मी फार मोठ्या आपत्तीत सापडलो आहे, आणि तू तर माझ्याहूनही अधिक गंभीर संकटात आहेस. आपण दोघेही संकटग्रस्त आहोत; म्हणून आपल्यात त्वरित संधी व्हावी—विलंब नको.

Educational Q&A
When both sides are afflicted, dharma may favor timely reconciliation (sandhi) over prolonging hostility; delay only deepens harm.
Bhishma urges the other party to recognize their shared crisis and to conclude a settlement quickly, framing peace as a practical and ethical necessity in adversity.
