Yudhiṣṭhira’s Lament for Karṇa and Renunciation-Oriented Self-Assessment (शोक-प्रलापः / त्याग-प्रवृत्तिः)
Devanagari script
त्रैलोक्यस्यापि राज्येन नास्मान् वक्ित् प्रहर्षयेत् । बान्धवान् निहतान् दृष्टवा पृथिव्यां विजयैषिण:
Translation
ਜਦੋਂ ਅਸੀਂ ਧਰਤੀ ਉੱਤੇ ਜਿੱਤ ਦੀ ਇੱਛਾ ਰੱਖਣ ਵਾਲੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਹੀ ਸਗੇ-ਸੰਬੰਧੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਮਾਰੇ ਹੋਏ ਵੇਖ ਲਿਆ, ਤਾਂ ਹੁਣ ਤਿੰਨਾਂ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦਾ ਰਾਜ ਵੀ ਦੇ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਜਾਵੇ, ਕੋਈ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਪ੍ਰਸੰਨ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰ ਸਕਦਾ।
