"Of those cast into confusion, drained of strength by the Pandavas, plunged into blind darkness -- what was your design then? How did light arise -- theirs, or in my own hosts -- O Sanjaya, in a world so enveloped in darkness?"

The blind king asks about light amid the dark, and his question is twofold. Dhritarashtra, sightless in body, asks how the warriors gained sight in the gloom; but behind it another question sounds, one he himself does not grasp -- how to dispel the darkness into which he himself cast his line by indulging Duryodhana. It is telling that a blind man asks about light. The verse teaches that the thirst for light lives even in one who cannot see -- and often the one deprived of sight feels more keenly than others how much he lacks illumination.
