• striyaḥ — the women
  Plural of strī. The same word the chapter began praising (verse 6) — and now we hear from a different set of women, on the other side of the moral ledger. The Bhāgavatam grants both sets the same noun; both are striyaḥ, both are heard.
• suhṛt - maraṇa - duḥkhitāḥ — pained by the death of their well-wishers
  Compound: suhṛt (well-wisher, husband) + maraṇa (death) + duḥkhita (pained). The technical word suhṛt is the wife's-word for husband — not 'husband' (pati) but 'well-wisher'. The Bhāgavatam grants Kaṁsa's wife the dignity of love she received from him, however little.
• vinighnantyaḥ śīrṣāṇi — beating their heads
  Compound clause: vinighnat (striking) + śīrṣa (head). The classical śoka-gesture — wives strike their own heads in grief. The Bhāgavatam's lament-vocabulary is consistent: this is the Mahābhārata war's widow-gesture, replayed in miniature.
• aśru - vilocanāḥ — with tear-filled eyes
  Compound: aśru (tear) + vilocana (eye). Cf. verse 15 — aśru-kaṇṭhyaḥ, the throats choked with tears (of the gopīs in prema). Same bodily sign, opposite cause: prema's tears and śoka's tears wet the same cheeks.

• Whose grief have you ignored because it followed the death of someone unworthy?
• How do you hold compassion for collateral mourners?

The wives of Kaṁsa and his brothers come forward, beating their heads, tears running. The Bhāgavatam, having just shown the heavens dancing, immediately pans to the widows weeping. Both rasas are real at the same moment. The Purāṇa refuses to let the reader simplify the scene.
