Consolation of Yudhiṣṭhira; Rites and Gifts; Return to Hastināpura
धृतराष्ट्र पुरस्कृत्य विवेश गजसाह्वयम् । तत्पश्चात् ब्राह्मणोंको बहुत-सा धन देकर पाण्डवशिरोमणि युधिष्ठिरने धृतराष्ट्रको आगे करके हस्तिनापुरमें प्रवेश किया
dhṛtarāṣṭraṃ puraskṛtya viveśa gajasāhvayam | tatpaścāt brāhmaṇebhyo bahu-sā dhanaṃ dattvā pāṇḍavaśiromaṇiḥ yudhiṣṭhiraḥ dhṛtarāṣṭram agre kṛtvā hastināpuraṃ praviśat |
Vaiśampāyana said: Placing Dhṛtarāṣṭra at the forefront, he entered Gajasāhvaya (Hastināpura). Thereafter, having bestowed abundant wealth upon the brāhmaṇas, Yudhiṣṭhira—the foremost among the Pāṇḍavas—entered Hastināpura with Dhṛtarāṣṭra leading the way. The scene underscores royal humility and the ethic of honoring elders and sustaining the learned through generous gifts.
