Having said this, the citizens followed the Pandavas, and drawing near, all spoke with joined palms to these sons of Kunti and Madri: "Where will you go, leaving us, sharers in your sorrow — may good fortune attend you? We too will follow wherever you go. Hearing that merciless enemies have defeated you through unrighteousness, we are all deeply distressed: do not abandon us. We are devoted to you, we love you, we ever wish for your good; in the kingdom of a wicked ruler we would perish utterly."
