Vaishampayana said: "Having performed the funeral ablution for Pandu, the godlike great sages gathered and began to deliberate: 'Having abandoned kingdom and realm, that great ascetic came here to the ascetics, seeking refuge, in order to perform austerity; and he, entrusting to you here, as a pledge, his newborn sons and wives, King Pandu has departed to heaven.' They, having consulted together, devoted to the welfare of all beings, placing the sons of Pandu foremost, resolved to go to the city of Hastinapura, to give the Pandavas over to Bhishma and Dhritarashtra; and at that very moment all the ascetics, taking Pandu's wives, sons, and his body, set out on the road."

Here the sages show fidelity to what was entrusted to them. Telling is the word "pledge" (upanidhi): Pandu entrusted them with his wives and children as a treasure for safekeeping, and they consider it their duty not to abandon the orphans but to deliver them to their rightful guardians. Here lies the sanctity of trust and the compassion of the righteous: saints withdrawn from the world do not turn away from helpless orphans, but, "devoted to the welfare of all beings," take upon themselves the labor of settling their fate. Telling too is that they carry Pandu's very body — so that the funeral rites might be performed with dignity, within the family. Thus scripture shows that true holiness is not indifferent but actively merciful, and that what is entrusted to the righteous is safely kept.
