Śoka-śamana: Kṛṣṇa’s Consolation and Nārada’s Exempla to Sṛñjaya
Chapter 29
अर्जुन बोले--माधव! शत्रुओंको संताप देनेवाले ये धर्मपुत्र युधिष्ठिर स्वयं भाई- बन्धुओंके शोकसे संतप्त हो शोकके समुद्रमें डूब गये हैं, आप इन्हें धीरज बँधाइये ।।
Arjuna uvāca—sarve sma te saṁśayitāḥ punar eva janārdana | asya śokaṁ mahābāho praṇāśayitum arhasi ||
阿周那说道：“噢，摩陀婆！那位令敌人受苦的法之子——坚战（尤迪希提罗）——因兄弟与亲族之亡而悲恸不已，沉没在忧伤之海中。请你使他重得坚忍。噢，阇那尔达那，我们众人又一次陷入疑惧；噢，大臂者，你应当消除他的哀痛。”

Educational Q&A
In moments of moral collapse after violence, dharmic restoration begins with removing paralyzing grief and doubt through wise counsel. Arjuna points to Kṛṣṇa as the ethical guide who can reorient Yudhiṣṭhira from sorrow toward responsible, compassionate kingship.
After the Kurukṣetra war, Yudhiṣṭhira is overwhelmed by sorrow for slain relatives and the burden of the conflict’s consequences. Arjuna addresses Kṛṣṇa (Janārdana), saying that they are again troubled by uncertainty and asking him to dispel Yudhiṣṭhira’s grief.
