the Pāṇḍavas are capable of ruling without either thee or ourselves to look after them; Kuntī, etc. (ξ), will not do the least wrong to the people." Then Dhṛtarāshṭra slowly dismissed the assembly, and entered his house with Gāndhārī (XV, 10). After that night had passed away, Dhṛtarāshṭra sent Vidura to Yudhishṭhira in order to announce that he would set out for the woods on the coming day of the full moon in the month of Kārttika, and to solicit some wealth for performing the ҫrāddha of Bhīshma, etc. (ο). Yudhishṭhira and Arjuna applauded his words; Bhīma was unwilling, recollecting Duryodhana; Arjuna sought to pacify him, applauded by Yudhishṭhira; Bhīmasena maintained that gifts for Bhīshma, etc. (π), should be given by them, and by Kuntī for Karṇa; "Let Duryodhana, etc., sink from a miserable to a more miserable position," reminding his brothers of the woes and disgrace inflicted upon them by those for whose benefit Dhṛtarāshṭra asked for wealth (ρ). Yudhishṭhira rebuked him (XV, 11). Arjuna urged Bhīma to forget the injuries. Yudhishṭhira said to Vidura that he would give Dhṛtarāshṭra so much wealth as he wished for the obsequies of his sons and Bhīshma, etc., and asked him to tell Dhṛtarāshṭra not to be angry with Bhīmasena (XV, 12). Vidura reported the speeches of Yudhishṭhira, Arjuna, and Bhīma to Dhṛtarāshṭra. Dhṛtarāshṭra expressed his satisfaction, and set his heart on making large presents on the day of full moon in the month of Kārttika (XV, 13).
