The king Dhritarashtra, from a desire to please his son, remembered not that Vidura was a wise man among the Kurus and wished for the well-being of the Kurus, of very great learning, adept at speech and well behaved.
मेधाविनं ह्यर्थकामं कुरूणां बहुश्रुतं वाग्मिनं शीलवन्तम्। स तं राजा धृतराष्ट्रः कुरुभ्यो न सस्मार विदुरं पुत्रकाम्यात्॥
