Translations

English Translation

Neither can life be revived by shedding tears nor by providing reassurances, nor does prolonged crying bring back a soul. It reflects the theme that emotional responses are inadequate in the face of death.

हिंदी अनुवाद

न tears बहाए जाने से जीवन वापस नहीं आ सकता, न आश्वासन देने से, न ही लंबे विलाप से आत्मा वापस आती है। यह मृत्यु के समक्ष भावनात्मक प्रतिक्रियाओं की अपर्याप्तता को दर्शाता है।
