उत्क्रुश्य चाब्रवीद् वाक्यं कुरुराजम् इदं पुनः ॥
श्रुत्वा कृष्णौ मया ग्रस्तं सौभद्रम् अतिमानिनौ ॥

तौ च श्रुत्वा मृतौ व्यक्तं पाण्डोः क्षेत्रोद्भवाः सुताः ॥
एकाह्ना ससुहृद्वर्गाः क्लैब्याद् धास्यन्ति जीवितम् ॥
तस्माद् अस्मिन् हते शत्रौ हताः सर्वे ऽहितास् तव ॥
शिवेन ध्याहि मा राजन्न् एष हन्मि रिपुं तव ॥

And crying out, he spoke once more this word to the king of the Kurus: 'When the two proud Krishnas hear that the son of Subhadra has been slain by me, and hear that he is dead, then surely the sons born of Pandu's field, together with their hosts of friends, will in a single day give up their lives from despair. Therefore, when this enemy is slain, all your foes are slain. Think only of what is auspicious, do not fear, O king — here I will slay your enemy.'

Duhshasana weaves a chain of self-deception: kill the boy — Krishna and the Pandavas will die of grief — all enemies will fall. Thus boasting piles imaginary victories atop a first step not yet taken. It is telling that in the very longing to destroy a child in order to break his kinsmen with grief, a peculiar cruelty is laid bare — counting on another's sorrow as a weapon. The verse teaches that self-deception builds castles on sand, drawing from what has not yet happened an entire chain of desired consequences; that plotting a child's death as a means of breaking his kin is a double dishonor; and that Duhshasana, consoling his brother with the dream of enemies dying of grief, shows how far enmity can lead — to the point where another's grief over a slain child is reckoned as one's own gain.
