Why, however have you come without king Duryodhana, in your company? Tell me in detail the cause thereof. "Yuyutsu then said." After the destruction of Shakuni, O sire, with all his relations and friends, king Duryodhana, leaving behind his horse, fled away in fear towards the east.
युयुत्सुरुवाच विना राज्ञः प्रेवशाद् वै किमसि त्वमिहागतः॥ एतद् वै कारणं सर्वं विस्तरेण निवेदय। निहते शकुनौ तत्र सज्ञातिसुतबान्धवे॥ हतशेषपरीवारो राजा दुर्योधनस्ततः। स्वकं स हयमुत्सृज्य प्राङ्मुखः प्राद्रवद् भयात्॥
