ततस्ते बाष्पमुत्सृज्य गान्धारीसहितं नृपम् । उपतस्थुर्महात्मानो मातरं च यथाविधि
Transliteration
tatas te bāṣpam utsṛjya gāndhārī-sahitaṁ nṛpam | upatasthur mahātmāno mātaraṁ ca yathā-vidhi ||
Translation
随后，般度五子拭去泪水，怀着高贵之心走上前去，依礼向持国王与甘陀利一同致敬，又依礼拜见母亲昆蒂。此景彰显克制而有法度的哀恸：悲伤虽在，却以应尽之礼与对长者的敬奉来守持本分。

Even amid intense grief, one should act according to dharma: restrain emotion when required and uphold reverence and proper conduct toward elders and parents.
After weeping, the Pāṇḍavas compose themselves and formally approach to pay respects—first to King Dhṛtarāṣṭra accompanied by Gāndhārī, and also to their mother Kuntī—following prescribed etiquette.
