Shloka 11
अौर्ध्वदेहिक-श्राद्धे दानयज्ञविस्तारः | Expansion of the Aurdhvadehika Śrāddha and the Donation-Rite
परं निर्वेदमगमंश्रिन्तयन्तो नराधिपम् | तं च ज्ञातिवधं घोरं संस्मरन्त: पुनः पुन:,राजा धृतराष्ट्रको याद करके वे अत्यन्त खिन्न एवं विरक्त हो उठते थे। भाई-बन्धुओंके उस भयंकर वधका उन्हें बारंबार स्मरण हो आता था
vaiśampāyana uvāca | paraṃ nirvedam agamaṃś cintayanto narādhipam | taṃ ca jñātivadhaṃ ghoraṃ saṃsmarantaḥ punaḥ punaḥ ||
Disse Vaiśampāyana: Ao refletirem sobre o rei, eram tomados por profundo desencanto e tristeza. Vez após vez, sua mente retornava ao terrível massacre de seus próprios parentes.
