entered the retreat of Vyāsa. 8, 254, 255, (261): A. informed Vyāsa of what had passed (ν) (“500,000 warriors have thus been laid down”). Vyāsa said that Kṛṣṇa, as also the Pāṇḍavas, had finished their work; “the time has come for your departure from this world,” etc. (ξ). A. entered Hāstinapura and informed Yudhiṣṭhira of what had taken place.—§ 794 (Mahāprasthan.), XVII, 1, 2, 5, 20, 31, 37, 38: The Pāṇḍavas set their heart on leaving the world; the kingdom was made over to Yuyutsu, and Parikshit installed as king in Hāstinapura, while Vajra ruled in Indraprastha. Kṛpa was installed as the preceptor of Parikshit. The subjects tried in vain to dissuade them; they and Draupadī divested themselves of their ornaments and dressed in the barks of trees; then they threw their sacred fires into the water. Then they set out on their journey: the five Pāṇḍavas, Draupadī, and a dog; wandering towards the east they reached the sea of red water. Agni came (α) and caused A. to throw the Gāṇḍīva and his inexhaustible quiver into the water and thus restore them to Varuṇa. They now proceeded towards the south, etc., wishing to make a round of the whole earth. 2, 67: Having crossed Himavat, etc., Kṛṣṇa dropped down, in consequence of her partiality for A.; then Sahadeva, then Nakula, then A. fell down; A., because he had said that he would consume all the foes in a single day, but had not accomplished it. 3, 92: Yudhiṣṭhira’s second test.
