毗湿摩波耶那说：德罗帕蒂（黑公主克里希纳）也启程了；萨特瓦塔族的苏跋陀罗亦然；库鲁家族的乌塔拉怀抱幼子同行。奇特兰伽达也出发了，内宫中其余诸女亦尽随行——她们都与国王一道上路，并由各自的儿媳相伴。

Educational Q&A
Even when political life ends, dharma continues through steadfast loyalty and shared responsibility: the royal women do not abandon the elder king but accompany him, showing that renunciation is not merely personal withdrawal but also a disciplined, duty-bound transition supported by the household.
As Dhṛtarāṣṭra departs for the forest life, the principal women—Draupadī, Subhadrā, Uttarā (with her child), Citrāṅgadā, and other palace women—also set out with him, along with their daughters-in-law, forming a collective departure from the palace toward ascetic retirement.
