Yudhishthira said The lady, who had reared us from our infancy, with whom fasts and devotion are habits and who is ever attached to propitiatory rites and ceremonics, who is attached to the worship of the Gods and the guest and the due service of her elder, who is fond of her sons and bearing great affection for them and who, OJanardana, are dear to us, who has saved us from the wickedness of Suyodhana, O grinder of enemies, like a boat (saving the ship wracked) from the great and terrific death in the sea and by whom troubles have often been encountered, O Madhava, for our sake, though she herself is not desiring it, should be interrogated regarding her welfare.
