Duryodhana "with shame" passes the bitter news to Kripa: some burdens of speech are unbearable even for a king. It is telling that Kripa too speaks it "falling into grief again and again" -- the truth of a loved one's death cannot be uttered without pain. The verse teaches that news of a dear one's death is a heavy duty, borne with grief and shame; and dignity here lies not in remaining unmoved but in fulfilling what must be done without hiding one's own sorrow.
