महान्तं भारमुद्यम्य विश्रुतं सार्वलौकिकम् । दृष्ट्वा विनिहतं भीष्मं मन्ये शोचन्ति पुत्रकाः॥६-१५-७१॥

Having borne a great burden, renowned throughout the world, Bhīṣma has been brought down; seeing this, I think my sons are grieving.

I shall hear those sufferings brought about by Duryodhana. Therefore, tell me everything—what occurred there, O Sañjaya.

In the strategic engagement of kings, whether something was mishandled through dullness and poor judgment, or whether it was well conducted—tell me that, O Sañjaya.
