Book Fifteen: The Ashrama

The Pandavas rule the kingdom for fifteen year with the advice of 
Dhritarashtra.  Everyone treats Dhritarashtra and Gandhari as their
own.  As the years pass, the blind king becomes old. With his wife 
Gandhari and with Kunti, Vidur and Sanjay, he retires to the forest.
They all follow them into the forest.  There, Vyasa gives them a chance 
to see all their dead family. All the dead heros of the war arise and
meet with their family.  The Pandavas embrace Karna.  Suddenly as they 
came, they disappear.  The Pandavas return to Hastinapur.

Two more years pass.  One day the sage Narada visits Judhistir and tells
them all of how Dhritarashtra died along with the two queen in a forest
fire.  All the people of Hastinapur mourn.
