Having listened to Arjuna’s brave words, the Brahmin told him that he will return when his wife is due to deliver and reached home; and with honeyed words he placated his grieving wife and spoke thus.
O beautiful and lotus-faced, hear my words.;
my dearest, please do not cry
Your sorrow will vanish, what we desire will
come true and bring us joy, my wife
When I went into the Yadava court with our
son’s dead body and started wailing,
something happened that will drive
away our sorrow, listen my dearest.
The husband of Lord Krishna’s niece
and the world-renowned Arjuna the brave
has promised me that he will protect
the next son you are going to deliver.
