Vaiśampāyana uvāca: evam uktas tu rājendra keśihā duḥkhamūrcchitaḥ | tatheti vyājahāroccair nādayann iva taṃ janam ||
قال فايشامبايانا: يا أيها الملك، لما خوطِب على ذلك النحو، تكلّم كيشافا—قاتل كِشي (كريشنا)—وقد غمره الأسى، بصوتٍ عالٍ كأنه يُدوّي في الناس: «ليكن كذلك». وبهذا الوعد الراسخ أراد أن يواسي المكلومين، محوِّلًا الرحمة إلى نذرٍ للفعل وسط ما خلّفته الحرب من آثار.

Educational Q&A
Even the powerful are not immune to grief, yet dharma expresses itself through compassionate resolve: Kṛṣṇa’s public, firm assurance (“tathā”) models how one should respond to suffering—not with helplessness, but with consoling speech backed by committed action.
After being addressed (in context, by a grieving family member), Kṛṣṇa—called Keśihā—though himself overwhelmed by sorrow, speaks loudly to reassure the listeners, promising that what is sought will be accomplished, thereby calming the distressed and steadying the situation.
