Vaishampayana said: "Then all of them came before Dhritarashtra, O Janamejaya. Having asked after the king's welfare and been asked after their own in turn, they set about their business. A cowherd named Samanga, whom they had prepared beforehand, standing nearby, informed Dhritarashtra about the cattle. Then Radheya and Shakuni said to the best of kings, Dhritarashtra: 'O Kaurava, the cow-stations are now in beautiful places. The time has come for the counting and branding of the calves. And a hunt, O king, is fitting for your son at this time. You should give Duryodhana leave to go.'"
