When Yudhistira heard that Dhritarashtra was leaving, he along with his brothers and Draupadi came to stop them. They tried to convince them. They said they were willing to go off to the forest if that would please them.
Kunti said Please do not try to stop us.
Vidura said Please listen to me Yudhistira. You are thinking from your heart.
Dhritarashtra said I want to give some alms to the brahmins. As I have discarded everything, I ask Yudhitira to give me something that I can give away.
Yudhistira said All is yours. We are yours.
Saying this, he asked his brothers to get wealth to be given away. The four brothers went and got a lot. Happy Dhritarashtra and Gandhari gave that away to the brahmins.
Gandhari hugged and blessed the Pandavas.
Then holding Gandhari's hand, Dhritarashtra slowly walked away. Sanjaya went on their side. Vidura led the way. Kunti went along.
Leaving the land, they came to the river Ganga where they had a bath. They spent the night on the banks of the river. Early morning, they went northwards to the forest of Dwaipayana.
They went inside where they saw many sages living there. There they decided to stay. They built huts there. Vidura and Sanjaya helped to make sure Kunti, Gandhari and Dhritarashtra were comfortable.
The sages came and from them , Dhritarashtra and the others learnt how to meditate and lead their lives. They learnt mantras and how to recite them and how to do japa.
Thus, they stayed in the forest.
