The destroyer of Keshi, viz., Janardana, thinking upon the omens that Time showed, understood that the thirty-sixth year had come, and that what Gandhari, burning with grief on account of the death of her sons, and deprived of all her kinsmen, had said was about to take place.
विमृशन्नेव कालं तं परिचिन्त्य जनार्दनः। मेने प्राप्तं स षट्त्रिंशं वर्षे वै केशिसूदनः॥ पुत्रशोकाभिसंतप्ता गान्धारी हतबान्धवा। यदनुव्याजहारार्ता तदिदं समुपागमत्॥
