କୃପ ଓ ଭୋଜ (କୃତବର୍ମା) ସହ ଦ୍ରୋଣପୁତ୍ର ଅଶ୍ୱତ୍ଥାମା ଯୁଦ୍ଧରୁ ଜୀବନ୍ତ ମୁକ୍ତ ହେଲା। ଏବଂ କୌରବବଂଶୀ ଯୁୟୁତ୍ସୁ ମଧ୍ୟ ପାଣ୍ଡବମାନଙ୍କ ଆଶ୍ରୟ ନେଇଥିବାରୁ ରକ୍ଷା ପାଇଲା।

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights that in the aftermath of adharma-filled conflict, one’s fate can hinge on moral alignment and chosen refuge: Yuyutsu is spared not by birth-status as a Kaurava, but because he sought the Pāṇḍavas’ protection—implying that ethical choice and right association can outweigh mere lineage.
Kṛṣṇa (Vāsudeva) recounts who remained alive after the great war: Aśvatthāman survived along with Kṛpācārya and Kṛtavarman, and Yuyutsu—though a Kaurava—was saved because he had taken shelter with the Pāṇḍavas.
