Maharaj Yudhisthir was the most pious king because he practised personally daily the pious duty for the householders. The householders are required to rise early in the morning and after cleanliness, should offer respects to the deities at home by prayers, by offering fuel in the sacred fire, by giving in charity the Brahmins land, cow, grains and gold etc and at last offering to the elderly members due respects and obeisances. Unless one is prepared to practise things which are prescribed in the Shastras nobody can be good man simply by book knowledge. Modern householders are practised to different modes of life namely to rise late and then take bed-tea without any sort of cleanliness and without any purificatory practices as mentioned above. The household children are taken to practice the same thing in which the parents are already practised and therefore the whole generation is gliding towards hell and no good things can be expected from them unless they associate with Sadhus. Like Dhritarastra the materialistic person, one may take lessons from a Sadhu like Vidura and thus be cleansed of the effects of modern life.
#$p#Maharaj Yudhisthir, however, could not find in the palace the two uncles namely Dhritarastra and Vidura along with Gandhari the daughter of king Subala. He was anxious to see them and, therefore, asked Sanjaya the private secretary of Dhritarastra as follows:-
