अध्याय ९ — दुर्योधनस्य अन्त्यावस्था, विलापः, तथा सौप्तिक-प्रतिवृत्तम्
Duryodhana’s Final Condition, Lamentation, and the Night’s Report
अविषदह्दोन दुःखेन ततस्ते रुरुदुस्त्रय: । राजाको इस प्रकार अयोग्य अवस्थामें सोया देख वे तीनों असहा दुःखसे पीड़ित हो रोने लगे
aviṣahya-duḥkhena tataḥ te ruruduḥ trayaḥ | rājānam evaṃ prakāram ayogya-avasthāyāṃ śayamānaṃ dṛṣṭvā te trayo 'sahya-duḥkha-pīḍitāḥ ruditum ārabdhavantaḥ ||
अविषह्येन दुःखेन ततस्ते रुरुदुस्त्रयः । राजानं तादृशं शयानं दृष्ट्वा दीनमयोग्यवत् ॥

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical and emotional fallout of adharma-driven conflict: when rightful order collapses, even kings can be reduced to pitiable states, and witnesses are forced to confront the human cost—grief, shame, and the loss of dignity.
Sañjaya narrates that three individuals, upon seeing the king lying in an unworthy condition, are overcome by unbearable sorrow and begin to weep.
