Yudhishthira said - uncle, poisoning, in Lakshagriha

In times of calamity that befell us like burning

You have saved us along with mother. your umbrella-

Do you remember us growing up in the shade?

What was it? (8)


In what way do you roam the earth?

Made a living? Any major on Earth

Did you visit the pilgrimage sites?

Lord, a devotee of God like us is a pilgrimage in itself

By doing this, you make the tirthas themselves fit for the great tirtha. (10)


Our friend, brother-in-law Yadav, whose only

Aradhya Shri Krishna is there, he is happy in our city

Are there? Even if you haven't met them in person

You may have heard about them.

After Yudhishthira asked this, Vidura visited the shrines and

In detail what was experienced in relation to the Yaduvanshiyas, only he did not say anything about the destruction of the Yadu dynasty.(12)


Compassionate Vidura saddened the Pandavas

The incident was not told to the Pandavas. Otherwise, the incident would have been understood automatically. (13)


Pandavas used to serve Vidura like a god.

He stayed happily in Hastinapur for some days and his

Concerned for the welfare of his elder brother Dhritarashtra, he pleased everyone.(14)


Vidura was actually Yamaraj. By Sage Mandavya

 Due to the curse, he was born as a Shudra for a hundred years


 had arrived.* During this period Aryama replaced Yamaraja

Was and


He was punishing the sinners accordingly. (15)


Those who are like ombudsmen when the state is acquired

King Yudhishthira with his brothers, to Parikshit who led his dynasty

On seeing Shrestha Rajyalakshmi started to be happy. (16)


Thus the Pandavas indulged in household chores

And at the same time, they did not even notice that yours

Life has come to an end. Who is looking at the time?

Can't avoid it, she came. (17)


But knowing the speed of time, Vidura said to Dhritarashtra-


Maharaj, now the time is very difficult.


 Then leave here immediately. (18)


O king, the almighty, such a time is now for us all

Hovering over the head, avoid it

There is no solution anywhere.(19)


Subject to time, very dear to life

Even the soul that is there goes away as it speaks; Then money,

What is the story of other items etc.? (20)


All our cousins, brothers, relatives, and sons were killed


Gone, we are also old, the body is a victim of aging


It's done and you come to someone else's shelter

She is strong! Hence the food is given by Bhima


Eating and living like a dog!

Wanted to kill by using poison, those in Bhar Sabha


 A married wife is insulted, whose land and


Money taken away lives on their own food

 

What is the meaning of nutrition? (23)


You still want to be alive, this is you


The limit of stupidity! Corrupted by old age


You did not desire this body like an old garment


However, it is declining. (24)


This body will now fulfill any selfishness of yours


No. Don't get involved. Break the bounds of affection and become dispassionate. which


Unknowingly abandoning the body to our fellow beings,


He is called the true courageous man.(25)



By own understanding or by being understood by others,


One who perceives this world as suffering and becomes detached from it


And subdue your heart to God in your heart


He wears it and goes out of the house to take sannyasa


be a good man.(26)



Hereafter will be the diminishing of human qualities,


So we went to Uttarakhand without the knowledge of our families


Go away. (27)


When the younger brother Vidura to the blind king Dhritarashtra


Explained in this way, breaking the strong bonds of brotherhood


Leaving, he set out on the path shown by his brother. (28)



Just like heroes in the field of battle

Those who have taken Sannyas by traveling to the Himalayas are like this


It is said that our husband has left for a pilgrimage to the Himalayas


Subalnandini Gandhari is also theirs


(२९)


Followed by.

Ajatasatru Yudhishthira (on the second day) in the morning

Salutations to the Brahmins with Sandhyavandan and Agnihotra,

 He was gifted with sesame seeds, cows, land and gold. After that

When he went to the palace to pay his respects to Gurujan

When he went, he did not see Dhritarashtra, Vidura and Gandhari there.॥30॥



Yudhishthira to Sanjaya who was sitting there sad

Asked, Sanjaya, where is that old blind uncle Dhritarashtra of mine

are ?(31)


Gandhari

And where did my benevolent cousin Vidura go? Dhritarashtra

He was sad because his sons and brothers were killed.

See how I am slow-witted! Some guilt on my part

happened

Seeing this, he jumped into the Ganges along with Mata Gandhari

Isn't it? (32)


When our father Pandu died, we

 gets smaller At that time both these cousins ​​were in a difficult situation

 saved us Where did they go from here? (33)


This Suta said - our lord Dhritarashtra is not visible

Bewildered by their grace and affection

Sanjay Virhane was very hard. It is because of suffering

Yudhishthira could not give any answer.

(३४)

He wiped his tears with his hands, composed himself and

He remembered the footsteps of his lord Dhritarashtra

said to Yudhishthira.(35)


Sanjay said - O Kurukulnandan, both of you

I wonder what cousins ​​and Gandhari thought

No idea at all. Mahabaho, those Mahatmas made me a child. (36)


At that time Devarshi Narada along with Tumburu Gandharva came there.

Yudhishthira, along with his brothers got up and saluted them

 And said respecting them. (37)


Yudhishthira said - Lord, of my two cousins

I don't need a location. Both of them and putrasokane

Where did poor Mata Gandhari go from here?

Would it be better? (38)


Lord, like a boat through this bottomless sea of ​​sorrow

You are the passer. Then Lord Narada said.

(३९)


Do not mourn for anyone, Dharmaraja; because

All this world is subject to God. All these people and

One God is the one whose command Lokpal obeys

Introduces the animal to another and he to them

separates. (40)


Just like those tied to big claims and small ones

A bull with a rope in its nose is a burden to its master

In the same way, humans also have many types of varnashrama

Those who are bound in ropes in the form of Vedas obey the commands of the Lord.(41)


As sports material as desired by the player

Mobilization and disposal are required, and so is God's

It is only by desire that human beings are united and separated.

(४२)


You are eternal in the form of life and impermanent in the form of the people,

Or in the form of pure Brahman, there is neither eternal nor eternal

However, in any state other than infatuation, they are unsuitable for mourning.

(४३)


So, O king of righteousness, they are like the poor and the suffering

How can they live without me in a helpless state, ha

Let go of the foolishness of the ignorant mind.

(४४)

This body is made up of Panchamahabhutas Kaal, Karma and

Subject to Guna. Found in the mouth of a python

How can this submissive body like a human being protect others? (45)


Binhatwale means those with arms, without legs (grass

, etc.) of four-footed beasts and small creatures large

There is food for living things. Thus one life to another

It causes the life of the living being.

(४६)


O king, these are the many forms of living beings

One self-light outside and inside and the soul of all

Behold God manifesting in many forms through maya. (47)


Maharaja, the same Lord who gives life to all beings

At this time, the destruction of those who betray the gods on this earth

has been incarnated in time to do. (48)


He has completed the work of the gods. The rest of the work is enough

They have stopped to do. As long as they are with the Lord, we should stay here.

(४९) ॥५०॥


In the southern part of the Himalayas where the Saptapi


Mother Ganga bathes herself in seven different streams for happiness


 is divided, called Saptasrota, there


Dhritarashtra, his wife Gandhari, and Vidura in the hermitage of sages,


(५०-५१)



Have gone with them.


There he bathed three times and ritually performed Agnihotra


do Now any kind of wish in their mind


 No balance. They live there peacefully drinking only water

By perfecting the posture, subduing the pranas,


He withdrew all his six senses from the subjects


is By perceiving God alone, His tamas, rajas and


Defects of sattva guna have disappeared. (53)



He connected the ego with the intellect and made him a field expert

As the Kshetrajna was merged, so was the Sarvadishtana

Bringing the mind under control, all subjects are returned to the outside

has been erased. Having renounced all deeds


 Do not obstruct their way, who remain like trees. (54-55)



Oh Dharmaraja, on the fifth day from today they will be yours

She was standing outside seeing her husband's body burning


Sadhvi Gandhari entered that fire for companionship
