Subhadrā’s Petition to Kṛṣṇa for the Revival of Parīkṣit (अभिमन्युज-प्राणरक्षा-प्रार्थना)
अब्र॒ुवंश्ष महाराज सर्वाः सास्राविलेक्षणा: । स्वस्रीयो वासुदेवस्य मृतो जात इति प्रभो
Vaiśampāyana uvāca: Abruvan mahārāja sarvāḥ sāśrāvilekṣaṇāḥ | svasrīyo Vāsudevasya mṛto jāta iti prabho ||
毗湿摩波耶那说道：“大王啊，那些妇人无不泪眼模糊，放声哀哭道：‘哀哉！瓦苏提婆之妹的孩子，竟生而为死，主上啊！’此景凸显：纵经大胜，生命仍脆弱不堪；而悲恸乃人同此心的回应，考验着在达摩之中持守的定力与慈悲。”

Educational Q&A
Even in the wake of royal rites and restored order, dharma must include compassion toward suffering; collective grief reveals the impermanence of worldly success and calls leaders to respond with steadiness, care, and ethical responsibility.
Women present in the scene are overwhelmed with sorrow, their eyes streaming with tears, as they announce that the child connected to Vāsudeva through his sister’s line has been born dead.
