| | Dhritarashtra said: You say that the knowledge of Brahman dwells of itself in the mind, being only discovered by Brahmacharya; that is dwelling in the mind, it requires for its manifestation no efforts (such as are necessary for work) being manifested (of itself) during the seeking (by means of Brahmacharya). | | | Dhritarashtra said: In this world, some practise virtue, and some renounce action or Karma (adopting what is called Sannyasa Yoga). | | | Dhritarashtra said: The Vedas declare the emancipating capacity of those highly sacred and eternal regions that are said to be obtainable by the regenerate classes by prayers and sacrifices. |

| | Because the battle was arranged to be fought at Kurukshetra, which is mentioned elsewhere in the Vedas as a place of worship - even for the denizens of heaven - Dhritarashtra became very fearful about the influence of the holy place on the outcome of the battle. | | | Dhritarashtra said: O Sanjaya, after my sons and the sons of Pandu assembled in the place of pilgrimage at Kurukshetra, desiring to fight, what did they do? | | | Both the Pandavas and the sons of Dhritarashtra belong to the same family, but Dhritarashtra’s mind is disclosed herein. |

| | Therefore, knowing that Dhritrashtra could rob him of his life, or knowing that Dhritarashtra wants Duryodhan to be the ruler of Hastinapur – even if that requires killing the Pandavas, Yudhishthir does not disobey any of Dhritarashtra’s commands. | | | Although pita means ‘care-taker’ and there is no doubt that in Pandu’s absence, it was Dhritarashtra who was as a father to the Pandavas, but while leaving for Varnavat, it was said about the Pandavas: sarvaa maatristatha aprichhya kritva chaiv pradakshinat. | | | It was not possible to win any argument by logic in Dhritarashtra’s assembly, in the presence of Duryodhan’s goons and friends. |
