ໄວສັມປາຍະນະ ກ່າວວ່າ: “ເປັນຫຍັງເຈົ້າທັງສອງ ເຈົ້າຊາຍກົວຣະວະ ຈຶ່ງຈົມຢູ່ໃນຄວາມຫົວໃຈຕົກ ດັ່ງຄົນທົ່ວໄປຜູ້ຫຍາບຄາຍ ເພາະຄວາມໂງ່ເດັກນ້ອຍລ້ວນໆ?”
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse censures despair born of immaturity and urges a kṣatriya-like steadiness of mind: one should not collapse into grief like an untrained person, but meet circumstances with composure and discernment.
The narrator Vaiśampāyana reports a rebuke addressed to two Kaurava princes who have become downcast; the speaker questions their dejection and attributes it to childish folly, contrasting it with the expected firmness of noble lineage.
