अभ्यगच्छन्त सहिता: पृथां पृथुलवक्षस: । फिर उनकी आज्ञा ले चौड़ी छातीवाले सभी पाण्डव एक साथ वीरजननी माता कुन्तीके पास गये ।। चिरस्य दृष्टवा पुत्रान् सा पुत्राधिभिरभिप्लुता

Vaiśampāyana said: Having taken her permission, all the broad-chested Pāṇḍavas went together to Pṛthā (Kuntī), the mother who had borne heroes. After a long time, seeing her sons again, she was overwhelmed—flooded with maternal feeling at the sight of her children.
