नाहं वेद गतिं पित्रोर्भगवन्क्व गतावितः ।
अम्बा वा हतपुत्रार्ता क्व गता च तपस्विनी ॥३९॥

nāhaṁ veda gatiṁ pitror
bhagavan kva gatāv itaḥ
ambā vā hata-putrārtā
kva gatā ca tapasvinī

Yudhiṣṭhira said: “O master! I do not know the destination of my uncles. Where did they go from there? Where did my austere aunt, grieving for her dead sons, go? You are like a pilot for crossing the ocean of grief; you can see the other side.” Then Lord Nārada the best of sages spoke.

Apare means “in the ocean of grief.” Since you are the Lord, you know everything. Please tell me.
