Hearing these words of Arjuna, Yudhistira fell on the ground. Bhima, Nakula, Sahadeva, Draupadi and Parikshita also could not control their grief. All started crying out, grieving for Krishna.
The one who saved us in Kurukshetra is no more. With the help of whom, Khandava was burnt, is no longer with us. He who saved us by being the charioteer of Arjuna, not with us. When Draupadi was being insulted and disrobed and her five husbands could not do anything, Krishna helped her. That Krishna is not there. He, who saved the Pandavas from the rage of Durvasa is gone. When we wanted to leave all after the war, it was Krishna who made us stay back and rule.
Yudhistira called his brothers and said There is no point staying here. We will go where Krishna has gone and be united with him. Call the brahmins and we will distribute our wealth among them.
Hearing this, his brothers said We will go where you go. You will lead us.
Draupadi said You cannot leave me. I am wedded to all five of you. I will also go along with you.
Yudhistira agreed. A messenger was sent to Mathura. Vraja was informed of this. Vraja came to them. Yudhistira crowned Vraja the king of Indraprastha and Praikshita was crowned the king of Hastinapura.
Then seeing an auspicious moment, the Pandavas along with Draupadi came out of the palace. They took leave of the Guru Kripacharya and the priest Dhaumya.
He said to his subjects - Do not grieve for us. Parkishita is now your king. He will rule and lead you. Support him.
Saying this, they took the name of Krishna and started east wards. Arjuna saw a tall man standing there. The man said He was Agni. He said he had come to collect the Gandiva and the inexhaustible quivers.
Arjuna gave that to Agni. Agni left and the Pandavas bowed to him and resumed their journey.
