Chapter 59: Baladeva’s Censure, Keśava’s Restraint, and Yudhiṣṭhira’s Moral Accounting
तात मन्युर्न ते कार्यो नात्मा शोच्यस्त्वया तथा । नून॑ पूर्वकृतं कर्म सुघोरमनुभूयते,“तात! तुम्हें खेद या क्रोध नहीं करना चाहिये। साथ ही अपने लिये शोक करना भी उचित नहीं है। निश्चय ही सब लोग अपने पहलेके किये हुए अत्यन्त भयंकर कर्मोंका ही परिणाम भोगते हैं
tāta manyur na te kāryo nātmā śocyas tvayā tathā | nūnaṁ pūrvakṛtaṁ karma sughoram anubhūyate ||
សញ្ជ័យបាននិយាយថា៖ «កូនអើយ! អ្នកមិនគួរឲ្យខ្លួនឯងធ្លាក់ចូលក្នុងកំហឹង ឬសោកស្តាយឡើយ; ហើយក៏មិនសមឲ្យអ្នកយំសោកសម្រាប់ខ្លួនឯងដែរ។ ពិតប្រាកដណាស់ អ្វីដែលកំពុងទទួលរងនៅពេលនេះ គឺជាផលវិបាកនៃកម្មដែលបានធ្វើមុនៗ—គួរឲ្យរន្ធត់យ៉ាងខ្លាំងក្នុងលទ្ធផលរបស់វា»។

Educational Q&A
One should restrain anger and self-pity, recognizing that present suffering is the maturation of prior actions (karma). The verse frames endurance and composure as ethically appropriate responses amid calamity.
In the Shalya Parva war context, Sanjaya addresses someone younger as “tāta,” counseling them not to succumb to rage or grief and interpreting the harsh events being faced as the inevitable consequence of earlier deeds.
