Diti’s Lament
On the Fall of the Daityas and the Futility of Grief
एवं ज्ञात्वा महाभागे समागच्छ सुखं प्रति । एवमुक्त्वा महायोगी तां प्रियां दुःखभागिनीम्
evaṃ jñātvā mahābhāge samāgaccha sukhaṃ prati | evamuktvā mahāyogī tāṃ priyāṃ duḥkhabhāginīm
ఇట్లు తెలిసికొని, హే మహాభాగ్యవతీ, సుఖమువైపు రమ్ము. అని చెప్పి మహాయోగి, దుఃఖభాగినియైన తన ప్రియను సంబోధించెను.
Mahāyogī (speaker not explicitly named in the provided verse)
Concept: Right understanding turns sorrow toward sukha; the teacher leads the afflicted from grief to a life aligned with spiritual well-being.
Application: Seek wise counsel in crisis; convert insight into steps—prayer, ethical living, and service; walk toward ‘sukha’ as inner steadiness rather than mere comfort.
