ဝိုင်ရှမ္ပါယနက ပြောသည်– «ဓမ္မ၏ သားတော် မင်းယုဓိဋ္ဌိရကို သင်က သင့်တော်စွာ ကြိုဆိုဂုဏ်ပြုခဲ့သလော။ ထို့ပြင် ဘီမ၊ အာర్జုန နှင့် ယမ၏ အမွှာသားများ—နကူလ၊ သဟဒေဝ—တို့ကိုလည်း စိတ်အားတင်းစေမည့် စကားဖြင့် နှစ်သိမ့်ပေးခဲ့သလော?»

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic social conduct in times of sorrow: honoring rightful authority (Yudhiṣṭhira as king) and offering emotional reassurance to those burdened by grief. Ethical leadership and kinship duty include both formal respect and compassionate consolation.
Vaiśampāyana reports a concerned inquiry: someone is being asked whether they have properly greeted King Yudhiṣṭhira and whether they have also comforted the other Pāṇḍava brothers—Bhīma, Arjuna, and the twins Nakula and Sahadeva—indicating a context of distress where reassurance is needed.
