The moment arrives — the Pandavas must leave Hastinapur, but their hearts are heavy. Kunti and Bhishma stay behind, and tears mark the farewell.
Before their departure, Kunti blesses Draupadi, entrusting her with the sacred responsibility of guiding her sons. She commands the Pandavas to always follow Yudhishthir, the eldest, in dharma and decision.
As the Pandavas walk toward Khandavprastha, hundreds from Hastinapur follow them, choosing truth over power, and righteousness over comfort.
