Then, seeing Dhritarashtra's sons arrayed and the weapons about to fall, Arjuna — whose banner bears the monkey — raised his bow and spoke to Krishna.

तं तथा कृपयाऽविष्टमश्रुपूर्णाकुलेक्षणम्

vākyam — words

To him in that state — overcome with pity, his eyes brimming and troubled, sunk in grief — Krishna spoke these words.

अनुद्वेगकरं वाक्यं सत्यं प्रियहितं च यत्

vākyam — words

Speech that causes no distress, that is true, kindly and beneficial, and the practice of study, is austerity of speech.
