Kuntī’s Retrospective Uddharṣaṇa and Renunciatory Resolve (कुन्त्युद्धर्षण-प्रत्याख्यानम्)
अनन्तरं च राजानं भीमसेनमथार्जुनम् । नकुलं च पृथा दृष्टवा त्वरमाणोपचक्रमे
anantaraṃ ca rājānaṃ bhīmasenam athārjunam | nakulaṃ ca pṛthā dṛṣṭvā tvaramāṇopacakrame ||
Alors Pṛthā (Kuntī), voyant le roi Yudhiṣṭhira, Bhīmasena, Arjuna et Nakula, se hâta vers eux. La scène met en relief l’élan pressant de l’amour maternel et la réunion des siens après les épreuves, où l’amour et le devoir se révèlent au cœur de l’austérité des jours à venir.

Educational Q&A
Even after immense conflict and loss, dharma is sustained through human bonds—especially compassion and familial responsibility. Kuntī’s haste reflects the ethical weight of care and reconciliation in the later, renunciatory phase of life.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Kuntī, upon seeing Yudhiṣṭhira along with Bhīma, Arjuna, and Nakula, quickly moves toward them, marking an emotionally charged reunion within the Ashramavāsika setting.
