[Dhritarashtra:] "Covering his face with a garment, the son of Kunti, Yudhishthira, goes; spreading his arms wide, Bhima the Pandava goes. Scattering sand, Savyasachi follows the king; the son of Madri, Sahadeva, goes, his face smeared over. Nakula, his whole body smeared with dust, his heart in turmoil, most handsome in the world, follows the king. Krishna, covering her face with her hair, long-eyed and beautiful, weeping, follows the king. And Dhaumya sings the terrible samans of Yama along the roads, O lord of the people, holding kusha grass in his hand. Having taken on various forms, the Pandavas go; tell me, Vidura, why do they proceed thus?"

Those departing speak without words -- through their very movements: each gesture is a script of the future, legible to the initiated. Thus the silence of the righteous, denied speech in the assembly, finds another tongue -- the tongue of omen, intelligible to the wise. The blind king sees the signs but does not understand them, and needs an interpreter; so Vidura, sighted in understanding, will become the eyes of the sightless. The verse teaches that there is a speech surpassing words -- the speech of deed and form, by which fate announces itself in advance; that those suppressed by silence, being righteous, still declare their resolve through their very bearing; and that omens are not accidental but require interpretation, so that the forewarned may understand and be made afraid.
