Having first cut down in the fray many princes serpent-like in venom, the son of Arjuna then followed after them. Having slain ten thousand and the maharatha Kausalya, the son of Krishna, like unto Krishna and Arjuna, ascended in truth to the hall of Shakra. Having destroyed chariots, horses, men and elephants by the thousands, not sated with battle, he — author of righteous deeds — is not to be mourned.

"Aśocyaḥ," "not to be mourned," recalls the teaching of the Gita: one who ascends through the fulfillment of duty is not to be grieved for. "Puṇyakarmakṛt," "author of righteous deeds," seals the point: his death is not a loss but a completed sacrifice. "Kṛṣṇārjuna-samaḥ… śakrasadma gataḥ" — equal to Krishna and Arjuna, he ascended to Indra's hall. It is telling that "avitṛptaḥ saṃgrāmāt," "not sated with battle," speaks not of fury but of an unexhausted valor cut short only by lawlessness. The verse teaches us to see in a righteous death not cause for grief but fulfillment.
