Uttarā-vilāpaḥ and Kṛṣṇasya satya-vacanenābhi-mañyu-jasyābhijīvanam
Uttarā’s Lament and the Revival of Abhimanyu’s Son by Krishna’s Truth-Act
सुसंवीताभवद् देवी देववत् कृष्णमीयुषी । सा तथा दूयमानेन हृदयेन तपस्विनी
susaṃvītābhavad devī devavat kṛṣṇam īyuṣī | sā tathā dūyamānena hṛdayena tapasvinī ||
வைசம்பாயனர் கூறினார்— தேவியைப் போல நன்கு ஆடை அணிந்து, தேவதையைப் போல் ஒளிவீசி அவள் கிருஷ்ணனை அணுகினாள்; ஆனால் தவச்சித்தம் கொண்ட அவள் உள்ளம் துயரால் எரிந்துகொண்டிருந்தது.

The verse highlights the ethical tension between outward dignity and inward suffering: even a disciplined, ascetic-minded person may be overwhelmed by grief, and in such moments seeking the presence of a wise guide (here, Kṛṣṇa) becomes a dharmic response.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that a noble lady, appearing radiant and properly attired, goes to meet Kṛṣṇa; despite her composed exterior, she is inwardly distressed, her heart burning with sorrow.
