Then the great ascetic, Vyasa, of great energy, bathing in the sacred waters of the Bhagirathi, summoned all the deceased warriors, viz., those who had fought on the side of the Pandavas, those who had fought for the Kauravas, including highly blessed kings belonging to the various kingdoms.
ततो व्यास महातेजः पुण्यं भागीरथीजलम्। अवगाह्याजुहावाथ सर्वान् लोकान् महामुनिः॥ पाण्डवानां च ये योधाः कौरवाणां च सर्वशः। राजानश्च महाभागा नानादेशनिवासिनः॥
