Śoka-śamana: Kṛṣṇa’s Consolation and Nārada’s Exempla to Sṛñjaya
Chapter 29
Devanagari script
वायुदेव उवाच मा कृथा: पुरुषव्याप्र शोकं त्वं गात्रशोषणम् । नहि ते सुलभा भूयो ये हतास्मिन् रणाजिरे,भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण बोले--पुरुषसिंह! तुम शोक न करो। शोक तो शरीरको सुखा देनेवाला होता है। इस समरांगणमें जो वीर मारे गये हैं, वे फिर सहज ही मिल सकें, यह सम्भव नहीं है
Translation
Vāyu said: “O mighty man, do not give yourself to grief. Grief dries up the limbs and wastes the body. Those heroes who were slain on this battlefield cannot be found again with ease; it is not possible for them to return.”
