毗舍波耶那说：噢，婆罗多族中最卓越者，（持国王身旁）有诸位儿媳，有甘陀利，亦有毗度罗；又有其他怀善意的亲友宗族，皆以他的福祉为念——在战争带来的倾覆之中，以谋议与照拂相随左右。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the dharmic ideal of standing by elders and leaders in distress: true well-wishers—family and friends—offer companionship and guidance, especially after the moral and social devastation of war.
Vaiśampāyana describes Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s entourage: the Kuru daughters-in-law, Queen Gāndhārī, Vidura, and other supportive relatives and friends accompany him, indicating a collective movement or departure undertaken with counsel and care.
