शोच्या गान्धारी पुत्रपौत्रैर् विहीना; तथा वध्वः पितृभिर् भ्रातृभिश् च कृतं कार्यं दुष्करं पाण्डवेयैः; प्राप्तं राज्यम् असपत्नं पुनस् तैः

śocyā gāndhārī putrapautrair vihīnā; tathā vadhvaḥ pitṛbhir bhrātṛbhiś ca kṛtaṃ kāryaṃ duṣkaraṃ pāṇḍaveyaiḥ; prāptaṃ rājyam asapatnaṃ punas taiḥ

“After the final omens and the tale of Aswatthaman's weapon, Dhritarashtra laments that Gandhari is destitute of children and kindred, and that only ten survived of the eighteen Akshauhinis; overwhelmed with anguish and deprived of sense, he addresses Sanjaya. (trans. K.M. Ganguli)”
