Yudhishthira said I am stupefied, O grandfather, to hear your words! Thinking that the Earth is now destitute of a very large number of kings all of whom were gifted with great prosperity, my heart becomes filled with grief.
युधिष्ठिर उवाच मुह्यामीव निशम्याध चिन्तयानः पुनः पुनः। हीनां पार्थिवसंघातैः श्रीमद्भिः पृथिवीमिमाम्॥
