After all the kings of the earth have stood up, the great king (Dhritarashtra) began to enquire of Sanjaya in secret, the resolves of his own party and of his enemies and Pandavas, after the one who was subject to wishes of his son had wished them (the kings) success.
उत्थितेषु महाराज पृथिव्यां सर्वराजसु। रहिते संजयं राजा परिप्रष्टुं प्रचक्रमे॥ आशंसमानो विजयं तेषां पुत्रवशानुगः। आत्मनश्च परेषां च पाण्डवानां च निश्चयम्॥
