संजय उवाच
हन्त ते संप्रवक्ष्यामि सर्वं प्रत्यक्षदर्शिवान् ॥
शुश्रूषस्व स्थिरो भूत्वा तव ह्य् अपनयो महान् ॥
गतोदके सेतुबन्धो यादृक् तादृग् अयं तव ॥
विलापो निष्फलो राजन् मा शुचो भरतर्षभ ॥
अनतिक्रमणीयो ऽयं कृतान्तस्याद्भुतो विधिः ॥
मा शुचो भरतश्रेष्ठ दिष्टम् एतत् पुरातनम् ॥

"Well then, I shall tell you all, having seen it with my own eyes; listen, and be firm, for your blunder is great. Like the building of a dam when the water has already gone, so is this lament of yours — fruitless, O king; do not grieve, O bull of the Bharata race. Insurmountable is this wondrous law of Fate; do not grieve, O best of the Bharatas — this was ordained from of old."

Sanjaya joins truth and mercy: "tava hi apanayaḥ mahān," "your blunder is great" — yet also "mā śucaḥ," "do not grieve." The image "gatodake setubandhaḥ," "a dam built when the water has gone," strikes precisely: belated lament is useless. And yet it is called "kṛtāntasya vidhiḥ," the law of Fate: human fault and destiny are interwoven. The verse teaches that an honest counselor does not flatter the grieving, but names their fault directly — without cruelty; and that in misfortune one must not weep over what cannot be undone, but heed the truth about what was done, for weeping over a dam's departed water builds nothing.
