Shloka 12
कपोती-विलापः स्वर्गसंयोगश्च
The Dove’s Lament and Celestial Reunion
नैव तस्य सुद्गत् वश्रिन्न सम्बन्धी न बान्धवा: । स हि तैः सम्परित्यक्तस्तेन रौद्रेण कर्मणा,उसके न कोई सुहृद, न सम्बन्धी और न भाई-बन्धु ही थे। उसके भयानक क्रूर-कर्मके कारण सबने उसे त्याग दिया था
naiva tasya suhṛd vaśrinn sambandhī na bāndhavāḥ | sa hi taiḥ samparityaktas tena raudreṇa karmaṇā ||
Bhishma said: “Indeed, he had no well-wisher, no kinsman, and no relatives to stand by him. For because of that fierce and cruel course of action, he had been completely abandoned by them all.”
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Cruel and violent conduct (raudra karma) destroys social and moral support: even friends and family withdraw, showing how adharma isolates a person and brings consequences through loss of trust and relationship.
Bhishma describes a person whose harsh deeds have made him socially deserted—he has no well-wishers or relatives left, because everyone has renounced association with him due to his terrible actions.
