Here the husband answers his wife's arguments not with words but with tears. It is telling that the brahmin, overcome with grief, does not accept her sacrifice lightly: his silent tears are the refusal of a heart that cannot betray the one it loves, however reasonable her arguments may be. Here it is revealed that love is not settled by arithmetic: the wife's reason is ready for sacrifice, but her husband's heart resists. Telling, too, is that they weep together, embracing: in the midst of calamity, love unites them rather than divides them. Thus the text shows the impasse of pure hearts that love one another more than themselves; and it is in this very moment, when both arguments and tears are exhausted, that deliverance through Kunti and Bhima is about to arrive.
