अतदर्हा महाभागा भगीरथसुतानघा । या त्वामजीजनन्मन्दं युद्धकामुकमातुरम्‌,“यद्यपि वे महाभागा भगीरथपुत्री पापहीना गंगा यह दुःख देखनेके योग्य नहीं हैं, तथापि जिन्होंने तुम-जैसे युद्धकामी, आतुर एवं मूर्ख पुत्रको जन्म दिया है, उन्हें यह कष्ट भोगना ही पड़ेगा

Educational Q&A

Uncontrolled craving for war and rashness bring suffering not only upon oneself but also upon the innocent; even a blameless person may be forced to endure pain due to the actions and choices of those connected to them.

Bhishma addresses a war-eager prince, lamenting that the pure and noble Ganga does not deserve such grief, yet must endure it because she bore a son driven by impatience and fascination with battle.
