वैशम्पायन उवाच सा शोकार्ता च हृष्टा च दृष्टवा गोविन्दमागतम् | नानाविधानि दु:खानि सर्वाण्येवान्वकीर्तयत्,वैशम्पायनजी कहते हैं--जनमेजय! श्रीकृष्णको आया हुआ देख कुन्तीदेवी शोकातुर तथा आनन्दित हो अपने ऊपर आये हुए नाना प्रकारके सम्पूर्ण दुःखोंका पुनः वर्णन करने लगीं--
vaiśampāyana uvāca sā śokārtā ca hṛṣṭā ca dṛṣṭvā govindam āgatam | nānāvīdhāni duḥkhāni sarvāṇy evānvakīrtayat ||
قال فايشَمبايانا: لما رأت كُنتي قُدوم غوفيندا (شري كريشنا)، اجتمع عليها الحزن والفرح معًا، فأخذت تَسرد من جديد شتّى صنوف الآلام التي نزلت بها كلّها.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights a dharmic psychology: in times of crisis, truthful narration of suffering becomes an ethical appeal to a capable protector. Kuntī’s mixed grief and joy shows that hope in righteous agency (Govinda’s arrival) can coexist with deep pain, and that moral action is often prompted by compassionate hearing.
As Kṛṣṇa (Govinda) arrives, Kuntī sees him and is simultaneously overwhelmed by past grief and encouraged by his presence. She begins to recount the many hardships she has endured, setting the stage for counsel and intervention amid the escalating conflict between the Pāṇḍavas and the Kauravas.
