Shloka 3136
मानुषत्वमनुप्राप्तो नैने शोचितुमरहसि । 'शोभने! ये महातेजस्वी वसु थे, वसिष्ठजीके शाप-दोषसे इन्हें मनुष्य-योनिमें आना पड़ा था। अतः इनके लिये शोक नहीं करना चाहिये
mānuṣatvam anuprāpto naine śocitum arhasi | śobhane ye mahātejasvī vasavaḥ te vasiṣṭhajī-śāpa-doṣeṇa manuṣya-yoniṃ prāptāḥ | ataḥ eteṣāṃ kṛte śoko na kartavyaḥ |
قال فايشَمبايانا: «وقد بلغوا الآن حالَ البشر، فلا ينبغي لك أن تحزني عليهم. أيتها الحسناء، إن أولئك الفاسو المتلألئين أُكرهوا على دخول الميلاد الإنساني بسبب ما ترتّب من خطأٍ جرّه لعنُ فاسيشثا. لذلك فالحزن عليهم غير لائق.»

Grief should be tempered by understanding causality (karma and śāpa): when suffering or an unwanted condition arises from a prior fault and its consequence, lamentation is portrayed as inappropriate; one should respond with discernment and acceptance aligned with dharma.
Vaiśampāyana consoles a woman addressed as “Śobhane,” explaining that the radiant Vasus have taken human birth because of Vasiṣṭha’s curse; since their human incarnation is a consequence of that curse, she is advised not to mourn for them.
