The people were busy in supplying every object of pleasure and enjoyment to him in his retirement at the command of Dhritarashtra.
भारतं सह भार्याभ्यां खड्गबाणधनुर्धरम्। विचित्रकवचं वीरं परमास्त्रविदं नृपम्। देवोऽयमित्यमन्यन्त चरन्तं वनवासिनः॥ तस्य कामांश्च भोगांश्च नरा नित्यमतन्द्रिताः। उपाजहुर्वनान्तेषु धृतराष्ट्रेण चोदिताः॥
