Avec beaucoup de tact, Sañjaya fait comprendre à Dhṛtarāṣṭra que sa politique visant à tromper les fils de Pāṇḍu pour installer sur le trône ses propres fils est malavisée et fort peu louable. Certains signes indiquent d’ailleurs que la dynastie des Kurus sera décimée au cours de cette grande bataille. Les combattants sont tous condamnés, de Bhīṣma, l’aïeul, jusqu’à ses petits-fils comme Abhimanyu, et d’autres encore comme les rois des nombreux États du monde. Pour avoir encouragé la conduite de ses fils, le roi Dhṛtarāṣṭra est responsable de la catastrophe à venir.

Sañjaya informed King Dhṛtarāṣṭra very tactfully that his unwise policy of deceiving the sons of Pāṇḍu and endeavoring to enthrone his own sons on the seat of the kingdom was not very laudable. The signs already clearly indicated that the whole Kuru dynasty would be killed in that great battle. Beginning with the grandsire, Bhīṣma, down to the grandsons like Abhimanyu and others – including kings from many states of the world – all were present there, and all were doomed. The whole catastrophe was due to King Dhṛtarāṣṭra, because he encouraged the policy followed by his sons.
