The verse highlights the moral and psychological consequence of war and wrongdoing: intense suffering can render even a powerful king speechless, showing how pride and conflict culminate in helpless grief.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Duryodhana, overwhelmed by severe pain and distress, becomes silent and is unable to continue speaking.
