Dhritarashtra said He who lives for a hundred years, who is gifted with heroism, who studies the Vedas and who celebrates sacrifices with devotion, indeed, such men proceed to the region of Shakra. I shall go to a higher region, Indeed, Dhritarashtra shall not go there.
धृतराष्ट्र उवाच शतवर्षजीवी यश्च शूरो मनुष्यो वेदाध्यायी यश्च यज्वाऽप्रमत्तः। एते सर्वे शक्रलोकं व्रजन्ति परं गन्ता धृतराष्ट्रो न तत्र॥
