When these offsprings of the celestials were grown up under the care of their two mothers and in the society of holy Rishis, in the midst of sacred groves and in the holy hermitage, they were taken by the Rishis into the presence of Dhritarashtra and his sons. They followed them in the garb of Brahmacharis and as students; their hairs were tied in knots on their heads.
तापसैः सह संवृद्धा मातृभ्यां परिरक्षिताः। येध्यारण्येषु पुण्येषु महतामाश्रमेषु च॥ ऋषिभिर्यत्तदानीता धार्तराष्ट्रान्प्रति स्वयम्। शिशवश्चाभिरूपाश्च जटिला ब्रह्मचारिणः॥
