शोकाकुल-युधिष्ठिरं प्रति कुन्त्याः कालोचितोपदेशः | Kuntī’s Timely Counsel to the Grief-Stricken Yudhiṣṭhira
/ #फशार (0) आसजअान- > जहाँ बलवान् योद्धा अपने प्रतिद्वन्धीको दुर्बल पा उसकी एक पिण्डलीको पैरसे दबाकर दूसरीको ऊपर उठा सारे शरीरको बीचसे चीर डालता है
vaiśampāyana uvāca | etāvad uktvā devarṣir virirāma sa nāradaḥ | yudhiṣṭhiras tu rājarṣir dadhyau śoka-pariplutaḥ ||
毗舍波耶那说：天仙那罗陀只说到这里，便沉默不语。然而国王由提施提罗——虽为王中圣贤——仍沉浸在悲痛之中，开始深深思量，心神为忧伤所淹没。

The verse highlights the ethical and psychological weight borne by a righteous ruler: even a dharmic king must pause, reflect, and confront grief rather than rush to action. Silence after instruction and inward contemplation are presented as necessary steps toward moral clarity.
After delivering his message, the sage Nārada stops speaking. The focus then shifts to Yudhiṣṭhira, who, overwhelmed by sorrow, begins to brood and reflect—setting the stage for further counsel and resolution in the surrounding discourse of the Śānti Parva.
