ຕໍ່ຈາກນັ້ນ ໂອ ເທວີ! ໃນສົງຄາມຈະເກີດການທຳລາຍຂອງພາລະນັ້ນ—ເປັນການສິ້ນສຸດນ້ຳໜັກອັນກົດທັບທີ່ແຜ່ນດິນແບກຮັບ ໂດຍການກຳຈັດກຳລັງທີ່ເຮັດໃຫ້ສົງຄາມເປັນສິ່ງຫຼີກບໍ່ພົ້ນ. ວະຍາສະບໍ່ໄດ້ວາງການນອງເລືອດນີ້ເປັນແຕ່ຊະນະພາບ ແຕ່ເປັນການຖອນພາລະອັນທົນບໍ່ໄດ້ຕາມຊະຕາກຳ ທີ່ມີຄວາມຕຶງຕັນທາງທຳລະຫວ່າງຄວາມຈຳເປັນແລະໂສກນາດຕະກຳ.
व्यास उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse presents war’s outcome as the removal of a cosmic and moral ‘burden’ rather than a celebratory triumph. It highlights the Mahābhārata’s ethical tension: even when destruction is portrayed as necessary for restoring order, it remains grievous and weighty.
Vyāsa addresses a goddess and foretells that, in the coming battle, the ‘burden’ will be destroyed—implying the elimination of those whose presence has become an intolerable weight on the world, culminating in a decisive, catastrophic conflict.
