Having placed him in a basket made of grass, Kunti Floated it in the water of Ganga. He who was known to the world as the son of the charioteer Radha, was really the eldest son of Kunti, and, therefore, our uterine brother! Hankering after kingdom, alas, I have unknowingly brought about the death of that brother of mine. It is this that is burning my body, like a fire consuming a heap of cotton.
मञ्जूषायां समाधाय गङ्गास्रोतस्यमज्जयत्। यं सूतपुत्रं लोकोऽयं राधेयं चाभ्यमन्यत॥ स ज्येष्ठपुत्रः कुन्त्या वै भ्रातास्माकं च मातृजः। अजानता मया भ्रात्रा राज्यलुब्धेन घातितः॥ तन्मे दहति गात्राणि तूलराशिमिवानलः।
