6) \*Dharmaputra’s foot-nails become blue.\* Following the instructions of Dhṛtarāṣṭra, the Pāṇḍavas, approached and bowed before Gāndhārī. She covered her face with a cloth and wept, tears rolling down her cheeks. When Dharmaputra bent to touch her feet the latter saw through the veil on her face the foot-nails of Dharmaputra. A few drops of the lachrymal water fell on the foot-nails of Dharmaputra making them turn blue instantly. (Chapter 15, Strī Parva).
