Transliteration
asyāstu vacanaṁ śrutvā sarvāstāḥ kuru-yoṣitaḥ
Translation
Vaiśampāyana said: Hearing her words, all the women of the Kuru lineage were overcome with grief; they seized her with both hands and, in deep distress, began to lament piteously—an image of communal sorrow and the moral aftermath that war leaves upon families.
