Shloka 22
मया भवतु निर्वत्तं वैरमादित्यनन्दन । पृथिव्यां सर्वराजानो भवन्त्वद्य निरामया:,'सूर्यनन्दन! मेरी मृत्युके द्वारा ही यह वैरकी आग बुझ जाय और भूमण्डलके समस्त नरेश अब दुःख-शोकसे रहित एवं निर्भय हो जाये
sañjaya uvāca | mayā bhavatu nirvṛttaṃ vairaṃ ādityanandana | pṛthivyāṃ sarvarājāno bhavantv adya nirāmayāḥ ||
Санджая сказал: «О радость солнечного рода, пусть эта вражда завершится через меня. Да станут все цари на земле, с этого дня, свободны от страданий — избавлены от скорби и страха».

Educational Q&A
The verse voices an ethical longing to end a destructive feud even at personal cost: the speaker wishes that hostility cease “through me,” so that rulers and the world may become free from suffering. It highlights the ideal that peace and the welfare of many outweigh the continuation of vengeance.
In the midst of the war context, Sañjaya reports a plea addressed to a Solar-line hero (“Ādityanandana”): the speaker expresses readiness to be the means by which the feud is extinguished, praying that all kings on earth may, from that day, be free from distress, grief, and fear.
