When I shall burn the sons of Kuru like the god of fire burning at the time of bringing in this world a Yoga, at the end of another a large number of wicked souls, then will Dhritarashtra with his sons repent for the war.
उद्वर्तयन् दस्युसङ्घान् समेतान् प्रवर्तयन् युगमन्यद् युगान्ते। स्तदा तप्ता धृतराष्ट्रः सपुत्रः॥
