द्वैपायनह्रदे दुर्योधनान्वेषणम् / The Search for Duryodhana at Dvaipāyana Lake
युयुत्सुरपि तां रात्रि स्वगृहे न्यवसत् तदा । वन्द्यमान: स्वकैश्वापि नाभ्यनन्दत् सुदु:खित: । चिन्तयान: क्षयं तीव्रं भरतानां परस्परम्

yuyutsur api tāṃ rātriṃ svagṛhe nyavasat tadā |
vandyamānaḥ svakaiś cāpi nābhyānandat suduḥkhitaḥ |
cintayānaḥ kṣayaṃ tīvraṃ bharatānāṃ parasparam ||
三阇耶说道：那一夜，优优兹苏仍留在自己的家中。悲痛深重，即使亲族前来致敬，他也毫无欢喜。他的心神沉溺于思虑：因同族相残之战，婆罗多一族竟遭受何等惨烈的相互毁灭。

The verse highlights the moral and emotional cost of internecine war: even honor and social recognition cannot console a conscience weighed down by the awareness of collective ruin (kṣaya) within one’s own lineage.
Sañjaya reports Yuyutsu’s state on that night: he remains at home, receives salutations from his own people, yet cannot feel happiness because he is preoccupied with the severe mutual slaughter of the Bharatas.
