कि नु मां मन्यसे पार्थ सुखिनीति परंतप । एवं दुःखशताविष्टा युधिष्ठिरनिमित्तत:,कुन्तीनन्दन! शत्रुदमन! क्या तुम समझते हो, यह सब देखकर मैं सुखी हूँ। राजा युधिष्ठिरके कारण ऐसे सैकड़ों दुःख मुझे सदा घेरे रहते हैं
ki nu māṁ manyase pārtha sukhinīti parantapa | evaṁ duḥkhaśatāviṣṭā yudhiṣṭhira-nimittataḥ ||
「おおパールタよ、敵を焼き尽くす者よ――お前は本当に、私が幸せだと思うのか。ユディシュティラのゆえに、私は幾百もの憂いに絶えず取り囲まれている。」

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the hidden weight of dharma and responsibility: outward endurance can conceal deep inner suffering. It also points to how the fate and duties of a righteous leader (Yudhiṣṭhira) can become the cause of prolonged hardship for those bound to him by family and duty.
In the Virāṭa Parva context, the speaker expresses that she is not truly happy despite appearances; she is continually afflicted by many sorrows arising from Yudhiṣṭhira’s situation and the Pāṇḍavas’ difficult circumstances during their concealment/exile.
