Even amid irreversible loss, dharma requires approaching the grieving with composure and responsibility—seeking reconciliation, truthful counsel, and restraint rather than triumphalism or vengeance.
The narrator states that Mādhava (Kṛṣṇa) goes to Gāndhārī and Dhṛtarāṣṭra, indicating a scene where he engages the bereaved Kuru elders after the devastation of the war.
