Chapter 29
स चेन्ममार सूंजय चतुर्भद्रतरस्त्वया । पुत्रात् पुण्यतरश्वैव मा पुत्रमनुतप्यथा:
sa cen mamāra suñjaya caturbhadrataras tvayā | putrāt puṇyataras caiva mā putram anutapyathāḥ ||
ວາຍຸກ່າວວ່າ: “ໂອ ສຸນຈະຍະ, ຖ້າແມ່ນຜູ້ທີ່ມີຄຸນມົງຄຸນສີ່ປະການເຫນືອກວ່າເຈົ້າ ແລະຍັງມີບຸນຍິ່ງກວ່າບຸດຂອງເຈົ້າ ກໍຍັງຕ້ອງພົບຄວາມຕາຍ—ແລ້ວບຸດຂອງເຈົ້າຈະມີສິດພິເສດອັນໃດຕໍ່ຕ້ານມະຕະພາບ? ດັ່ງນັ້ນ ຢ່າໂສກເສົ້າເພື່ອບຸດຂອງເຈົ້າເລີຍ.”

Educational Q&A
Death is universal and does not spare even those who are more virtuous or more excellently endowed; therefore excessive grief is to be restrained, and one should cultivate steadiness and acceptance in accordance with dharma.
Vāyudeva addresses Suñjaya, reasoning with him to lessen his sorrow: if even superior and highly meritorious persons have died, Suñjaya should not be overwhelmed by grief for his own son.
