* Ashramavasik Parva (Book 15) * Fifteen years after the war, Dhritarashtra and Gandhari confessed their desire to lead the forest mode of life. Vyas reassured Yudhishthir that this was the right thing for them to do in their old age. Followed to the gate by many well-wishers, the elderly couple departed with Vidur and Sanjay. The Pandavas were distressed to see Kunti go with them and, despite their attempts to change her mind, her resolution was firm. A year later, the Pandavas visited the elders at the banks of the Ganga, along with many relatives and citizens. They greeted each other emotionally. Dhritarashtra explained that the absent Vidur was practising austere penances in the forest and subsiding on air alone. Just then, he was seen from a distance. Yudhishthir ran towards him but he rushed deep into the forest. The son of Kunti finally reached him. With matted locks and naked body covered in dirt, Vidur was standing against a tree, gaze fixed on the king. Motionless in Yoga, he then gave up his life by entering Yudhishthir's body and, at the same time, the latter felt himself becoming stronger in virtue, energy and knowledge. Vyas explained that Vidur was Dharmaraj himself and that Yudhishthir was in fact the son of Dharmaraj. They stayed together for a month. Then one day, hearing that many were still aggrieved by the loss of loved ones, the great Rishi Vyas explained that all in the war were heroes and were incarnations of different deities. That night, using his incredible powers attained through penances, he summoned all the dead from the war. In a wondrous scene, thousands arose from the waters dressed in celestial garments. The living and the dead all met and reconciled with happy hearts, including the Pandavas and Karna. Dhritarashtra saw his children too for Vyas gave him celestial vision. After spending the whole night together in contentment, the dead were dismissed. Some widows plunged into the river to join their husbands. The Pandavas reluctantly bade farewell to the elders and returned to the city. Two years later, Dhritarashtra, Gandhari and Kunti perished in a forest fire. . . .
