“Sanjaya reminds the king that he is versed in the Sastras, intelligent and wise, and that they never sink under misfortunes whose understandings are guided by the Sastras; no one can avert by his wisdom the decrees of fate, and it is unbecoming to grieve for what must happen.

“Sanjaya declares that Time creates all things and destroys all creatures, that Time alone is awake when all things are asleep and is incapable of being overcome, and that all things past, future and present are the offspring of Time; having thus administered comfort, he restored Dhritarashtra's mind to peace.
