Shloka 25
Abhimanyu’s Śrāddha; Vyāsa’s Assurance of the Unborn Heir (अभिमन्योः श्राद्धं तथा गर्भरक्षणोपदेशः)
दुःखार्ताथो सुतं प्राप्प कुररीव ननाद ह । द्रौपदी च समासाद्य पर्यपृच्छत दुःखिता
duḥkhārtātho sutaṃ prāpya kurarīvā nanāda ha | draupadī ca samāsādya paryapṛcchata duḥkhitā ||
ໄວສັມປາຍະນະ ກ່າວວ່າ: ນາງຖືກຄວາມໂສກເສົ້າບີບຄັ້ນ ໄດ້ໄປຮອດລູກຊາຍ ແລະຮ້ອງໄຫ້ດັ່ງນົກກຸຣາຣີ. ຈາກນັ້ນ ດ້ວຍໃຈທຸກທ້ອນ ນາງເຂົ້າໄປຫາ ດຣົບປະດີ ແລະຖາມໄຖ່ ເພື່ອຮູ້ວ່າ ໃນທ່າມກາງພິບັດໃຫຍ່ນັ້ນ ເກີດຫຍັງຂຶ້ນ.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the natural force of grief and the ethical impulse to seek clarity and counsel in suffering: lament is human, but approaching a trusted person and asking what occurred is a step toward understanding and eventual steadiness.
A grieving woman reaches her son and wails loudly, compared to the piercing cry of a kurarī-bird. Still distressed, she then goes to Draupadī and questions her, indicating a moment of inquiry amid the broader post-conflict sorrow of the Ashvamedhika narrative.
