भीमस्य वाक्ये तद्वदेवार्जुनस्य स्थितोऽहं वै यमयोश्चैवमेव। युधिष्ठिरं ते प्रवदन्त्वनीश- मथो दास्यान्मोक्षसे याज्ञसेनि
I stand firm in the words of Bhima, Arjuna, and the twins; they declare Yudhishthira powerless, and then you will release Draupadi, O Yajnaseni.
ईशो राजा पूर्वमासीद्ग्लहे नः कुन्तीसुतो धर्मराजो महात्मा। ईशस्त्वयं कस्य पराजितात्मा तज्जानीध्वं कुरवः सर्व एव
Previously, our king was the son of Kunti, the great-souled Dharmaraja; now, who is the lord, when he is defeated? All you Kurus, know this.
दुश्शासन निबोधेदं वचनं वै प्रभाषितम्। किमनेन चिरं वीर नयस्व द्रपदात्मजाम्। दासीभावेन भुङ्क्ष्व त्वं यथेष्टं कुरुनन्दन
Dushasana, heed these spoken words: why delay, O hero? Take the daughter of Drupada away; enjoy her as you wish in the manner of a slave, O joy of the Kurus.
ततो गान्धारराजस्य पुत्रः शकुनिरब्रवीत्। साधु कर्ण महाबाहो यथेष्टं क्रियतामिति
Then Shakuni, son of the king of Gandhara, said: Well done, Karna, mighty-armed one; let it be done as you wish.
ततो दुश्शासनस्तूर्णं द्रुपदस्य सुतां बलात्। प्रवेशयितुमारब्धः स चकर्ष दुरात्मवान्।। ततो विक्रोशति तदा पाञ्चाली वरवर्णिनी
Then Dushasana quickly began to drag the daughter of Drupada by force to bring her in; that wicked man pulled her, and then Panchali, of splendid complexion, cried out.
परित्रायस्व मां भीष्ण द्रोण द्रौणे तथा कृप। परित्रायस्व विदुर धर्मिष्ठो धर्मवत्सल
Save me, O Bhishma, Drona, Ashvatthama, and Kripa; save me, O Vidura, righteous and devoted to dharma.
धृतराष्ट्र महाराज परित्रायस्व वै स्नुषाम्। गान्धारि त्वं महाभागे सर्वज्ञे सर्वदर्शिनि। पिरत्रायस्व मां भीरुं सुयोधनभयार्दिताम्
Dhritarashtra, great king, save your daughter-in-law; Gandhari, O blessed one, all-knowing and all-seeing, save me, fearful and afflicted by Suyodhana.
त्वमार्ये वीरजननि किं मां पश्यसि यादवीम्। क्लिश्यमानामनार्येण न त्रायसिव वधूं स्वकाम्
O noble mother of heroes, why do you look upon me, a Yadava woman, suffering at the hands of the ignoble? Do not save your own daughter-in-law.
यदि लालप्यमानां मां न कश्चित्किञ्चिदब्रवीत्। हा हताऽस्मि सुमन्दात्मा सुयोधनवशं गता
If, while I cry out, no one says anything, alas, I am ruined, of weak spirit, fallen under the power of Suyodhana.
न वै पाण्डुर्नरपतिर्न धर्मो न च देवराट्। न चायुर्नाश्विनौ वाऽपि परित्रायन्ति वै स्नुषाम्।। धिक्कष्टं यदि जीवेयं मन्दभाग्या पतिव्रता
Neither the Pandu king, nor dharma, nor the king of the gods, nor life, nor the Ashvins save your daughter-in-law. Fie, how wretched, if I, of poor fortune and devoted to my husband, must live.
शृणोमि वाक्यं तव राजपुत्रि नेमे पार्थाः किञ्चिदपि ब्रुवन्ति। सा त्वं प्रियार्थं शृणु वाक्यमेत- द्यदुच्यते पापमतिः कृतघ्नः
I hear your words, princess, yet the sons of Pandu say nothing at all; so now, for your sake, listen to these words spoken by this wicked, ungrateful man.
सुयोधनः सानुचरः सुदुष्टः सहैव राजा निकृतः सूनुना च यद्येष वाचं महदुच्यमानां न श्रोष्यते पापमतिः सुदुष्टः
Suyodhana, with his followers, is thoroughly evil; the king, together with his son, is deceitful; if this wicked-minded one does not heed these grave words, he will remain thoroughly corrupt.
इत्येवमुक्त्वा द्रुपदस्य पुत्रीं क्षत्ताऽब्रवीद्धृतराष्ट्रस्य पुत्रम्
Having spoken thus to the daughter of Drupada, the charioteer addressed the son of Dhritarashtra.
मा क्लिश्यतां वै द्रुपदस्य पुत्रीं मा त्वं चरीं द्रक्ष्यसि राजपुत्र
Do not torment the daughter of Drupada; you, prince, will not see happiness.
यद्येवं त्वं महाराज सङ्क्लेशयसि द्रौपदीम्। अचिरेणैव कालेन पुत्रस्ते सह मन्त्रिभिः। गमिष्यति क्षयं पापः पाण्डवक्षयकारणात्
If you, O great king, thus afflict Draupadi, then soon, along with his counselors, your son—the sinner—will meet destruction because of the wrong done to the Pandavas.
भीमार्जुनाभ्यां क्रुद्धाभ्यां माद्रीपुत्रद्वयेन च। तस्मान्निवारय सुतं मा विनाशं विचिन्तय
By Bhima and Arjuna, enraged, and by the two sons of Madri as well—therefore restrain your son; do not contemplate ruin.
एतच्छुत्वा मन्दबुद्धिर्नोत्तरं किञ्चिदब्रवीत्। ततो दुर्योधनस्तत्र दैवमोहबलात्कृतः
Hearing this, the dull-witted one gave no reply; then Duryodhana, there, compelled by the power of fate and delusion—
अचिन्त्य क्षत्तुर्वचनं हर्षेणायतलोचनः। ऊरू दर्शयते पापो द्रौपद्या वै मुहुर्मुहुः
Ignoring the charioteer's words, his eyes wide with delight, the wicked Duryodhana repeatedly displayed his thighs to Draupadi.
ऊरौ सन्दर्श्यमाने तु निरीक्ष्य तु सुयोधनम्। वृकोदरस्तदालोक्य नेत्रे चोल्फाल्य लोहिते
As he showed his thighs, Bhima, observing Suyodhana, gazed at him, his eyes reddened and brows furrowed.
एतत्समीक्ष्यात्मनि चावमानं नियम्य मन्युं बलनान्स मानी। राजानुजः संसदि कौरवाणां विनिष्क्रमन्वाक्यमुवाच भीमः
Seeing this insult to himself, restraining his anger with effort, the proud younger brother of the king, in the Kaurava assembly, rose and spoke these words—Bhima:
अहं दुर्योधनं हन्ता कर्णं हन्ता धनञ्जयः। शकुनिं चाक्षकितवं सहदेवो हनिष्यति
I shall slay Duryodhana, and Dhananjaya will slay Karna; Sahadeva will kill Shakuni, the master of dice.
दुश्शासनस्य रुधिरं पास्यामि मृगराडिव
I will drink the blood of Dushasana, as a lion drinks.
भीमसेन न ते सन्ति येषां वैरं त्वया सह। नन्दा गृहेषु न बुद्ध्यन्ते महद्भयम्
Bhimasena, those who bear enmity with you do not prosper; their families, in their homes, do not perceive the great danger.
नैव वाचा व्यवसितं भीम विज्ञायते सताम्। यदि स्थास्यन्ति सङ्ग्रामे क्षत्रधर्मेण वै सह
The resolve of the righteous, Bhima, is not revealed by words; if they stand in battle, upholding the duty of warriors—
दुर्योधनस्य कर्णस्य शकुनेश्च दुरात्मनः। दुश्शासनचतुर्थानां भूमिः पास्यति शोणितम्
The earth will drink the blood of Duryodhana, Karna, the evil Shakuni, and the fourth, Dushasana.
असूयितारं वक्तारं प्रहृष्टानां दुरात्मनाम्। भीमसेन नियोगात्ते हन्ताऽहं कर्णमाहवे
Of those evil ones who, out of envy, speak boastfully and rejoice, by Bhimasena's command, I shall slay Karna in battle.
कर्णं कर्णानुगांश्चैव रणे हन्ताऽस्मि पत्रिभिः। ये चान्ये विप्रयोत्स्यन्ति बुद्धिमोहेन मां नृपाः। तान्स्म सर्वञ्छितैर्बाणैर्नेताऽस्मि यमसादनम्
I will slay Karna and his followers in battle with arrows; and any other kings who, deluded in judgment, oppose me—I will send them all, pierced by sharp shafts, to the abode of Yama.
चलेद्वि हिमवान्स्थानान्निष्प्रभः स्याद्दिवाकरः। शैत्यं सोमात्प्रणश्येत मत्सत्यं विचलेद्यदि
The Himalayas might move from their place, the sun might lose its brilliance, the moon might lose its coolness, but my word will not waver.
उत्युक्तवति पार्थे तु श्रीमान्माद्रवतीसुतः। प्रगृह्य विपुलं बाहुं सहदेवः प्रतापवान्
When Partha had spoken thus, the illustrious son of Madri, the mighty Sahadeva, raised his broad arm.
सौबलस्य वधप्रेप्सुरिदं वचनमब्रवीत्। क्रोधसंरक्तनयनो निश्वस्य च मुहुर्मुहुः
Desiring the death of the son of Subala, with eyes reddened by anger and breathing heavily again and again, he spoke these words:
