The great fortunate Gandhari and Kunti and the other ladies of the royal household, dressed in gorgeous attire and accompanied by their maids in waiting, joyfully ascended the platforms as celestial ladies ascended the Sumeru mountain. Brahmanas, Kshatriyas and the others of the four orders of caste hurriedly left the city and came running there with the desire of seeing the princes skill in arms and they were so anger that they assembled all there in a moment.
गान्धारी च महाभागा कुन्ती च जयतां वर। स्त्रियश्च राज्ञः सर्वास्ताः सप्रेष्याः सपिरच्छदाः॥ हर्षादारुरुहुर्मञ्चान् मेरुं देवस्त्रियो यथा। ब्राह्मणक्षत्रियाद्यं च चातुर्वण्र्यं पुराद् द्रुतम्॥ दर्शनेप्सु समभ्यागात् कुमाराणां कृतास्त्रताम्। क्षणेनैकस्थतां तत्र दर्शनेप्सु जगाम ह॥
