अनुवाद
Those two, well-wishers at every hour, attuned to Arjuna's heart -- out of great respect and love, they alone were entitled to speak with him. And then, to him whose heart was grievously afflicted with grief for his son, the lotus-eyed, the wrathful one -- the king spoke a word.

The verse names what earns the right to speak to one maddened by grief: "bahumanat priyatvat cha", "out of great respect and love". Not power, not kinship, but mutual regard and love open the way to a wounded heart. "Arjunasya manonugau", "attuned to Arjuna's heart" -- only one close to the sufferer's soul can heal. The chapter breaks off on the threshold of Yudhishthira's words, the King of Dharma about to tell the truth of the boy's death. The verse teaches that only love joined with respect is granted access to another's wound, and that to it alone is entrusted the hardest task -- to speak the truth to one who grieves.
