Pandavas visit Dhrutharashtra duringbhis Vaanaprasdha

Pandavas were in Hasthinapuram. But all the time ,they were worried about the welfare of Dhrutharashtra and Gaandhaari.They were repenting for their acts of killing their relations.One day,Sahadevudu came to Dharmaraju and told him that he wanted to see his mother,Kunthee devi,who accompanied Dhrutharashtra and Gaandhaari to the woods.Droupadi also requested Dharmaraju that she too wanted to see her in laws.Dharmaraju deputed Krupaachaaryudu and Yuyuthsudu to look after the city and went to see his mother and other elders,along with his people. They came across sages ,who told them that Dhrutharashtra and his people gad gone to River Yamuna for taking bath.These people moved in that direction. There they saw all of them. Sahadevudu saw his mother first and went to her weeping.Kunthee Devi hugged him and informed Gaandhaari that Sahadeva came.Other pandavas introduced their arrival to Kuntheedevi,Dhrutharashtra and Gaandhaari and saluted them.Droupadi followed them.Sages and rishis ,in the near by vicinity also came to see pandavas. They asked Sanjaya to explain them who was who.Sanjaya explained them that the lean person with golden tan,who was like a lion with so much aura that no one could see straight into his eyes was Dharmaraju.The person with reddish tan and heavy shoulders and wide chest and long arms was Bheema. The dark skinned,stunning person who is regal like an elephant with lotus like eyes was ,none other than Arjuna.Two elegant and beautiful persons who were sitting on either side of Kunthee Devi were Nakula and Sahadeva.THey were like Vishnuvu and Indra sitting side by side.Woman ,who was dark skinned and so beautiful,even in her middle years,was Droupadi.other woman ,who was fair skinned and glowing like white lotus was Sree Krishnas sister,Subhadra.Besides these,Arjunas wuves,Uloochi and Chithraangada were also there.Bheemas wife,Nakulas wife and Shadevas wife were also there.Other women who were sitting there in white sarees with undone hair were widows of Kouravas.Abhimanyus widow,Uththara was also sitting near by Subhadra. Dhrutharashtra enquired Dharmaraju as to how he was ruling the country.Dharma raju replied him favorably and enquired how they were engaging themselves in the woods ,without any difficulties.Dhruatharashtra replied that he could do penance confortably and Kuntheedevi was looking after them as if she served her inlaws.Even Gaandhari was doing penance following in the foot steps of her husband.Sanjaya was a knowledgeable man. He was not afraid of doing penance. Vidurudu would be moving around in the woods. He would take in only air and water. He would not eat anything. Some times ,he would forsake even water and air and still live.
