He them made up his mind he leave the world. His brothers also formed the same resolution. Then Dharma's son Yudhishthira, the king of the Kurus, renouncing his ornaments, wore barks of trees Bhima and Arjuna and the twines, and the illustrious Draupadi similarly clad them salves in barks of trees, O sing. Having caused the preliminary rites of religion, O chief of Bharata's race which to bless them in the accomplishment of their design, those foremost of men renounced their sacred fires to the water. Seeing the preaches in that guise the ladies wept aloud.
गमनाय मतिं चक्रे भ्रातरशास्य ते तदा। ततः स राजा कौरव्यो धर्मपुत्रो युधिष्ठिरः॥ उत्सृज्याभरणान्यङ्गाज्जगृहे वल्कलान्युत। भीमार्जुनयमाश्चैव द्रौपदी च यशस्विनी॥ तथैव जगृहु: सर्वे वल्कलानि नराधिप। विधिवत् कारयित्वेष्टिं नैष्ठिकी भरतर्षभ॥ समुत्सृज्याप्सु सर्वेऽग्नीन् प्रतस्थुर्नरपुङ्गवाः। तत: प्ररुरुदुः सर्वाः स्त्रियो दृष्ट्वा नरोत्तमान्॥
