Yudhishthira said: 'O Sanjaya, the righteous and the unrighteous, the young and the old, the weak and the strong — all stand under the control of the Creator. It is the Supreme Lord who, according to His own will, grants knowledge to a child and childishness to the learned. Should Dhritarashtra ask you of our strength, tell him everything truthfully, having joyfully taken counsel with all present here and ascertained the truth. O son of Gavalgana, when you return to the Kurus, greet mighty Dhritarashtra, and, having touched his feet, ask after his welfare, speaking in our name. And, seated among the Kurus, say to him from us: "The sons of Pandu, O king, live happily by your valor."'
