"Surely I must accomplish the destruction of my own grief; therefore I shall appoint Bhima to follow Satvata." Having thus resolved in his mind, the son of Dharma, Yudhishthira, said to the charioteer, O king: "Drive me to Bhima." Having heard the word of the King of Dharma, the charioteer, skilled with horses, brought the gold-adorned chariot close to Bhima.

The king acts to dispel his anxiety: "kāryam ātmanaḥ śokanāśanam", the destruction of one's own grief must be accomplished. It is telling that he moves from deliberation to action. The verse teaches that anxiety is healed not by inaction but by a feasible deed: whoever, having weighed matters, does what must be done, thereby already lessens his own grief, for a care turned into action ceases to torment in vain.
