शल्यपर्वणि प्रथमाध्यायः — Karṇa-vadha-anantaraṃ Śalya-niyogaḥ, Saṃjayasya Dhṛtarāṣṭra-nivedanam
स समाथ्वास्यमानो5पि हेतुभि: शास्त्रनिश्चितै: । राजभिननलभरच्छर्म सूतपुत्रवर्धं स््मरन्
sa samāśvāsyamāno 'pi hetubhiḥ śāstra-niścitaiḥ | rājabhir na labhec charma sūta-putra-vadhaṃ smaran ||
毗湿摩跋耶那说道:诸王虽以牢牢立足于《沙斯特拉》(śāstra)教义的种种道理劝慰他,他仍不得安宁;因为一忆及车夫之子被杀之事,他的心便无法平定。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Scriptural reasoning and ethical counsel can guide the intellect, yet intense personal grief—especially tied to a traumatic death—may still prevent inner peace; the verse highlights the limits of argument when the heart remains bound to sorrow.
After the death of the sūta-putra (Karna, by epithet), the kings attempt to console the afflicted person with śāstra-grounded arguments, but he remains unpacified because the memory of that killing keeps his mind agitated.
