And their tine, while thus engaged, seemed too long in passing, and performing the last rites for the bodies of Bhishma, Karna and other foremost Kauravas, they gave away large presents to Brahmanas. And then the foremost descendants of Kuru, again performed with Dhritarashtra the funeral rites, and having distributed profusc riches amongst the Brahmanas, the Pandava chief with Dhritarashtra in advance, entered the city of Hastinapur, and consoling his uncle, having eyes of wisdom, that virtuous prince continued to govern the earth with his brothers.
