Shloka 9
समुत्सृजन्ती मज्जूषामश्वनद्यां तदा जले । उवाच रुदती कुन्ती यानि वाक्यानि तच्छूणु,उस समय अश्वनदीके जलमें उस पिटारीको छोड़ते समय रोती हुई कुन्तीने जो बातें कहीं, उन्हें बताता हूँ; सुनो
samutsṛjantī majjūṣām aśvanadyāṁ tadā jale | uvāca rudatī kuntī yāni vākyāni tac chṛṇu ||
当她将那匣子投入阿湿婆那底河水之时，昆蒂泪如雨下，说出了一些话。且听我转述她所言。此刻构成一幅痛苦的伦理张力：母亲的悲恸与对世俗非议的恐惧，正对峙于弃子所带来的不可逆后果；叙事也由此引导听者衡量慈悲、责任与隐秘所付出的代价。
वैशग्पायन उवाच

The verse sets up an ethical dilemma where personal fear and social reputation collide with compassion and responsibility. It invites reflection on how secrecy and honor-based choices can produce lasting suffering, and how dharma is tested most sharply in moments of vulnerability and irreversible action.
Vaiśaṃpāyana tells the listener that, at the moment Kuntī releases a casket into the river Aśvanadī, she is crying and speaks certain words. This line functions as a narrative bridge, introducing Kuntī’s lament or prayer that follows.
