Translation
Vaiśampāyana said: Grieved both by separation from Dhanañjaya (Arjuna) and by the loss of their kingdom, the Pāṇḍavas were in distress. Then Bhīma, the mighty-armed, addressed Yudhiṣṭhira—framing their suffering not merely as personal sorrow, but as the moral and political consequence of dispossession and exile.
