Shloka 28
धृतराष्ट्रस्य मूर्च्छा—व्यासोपदेशः
Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Collapse and Vyāsa’s Counsel
ततस्ते भविता देवि भारस्य युधि नाशनम्
tataste bhavitā devi bhārasya yudhi nāśanam
于是，女神啊，在战场上将发生那“重负”的毁灭——通过歼灭使战争不可避免的诸势力，终结大地所承受的压迫之重。毗耶娑将即将到来的屠戮并非描绘为单纯的胜利，而是命定的、阴沉的卸载不可承受之担，其间横亘着“必要”与“悲剧”之间的伦理张力。
व्यास उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse presents war’s outcome as the removal of a cosmic and moral ‘burden’ rather than a celebratory triumph. It highlights the Mahābhārata’s ethical tension: even when destruction is portrayed as necessary for restoring order, it remains grievous and weighty.
Vyāsa addresses a goddess and foretells that, in the coming battle, the ‘burden’ will be destroyed—implying the elimination of those whose presence has become an intolerable weight on the world, culminating in a decisive, catastrophic conflict.
