महिमानं परं चापि पाण्डवानां महात्मनाम्। दूर्योधनो धार्तराष्ट्रो विवर्णः समपद्यत
And witnessing the supreme majesty of the great-souled Pāṇḍavas, Duryodhana, son of Dhṛtarāṣṭra, became pale.
स तु गच्छन्ननेकाग्नः सभामेकोऽन्वचिन्तयत्। श्रियं च तामनुपमां धर्मराजस्य धीमतः
As he went, pondering alone, his mind burning, he reflected on the matchless splendor of wise King Yudhiṣṭhira.
प्रमत्तो धृतराष्ट्रस्य पुत्रो दुर्योधनस्तदा। नाभ्यभाषत्सुबलजं भाषमाणं पुनः पुनः
At that time, Duryodhana, the son of Dhritarashtra, was distracted and did not respond to Subala's son, though he spoke again and again.
अनेकाग्रं तु तं दृष्ट्वा शकुनिः प्रत्यभाषत। दुर्योधन कृतोमूलं निःश्वसन्निव गच्छसि
Seeing him so absorbed, Shakuni spoke: 'Duryodhana, you go forth sighing, your roots cut.'
दृष्ट्वेमां पृथिवीं कृत्स्नां युधिष्ठिरवशानुगाम्। जितामस्त्रप्रतापेन श्वेताश्वस्य महात्मनः
Having seen this entire earth under Yudhishthira's sway, conquered by the prowess of the great-souled one with white horses,
तं च यज्ञं तथाभूतं दृष्ट्वा पार्थस्य मातुल। यथा शक्रस्य देवेषु तथाभूतं महाद्युतेः
And having seen that sacrifice of Partha, O maternal uncle, like that of Shakra among the gods, belonging to the illustrious one,
अमर्षेण तु सम्पूर्णो दह्यमानो दिवानिशम्। शुचिशुक्रागमे काले शुष्ये तोयमिवाल्पकम्
Filled with resentment, burning day and night, he withers like a little water at the coming of the hot season.
पश्य सात्वतमुख्येन शिशुपालो निपातितः। न च तत्र पुमानासीत्कश्चित्तस्य पदानुगः
See, Shishupala was struck down by the foremost of the Satvatas, and there was not a single man there who followed in his steps.
दह्यमाना हि राजानः पाण्डवोत्थेन वह्निना। क्षान्तवन्तोऽपराधं ते को हि तत्क्षन्तुमर्हति
Indeed, the kings were scorched by the fire kindled by the Pandavas; they endured the offense—who could bear such a thing?
वासुदेवेन तत्कर्म यथाऽयुक्तं महत्कृतम्। सिद्धं च पाण्डुपुत्राणां प्रतापेन महात्मनाम्
That deed, though improper, was done by Vasudeva, and accomplished by the prowess of the great-souled sons of Pandu.
तथाहि रत्नन्यादाय विविधानि नृपा नृपम्। उपातिष्ठन्त कौन्येयं वैश्या इव करप्रदाः
Thus, bringing various jewels, the kings attended the son of Kunti like merchants paying tribute to a king.
श्रियं तथागतं दृष्ट्वा ज्वलन्तीमिव पाण्डवे। अमर्षवशमापन्नो दह्यामि न तथोचितः
Seeing that prosperity come to the Pandava, blazing as it were, I am overcome by envy and burn, which is not fitting.
वह्निमेव प्रवेक्ष्यामि भक्षयिष्यामि वा विषम्। अपो वापि प्रवेक्ष्यामिन हि शक्ष्यामि जीवितुम्
I will enter fire, or I will take poison, or I will enter water—for I cannot endure to live.
को हि नाम पुमांल्लोके मर्षयिष्यति सत्ववान्। सपत्नानृद्ध्यतो दृष्ट्वा हीनमात्मानमेव च
For what man of spirit in the world could bear to see his rivals prosper while he himself is diminished?
सोऽहं न स्त्री न चाप्यस्त्री न पुमान्नापुमानपि। योऽहं तां मर्षयाम्यद्य तादृशीं श्रियमागताम्
So I am neither woman nor not-woman, neither man nor not-man, who today endures such prosperity coming to them.
ईश्वरत्वं पृथिव्याश्च वसुमत्तां च तादृशीम्। यज्ञं च तादृशं दृष्ट्वा मादृशः को न संञ्ज्वरेत्
Seeing their lordship over the earth, such wealth, and such a sacrifice—who like me would not be inflamed?
अशक्तश्चैक एवाहं तामाहर्तुं नृपश्रियम्। सहायांश्च न पश्यामि तेन मृत्युं विचिन्तये
Alone, I am unable to seize that royal fortune, nor do I see any allies; therefore, I contemplate death.
दैवमेव परं मन्ये पौरुषं च निरर्थकम्। दृष्ट्वा कुन्तीसुते शुद्धां श्रियं तामहतां तथा
I consider fate supreme and effort useless, seeing the pure, unassailable prosperity of Kunti's son.
कृतो यत्नो मया पूर्वं विनाशे तस्य सौबल। तच्च सर्वमतिक्रम्य संवृद्धोऽप्स्विव पङ्गजम्
I made every effort before for his destruction, son of Subala, but all that was surpassed, and he has grown like a lotus in water.
न दैवं परं मन्ये पौरुषं च निरर्थकम्। धार्तराष्ट्राश्च हीयन्ते पार्था वर्धन्ति नित्यशः। कृष्णस्तु सुमनास्तेषां विवर्धयति सम्पदः
I do not consider fate supreme, nor effort useless; the sons of Dhritarashtra decline, while the Parthas ever prosper, and Krishna gladly increases their wealth.
सोऽहं श्रियं च तां दृष्ट्वा सभां तां च तथाविधाम्। रक्षिभिश्चावहासं तं परितप्ये यथाऽग्निना
Having seen that prosperity and such a splendid assembly, and the ridicule of the guards, I am tormented as if by fire.
अमर्षं च समाविष्टं धृतराष्ट्रे निवेदय
Report to Dhritarashtra that I am overcome with indignation.
दुर्योधन न तेऽमर्षः कार्यः प्रति युधिष्ठिरम्। भागधेयानि हि स्वानि पाण्डवा भुञ्जते सदा
Duryodhana, you should not harbor resentment against Yudhishthira; for the Pandavas always enjoy their rightful share.
विधानं विविधाकारं परं तेषां विधानतः। अनेकैरभ्युपायैश्च त्वया न शकिताः पुरा
Their arrangements are of many kinds, and by various means you have never been able to overcome them.
आरब्धा हि महाराज पुनः पुनररिन्दम। विमुक्ताश्च नरव्याघ्रा भगधेयपुरस्कृताः। `उत्साहवन्तः पुरुषा नावसीदन्ति कर्मसु
Indeed, O king, they have repeatedly begun undertakings and, freed by their destiny, those tiger-like men do not falter in their actions.
तैर्लब्धा द्रौपदी भार्या द्रुपदश्च सुतैः सह। सहायाः पृथिवीपाला वासुदेवश्च वीर्यवान्
By them, Draupadi was won as wife, Drupada along with his sons became allies, the kings of the earth are their supporters, and valiant Vasudeva as well.
लब्धश्चानभिभूतार्थैः पित्र्योंशः पृथिवीपते। विवृद्धस्तेजसा तेषां तत्र का परिदेवना
They have obtained their paternal share, O lord of the earth, with unconquerable wealth; their splendor has increased—what cause is there for lamentation?
धनञ्जयेन गाण्डीवमक्षय्यौ च महेषुधी। लब्धान्यस्त्राणि दिव्यानि तोषयित्वा हुताशनम्
By Dhananjaya, with the Gandiva bow and inexhaustible mighty arrows, divine weapons were obtained by pleasing the fire-god.
तेन कार्मुकमुख्येन बाहुवीर्येण चात्मनः। कृता वशे महीपालास्तत्र का परिदेवना
With that foremost bow and his own strength of arms, he subdued the kings; what cause is there for lamentation?
अग्निदाहान्मयं चापि मोक्षयित्वा स दानवम्। सभां तां कारयामास सव्यसाची परन्तपः
Having freed Maya from the fire, that destroyer of foes, Savyasachi, caused that assembly to be built.
