ये चान्येडपि परिक्लेशा युष्माकं ज्ञातिकारिता: । संग्रामेष्वथ वान्यत्र न तान् संस्मर्तुमहसि,“तुम लोगोंको अपने भाई-बन्धुओंसे युद्धमें या अन्यत्र और भी जो कष्ट उठाने पड़े हैं, उन सबको यहाँ याद रखना तुम्हारे लिये उचित नहीं है

Vaiśaṃpāyana said: “And whatever other hardships you have endured—brought about through your own kinsmen—whether in battles or elsewhere, it is not fitting for you to recall them here.”

Educational Q&A
One should not cling to or rehearse past sufferings—especially those arising from conflicts among one’s own kin—when the ethical aim is to move beyond resentment and grief toward detachment and peace.
In the Svargārohaṇa context, the speaker advises the listeners not to dwell on the many pains they endured due to their own relatives, whether on the battlefield or in other circumstances, implying a transition from worldly grievance to a higher, reconciled perspective.
