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,
ततो युधिष्ठिरमुखाः पाण्डवा भरतर्षभ। प्रदक्षिणमकुर्वन्त कृष्णमक्लिष्टकारिणम्
Then, O bull among Bharatas, the Pandavas, led by Yudhishthira, circumambulated Krishna, the doer of flawless deeds.
ततो गते भगवति कृष्णे देवकिनन्दने। जयं लब्ध्वा सुविपुलं राज्ञां दत्त्वाऽभयं तदा
After the blessed Krishna, son of Devaki, had departed, having achieved great victory and granted safety to the kings,
संवर्धितं यशो भूयः कर्मणा तेन भारत। द्रौपद्याः पाण्डवा राजन्परां प्रीतिमवर्धयन्
By that deed, O Bharata, their fame was further increased; the Pandavas, O king, brought supreme delight to Draupadi.
तस्मिन्काले तु यद्युक्तं धर्मकामार्थसंहितम्। तद्राजा धर्मतश्चक्रे प्रजापालनकीर्तनम्
At that time, whatever was appropriate, connected with righteousness, desire, and wealth, the king performed, renowned for protecting his subjects according to dharma.
ऋषेस्तद्वचनं स्मृत्वा निशश्वास युधिष्ठिरः। धर्म धर्मभृतां श्रेष्ठः कर्तुमिच्छन्परन्तपः
Remembering the words of the sage, Yudhishthira sighed; the best among those who uphold dharma, desiring to act, scorcher of foes.
तस्येङ्गितज्ञो बीभत्सुः सर्वशस्त्रभृतां वरः। संविवर्तयिषुः कामं पावकात्पाकशासनिः
Understanding his intent, Bhimasena, foremost among all wielders of weapons, wished to fulfill his desire, like the thunderbolt from fire.
प्राप्तं प्राप्य धनुः श्रेष्ठमक्षय्यौ च महेषुधी। रथं ध्वजं सभां चैव युधिष्ठिरमभाषत
Having obtained the finest bow, inexhaustible arrows, a mighty chariot, a banner, and the assembly, Yudhishthira spoke.
धनुरस्त्रं शरा वीर्यं पक्षो भूमिर्यशो बलम्। प्राप्तमेतन्मया राजन्दुष्प्रापं यदभीप्सितम्
Bow, missiles, arrows, valor, wings, land, fame, and strength—all these, O King, I have attained, though they are difficult to acquire and desired by many.
तस्य कृत्यमहं मन्ये कोशस्य परिवर्धनम्। करमाहारयिष्यामि राज्ञः सर्वान्नृपोत्तम
I consider the increase of the treasury to be my duty; I will collect tribute from all kings for you, O foremost of rulers.
विजयाय प्रयास्यामि दिशं धनदपालिताम्। तिथावथ मुहूर्ते च नक्षत्रे चाभिपूजिते
I will set out for victory toward the region guarded by the Lord of Wealth, at the auspicious time, moment, and honored constellation.
