Shloka 62
तव पुत्रे गते स्वर्ग शोकार्तस्यथ ममानघ । ऋषिदत्तं प्रणष्टं तद् दिव्यदर्शित्वमद्य वै,निष्पाप नरेश! आपके पुत्रके स्वर्गलोकमें चले जानेसे मैं शोकसे आतुर हो गया हूँ और महर्षि व्यासजीकी दी हुई मेरी वह दिव्य दृष्टि भी अब नष्ट हो गयी है
sañjaya uvāca | tava putre gate svargaṃ śokārtasyātha mām anagha | ṛṣidattaṃ praṇaṣṭaṃ tad divyadarśitvam adya vai ||
Санджая сказал: «Когда твой сын отошёл на небеса, я был охвачен горем, о безупречный. И ныне, воистину, исчезло то божественное зрение, дарованное мне мудрецом».

Even extraordinary powers granted for a purpose are impermanent; when the destined narrative closes—here, the fall and ‘heavenward departure’ of the king’s son—Sanjaya’s divinely granted vision ceases, underscoring the limits of human agency and the inevitability of karmic outcomes.
After reporting the catastrophic end of the Kuru war’s final violence, Sanjaya tells the blind king that with the king’s son having gone to heaven, Sanjaya is overcome by sorrow and the supernatural ‘divine sight’ given by the sage (Vyasa) to narrate events has now disappeared.
