1. You have told me from the beginning all about the birth of Dhritarastra’s one hundred sons, the result of the boon granted by the Rishi, but you have not told me (the particular of the birth) of the daughter.
2. O sinless one, you have said that over and above one hundred sons, there was another son, named Yuyutsu, born of a Vaishya woman and also a daughter by Gandhari. The daughter of the king of Gandhar would get one hundred sons.
3. O illustrious man, so said the great Rishi Vyasa of immeasurable effulgence. How do you then tell me that a daughter was born (over and above the hundred)?
4. The ball of flesh was divided by the great Rishi into only one hundred parts and the daughter of Subala (Gandhari) did not conceive at any other time.
5. How then was born Dussala? O Brahmana Rishi, tell me this; my curiosity is very great.
