After a long while, O best of men, Dhritarashtra, having repeatedly swooned, said to Vidura. "Let all the ladies retire, even the illustrious Gandhari and all these friends! My mind is greatly unsettled!"-Thus addressed, Vidura, repeatedly trembling, slowly sent away the ladies, O foremost of Bharata's race.
तथेमे सुहृदः सर्वे भ्राम्यते मे मनो भृशम्। एवमुक्तस्ततः क्षत्ता ताः स्त्रियो भरतर्षभ॥ विसर्जयामास शनैर्वेपमानः पुनः पुनः।
