Yudhishthira said This is well known in all the worlds that there is neither friendship nor enmity with the dead. When my brothers and Krishna died, I was unable to revive them. Hence it was that I renounced them, I did not, however, renounce them as long as they were alive.
नु युधिष्ठिर उवाच न विद्यते संधिरथापि विग्रहो मृतैर्मत्यैरिति लोकेषु निष्ठा। स्ततस्त्यागस्तेषु कृतो न जीवताम्॥
