अध्याय १५ (Āśramavāsika-parva): धृतराष्ट्रस्य वनवासानुज्ञायाचनम् — Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s renewed plea for consent to forest-dwelling
सो<ब्रवीन्मातरं कुन्तीं वनं तमनुजग्मुषीम् । अहं राजानमन्विष्ये भवती विनिवर्तताम्
so 'bravīn mātaraṃ kuntīṃ vanaṃ tam anujagmūṣīm | ahaṃ rājānam anviṣye bhavatī vinivartatām ||
Vaiśaṃpāyana dit : Il parla à sa mère Kuntī, qui le suivait vers cette forêt : «Je vais partir à la recherche du roi ; toi, retourne en arrière.» L’instant met en lumière le devoir du fils et sa sollicitude protectrice : aller quérir l’aîné légitime tout en épargnant à sa mère de nouvelles épreuves.
