ऋषिसमागमः — युधिष्ठिरस्य शोकवर्णनम्
Sage Assembly and Yudhiṣṭhira’s Articulation of Grief
सोर्ड्जुनेन हतो वीरो क्रात्रा भ्राता सहोदर: । न चैव विवृतो मन्त्र: पृथायास्तस्य वा विभो,उस वीर सहोदर भाईको भाई अर्जुनने मार डाला। प्रभो! इस गुप्त रहस्यको न तो माता कुन्तीने प्रकट किया और न कर्णने ही
so 'rjunena hato vīraḥ kṛtrā bhrātā sahodaraḥ | na caiva vivṛto mantraḥ pṛthāyās tasya vā vibho ||
尤狄施提罗说道：“那位英勇之士——本是与我同母所生的兄弟——竟被阿周那所杀。然而，噢主宰，此一隐秘从未被揭露：普利塔（昆蒂）未曾说出，他（迦尔纳）亦未曾说出。”

The verse highlights the ethical weight of hidden truths within family and polity: secrecy about kinship can shape fate, intensify tragedy, and leave survivors burdened with remorse and moral reflection after war.
Yudhiṣṭhira laments that Karṇa—his full brother through Kuntī—was killed by Arjuna, and he stresses that this crucial secret of birth was never revealed either by Kuntī or by Karṇa himself.
