तत्र स्म यदि शक्तः स्यं पातयेऽहं वृकोदरम्। यदि कुर्यां समारम्भं भीमं हन्तुं नराधिप
There, if I had been able, I would have struck down Bhimasena; if I had made the attempt to kill Bhima, O king of men.
शिशुपाल इवास्माकं गतिः स्यान्नात्र संशयः। सपत्नेनावहासो मे स मां दहति भारत
Our fate would have been like that of Shishupala—of this there is no doubt; the mockery by my rival burns me, O Bharata.
पुनश्च तादृशीमेव वापीं जलजशालिनीम्। मत्वा शिलासमां तोये पतितोऽस्मि नराधिप
Again, thinking the same, I fell into a pond full of lotuses, believing the water to be solid stone, O king of men.
तत्र मां प्राहसत्कृष्णः पार्थेन सह सुस्वरम्। द्रौपदी च सह स्त्रीभिर्व्यथयन्ती मनो मम
There Krishna, together with Partha, laughed at me in a melodious voice; and Draupadi, along with the women, tormented my mind.
क्लिन्नवस्त्रस्य तु जले किङ्करा राजनोदिताः। ददुर्वासांसि मेऽन्यानि तच्च दुःखं परं मम
O King, when my clothes became wet in the water, the attendants ordered by the king gave me other garments, and that brought me great distress.
प्रलम्भं च शृणुष्वान्यद्वदतो मे नराधिप। अद्वारेण विनिर्गच्छन्द्वारसंस्थानरूपिणा। अभिहत्य शिलां भूयो ललाटेनास्मि विक्षतः
Hear also another hardship I endured, O ruler of men: as I was leaving by a side door, shaped like the main entrance, I struck my forehead against a stone and was wounded again.
तत्र मां यमजौ दूरादालोक्याभिहतं तदा। बाहुभिः परिगृह्णीतां शोचन्तौ सहितावुभौ
There, the twin sons of Yama saw me from afar, injured at that time, and both together, grieving, embraced me with their arms.
उवाच सहदेवस्तु तत्र मां विस्मयन्निव। इद द्वारं धार्तराष्ट्र मा गच्छेति पुनः पुनः
Then Sahadeva spoke to me there, as if in amazement: 'Do not go through this door, son of Dhritarashtra,' he said again and again.
भीमसेनेन तत्रोक्तो धृतराष्ट्रात्मजेति च। सम्बोध्य प्रहसित्वा च इतो द्वारं नराधिप
Bhimasena also addressed me there, calling me 'son of Dhritarashtra,' and, smiling after greeting me, said, 'This is the door, O ruler of men.'
नामधेयानि रत्नानां पुरस्तान्न श्रुतानि मे। यानि दृष्टानि मे तस्यां मनस्तपति तच्च मे
I had not heard before the names of the jewels that I saw there; my mind is troubled by what I saw in that place.
यन्मया पाण्डवोयानां दृष्टं तच्छृणु भारत। आहृतं भूमिपालैर्हि वसु मुख्यं ततस्ततः
Hear, O Bharata, what treasures of the Pandavas I saw: the foremost wealth brought there by kings from various lands.
नाविदं मूढमात्मानं दृष्ट्वाहं तदरेर्धनम्। फलतो भूमितो वाऽपि प्रतिपद्यस्व भारत
Seeing that wealth of the enemy, I did not consider myself ignorant or foolish; O Bharata, take what is gained from the fruit or from the earth.
और्णान्बैलान्वार्षदंशान् जातरूपपरिष्कृतान्। प्रावाराजिनमुख्यांश्च काम्भोजः प्रददौ बहून्
The king of the Kambojas gave many fine woolen blankets, those made from sheep and goats, adorned with gold, and excellent cloaks and skins.
अश्वांस्तित्तिरिकल्माषांस्त्रिशतं शुकनासिकान्। अष्ट्रवामीस्त्रिगर्ताश्च पुष्टाः पीलुशमीङ्गुदैः
Three hundred horses with parrot-shaped noses, of the Tittiri and Kalmasha breeds, and strong horses from Trigarta, nourished on pilu, sami, and inguda fruits.
गोपाः स्वीयेन सहितास्तदादाय चतुष्पदम्। वसातयोऽन्यद्द्रव्यं द्वारि तस्यावतस्थिरे
Cowherds, along with their own cattle, brought four-footed animals; other wealth and goods were stationed at his door.
कमण्डलूनुपादाय जातरूपमयञ्छिवान्। रत्नानि च हिरण्यं च सुवर्णं चैव केवलम्
Bringing water pots and auspicious items made of gold, as well as jewels, gold, and pure gold itself.
प्रीयमाणः प्रसन्नात्मा स्वयं स्वजनसंवृतः। त्रैखर्वो रथमुख्येशः पाण्डवाय न्यवेदयत्
Pleased and with a cheerful heart, surrounded by his own people, the lord of the foremost chariots, Traikharva, presented them to the Pandava himself.
यश्च स द्विजमुख्येन राज्ञः शङ्खो निवेदितः। प्रीत्या दत्तः कुविन्देन धर्मराजाय धीमते
And that conch, which was offered to the king by the foremost of Brahmins, was given with affection by Kuvinda to the wise Dharmaraja.
तं सर्वे भ्रातरो भ्रात्रे ददुः शङ्खं किरीटिने। तं प्रत्यगृह्णाद्बीभत्सुस्तोयजं हेममालिनम्
All the brothers gave that conch, belonging to their brother, to the diademed one; Arjuna accepted that water-born conch, adorned with gold.
चित्रं निष्कसहस्रेण भ्राजमानं स्वतेजसा। रुचिरं दर्शनीयं च पूजितं विश्वकर्मणा
Brilliant with its own radiance, adorned with a thousand gold coins, beautiful and pleasing to behold, it was crafted by Vishvakarman and honored.
अधारयच्च धर्मश्च तं नमस्य पुनः पुनः। योऽनादनेऽपि नदति स ननादाधिकं तदा
And Dharma himself wore it, bowing again and again; even when not sounded, it roared, and when blown, it thundered even more.
प्रणादाद्भूमिपास्तस्य पेतुर्हीनाः खतेजसा। धृष्टद्युम्नः पाण्डवाश्च सात्यकिः केशवोऽष्टमः
At the sound of that conch, the kings, deprived of their own splendor, fell down; Dhrishtadyumna, the Pandavas, Satyaki, and Kesava as the eighth.
सत्वेन स्वेन सम्पन्ना अन्योन्यप्रियकारिणः। विसञ्ज्ञान्भूमिपान्दृष्ट्वा मां च ते प्राहसंस्तदा
Endowed with their own virtue, acting kindly toward one another, when they saw the kings fallen unconscious and me as well, they laughed at that time.
ततः प्रहृष्टो बीभत्सुरददाद्धेमशृङ्गिणः। शताननडुहान्पञ्च द्विजमुख्याय भारत
Then Vibhatsu, delighted, gave to the foremost of Brahmins five hundred cows with golden horns, O Bharata.
सुमुखेन बलिर्मुख्यः प्रेषितोऽजातशत्रवे। कुविन्देन हिरण्यं च वासांसि विविधानि च
By Sumukha, the chief among the Bali-givers, gold and various garments were sent to Ajatasatru by Kuvinda.
काश्मीरराजो मार्द्वीकं शुद्धं च सरसं मधु। बलिं च कुत्स्नमादाय पाण्डवायाभ्युटपागमत्
The king of Kashmir, bringing pure and fresh honey as tribute, approached the Pandava with all his offerings.
यवना हयानुपादाय पार्वतीयान्मनोजवान्। आसनानि महार्हाणि कम्बलांश्च महाधनान्
The Yavanas brought swift mountain horses, costly seats, and valuable blankets.
नवान्सूक्ष्मांश्च हृद्यांश्च परार्थ्यान्सुप्रदर्शनान्। अन्यच्च विविधं रत्नं द्वारि ते न्यवतस्थिरे
They placed at your door new, fine, pleasing, and splendid garments, and also various kinds of gems intended for others.
श्रुतायुरपि कालिङ्गो मणिरत्नमनुत्तमम्। अङ्गः स्त्रियो दर्शनीया जातरूपविभूषिताः
Shrutayus, the king of Kalinga, brought an unsurpassed jewel, and Anga sent beautiful women adorned with gold.
वङ्गो जाम्बूनदमयान्पर्यङ्गाञ्छतशो नृप। दक्षिणात्सागराभ्याशात्प्रावारांश्च परश्शतम्
The king of Vanga sent hundreds of couches made of gold, and from the southern seashore, a hundred fine cloaks.
