THE MAHABHARATA
 
At that time then, a man of knowledge,
who had been sent out by Vidura to live
abroad, showed to the Pandavas a boat
constructed by trustworthy men and having
made them cross the Ganges, he went
away as he came.
 
ङ्गामुत्तीर्य वेगेन भीमसेनो महाबलः ।
आदाय कुन्तीं भ्रातॄंश्च जगामाशु स पावनिः ॥
 
Having crossed the Ganges quickly, the
mighty Bhimasena, son of Vayu, walked
fast, carrying Kunti and his brothers.
 
अथाम्बिकेयस्सामात्यः सकर्णस्सहसौबलः ।
सात्मजः पार्थनाशस्य स्मरंस्तथ्यं जहर्ष च ॥
 
Thinking that the death of the Pandavas
had really taken place, Dhritarashtra, along
with his ministers, Karna, Sakuni and his
own sons, rejoiced.
 
भीष्मा [राजन् ] दुर्धर्षो विदुरश्च महामतिः ।
जहषाते स्मरन्तौ तौ जातुषाग्ने र्विमोचनम् ॥
