Dhritarashtra said Man is not the creator of his happiness or misery like a wooden doll moved by a thrcad. He has been made subject to the Fates by Providence. Therefore speak on; I am patiently hearing you.
धृतराष्ट्र उवाच अनीश्वरोऽयं पुरुषो भवाभवे सूत्रप्रोता दारुमयीव योषा। धात्रा तु दिष्टस्य वशे कृतोऽयं तस्माद् वद त्वं श्रवणो धृतोऽहम्॥
