O King, your uncle Dhṛtarāṣṭra, his brother Vidura and his wife Gāndhārī have gone to the southern side of the Himālaya Mountains, where there are shelters of the great sages.

To pacify the mourning Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira, Nārada first of all spoke from the philosophical point of view, and then he began to describe the future movements of his uncle, which he could see by his foreseeing powers, and thus began to describe as follows.

— A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
Dhṛtarāṣtṛa, with his wife Gāndhārī, and Vidura, has gone to a hermitage of sages on the south side of the Himālayas.
Commentary

Having dispelled his lamentation, he now tells the actual facts to the inquisitive Yudhiṣṭhira in six verses. Dakṣiṇena means “in the southern direction.”
