I think, O sinless one, they and myself of little understanding must have perpetrated great iniquities in our previous lives, since, O Janarddana, all our relatives and kinsmen have thus been killed by king Yudhishthira. Our acts, fair or unfair, must bear fruits, O you of Vrishni's race.
पूर्वजातिकृतं पापं मन्ये नाल्पमिवानघ। एताभिर्निरवद्याभिर्मया चैवाल्पमेधया॥ यदिदं धर्मराजेन पातितं नो जनार्दन। न हि नाशोऽस्ति वार्ष्णेय कर्मणोः शुभपापयोः॥
