[Mahāprasthānikaparvan] (“the section relating to the great journey to the other world,” the 17th of the great and the 99th of the minor parvans of Mhbhr.—§ 794: Janamejaya said : Having heard the battle with iron clubs between the Vṛṣṇis and Andhakas, and of Kṛṣṇa’s ascension to heaven, what did the Pāṇḍavas do? Vaiśampāyana said: Having heard the particulars of the great slaughter of the Vṛṣṇis, Yudhishṭhira set his heart on leaving the world, saying to his brothers that it is Time that ripens every creature, of which they approved. He made the kingdom over to Yuyutsu and installed Parikshit as king in Hastinapura, while Vajra ruled in Indraprastha. Then he offered oblations of water to Kṛṣṇa, Rāma, and Vasudeva, etc., and śrāddhas to his deceased kinsmen, and fed Vyāsa, Nārada, Yājñavalkya, and gave jewels, etc. (specification) to brahmans in honour of Kṛṣṇa. Kṛpa was installed as the preceptor of Parikshit. Then he summoned his subjects and informed them of his intentions; they tried in vain to dissuade him. He and his brothers and Draupadī removed their ornaments and wore 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. Kṛpa, etc., stood around Yuyutsu; Ulūpī entered the waters of Gaṅgā; Citrāṅgada set out for Manipūra; the grandmothers of Parikshit surrounded him.
