पृष्ठभागोऽयं यन्त्रेण केनचित् काले काले मार्जयित्वा यथास्रोतः परिवर्तयिष्यते। तेन मा भूदत्र शोधनसम्भ्रमः। सज्जनैः मूलमेव शोध्यताम्।

AKṚTAŚRAMA : He is one of the few sannyāsins who have gone to heaven after completing the fourth āśrama of life namely, Sannyāsa. The Kaurava-Pāṇḍava battle was over. As the eldest, Dharmaputra performed obsequies to all those of his kith and kin dead in the war. He was then met by many sages including Vyāsa and Nārada who comforted him in his bereavement. When Dharmaputra later met Bhīṣma the latter among many other stories told him the story of Akṛtaśrama also. (Śloka 17, Chapter 244, Śānti Parva, M.B.).
