Vidura passes away

Sages near the banks of Yamuna told Dharma raju that Viduruda was wandering in the forests without taking any food.Dharma raju saw him there.Vidurudu was unclean,dust all over his body, his hair was tangled and unclean.He was nude.Vidurudu saw the sages in aashram and ran away from that place.Dharmaraju warded off his people and he alone went in search of Vidurudu.Vidurudu observed that Dharmaraju alone was coming for him and he stood under a tree at a far off place.Dharmaraju went and stood before Vidurudu. Vidurudu was silent and stood before Dharmaraju. Dharmaraju requested him to look up and see him.Vidurudu looked up in a calm and composed manner and seeing Dharmaraju in a concentrated manner relieved himself of the body and joined his aathma ie soul with that of Dharmaraju.As soon as the soul of Vidura joined Djarmarajus soul,Dharmaraju became more strong,more ascetic and more strong.Dharma raju was awe struck with this development. He wanted to perform last rites to the body of deceased Vidura.But a celestial voice from the sky warned Dharmaraju from performing last rites to vIDURAS BODY.dHARMARAJAA!Vidura is a great maharshi.It is not apt for such a great soul to perform last rites as if he were a common man. So,do not do any thing to him. Dharma raju came back and told others what had happened in the woods.Every one was astonished.all the sages went to their abodes. Dharmaraju and his relatives stayed with Dhrutharashtra and others for another month.One day,Vyaasa maharshi came there. HE enquired DHRUTHARASHTRA.hEY KING!have you accustom yourself to the life in the woods?Are you indulging yourself along Gaandhaari in penance?Did you forget the sorrow for your deceased sons?Are you aware that Kunthee devi has forsaken her children and the kingdom to serve you with Bhakthi and respect?Dharmaraju is inacarnation of deity of Truth,himself.That was the reason why the aura of Vidura has joined him.
