Seeing his royal father of great splendour, emaciated and palc, reduced to unworthy of him worn out with fasts, and loO king like skeleton covered with skin, Dharma's son Yudhishthira shed tears of grief and once more said these words.
दृष्ट्वा कृशं विवर्णं च राजानमतथोचितम्। उपवासपरिश्रान्तं त्वगस्थिपरिवारणम्॥ धर्मपुत्रः स्वपितरं परिष्वज्य महाप्रभुम्। शोकजं बाष्पमुत्सृज्य पुनर्वचनमब्रवीत्॥
