उद्योगपर्व — अध्याय ८१: कृष्णस्य दूतप्रयाणम्
Udyoga Parva, Chapter 81: Krishna Sets Out as Envoy
तामुवाच महाबाहु: केशव: परिसान्त्वयन् अचिराद् द्रक्ष्यसे कृष्णे रुदतीर्भरतस्त्रिय:
tām uvāca mahābāhuḥ keśavaḥ parisāntvayan | acirād drakṣyase kṛṣṇe rudatīr bharatastriyaḥ ||
毗湿摩波耶那说道：臂力无双的凯沙瓦（Keśava）为安慰她，开口道：“噢，克里希娜（Kṛṣṇā），不久之后，你也将看见婆罗多（Bharata）一族的妇人同样哭泣——哀号不会只落在你一人身上。”
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse underscores the moral consequence of escalating adharma into war: suffering multiplies and spreads beyond the initial victim. Consolation here is not denial of pain but a sober reminder that collective wrongdoing brings collective grief.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Kṛṣṇa (Keśava) comforts Kṛṣṇā (Draupadī) and foretells that soon she will witness other Bharata women also crying—anticipating widespread mourning as the conflict moves toward catastrophe.
