Shloka 34
अध्याय ९ — दुर्योधनस्य अन्त्यावस्था, विलापः, तथा सौप्तिक-प्रतिवृत्तम्
Duryodhana’s Final Condition, Lamentation, and the Night’s Report
धिगस्तु कृतवर्माणं मां कृपं च महारथम्
dhig astu kṛtavarmāṇaṁ māṁ kṛpaṁ ca mahāratham
Dijo Sañjaya: «¡Vergüenza para Kṛtavarmā—y también para mí—y para Kṛpa, ese gran guerrero de carro!» En este estremecimiento moral, el hablante condena a los perpetradores (y a sí mismo) por un acto tenido por innoble según el código del guerrero, un juicio ético tajante en la estela de la violencia nocturna.

Educational Q&A
Even in war, actions can be judged against dharma; this line voices moral condemnation and self-implication, highlighting accountability and the sense that certain deeds—especially those seen as treacherous or ignoble—bring disgrace.
During the Sauptika Parva’s aftermath of the night events, Sañjaya reports a reaction of censure: he denounces Kṛtavarmā and Kṛpa and includes himself in the blame, signaling that what occurred is viewed as shameful despite the wartime setting.
