Shloka 27
विमृज्य नेत्रे पाणिभ्यां कृष्णं वचनमब्रवीत् । श्रीकृष्णमका कथन सुनकर धर्मराज युधिष्ठिरने दोनों हाथोंसे अपनी आँखें पोंछकर उनसे इस प्रकार कहा-- ।। विदिता मे महाबाहो धर्माणां परमा गति:
vimṛjya netre pāṇibhyāṃ kṛṣṇaṃ vacanam abravīt | viditā me mahābāho dharmāṇāṃ paramā gatiḥ ||
Sañjaya said: Wiping his eyes with both hands, he spoke to Kṛṣṇa: “O mighty-armed one, I understand the highest course and final refuge of dharma.”

Even amid overwhelming sorrow, one should return to clarity about dharma—its highest aim and guiding course—so that action is governed by righteousness rather than by uncontrolled emotion.
Sañjaya reports that Yudhiṣṭhira, after hearing Kṛṣṇa’s words, wipes away his tears and addresses Kṛṣṇa, declaring that he recognizes the supreme path/goal of dharma, signaling a shift from grief to resolved ethical deliberation.
