Dhritarashtra grieves for his sons

It was early morning when Sanjaya told Dhritarashtra about the death of Dhritarashtra. It was as if sky fell on him. He could not believe his ears. He was wondering why he was alive with all his sons dead. Taking the names of his sons, the blind king fell down. He cried out taking the names of Bhishma, Karna and Drona. He called out to Shakuni blaming him for all this. He said he was feeling like a bird whose wings had been cut. He said I had been told by all to control my sons else this would happen. I did not listen to anyone and see what has happened now. Sanjaya, it must be because of sins that I have committed that this happened to me. How will I tell people that the Bhishma who could not be defeated by Parashurama, and felled by Arjuna. This Arjuna defeated Drona and killed Karna.
Take me to the battlefield. I will go and kill the Pandavas. I will cut off Arjuna's head and then ask Yudhistira to rule.

Hearing this, Sanjaya said - You should be saying this. You are a learned person and these words do not do justice to you. You knew what would happen. Also remember, one who is born has to die. Your son was also advised many times but he too did not listen to anyone. He just listened to Dushshasana and Shakuni and Karna. He made fun of the elders. Pandavas asked for some villages and Krishna came and tried to mediate but that did not help. You yourself tried to talk to him. Did he listen? Get from the ground. Throw the fire of anger out before it burns you.

Vidura also came and consoled the king. He said Get up O king. Do not grieve. Death is the ultimate reality. Be aware that all have gone to heaven, having fallen in Kurukshetra.

Vyasa also came there and tried to talk to Dhritarashta and console him. 

Sanjaya talks to Dhritarashtra

Sanjaya said to Dhritarashtra - The great warriors like Bhishma, Drona and Karna are dead. Arjuna has killed many great ones. He has been guided by the lotus eyed Krishna. The house of Lac was built to kill the Pandavas. Many plans were hatched.
Seeing Yudhistira become an emperor and seeing his wealth, your son became jealous. All was snatched and the Pandavas were banished. Not stopping, your son went to the Kamya forest to see them but was captured by the Gandharvas. The queens pleaded with Yudhistira for help. Yudhistira asked Arjuna to help and Arjuna freed your son.
Jayadhratha was sent to kidnap Draupadi. Draupadi's cries were heard by Bhima who overcame Jayadratha.
Whereever there is Krishna, there is victory.

Hearing Sanjaya, Dhritarashtra was quiet. All were grief stricken in the palace.

Yudhistira was wondering where Duryodhana was. 

Sanajaya goes to the Pandavas

Janmajeya asked What did Dhritarashtra then?
The sage said
Dhritarashtra seeing his son not listening called Sanajaya. He asked Sanajaya to go to the kingdom and meet the Pandavas. He said Give my blessings to the Pandavas. Give my blessings to Draupadi. Tell them what is in destiny will happen. My son has lost his mind. Tell Draupadi - He sent you to the forest and cheated you. Please forgive him. Tell the Pandavas that I have been worried when the Pandavas were away for thirteen years.

Sanjay went said to the Pandavas - All the elders tried to talk to Duryodhana but he would not listen. Dhritarashtra is anxious to see you.

Pandavas said What exactly did Karna and Duryodhana say?
Karna said He would kill Arjuna. Killing him, he would keep the rest of Pandavas as prisoners. War is inevitable and will happen.

Yudhistira said Sanajaya, Now go as my messenger and say that kingdom be divided as per the law else it will be a disaster. Bhima said - Remind Duryodhana that I have not forgotten my promise of breaking his thigh. Yudhistira said If Duryodhana comes to my refuge I grant him immunity. He and his brothers will not be harmed. Arjuna said - Tell the king that he should divide the kingdom equally. If he wants, I can go and fight and win it over. If not agreed to, the entire dynasty will be destroyed. Dhritarashtra is acting like the Vatapi bird.

Arjuna said Let me tell you the story.

Sanjaya tells Dhritarashtra about the Pandavas

Janmajeya asked the sage , Did Dhritarashtra get to know about this? How did he react?

The sage continued.

Dhritarashtra sent for Sanjaya and asked him if he was aware of the travels of Arjuna, about which he had heard rumors. Sanjaya said - I know all this. Arjuna fought with Shiva and was blessed by him. Arjuna then went to the heavens where he was taught how to use amazing weapons.

Dhritarashtra was sad. How would someone be able to able to win over Arjuna.

Sanjaya told the blind king about Krishna's visit to Yudhistira, Sanjaya said Krishna was very angry when he heard of the exile of Pandavas and had said that all the lost wealth and kingdom would be back theirs.

Dhritarashtra said he had felt that the days of his lineage was ending, the day the hair of Draupadi had been touched.
