शोकाकुल-युधिष्ठिरं प्रति कुन्त्याः कालोचितोपदेशः | Kuntī’s Timely Counsel to the Grief-Stricken Yudhiṣṭhira
शशाप च महातेजा: सर्वलोकेषु योषित: । न गुहां धारयिष्यन्तीत्येवं दुः:खसमन्वित:
śaśāpa ca mahātejāḥ sarvalokeṣu yoṣitaḥ | na guhāṃ dhārayiṣyantīty evaṃ duḥkhasamanvitaḥ ||
গভীৰ শোকত আচ্ছন্ন সেই মহাতেজস্বীয়ে সকলো লোকৰ নাৰীসকলক শাপ দিলে—“এতিয়াৰ পৰা তেওঁলোকে মনৰ ভিতৰত কোনো গোপন কথা লুকুৱাই ৰাখিব নোৱাৰিব।”

The verse underscores that grief can provoke harmful, sweeping judgments and ethically problematic speech; it implicitly points to the dharmic need for restraint (saṃyama) and careful speech even amid suffering.
Vaiśaṃpāyana narrates that a mighty figure, afflicted with intense sorrow, pronounces a curse directed at women everywhere, stating that they will be unable to keep secrets hidden.
