the five sons born to King Pandu, who was died of a curse, represent five
senses, Oh! Ambikasutha/Ambikeya, Oh! Dhritarashtra, these five sons of Pandu
have brought up by you and sent to achieve the greatest knowledge in Shastra and
usage of armaments, they are extremely grateful and sincerely follow your
command. Oh! Narendra, kindly gives away
the share of the Kingdom they deserve and live happily with them. Oh! Rajan, if
you do so, none will criticize or none of the Manushya or deities would blame
you.”
