I will say a few wholesome words to you about this. After the fall of Bhishma and Drona and the mighty car-warrior Karna, after the slaughter of Jayadratlia and your brothers, O sinless one and your son Lakshmana, what is there now for us to do?
तदत्र प्रतिवक्ष्यामि किंचिदेव हितं वचः। हते भीष्मे च द्रोणे च कर्णे चैव महारथे॥ जयद्रथे च निहते तव भ्रातृषु चनाघ! लक्ष्मणे तव पुत्रे च किं शेषं पर्युपासते॥
