Inauspicious Omens and Arjuna’s Return from Dvārakā
विलोक्योद्विग्नहृदयो विच्छायमनुजं नृप: । पृच्छति स्म सुहृन्मध्ये संस्मरन्नारदेरितम् ॥ २४ ॥
vilokyodvigna-hṛdayo vicchāyam anujaṁ nṛpaḥ pṛcchati sma suhṛn madhye saṁsmaran nāraderitam
ເມື່ອເຫັນອາຈຸນຜິວພອງດ້ວຍຄວາມກັງວົນໃນໃຈ ກະສັດໄດ້ລະລຶກເຖິງນິມິດທີ່ນາຣະດາລະບຸ ແລ້ວຖາມເຂົາທ່າມກາງມິດສະຫາຍ
This verse shows Yudhishthira noticing Arjuna’s loss of radiance and becoming anxious, recalling Nārada’s earlier words—an omen that points toward Lord Krishna’s departure from the world.
Because Arjuna’s unusual, joyless condition signaled a grave change; Yudhishthira remembered Nārada’s indication of impending events and therefore inquired publicly among trusted well-wishers.
Notice spiritual and emotional warning signs in yourself and others, and seek truthful counsel from well-wishers—especially when life’s support systems shift—while remembering guidance from saints and scripture.
