Shloka 30
वैशम्पायन उवाच एवं विलपतीं कुन्तीमभिवाद्य प्रणम्प च । पाण्डवा विगतानन्दा वनायैव प्रवव्रजु:
Vaiśampāyana uvāca: evaṁ vilapatīṁ Kuntīm abhivādya praṇamya ca | Pāṇḍavā vigatānandā vanāyaiva pravavrajuḥ ||
Wika ni Vaiśampāyana: Nang si Kuntī ay nananangis nang gayon, siya’y binati at pinagpugayan ng mga Pāṇḍava; at sila—nawalan ng galak—ay tumulak na patungo sa gubat, tanging dala ang dalamhati.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even in extreme injustice and sorrow, one should not abandon basic dharmic conduct—here, the Pāṇḍavas maintain reverence toward their mother and accept the burdensome path of exile with restraint rather than retaliatory impulsiveness.
After Kuntī laments, the Pāṇḍavas respectfully salute and bow to her, then leave—sad and joyless—for the forest, marking the transition from courtly life to exile following the events in the assembly.
