Alas! What news is this? Her son has also died because of me 

Many mothers whose kids died in war;  many wives who are grief stricken by death of their beloved husbands in War; many women whose kith and kin are lost in the war.  I feel as if these women are surrounding me.

Dear Sister Dussala, please forgive me. It is unbearable that I am the sole cause of all your agony.
