I dared not leave that vow unaccomplished lest I should be regarded as having swerved from the duties of a *kṣatriya*." *Gāndhārī* then inquired after *Yudhiṣṭhira*, who appeared before her and invoked her curses on himself for his sinful slaughter of all her sons; *Gāndhārī's* glance (under the cloth that covered her eyes) blasted a nail of *Yudhiṣṭhira's* toe. *Arjuna* moved away to the seat of *Kṛṣṇa*, and also the other *Pāṇḍavas* became restless. *Gāndhārī* then comforted the *Pāṇḍavas* and dismissed them. They then met with their mother *Kuntī*, who wept seeing their many scars. *Draupadī* wept for her children and *Abhimanyu*; *Kuntī* consoled her, and so did *Gāndhārī* (mentioning *Vidura's* predictions) (XI, 15).
