Kirmīra-rākṣasa-saṃgamaḥ (Encounter and Slaying of Kirmīra) | किर्मीरेण सह भीमसेनसमागमः
निहतान् वल्लभान् वीक्ष्य शयानान् वसुधातले । यत् समर्थ पाण्डवानां तत् करिष्यामि मा शुच:,श्रीकृष्ण बोले--भाविनि! तुम जिनपर क्कुद्ध हुई हो, उनकी स्त्रियाँ भी अपने प्राणप्यारे पतियोंको अर्जुनके बाणोंसे छिन्न-भिन्न और खूनसे लथपथ हो मरकर धरतीपर पड़ा देख इसी प्रकार रोयेंगी। पाण्डवोंके हितके लिये जो कुछ भी सम्भव है, वह सब करूँगा, शोक न करो
nihatān vallabhān vīkṣya śayānān vasudhātale | yat samartha pāṇḍavānāṃ tat kariṣyāmi mā śucaḥ ||
Vāsudeva said: “Seeing your beloved ones slain, lying upon the ground, you grieve. Whatever lies within my power for the welfare of the Pāṇḍavas, that I shall do—do not sorrow.”
वासुदेव उवाच
Grief is acknowledged, yet one should not be overwhelmed by it; righteous resolve and timely support for dharmic allies (here, the Pāṇḍavas) is emphasized, with Kṛṣṇa assuring that he will do whatever is within his power.
Vāsudeva (Kṛṣṇa) addresses a grieving person who has seen beloved ones slain on the ground, and he consoles them by promising active assistance for the Pāṇḍavas’ welfare, urging them not to lament.
