毗舍波耶那曰：大王啊，如此被言及之时，诛灭计尸者——凯沙瓦（Kṛṣṇa）——为悲痛所压，便高声说道，仿佛使众人皆为之回响：“就如此吧。”凭此坚决的允诺，他意在抚慰受苦之人，于战后余烬之中，将慈悲化作必行之誓。

Educational Q&A
Even the powerful are not immune to grief, yet dharma expresses itself through compassionate resolve: Kṛṣṇa’s public, firm assurance (“tathā”) models how one should respond to suffering—not with helplessness, but with consoling speech backed by committed action.
After being addressed (in context, by a grieving family member), Kṛṣṇa—called Keśihā—though himself overwhelmed by sorrow, speaks loudly to reassure the listeners, promising that what is sought will be accomplished, thereby calming the distressed and steadying the situation.
