एवं सम्भाषमाणास्ते निन्दन्तश्न पुरोचनम् । विविशुर्हास्तिनपुरं दीना विगतचेतस:,इस प्रकार परस्पर बातें करते और पुरोचनको कोसते हुए वे सब कौरव दुःखी होकर हस्तिनापुरमें पहुँचे। (पाण्डवोंकी) सफलता देखकर, उनका चित्त ठिकाने न रहा
evaṃ sambhāṣamāṇās te nindantaś ca purocanam | viviśur hāstinapuraṃ dīnā vigatacetasaḥ ||
Assim, conversando entre si e condenando Purocana, entraram em Hāstināpura, abatidos e com o espírito perturbado. Ao verem o êxito dos Pāṇḍavas, sua compostura já não se manteve firme.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Schemes rooted in adharma breed fear and mental unrest; when wrongdoing fails, the wrongdoers lose composure and seek someone to blame, revealing the ethical cost of deceit.
After discussing events among themselves, the group condemns Purocana and returns to Hāstinapura in distress, shaken by the Pāṇḍavas’ successful escape and survival.
