1.133.1
कुन्तीपुत्रेषु जातेषु धृतराष्ट्रात्मजेषु च ।
मद्रराजसुता पाण्डुं रहो वचनमब्रवीत् ॥ १.१३३.१ ॥
After the sons of Kuntī and the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra had been born, the daughter of the Madra king spoke these words to Pāṇḍu in private.
1.133.2
न मेऽस्ति त्वयि सन्तापो विगुणेऽपि परन्तप ।
नावरत्वे वरार्हायाः स्थित्वा चानघ नित्यदा ॥ १.१३३.२ ॥
O scorcher of foes, I feel no distress toward you, even though you lack virtues; and, O sinless one, being always the wife of one worthy of the best, I feel no grief even at a lower standing.
1.133.3
गान्धार्याश्चैव नृपते जातं पुत्रशतं तथा ।
श्रुत्वा न मे तथा दुःखमभवत्कुरुनन्दन ॥ १.१३३.३ ॥
O king, even on hearing that Gāndhārī had given birth to a hundred sons, I felt no such grief, O joy of the Kurus.
1.133.4
इदं तु मे महद्दुःखं तुल्यतायामपुत्रता ।
दिष्ट्या त्विदानीं भर्तुर्मे कुन्त्यामप्यस्ति सन्ततिः ॥ १.१३३.४ ॥
But this is my great sorrow, that though we stand equal, I have no sons; fortunately, now my husband's offspring exist in Kuntī as well.
1.133.5
यदि त्वपत्यसन्तानं कुन्तिराजसुता मयि ।
कुर्यादनुग्रहो मे स्यात्तव चापि हितं भवेत् ॥ १.१३३.५ ॥
If Kuntī, the daughter of the King of Kunti, would do me the favour of raising offspring for me, it would be a kindness to me and would also benefit you.
1.133.6
संरम्भो हि सपत्नीत्वाद्वक्तुं कुन्तिसुतां प्रति ।
यदि तु त्वं प्रसन्नो मे स्वयमेनां प्रचोदय ॥ १.१३३.६ ॥
Because we are co-wives, I am reluctant to speak of this to Kuntī's daughter; if you are pleased with me, urge her yourself.
1.133.7
ममाप्येष सदा माद्रि हृद्यर्थः परिवर्तते ।
न तु त्वां प्रसहे वक्तुमिष्टानिष्टविवक्षया ॥ १.१३३.७ ॥
This aim, too, always turns in my heart, Mādrī. But I do not dare to speak it to you, from wishing to say what is pleasing and what is displeasing.
1.133.8
तव त्विदं मतं मत्वा प्रयतिष्याम्यतः परम् ।
मन्ये ध्रुवं मयोक्ता सा वचनं प्रतिपत्स्यते ॥ १.१३३.८ ॥
Having taken your wish to heart, I shall make an effort from now on. I think she will surely accept this request when I make it.
1.133.9
ततः कुन्तीं पुनः पाण्डुर्विविक्त इदमब्रवीत् ।
अनुगृह्णीष्व कल्याणि मद्रराजसुतामपि।
कुलस्य मम सन्तानं लोकस्य च कुरु प्रियम् ॥ १.१३३.९ ॥
Then Pāṇḍu again spoke this to Kuntī in private: "Auspicious one, show your favour also to the daughter of the king of the Madras. Do what is dear to my family's line and to the world."
1.133.10
मम चापिण्डनाशाय पूर्वेषां च महात्मनाम् ।
मत्प्रियार्थं च कल्याणि कुरु कल्याणमुत्तमम् ॥ १.१३३.१० ॥
Auspicious one, so that the offerings of cakes to me and to the great-souled ancestors may not cease, and for the sake of what is dear to me, do this supreme good deed.
1.133.11
यशसोऽर्थाय चैव त्वं कुरु कर्म सुदुष्करम् ।
प्राप्याधिपत्यमिन्द्रेण यज्ञैरिष्टं यशोऽर्थिना ॥ १.१३३.११ ॥
For the sake of fame, do this exceedingly difficult deed, as Indra, desiring fame, obtained lordship and worshipped through sacrifices.
1.133.12
तथा मन्त्रविदो विप्रास्तपस्तप्त्वा सुदुष्करम् ।
गुरूनभ्युपगच्छन्ति यशसोऽर्थाय भामिनि ॥ १.१३३.१२ ॥
So too, brahmins who know the mantras, having performed exceedingly difficult austerity for the sake of fame, approach their teachers, O lady.
1.133.13
तथा राजर्षयः सर्वे ब्राह्मणाश्च तपोधनाः ।
चक्रुरुच्चावचं कर्म यशसोऽर्थाय दुष्करम् ॥ १.१३३.१३ ॥
Likewise all the royal sages and the brahmins whose wealth is austerity performed various difficult deeds for the sake of fame.
1.133.14
सा त्वं माद्रीं प्लवेनैव तारयैनामनिन्दिते ।
अपत्यसंविधानेन परां कीर्तिमवाप्नुहि ॥ १.१३३.१४ ॥
O blameless one, carry Mādrī across just as with a raft; by arranging offspring, obtain supreme fame.
1.133.15
धर्मं वै धर्मशास्त्रोक्तं यथा वदसि तत्तथा ।
तस्मादनुग्रहं तस्याः करोमि कुरुनन्दन ॥ १.१३३.१५ ॥
As you describe the dharma taught in the treatises of dharma, so it is; therefore, O delight of the Kurus, I show her this favor.
1.133.16
एवमुक्ताऽब्रवीन्मार्द्रीं सकृच्चिन्तय दैवतम् ।
तस्मात्ते भविताऽपत्यमनुरूपमसंशयम् ॥ १.१३३.१६ ॥
Thus addressed, she said to Mādrī: "Think once upon a god; therefore you will undoubtedly have a suitable offspring."
1.133.17
ततो मन्त्रे कृते तस्मिन्विधिदृष्टेन कर्मणा ।
ततो राजसुता स्नाता शयने संविवेश ह ॥ १.१३३.१७ ॥
Then, when the mantra had been recited and the rite performed as prescribed, the king's daughter bathed and lay down upon the bed.
1.133.18
ततो माद्री विचार्यैका जगाम मनसाऽश्विनौ ।
तावागम्य सुतौ तस्यां जनयामासतुर्यमौ।
नकुलं सहदेवं च रूपेणाप्रतिमौ भुवि ॥ १.१३३.१८ ॥
Then Mādrī, having considered, alone and in her mind went to the Aśvins; they came and caused two sons to be born in her — the twins Nakula and Sahadeva, peerless in beauty on earth.
1.133.19
तथैव तावपि यमौ वागुवाचाशरीरिणी ।
धर्मतो भक्तितश्चैव शीलतो विनयैस्तथा ॥ १.१३३.१९ ॥
Likewise, a bodiless voice spoke of those twin sons, saying it was because of dharma, devotion, good conduct and humility.
1.133.20
सत्वरूपगुणोपेतौ भवतोऽत्यश्विनाविति ।
मासते तेजसाऽत्यर्थं रूपद्रविणसंपदा ॥ १.१३३.२० ॥
"You two are the Aśvins, endowed with excellence, beauty and virtues" — so they dwelt, exceedingly radiant, with beauty and wealth.
1.133.21
नामानि चक्रिरे तेषां शतशृङ्गनिवासिनः ।
भक्त्या च कर्मणा चैव तथाऽऽशीर्भिर्विशांपते ॥ १.१३३.२१ ॥
O lord of men, the sages dwelling on Śatasṛṅga gave them their names, through devotion, deeds and blessings.
1.133.22
ज्येष्ठं युधिष्ठिरेत्येवं भीमसेनेति मध्यमम् ।
अर्जुनेति तृतीयं च कुन्तीपुत्रानकल्पयन् ॥ १.१३३.२२ ॥
They named the eldest Yudhiṣṭhira, the middle one Bhīmasena, and the third Arjuna — thus they named the sons of Kuntī.
1.133.23
पूर्वजं नकुलेत्येवं सहदेवेति चापरम् ।
माद्रीपुत्रावकथयंस्ते विप्राः प्रीतमानसाः ॥ १.१३३.२३ ॥
The elder was called Nakula, the other Sahadeva — so the brahmins, with gladdened minds, named the sons of Mādrī.
1.133.24
अनुसंवत्सरं जाता अपि ते कुरुसत्तमाः ।
पाण्डुपुत्रा व्यराजन्त पञ्चसंवत्सरा इव ॥ १.१३३.२४ ॥
Though born year by year, those best of the Kurus, the sons of Pāṇḍu, shone forth like five-year-old boys.

1.133.26
मुदं परमिकां लेभे ननन्द च नराधिपः ।
ऋषीणामपि सर्वेषां शतशृङ्गनिवासिनाम् ॥ १.१३३.२६ ॥
The lord of men obtained supreme joy and rejoiced; and so did all the sages who dwell on Śatasṛṅga.
1.133.27
प्रिया बभूवुस्तासां च तथैव मुनियोषिताम् ।
कुन्तीमथ पुनः पाण्डुर्माद्र्यर्थे समचोदयत् ॥ १.१३३.२७ ॥
They became beloved, and so did the wives of the sages. Then Pāṇḍu urged Kuntī again, for Mādrī's sake.
1.133.28
तमुवाच पृथा राजन् रहस्युक्ता तदा सती ।
उक्ता सक्वद्द्वन्द्वमेषा लेभे तेनास्मि वञ्चिता ॥ १.१३३.२८ ॥
O king, Pṛthā, the virtuous one, addressed in private, then said to him: "Once I obtained this pair by a summons, and by that I have been deceived."
1.133.29
बिभेम्यस्याः परिभवात्कुस्त्रीणां गतिरिदृशी ।
नाज्ञासिषमहं मूढा द्वन्द्वाह्वाने फलद्वयम् ॥ १.१३३.२९ ॥
"I fear her humiliation; such is the course of wicked women. Foolish, I did not know the two results when I summoned that pair."
1.133.30

एवं पाण्डोः सुताः पञ्च देवदत्ता महाबलाः ॥ १.१३३.३० ॥
"Therefore let me not be appointed again; let this be my boon." Thus were the five sons of Pāṇḍu, given by the gods, born of great strength.

संभूताः कीर्तिमन्तश्च कुरुवंशविवर्धनाः ।
शुभलक्षणसंपन्नाः सोमवत्प्रियदर्शनाः ॥ १.१३३.३१ ॥
Born renowned, increasers of the Kuru lineage, endowed with auspicious marks, pleasing to behold like the moon.
1.133.32

सिंहग्रीवा मनुष्येन्द्रा ववृधुर्देवविक्रमाः ॥ १.१३३.३२ ॥
Lion-proud great archers, walking with a lion's stride, lion-necked lords of men, they grew, of godlike valor.
