“انسانی کمزوری سے جنم لینے والی باتیں—دھرم سے ہٹی ہوئی قسمیں—آخر کیسے پھل دیں؟” یہ آفت دیکھ کر مہاباہو دھرم پُتر یُدھِشٹھِر غم سے جلتا ہوا دیر تک بین کرتا رہا۔

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how human speech and pledges can slip into vidharmic (dharma-deviating) territory under pressure, and it frames Yudhiṣṭhira’s prolonged lament as the moral-emotional consequence of such frailty and the collapse of righteous order.
Vaiśaṃpāyana narrates that, in the wake of a disastrous scene, Yudhiṣṭhira (Dharmaputra) is overwhelmed and laments extensively; the emphasis is on his grief and the sense that prior words/pledges have turned contrary to dharma.
