नानुसस्रुर्न चाजघ्नुर्नोचुः किंचिच्च दारुणम्। स्वमेव शिबिरं जग्मुः क्षत्रियाः शरविक्षताः
They did not pursue, nor did they strike, nor utter any harsh word; the Kṣatriyas, wounded by arrows, went to their own camp.
परेऽप्यभिययुर्हृष्टाः पुरं पौरसुखावहाः। मुहूर्तमभवद्युद्धं तेषां वै पाण्डवैः सह
The others, too, rejoicing, entered the city, bringing happiness to its people; their battle with the Pāṇḍavas lasted only a moment.
यावत्तद्युद्धमभवन्महद्देवासुरोपमम्। तावदेवाभवच्छान्तं निवृत्ता वै महारथाः
As long as that great battle, like one between gods and asuras, lasted, so long did it continue; then it ceased, and the mighty warriors withdrew.
सुव्रतं चक्रिरे सर्वे सुवृतामब्रुवन्वधूम्। कृतार्थं द्रुपदं चोचुर्धृष्टद्युम्नं च पार्षतम्
All praised the virtuous conduct, and spoke approvingly of the bride; they declared Drupada and Dhrishtadyumna to have achieved their purpose.
शकुनिः सिन्धुराजश्च कर्णदुर्योधनावपि। तेषां तदाभवद्दुःखं हृदि वाचा तु नाब्रुवन्
Shakuni, the king of Sindhu, Karna, and Duryodhana—grief arose in their hearts, but they did not express it in words.
ततः प्रयाता राजानः सर्व एव यथागतम्। धार्तराष्ट्रा हि ते सर्वे गता नागपुरं तदा
Then all the kings departed as they had come; all the sons of Dhritarashtra went to Nagapura at that time.
प्रागेव पूर्निरोधात्तु पाण्डवैरश्वसादिनः। प्रेषिता गच्छतारिष्टानस्मानाख्यात शौरये
Even before the enclosure was cleared, the Pandavas, mounted on horses, sent messengers ahead to inform Shouri of the events.
तेऽचिरेणैव कालेन संप्राप्ता यादवीं पुरीम्। ऊचुः संकर्षणोपेन्द्रौ वचनं वचनक्षमौ
In a short time, they reached the city of the Yadavas and spoke words to Sankarshana and Upendra, who were patient in speech.
कुशलं पाण्डवाः सर्वानाहुः स्मान्धकवृष्णयः। आत्मनश्चाहतानाहुर्विमुक्ताञ्जातुषाद्गृहात्
The Andhaka-Vrishnis asked after the welfare of all the Pandavas, and inquired about themselves, freed from the house of lac.
समाजे द्रौपदीं लब्धामाहू राजीवलोचनाम्। आत्मनः सदृशीं सर्वैः शीलवृत्तसमाधिभिः
In the assembly, they spoke of Draupadi, lotus-eyed, won as a bride, worthy of themselves in every way—by all, for her character, conduct, and composure.
तच्छ्रुत्वा वचनं कृष्णस्तानुवाचोत्तरं वचः। सर्वमेतदहं जाने वधात्तस्य तु रक्षसः
Hearing these words, Krishna replied to them: 'I know all this, including the slaying of that Rakshasa.'
तत उद्योजयामास माधवश्चतुरङ्गिणीम्। सेनामुपानयत्तूर्णं पाञ्चालनगरीं प्रति
Then Madhava ordered the fourfold army to be made ready, and quickly led it towards the city of the Panchalas.
ततः संकर्षणश्चैव केशवश्च महाबलः। यादवैः सह सर्वैश्च पाण्डवानभिजग्मतुः
Then Sankarshana and mighty Kesava, together with all the Yadavas, went to the Pandavas.
पितृष्वसारं संपूज्य नत्वा चैव तु यादवीम्। द्रौपदीं भूषणैः शुभ्रैर्भूषयित्वा यथाविधि
Honoring their paternal aunt and bowing to the Yadavi, they adorned Draupadi with splendid ornaments, as was proper.
पाण्डवान्हर्षयित्वा तु पूजयामासतुश्च तान्। न्यायतः पूजितौ राज्ञा द्रुपदेन महात्मना
After gladdening the Pandavas, they honored them as well; and, in turn, they were duly honored by the great-souled king Drupada.
यादवाः पूजिताः सर्वे पाण्डवैश्च महात्मभिः। रेमिरे पाण्डवैः सार्धं ते पाञ्चालपुरे तदा
All the Yadavas were honored by the noble Pandavas, and they rejoiced together with the Pandavas in the city of the Panchalas at that time.
वृत्ते स्वयंवरे चैव राजानः सर्व एव ते। यथागतं विप्रजग्मुर्विदित्वा पाण्डवान्वृतान्
When the svayamvara was concluded, all the kings departed as they had come, having learned that the Pandavas had been chosen.
अथ दुर्योधनो राजा विमना भ्रातृभिः सह। अश्वत्थाम्ना मातुलेन कर्णेन च कृपेण च
Then King Duryodhana, dejected, departed with his brothers, Ashvatthama, his maternal uncle, Karna, and Kripa.
विनिवृत्तो वृतं दृष्ट्वा द्रौपद्या श्वेतवाहनम्। तं तु दुःशासनोऽव्रीडो मन्दंमन्दमिवाब्रवीत्
Having seen the white-horsed one chosen by Draupadi, Duhshasana, unashamed, spoke slowly to him.
यद्यसौ ब्राह्मणो न स्याद्विन्देत द्रौपदीं न सः। न हि तं तत्त्वतो राजन्वेद कश्चिद्धनंजयम्
'If he were not a Brahmin, he would not have won Draupadi; for, O king, no one truly knows Dhananjaya.'
दैवं च परमं मन्ये पौरुषं चाप्यनर्थकम्। धिगस्तु पौरुषं मन्त्रं यद्धरन्तीह पाण्डवाः
I consider fate to be supreme, and human effort to be fruitless; shame on human effort and counsel, since the Pāṇḍavas carry them off here.
बध्वा चक्षूंषि नः पार्था राज्ञां च द्रुपदात्मजाम्। उद्वाह्य राज्ञां तैर्न्यस्तो वामः पादः पृथासुतैः
The sons of Pṛthā bound our eyes and, after marrying the daughter of Drupada, the king, placed their left foot upon us kings.
विमुक्ताः कथमेतेन जतुवेश्मविर्भुजः। अस्माकं पौरुषं सत्वं बुद्धिश्चापि गता ततः
How did they escape from the house of lac, those eaters of food? Our strength, courage, and intelligence have all departed because of this.
वयं हता मातुलाद्य विश्वस्य च पुरोचनम्। अदग्ध्वा पाण्डवानेतान्स्वयं दग्धो हुताशने
Today, uncle, we are destroyed, along with Purocana, for without burning these Pāṇḍavas, he himself was burned by the consuming fire.
मत्तो मातुल मन्येऽहं पाण्डवा बुद्धिमत्तराः। तेषां नास्ति भयं मृत्योर्मुक्तानां जतुवेश्मनः
Uncle, I think the Pāṇḍavas are more intelligent than I am; for those who escaped the house of lac, there is no fear of death.
एवं संभाषमाणास्ते निन्दन्तश्च पुरोचनम्। पञ्चपुत्रां किरातीं च विदुरं च महामतिम्
Thus, as they spoke, blaming Purocana, they also mentioned the woman with five sons, the hunter woman, and Vidura, the wise.
विविशुर्हास्तिनपुरं दीना विगतचेतसः
Downcast and their minds disturbed, they entered Hastinapura.
त्रस्ता विगतसंकल्पा दृष्ट्वा पार्थान्महौजसः। मुक्तान्हव्यभुजश्चैव संयुक्तान्द्रुपदेन च
Frightened and their resolve broken, they saw the mighty Pārthas, freed from the fire, united with Drupada.
धृष्टद्युम्नं तु संचिन्त्य तथैव च शिखण्डिनम्। द्रुपदस्यात्मजांश्चान्यान्सर्वयुद्धविशारदान्
Thinking of Dhṛṣṭadyumna, and likewise Śikhaṇḍin, and Drupada's other sons, all skilled in battle,
विदुरस्त्वथ ताञ्श्रुत्वा द्रौपद्या पाण्डवान्वृतान्। व्रीडितान्धार्तराष्ट्रांश्च भग्नदर्पानुपागतान्
Then Vidura, having heard that the Pāṇḍavas had been chosen by Draupadī, and that the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra had returned humbled and shamed,
