समन्तादेव कीर्यन्तोऽदहन्त मगधाधिपम्। उदकं तस्य चक्रेऽथ सहदेवः सहानुजः
All around, they scattered offerings and performed the water-rite for the king of Magadha; then Sahadeva, with his younger brother, conducted the water ceremony for him.
कृत्वा पितुः स्वर्गगतिं निर्ययौ यत्र केशवः। पाण्डवौ च महाभागौ भीमसेनार्जुनावुभौ
Having ensured his father's ascent to heaven, Sahadeva departed to where Keshava was, along with the two illustrious Pandavas, Bhimasena and Arjuna.
स प्रह्वः प्राञ्जलिर्भूत्वा व्यज्ञापयत माधवम्
He approached Madhava, bowing low with joined palms, and made his request.
हस्तिनोऽश्वाश्च गोविन्द वासांसि विविधानि च। दीयतां धर्मराजाय यथा वा मन्यते भवान्
O Govinda, let elephants, horses, and various garments be given to King Yudhishthira, or as you deem appropriate.
भयार्ताय ततस्तस्मै कृत्वा कृष्णोऽभयं तदा। अभ्यषिञ्चत राजानं सहदेवं जनार्दनः
Then Krishna granted him freedom from fear, for he was terrified, and Janardana anointed Sahadeva as king.
मागधानां महीपालं जरासन्धात्मजं तदा। आददे च महार्हाणि रत्नानि पुरुषोत्तमः
At that time, the supreme Purusha took the precious jewels from the king of the Magadhas, the son of Jarasandha.
गत्वैकत्वं स कृष्णेन पार्थाभ्यां चापि सत्कृतः। विवेश मतिमान्त्राजा पुनर्बार्हद्रथं पुरम्
Having been honored by Krishna and the two sons of Pritha, the wise king returned alone to the city of the Barhadrathas.
पार्थाभायं सहितः कृष्णः सर्वैश्च वसुधाधिपैः। यथावयः समागम्य विससर्ज नराधिपान्
Krishna, together with the Pandavas and all the other kings, after gathering as was proper, dismissed the assembled rulers.
विसृज्य सर्वान्नृपतीन्राजसूये महात्मभिः। आगन्तव्यं भवद्भिश्च धर्मराजप्रियेप्सुभिः
Having dismissed all the kings at the Rajasuya, the great-souled ones said, 'You should come again, all who wish to please King Yudhishthira.'
एवमुक्ता माधवेन सर्वे ते वसुधाधिपाः। एवमस्त्विति चाप्युक्त्वा समेताः परया मुदा
Thus addressed by Madhava, all those rulers of the earth replied, 'So be it,' and departed together with great joy.
भीमार्जुनहृषीकेशैः प्रहृष्टाः प्रययुस्तदा। रत्नान्यादाय भूरीणी ज्वलन्तो रिपुसूदनाः
Delighted by Bhima, Arjuna, and Hrishikesha, those destroyers of foes departed, taking with them abundant shining jewels.
कृष्णस्तु सह पार्थाभ्यां श्रिया परमया युतः। रत्नान्यादाय भूरिणी प्रययौ पुरुषर्षभः
Krishna, united with the Pandavas and endowed with supreme splendor, took many precious jewels and departed, the best among men.
इन्द्रप्रस्थमुपागम्य पाण्डवाभ्यां सहाच्युतः। समेत्य धर्मराजानं प्रीयमाणोऽभ्यभाषत
Having arrived at Indraprastha with the Pandavas, Achyuta joyfully approached King Yudhishthira and addressed him.
दिष्ट्या भीमेन बलवाञ्जरासन्धो निपातितः। राजानो मोक्षिताश्चेमे बन्धनान्नृपसत्तम
By fortune, mighty Bhima has slain Jarasandha, and these kings, O best of rulers, have been freed from their bonds.
दिष्ट्या कुशलिनौ चेमौ भीमसेनधनञ्जयौ। पुनः स्वनगरं प्राप्तावक्षताविति भारत
By fortune, Bhimasena and Dhananjaya have returned safely to their city, uninjured, O Bharata.
ततो युधिष्ठिरः कृष्णं पूजयित्वा यथार्हतः। भीमसेनार्जुनौ चैव प्रहृष्टः परिषस्वजे
Then Yudhishthira, having duly honored Krishna and also Bhimasena and Arjuna, embraced them joyfully.
ततः क्षीणे जरासन्धे भ्रातृभ्यां विहितं जयम्। अजातशत्रुरासाद्य मुमुदे भ्रातृभिः सह
After Jarasandha was slain and victory was achieved by his brothers, Ajatashatru rejoiced together with his brothers.
हृष्टश्च धर्मराड्वाक्यं जनार्दनमभाषत। त्वां प्राप्य पुरुषव्याघ्र भीमसेनेन पातितः
The righteous king, delighted, spoke to Janardana: 'Having you, O tiger among men, Bhimasena has slain Jarasandha.'
मागधोऽसौ बलोन्मत्तो जरासन्धः प्रतापवान्। राजसूयं क्रतुश्रेष्ठं प्राप्स्यामि विगतज्वरः
That Magadha king, Jarasandha, intoxicated by his strength and renowned for his prowess, said: 'I will obtain the Rajasuya, the foremost of sacrifices, free from anxiety.'
त्वद्बुद्धिबलमाश्रित्य यागार्होऽस्मि जनार्दन। पीतं पृथिव्याः क्रुद्धेन यशस्ते पुरुषोत्तम
Relying on your wisdom and strength, O Janardana, I am worthy to perform the sacrifice; O best among men, your fame has spread across the earth, even when angered.
एवं सम्भाष्य कौन्तेयः प्रादाद्रथवरं प्रभोः
Having spoken thus, Kaunteya presented the excellent chariot to the Lord.
प्रतिगृह्य तु गोविन्दो जरासन्धस्य तं रथम्
Govinda, accepting that chariot of Jarasandha, took it in hand.
प्रहृष्टस्तस्य मुमुदे फल्गुनेन जनार्दनः। प्रीतिमानभवद्राजन्धर्मराजपुरस्कृतः
Janardana rejoiced greatly with Phalguna; honored by Dharmaraja, he became full of affection.
यथावयः समागम्य भ्रातृभिः सह पाण्डवः। सत्कृत्य पूजयित्वा च विससर्ज नराधिपान्
Then, having gathered with his brothers, the Pandava honored and worshipped the kings, and respectfully dismissed them.
युधिष्ठिराभ्यनुज्ञातास्ते नृपा हृष्टमानसाः। जग्मुः स्वदेशांस्त्वरिता यानैरुच्चावचैस्ततः
Permitted by Yudhishthira, those kings, their hearts delighted, departed swiftly to their own lands in vehicles of various kinds.
एवं पुरुषशार्दूलो महाबुद्धिर्जनार्दनः। पाण्डवैर्घातयामास जरासन्धमरिं तदा
Thus, the tiger among men, Janardana of great intelligence, together with the Pandavas, slew Jarasandha, their enemy, at that time.
घातयित्वा जरासन्धं बुद्धिपूर्वमरिन्दमः। धर्मराजमनुज्ञाप्य पृथां कृष्णां च भारत
Having slain Jarasandha with forethought, the destroyer of foes, after seeking permission from Dharmaraja, Pritha, and Krishna, O Bharata,
सुभद्रां भीमसेनं च फाल्गुनं यमजौ तथा। धौम्यमामन्त्रयित्वा च प्रययौ स्वां पुरीं प्रति
He consulted with Subhadra, Bhimasena, Phalguna, the twin sons of Yama, and Dhaumya, and then departed for his own city.
पाण्डवैरनुधावद्भिर्युधिष्ठिरपुरोगमैः। हर्षेण महता युक्तः प्राप्य चानुत्तमं यशः। जगाम हृष्टः कृष्णस्तु पुनर्द्वारवतीं पुरीम्
Followed by the Pandavas, with Yudhishthira at their head, filled with great joy and having attained unsurpassed fame, Krishna, delighted, returned again to the city of Dwaravati.
तेनैव रथमुख्येन मनसस्तुल्यगामिना। धर्मराजविसृष्टेन दिव्येनानादयन्दिशः
With that foremost chariot, moving as swiftly as the mind, released by Dharmaraja, resounding in all directions with its divine sound,
