performing last rites to the dead warriors

Dhrutharashtra told Dharmaraju to see that last rites are performed to all the warriors ,whether they had relatives or not.Dharmaraju replied him that he would look into the matter of cremating and performing last rites to all the warriors.THEY themselves had to do it. He called Dhoumyudu,Vidurudu, Sanjaya, and Yuyuthsuduand told them to cremate everyone whether had relatives or not,accordingly according to the rules and regulations stipulated.He allocated this work to appropriate candidates remaining there. Dhoumyudu and others took the help of Brahmins to do that and at that time ,chanting of Rugveda,Yajurveda and SAAMAGAANA REVERBERATED THE ENTIRE AREA. Women wept for the loss of their near and dear.Dharmaraju performed last rites kourava warriors after taking bath in Ganges along with Dhrutharashtra.Then Kunthee devi went to Dharma raju andtold every one that Karna was her son and not Radhas son.He was her first born son to God Sun.She told Dharmaraju to perform last rites to Karna also.Pandavas were shocked at the news. They wept for their lost brother. Dharmaraju expressed his grief like this. Mother!because Karna was his friend,Duryodhana dared to fight with Bheema and Arjuna.Because Karna was Duryodhanas right hand,Poundra,Vaideha and other kings became Duryodhanas Saamantha kings.A ll our armies were afraid of Karna only.All the time,we were afraid of Karna only.Why did you deliver Karna first?Death of Karna is more painful to me than the deaths of Abhimanyu,Ghatothkacha,and death of Droupadi sons.If we had known that he was our elder brother,we would not have got into war with Kouravas.With a heavy heart,he performed last rites to his elder brother.Gaandhaaree and Dhrutharashtra also attended the procedures.Dharma raju called for Karnas family members and repsectfully treated them.He gave many donations in his name.
