विदुरश्चापि तामार्तां कुन्तीमाश्वास्य हेतुभिः ।
प्रावेशयद्गृहं क्षत्ता स्वयमार्ततरः शनैः ॥ २.१०१.६२ ॥
Vidura too, consoling the distressed Kuntī with reasons, led her into the house slowly, though the steward himself was even more distressed.
2.101.63
धार्तराष्ट्रस्त्रिस्ताश्च निखिलेनोपलभ्य तत् ।
गमनं परिकर्षं च कृष्णाया द्यूतमण्डले ॥ २.१०१.६३ ॥

दध्युश्च सुचिरं कालं करासक्तमुखाम्बुजाः ॥ २.१०१.६४ ॥

ध्यायन्नुद्विग्नहृदयो न शान्तिमधिजग्मिवान् ॥ २.१०१.६५ ॥

स चिन्तयन्ननेकाग्रः शोकव्याकुलचेतनः ।
क्षत्तुः सम्प्रेषयामास शीघ्रमागम्यतामिति ॥ २.१०१.६६ ॥
Thinking without concentration, his mind agitated by grief, he sent word to the steward (Vidura): 'Let him come quickly.'
2.101.67
ततो जगाम विदुरो धृतराष्ट्रनिवेशनम् ।
तं पर्यपृच्छत्संविग्नो धृतराष्ट्रो जनाधिपः ॥ २.१०१.६७ ॥
Then Vidura went to the dwelling of Dhṛtarāṣṭra. Dhṛtarāṣṭra, lord of the people, agitated, questioned him.
