अध्याय ९ — दुर्योधनस्य अन्त्यावस्था, विलापः, तथा सौप्तिक-प्रतिवृत्तम्
Duryodhana’s Final Condition, Lamentation, and the Night’s Report
तव पुत्रे गते स्वर्ग शोकार्तस्यथ ममानघ । ऋषिदत्तं प्रणष्टं तद् दिव्यदर्शित्वमद्य वै
sañjaya uvāca | tava putre gate svargaṃ śokārtasyātha mām anagha | ṛṣidattaṃ praṇaṣṭaṃ tad divyadarśitvam adya vai ||
三阇耶说道：“当你的儿子升往天界之时，我悲恸难当，清净无瑕者啊。并且就在今日，圣贤赐予我的那神圣之视，也确已消失。”

Educational Q&A
Even extraordinary powers granted for a purpose are impermanent; when the destined narrative closes—here, the fall and ‘heavenward departure’ of the king’s son—Sanjaya’s divinely granted vision ceases, underscoring the limits of human agency and the inevitability of karmic outcomes.
After reporting the catastrophic end of the Kuru war’s final violence, Sanjaya tells the blind king that with the king’s son having gone to heaven, Sanjaya is overcome by sorrow and the supernatural ‘divine sight’ given by the sage (Vyasa) to narrate events has now disappeared.
