Uttarā-vilāpaḥ and Kṛṣṇasya satya-vacanenābhi-mañyu-jasyābhijīvanam
Uttarā’s Lament and the Revival of Abhimanyu’s Son by Krishna’s Truth-Act
सुसंवीताभवद् देवी देववत् कृष्णमीयुषी । सा तथा दूयमानेन हृदयेन तपस्विनी
susaṃvītābhavad devī devavat kṛṣṇam īyuṣī | sā tathā dūyamānena hṛdayena tapasvinī ||
ವೈಶಂಪಾಯನನು ಹೇಳಿದನು— ದೇವಿಯಂತೆ ಸುಸಂವೀತಳಾಗಿ, ದೇವತೆಯಂತೆ ಪ್ರಕಾಶಿಸುತ್ತಾ ಅವಳು ಕೃಷ್ಣನ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಹೋದಳು; ಆದರೂ ತಪಸ್ವಿನೀ ಸ್ವಭಾವದ ಆಕೆ ಹೃದಯದಲ್ಲಿ ದುಃಖದಿಂದ ದಹಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದಳು.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical tension between outward dignity and inward suffering: even a disciplined, ascetic-minded person may be overwhelmed by grief, and in such moments seeking the presence of a wise guide (here, Kṛṣṇa) becomes a dharmic response.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that a noble lady, appearing radiant and properly attired, goes to meet Kṛṣṇa; despite her composed exterior, she is inwardly distressed, her heart burning with sorrow.
