मृते स्वतनये राज्ञी शोकेन महतावृता । मूर्च्छिता चापतद्भूमौ गजभग्नेव वल्लरी
mṛte svatanaye rājñī śokena mahatāvṛtā | mūrcchitā cāpatadbhūmau gajabhagneva vallarī
Quand son propre fils fut mort, la reine, enveloppée d’un chagrin immense, s’évanouit et tomba à terre telle une liane brisée par un éléphant.

The Purāṇas acknowledge the full weight of human sorrow, preparing the mind to seek steadiness in dharma amid loss.
