व्याख्या / Traditional Commentary & Notes
Classical Exegesis
Karandikar:
Make the enemy's wives bereft of (their) waving hair through the slaughter of (their) husbands and get the paint on (their) lips washed off by tears from (their) eyes. Abandon grief. Where are you, the refuge of the worlds, and where is (this) depravity ? (The two are incompatible).
