Śoka-śamana: Kṛṣṇa’s Consolation and Nārada’s Exempla to Sṛñjaya
Chapter 29
संग्राममें शोभा पानेवाले वे सभी शूरवीर शत्रुका सामना करते हुए पराजित हुए हैं। उनमेंसे कोई भी पीठपर चोट खाकर या भागता हुआ नहीं मारा गया है ।।
sarve tyaktvātmanāḥ prāṇān yuddhvā vīrā mahāmṛdhe | śastrapūtā divaṃ prāptā na tān śocitum arhasi ||
ພະວາຍຸເທວະກ່າວວ່າ: «ວີລະຊົນເຫຼົ່ານັ້ນຜູ້ງາມສະຫງ່າໃນສົງຄາມ ໄດ້ຫັນໜ້າສູ້ສັດຕູແລະລົ້ມລົງຢ່າງວີລະບຸລຸດ. ບໍ່ມີໃຜຖືກຟັນຈາກດ້ານຫຼັງ ຫຼືຕາຍໃນຍາມຫນີ. ວີລະຊົນທັງໝົດໄດ້ສູ້ໃນມະຫາສົງຄາມ ສະຫຼະຊີວິດຂອງຕົນ ແລະຖືກຊຳລະໃຫ້ບໍລິສຸດໂດຍອາວຸດ ຈຶ່ງໄດ້ໄປສູ່ສະຫວັນ; ດັ່ງນັ້ນ ພະອົງບໍ່ຄວນໂສກເສົ້າເພື່ອເຂົາເຈົ້າ».
वायुदेव उवाच
Grief is inappropriate for warriors who died facing the enemy in righteous combat: by fulfilling kṣatriya-dharma and giving up life in battle, they are regarded as ‘purified’ and as attaining heaven; the listener is urged to replace lamentation with dharmic understanding.
Vāyudeva addresses a mourner after a great battle, emphasizing that the fallen heroes were not killed while fleeing or struck from behind; they fought directly, relinquished their lives in the thick of combat, and thus are portrayed as having reached the celestial realm.
