Adhyaya 11 — Draupadī’s Grief, Demand for Justice, and Bhīma’s Departure
तमश्रुपरिपूर्णाक्ष॑ं वेपमानमचेतसम् । सुहृदो भृशसंविग्ना: सान्त्वयाज्चक्रिरे तदा,उनकी आँखें आँसुओंसे भर आयीं, शरीर काँपने लगा और चेतना लुप्त होने लगी। उनकी ऐसी अवस्था देख उनके सुहृद् अत्यन्त व्याकुल हो उस समय उन्हें सान्त्वना देने लगे
tam aśru-paripūrṇākṣaṃ vepamānam acetasaṃ | suhṛdo bhṛśa-saṃvignāḥ sāntvayāṃ cakrire tadā ||
その目はたちまち涙に満ち、身体は震え、意識は次第に薄れていった。かかる有様を見た親しい友と善意の人々は、深く胸を痛め、その時ただちに彼を慰めようとした。

Even amid the harsh logic of war, the epic foregrounds a dharmic response to suffering: when a person collapses under grief and shock, the immediate duty of those nearby is compassion—comforting, steadying, and restoring presence of mind.
A person (contextually, someone in the war’s aftermath) is overwhelmed—eyes brimming with tears, trembling, and losing awareness. His close companions, themselves deeply shaken, attempt to console him at that moment.
