Translation

O King Parīkṣit! Hearing the loud crying, all the inhabitants of the palace came, both men and women. Being equally aggrieved, they also began to cry. The queens who had administered the poison also cried pretentiously. Tāś ca means the other queens.

Personal Guidance

All the palace's men and women came and cried; the poisoning queens also wept pretentiously, knowing their guilt. Some tears are a continuation of the original lie.
