Vaishampayana said: "Having spoken thus, Vyasa departed, and Maitreya appeared. The king and his son received him with honor; having performed all the rites beginning with the offering of arghya, and having let the foremost of sages rest, Dhritarashtra, son of Ambika, humbly asked: 'Was your arrival in Kurujangala comfortable, O lord? Are the heroic five Pandava brothers well? Do these bulls among men wish to keep the agreed term? Will the brotherhood of the Kurus remain unbroken?'"
