Alas! O God! what shall I do?
Sloka:
As Krishna and Arjuna stayed happily together in Dwaraka, a Brahmin suffered the deaths at birth of his eight children in eight years. When the ninth son also died, the Brahmin came to the royal court with the dead body of the infant and wailing loudly spoke thus.
Alas! O God! what shall I do?
Alas! Who is there to help me?
There is no peace in all the worlds
for a man with no sons, it’s certain, O God
