Purport
Narda Muni's foretelling prohibited Yudhisthir Maharaj to go there at the place where his uncle was staying because even after quiting the body by his own mystic power Dhritarastra wont be in need of any funeral ceremony because the indicaton told by Narada Muni was that his body by itself would burn into ashes without any extraneous effort by any one of his relative. Perfection of Yoga system is attained by such mystic power : the yogi is able to quit his body by his own choice of time and can attain any planet he desires by turning the present body into ashes by self made fire.
