एतावद् एव निर्वृत्तम् अस्माकं शोकवर्धनम् ॥
स चैवं पुरुषव्याघ्रः स्वर्गलोकम् अवाप्तवान् ॥
संजय उवाच
ततो ऽर्जुनो वचः श्रुत्वा धर्मराजेन भाषितम् ॥
हा पुत्र इति निःश्वस्य व्यथितो न्यपतद् भुवि ॥
विषण्णवदनाः सर्वे परिगृह्य धनंजयम् ॥

"This alone has come to pass, adding to our sorrow; and thus that tiger among men attained the world of heaven." Then Arjuna, hearing this speech uttered by the King of Dharma — "O son!" — groaning, overwhelmed, fell to the ground. All with downcast faces, gathering around Dhananjaya, in grief, gazed at one another with unblinking eyes.

Yudhishthira closes with a sorrowful balance: "etāvad eva… śokavardhanam", "this alone — adding to our grief", and at once "svargalokam avāptavān", "attained the heavenly world": earthly grief and heavenly triumph are named in the same breath. And the father, no sooner hearing it, falls with the cry "hā putra". It is telling that the news, delivered together with the truth about heaven, still lays him low: the mind knows dharma, but the heart is struck. "Netrair animiṣair… pratyavekṣan parasparam" — the silent exchange of glances is stronger than wailing. The verse teaches that even knowledge of the departed one's heavenly fate does not annul earthly pain — it only gives that pain a support, so that it does not turn into despair.
