Thus (ends) the fourteenth chapter, called the Description of the Mahābhārata, in the Āgneya, the first great Purāṇa. Now the fifteenth chapter: the Description of the Deeds of the Pāṇḍavas. Agni said: When Yudhiṣṭhira was established in the kingdom, Dhṛtarāṣṭra went from stage of life to stage of life, into the forest, and so did Gāndhārī and Pṛthā, O twice-born one.
