Translation

Vaiśampāyana berkata: Bersama Gāndhārī, para wanita pun duduk dalam satu himpunan. Orang kota dan penduduk desa juga—daripada segala peringkat usia—mengambil tempat masing-masing menurut tertib yang wajar. Adegan ini menegaskan penyertaan bersama dan adab hormat, ketika masyarakat seluruhnya menumpukan perhatian kepada para tua dan kewajipan tahap akhir kehidupan.
