Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Collapse and Vyāsa’s Counsel

गच्छ शीघ्र स्वकं स्थानं लोकान्‌ धारय शोभने । “देवि! इस प्रकार उस युद्धमें तेरे भारका नाश हो जायगा। शोभने! अब तू शीघ्र अपने स्थानपर जा और समस्त लोकोंको पूर्ववत्‌ धारण कर”

gaccha śīghra svakaṁ sthānaṁ lokān dhāraya śobhane |

ဗျာသက မိန့်ကြားသည်– “အို လှပသူမ၊ သင်၏ နေရာသို့ အမြန်ပြန်သွား၍ လောကတို့ကို ထိန်းသိမ်းလော့။ ဤသို့ဖြင့် ထိုစစ်ပွဲ၌ သင်၏ ဝန်ထုပ်ဝန်ပိုးသည် လျော့ပါးလိမ့်မည်။ ထို့ကြောင့် သင်၏ သင့်လျော်ရာ အနေအထားသို့ ချက်ချင်း ပြန်၍ ယခင်ကဲ့သို့ သတ္တဝါအားလုံးကို ထောက်ပံ့ထိန်းသိမ်းလော့” ဟု။

Educational Q&A

Even amid catastrophic war, dharma requires restoring and sustaining the cosmic and social order; one must return to one’s rightful role (svakaṁ sthānam) and uphold the worlds (lokān dhāraya) rather than remain entangled in destructive burden.

Vyāsa addresses a divine feminine figure (Devī), urging her to depart quickly to her own abode and resume her function of sustaining the worlds, indicating that by withdrawing from the war-context her burden connected with that conflict will be relieved.
