3.47.2

kathaṃ hi rājā putraṃ svamupekṣetālpacetasam |
duryodhanaṃ pāṇḍuputrānkopayānaṃ mahārathān || 2 ||

Janamejaya said, "Having sent the heroic sons of Pandu into exile, these lamentations, O Muni, of Dhritarashtra were perfectly futile. Why did the king permit his foolish son Duryodhana to thus incense those mighty warriors, the sons of Pandu? Tell us now, O Brahmana, what was the food of the sons of Pandu, while they lived in the woods? Was it of the wilderness, or was it the produce of cultivation?"
