My lord, do not make the wife of Droṇācārya cry like me. I am aggrieved for the death of my sons. She need not cry constantly like me.
Purport

Sympathetic good lady as she was, Śrīmatī Draupadī did not want to put the wife of Droṇācārya in the same position of childlessness, both from the point of motherly feelings and from the respectable position held by the wife of Droṇācārya.

— A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda

Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
Do not make Kṛpī, the mother of Aśvatthāmā and devoted to her husband, cry as I cry constantly with tearful face, pained by the death of my sons.
Commentary

Mā rodīt should be mā roditu “let her not cry.”
