My poor son, who had before been the lord of the universe, was now himself without help! Alas, he had, then, to proceed on foot, shouldering his mace! What can it be but Destiny? Alas, O Sanjaya, great was the grief that was felt by my son now! 'Having uttered these words, the king afflicted with great sorrow became silent.
भूत्वा हि जगतो नाथो ह्यनाथ इव मे सुतः। गदामुद्यम्य यो याति किमन्यद् भागधेयतः॥ अहो दुःखं महत् प्राप्तं पुत्रेण मम संजय। एवमुक्त्वा स दुःखार्तो विरराम जनाधिपः॥
