They sent messenger to the king to tell him all that had happened and they said, “Your great end has been achieved, you have burnt to death the Pandavas. O descendant of Kuru, your desire is (now) fulfilled; enjoy the kingdom with your sons." Having heard this, Dhritarashtra with his sons expressed their sorrow.
राज्ञे च प्रेषयामासुर्यथावृत्तं निवेदितुम्। संवृत्तस्ते महान् कामः पाण्डवान् दग्धवानसि॥ सकामो भव कौरव्य भुड्क्ष्व राज्यं सपुत्रकः। तच्छ्रुत्वा धृतराष्ट्रस्तु सह पुत्रेण शोचयन्॥
