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."

The subjects' love is not mere sentiment: they understand that living beside untruth slowly destroys a person. Their plea to follow the Pandavas is thus a wish to preserve a pure surrounding, a place where one can live without betraying conscience.
