毗舍摩波耶那说道：“噫，婆罗多（持国）啊，你的儿子们尽皆被杀，德劳帕蒂之子亦复如是。迦尔那那位以勇力著称的英雄之子——弗利沙塞那——也已战死。”

The verse highlights the ethical cost of war: even when one side seeks power or revenge, the outcome is widespread annihilation and sorrow. It implicitly warns that adharma-driven conflict consumes both victors and vanquished, leaving only grief and the collapse of families.
Vaiśampāyana reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that his sons (the Kauravas) are all dead, that Draupadī’s sons have also been killed, and that Karṇa’s brave son Vṛṣasena has likewise fallen—marking the near-total devastation at the close of the great war.
