Transliteration
utthāpya yājñasenīṁ tu rudatīṁ śokakarśitām | tayaiva sahitā cāpi putrair anugatā nṛpa ||
Translation
Vaiśampāyana said: Having lifted up Yājñasenī—who was weeping and wasted by grief—the king, accompanied by her, proceeded onward, followed as well by her sons. The scene underscores the duty of kin and rulers to support the afflicted, even amid the aftermath of war’s devastation.
