Sanskrit Original
धृतराष्ट्र उवाच चातुर्मास्यैर्ये यजन्ते जनाः सदा तथेष्टीनां दशशतं प्राप्नुवन्ति। ये चाग्निहोत्रं जुह्वति श्रद्दधाना यथाम्नायं त्रीणि वर्षाणि विप्राः॥ सुधारिणां धर्मधुरे महात्मनां यथोदिते वर्त्मनि सुस्थितानाम्। धर्मात्मनामुद्वहतां गतिं तां परं गन्ता धृतराष्ट्रो न तत्र॥
Dhritarashtra said Those men who adore the celestials by observing the vow called Chaturmasya, who perform a hundred and ten sacrifices, who pour libations every day on their sacred fire with devotion and faith for three years according to the ordinances declared in the Vedas, who perform without hesitation of all duties, who walk steadily along the way trod by the pious, who steadily sustain the course of conduct followed by the righteousshould, only they go to such region, I shall go to a higher region. Indeed, Dhritarashtra shall not go there.
