Dhṛtarāṣṭra and Sañjaya on Arjuna’s Indraloka report and the political consequences
निवेदयामास तदा चित्रसेनाय पाण्डव: । तत्र चैवं यथावृत्तं शापं चैव पुन: पुन:
nivedayāmāsa tadā citrasenāya pāṇḍavaḥ | tatra caiva yathāvṛttaṃ śāpaṃ caiva punaḥ punaḥ ||
แล้วปาณฑพก็กราบทูลเรื่องทั้งหมดแก่จิตรเสน เล่าตามที่เกิดขึ้นจริงทุกประการ และย้ำเรื่องคำสาปนั้นซ้ำแล้วซ้ำเล่า

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores satya (truthful reporting) and accountability: when a grave moral-spiritual consequence like a śāpa arises, one should disclose events accurately and seek appropriate guidance rather than hide or distort the truth.
Arjuna (the Pāṇḍava) approaches the Gandharva Citraseṇa and narrates the incident exactly as it occurred, repeatedly mentioning the curse, indicating urgency and the need for counsel or a way to mitigate its effects.
