स दीर्घम उष्णं निःश्वस्य शॊकबाष्पपरिप्लुतः बुद्ध्या विचिन्तयाम आस वीराः केन निपातिताः ॥ ३-२९७-३ ॥
'The king heaved a long, burning sigh, his eyes brimming with tears of grief. Beholding his brothers lying dead before him, the mighty-armed son of Dharma, his heart torn with anguish, broke into sorrowful lamentation: By whom have these mighty heroes been struck down?' ॥ 3-297-3 ॥

नैषां शस्त्रप्रहारॊ ऽसति पदं नेहास्ति कस्य चित भूतं महद इदं मन्ये भरातरॊ येन मे हताः एकाग्रं चिन्तयिष्यामि पीत्वा वेत्स्यामि वा जलम ॥ ३-२९७-४ ॥
'Having thus mourned deeply and at length, the virtuous Yudhishthira, son of Dharma, at last restrained his grief and turned his mind to reflection—seeking to discover who could have slain such heroes. “There are no wounds from weapons upon their bodies,” he thought, “nor is there any sign of another’s footsteps nearby. Surely, some mighty being must be behind this—by whom my brothers have been struck down. Let me ponder this carefully with a steady mind… or perhaps I shall drink of the water first, and then all will be revealed to me.”' ॥ 3-297-4 ॥
