Shloka 15
सकामो भव कौरव्य भुड्क्ष्व राज्यं सपुत्रक: । तच्छुत्वा धृतराष्ट्रस्तु सह पुत्रेण शोचयन्,तथा राजा धृतराष्ट्रके पास यथावत् समाचार कहनेके लिये किसीको भेजकर कहलाया --“कुरुनन्दन! तुम्हारा महान् मनोरथ पूरा हो गया। पाण्डवोंको तुमने जला दिया। अब तुम कृतार्थ हो जाओ और पुत्रोंके साथ राज्य भोगो।” यह सुनकर पुत्रसहित धृतराष्ट्र शोकमग्न हो गये
