Adhyāya 62: Marutta’s Treasure and the Pāṇḍavas’ Auspicious Departure (मरुत्तस्य धनप्राप्त्युपक्रमः)
अतीव दुःखसंतप्ता न शमं चोपलेभिरे | तथैव पाण्डवा वीरा नगरे नागसाह्वये
atīva duḥkha-santaptā na śamaṃ copalebhire | tathaiva pāṇḍavā vīrā nagare nāga-sāhvaye ||
অতিশয় দুখে দগ্ধ হৈ তেওঁলোকে শম লাভ নকৰিলে; তেনেদৰে নাগসাহ্বয় নগৰত পাণ্ডৱ বীৰসকলেও মনৰ শান্তি নাপালে।

The verse highlights that intense grief can eclipse inner peace even for virtuous heroes; ethical victory does not automatically heal psychological wounds, underscoring the human cost that follows violence and loss.
Vaiśampāyana describes a state of deep sorrow in which peace cannot be found, and notes that the heroic Pāṇḍavas likewise remained without calm in Nāgasāhvaya (Hastināpura), indicating a troubled aftermath in the capital.
