Mahabharata 11.1.73 — Stree Parva, Adhyaya 1, Shloka 73
स्त्रीपर्व १: धृतराष्ट्रशोकः संजयाश्वासनं च
Strī Parva 1: Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Lament and Saṃjaya’s Consolation
सहैव तव पुत्रेण सर्वे वै निधनं गता: । “इस समय यह पृथ्वी निर्जन होकर केवल सूनी-सी दिखायी देती है। नाना देशोंके नरेश विभिन्न दिशाओंसे आकर आपके पुत्रके साथ ही सब-के-सब कालके गालमें चले गये हैं
sahaiva tava putreṇa sarve vai nidhanaṁ gatāḥ |
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは言った。「汝の子とともに、彼らは皆、まこと死へと赴いた。」この言葉は戦がもたらした破滅の全体を示す。王子のみならず、彼に与した諸国の王たちと武人たちもまた、時（カーラ Kāla）に呑まれ、世界は空しく、アダルマの帰結と滅びの野望によってダルマの心は揺さぶられたのである。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the inevitability of death and the sweeping consequences of unrighteous conflict: when adharma drives leadership, not only the leader but many who follow are destroyed, as all are ultimately subject to Kāla (Time).
Vaiśaṃpāyana reports the aftermath of the Kurukṣetra war, stating that together with the addressed person’s son, all the allied warriors and kings have perished—setting the tone for the lamentation and moral reckoning central to the Strī Parva.
