वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic consolation: grief born of responsibility for one’s family is acknowledged, yet it should be steadied through wise counsel and supportive kinship—especially when decisive action and moral clarity are required in a time of crisis.
As the story is narrated by Vaiśampāyana to King Janamejaya, Kṛṣṇa (Śauri), Arjuna’s intimate friend, approaches Kuntī (Pṛthā), his paternal aunt, and reassures her as she mourns and worries intensely about her sons.
