Vaishampayana said: 'Then the blessed rishi Vyasa, son of Satyavati, the foremost among the knowers of all the Vedas, closely observed the morning and evening twilights. The holy sage, who saw directly what would come to pass in the terrible battle of the Bharatas, and who knew the past, the present, and the future, spoke this in private to King Dhritarashtra, son of Vichitravirya, who at that time was grieving, suffering, and brooding over the misfortune of his sons.'
