Janamejaya said : After his defeat and capture by the enemy and his subsequent liberation by the highsouled sons of Pandu by their prowess of arms, it seems to me that the entry of the proud, wicked, boastful, vicious insolent and wretched Duryodhana, ever engaged in insulting the Pandavas and boastful of his own superiority into Hastinapur must have been exceedingly difficult. O Vaishampayana, describe to me in detail the entry into the capital of that prince, overwhelmed as he was then with shame and grief.
