धृतराष्ट्रस्य पाण्डवेषु प्रीति-वृत्तान्तः | Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Affectionate Disposition toward the Pāṇḍavas
राजा निर्वेदमापेदे भीमवाग्बाणपीडित: । उस समयतक उन्हें राजा युधिष्ठिरके आश्रयमें रहते पंद्रह वर्ष व्यतीत हो चुके थे। पंद्रहवाँ वर्ष बीतनेपर भीमसेनके वाग्बाणोंसे पीड़ित हुए राजा धृतराष्ट्रको खेद एवं वैराग्य हुआ
rājā nirvedam āpede bhīmavāgbāṇapīḍitaḥ |
毗舍波耶那说：国王持国（Dhṛtarāṣṭra）被毗摩那如箭矢般锐利的言辞所折磨，遂陷入深沉的悔恨与离欲之心。虽在坚战（Yudhiṣṭhira）王的庇护下度过了十五年，他仍屡被毗摩塞那的口舌之刺所伤；而由此痛楚，他心中生起对世间执著的疲厌与转离。

Educational Q&A
Speech has moral weight: harsh words can wound like arrows and force a person to confront guilt and consequence. Here, the pain of being verbally pierced becomes a catalyst for nirveda—an ethical awakening that turns the mind away from attachment and toward renunciation.
After living for fifteen years under Yudhiṣṭhira’s protection, Dhṛtarāṣṭra is repeatedly stung by Bhīma’s cutting reminders of past wrongs. Unable to bear the ‘word-arrows,’ he falls into grief and dispassion, setting the stage for withdrawal from courtly life toward the forest-āśrama path.
