Vaiśampāyana said: Having thus lamented piteously, the ascetic lady Uttarā—almost maddened by grief—collapsed upon the earth, wretched and consumed by longing for her child’s life. The scene frames maternal love as a powerful moral force, and prepares the ground for divine compassion to restore what violence and fate have taken.
