Krishna said: O fair lady, the wives of those with whom you are angry will weep like you on seeing their husbands lying dead on the ground, their bodies covered with the arrows of Vivatsu and weltering in blood. Do not grieve; I shall do for the Pandavas whatever lies in my power.
वासुदेव उवाच रोदिष्यन्ति स्त्रियो ह्येव येषां क्रुद्धासि भाविनि। बीभत्सुशरसंच्छन्नाञ्छोणितौघपरिप्लुतान्॥ निहतान् वल्लभान् वीक्ष्य शयानान् वसुधातले। यत् समर्थं पाण्डवानां तत् करिष्यामि मा शुचः।।
