c5.s4.15.5

Kṛṣṇa caused Arjuna to take down the Gāṇḍīva and his inexhaustible quivers, and then to dismount; then Kṛṣṇa also dismounted; the celestial ape disappeared, and the chariot (burnt by Droṇa and Karṇa with the Brāhma weapon), with its steeds, etc., was reduced to ashes. Kṛṣṇa congratulated Yudhiṣṭhira on his victory, and Yudhiṣṭhira attributed that victory to Kṛṣṇa's power (w). In the encampment of the Kurus they found great wealth; at Kṛṣṇa's suggestion the Pāṇḍavas and Sātyaki resolved to pass the night at a spot outside the camp, on the banks of the Oghavatī. They then dispatched Kṛṣṇa to Hāstinapura in order to pacify the wrath of Gāndhārī, and to comfort her and Dhṛtarāṣṭra. He set out with Dāruka upon his chariot, yoked with Śaibya and Sugrīva (IX, 62). Asked by Janamejaya, Vaiśampāyana said that the reason why Yudhiṣṭhira sent Kṛṣṇa to Hāstinapura was his fear that Gāndhārī, by means of her ascetic merit, should reduce the Pāṇḍavas to ashes, because Duryodhana had been slain unfairly (aa); "Vyāsa will be there." Kṛṣṇa caused Dāruka to equip his chariot, and quickly set out for Hāstinapura. He arrived at Dhṛtarāṣṭra's palace, where Vyāsa had arrived before him; he comforted Dhṛtarāṣṭra (bb) and Gāndhārī (yy), who said that her heart had become steady (δδ). Then Kṛṣṇa came to know the evil that was meditated by Aṣvatthāman, and suddenly took leave, requested by Dhṛtarāṣṭra and Gāndhārī to protect the Pāṇḍavas, and proceeded with Dāruka. Vyāsa comforted Dhṛtarāṣṭra.
