Because of this blessing Sañjaya used to inform Dhṛtarāṣṭra of all the events in the battle at the time of the occurrence. Sañjaya informed Dhṛtarāṣṭra of the news up to the death of Duryodhana. When Duryodhana was killed the cry of Aśvatthāmā grew louder. Sañjaya who heard this cry early in the morning, ran to the battlefield with a broken heart. With the death of Duryodhana the boon of inward eye given to Sañjaya by Vyāsa was lost. (M.B. Bhīṣma Parva, Chapter 2; Śauptika Parva, Chapter 9).
