सुखिनी सा पुरा भूत्वा सततं पुत्रवत्सला ॥
प्रपन्ना दीर्घम् अध्वानं संक्षिप्तं तद् अमन्यत ॥

"She, who had once been happy, always tender toward her sons, having set out on the long road, considered it short. In no long time the glorious one reached Kurujangala and approached the gates of the city of Vardhamana. Hearing then of the arrival of thousands of charanas and munis, amazement arose among the people in Hastinapura."

Here appear both Kunti's grief and the people's foreboding. Telling is that the long road seemed short to her: in the numbness of grief and the care for small children, time and distance lose their measure. This is a truthful trait of a grieving heart. Telling too is the amazement of the townspeople at the news of thousands of sages: the appearance of such a host of saints is an unprecedented event, a portent of something momentous. Thus scripture prepares the solemn meeting in which the orphaned sons of the gods will be presented to the city and delivered into the care of the house of Kuru.
