There was one exception, however. It was Bhimasena. All that had followed from that match at dice which had been brought about by the wicked understanding of Dhritarashtra, did not go away from the heart of that hero. Yuthishthira always enjoined upon his bothers that Dhritarashtra, who was deprived of all his children, might not feel himself unhappy in any way. They also, on their part, listening to these pregnant commands from king Yudhishthira, showed particular obedience to the old king.
सविशेषमवर्तन्त भीममेकं तदा विना। न हि तत् तस्य वीरस्य हृदयादपसर्पति। धृतराष्ट्रस्य दुर्बुद्ध्या यद् वृत्तं द्यूतकारितम्॥
