1.206.1
गत्वा तु तां भार्गवकर्मशालां ।
पार्थौ पृथां प्राप्य महानुभावौ।
तां याज्ञसेनीं परमप्रतीतौ ।
भिक्षेत्यथावेदयतां नराग्र्यौ ॥ १.२०६.१ ॥
Having gone to that workshop of the Bhārgava, the two Pārthas, greatly powerful, reached Pṛthā, and very pleased, the two best of men announced: 'It is alms.'
1.206.2
कुटीगता सा त्वनवेक्ष्य पुत्रौ ।
प्रोवाच भुङ्क्तेति समेत्य सर्वे।
पश्चाच्च कुन्ती प्रसमीक्ष्य कृष्णां ।
कष्टं मया भाषितमित्युवाच ॥ १.२०६.२ ॥
Being in the hut, without looking at her sons, she said, 'Eat it, all of you together.' Afterwards Kuntī, looking closely at Kṛṣṇā, said: 'A wrong has been spoken by me.'
1.206.3
साऽधर्मभीता परिचिन्तयन्ती ।
तां याज्ञसेनीं परमप्रतीताम्।
पाणौ गृहीत्वोपजगाम कुन्ती ।
युधिष्ठिरं वाक्यमुवाच चेदम् ॥ १.२०६.३ ॥
Kuntī, fearful of unrighteousness and reflecting deeply, took by the hand that very pleased Yājñasenī, approached Yudhiṣṭhira, and spoke these words.
1.206.4
इयं तु कन्या द्रुपदस्य राज्ञ-
स्तवानुजाभ्यां मयि संनिसृष्टा।
यथोचितं पुत्र मयाऽपि चोक्तं ।
समेत्य भुङ्क्तेति नृप प्रमादात् ॥ १.२०६.४ ॥
This maiden is the daughter of King Drupada; your two younger brothers entrusted her to me. Son, I too rightly said, 'Eat it together'; O king, it was said through carelessness.
1.206.5
मया कथं नानृतमुक्तमद्य ।
भवेत्कुरूणामृषभ ब्रवीहि।
पञ्चालराजस्य सुतामधर्मो ।
न चोपवर्तेत न विभ्रमेच्च ॥ १.२०६.५ ॥
How could a falsehood not have been spoken by me today? O bull of the Kurus, tell me. So that unrighteousness may not befall the daughter of the king of the Pāñcālas, and she may not fall into confusion.
1.206.6
स एवमुक्तो मतिमान्नृवीरो ।
मात्रा मुहूर्तं तु विचिन्त्य राजा।
कुन्तीं समाश्वास्य कुरुप्रवीरो ।
धनञ्जयं वाक्यमिदं बभाषे ॥ १.२०६.६ ॥
Thus addressed by his mother, the wise hero among men, the king paused for a moment in thought, comforted Kuntī, and spoke these words to Dhanañjaya, the foremost hero of the Kurus.
1.206.7
त्वया जिता फाल्गुन याज्ञसेनी ।
त्वयैव शोभिष्यति राजपुत्री।
प्रज्वाल्यतामग्निरमित्रसाह ।
गृहाण पाणिं विधिवत्त्वमस्याः ॥ १.२०६.७ ॥
O Phālguna, you alone have won Yājñasenī; this princess will shine with you alone. O subduer of enemies, let the fire be kindled, and take her hand according to the rite.
1.206.8
मा मां नरेन्द्र त्वमधर्मभाजं ।
कृथा न धर्मोऽयमशिष्टदृष्टः।
भवान्निवेश्यः प्रथमं ततोऽयं ।
भीमो महाबाहुरचिन्त्यकर्मा ॥ १.२०६.८ ॥
O lord of men, do not make me a sharer in unrighteousness. This is not the dharma that the unrefined regard as such. You should be the first to take her; after you, this mighty-armed Bhīma of inconceivable deeds.
1.206.9
अहं ततो नकुलोऽनन्तरं मे ।
पश्चादयं सहदेवस्तरस्वी।
वृकोदरोऽहं च यमौ च राज-
न्नियं च कन्या भवतो नियोज्याः ॥ १.२०६.९ ॥
Then I, after me Nakula, then this swift Sahadeva, I, Vṛkodara, the twins, O king, and this maiden are to be entrusted to you.
1.206.10
एवं गते यत्करणीयमत्र ।
धर्म्यं यशस्यं कुरु तद्विचिन्त्य।
पाञ्चालराजस्य हितं च यत्स्या-
त्प्रशाधि सर्वे स्म वशे स्थितास्ते ॥ १.२०६.१० ॥
Since matters stand thus, consider well what is to be done here, and do what is righteous and glorious, and what is good for the king of the Pañcālas. Govern; we all stand under your control.
1.206.11
जिष्णोर्वचनमाज्ञाय भक्तिस्नेहसमन्वितम् ।
दृष्टिं निवेशयामासुः पाञ्चाल्यां पाण्डुनन्दनाः ॥ १.२०६.११ ॥
Understanding Jiṣṇu's (Arjuna's) word, filled with devotion and affection, the sons of Pāṇḍu fixed their gaze upon the Pāñcāla princess.
1.206.12
दृष्ट्वा ते तत्र पश्यन्तीं सर्वे कृष्णां यशस्विनीम् ।
संप्रेक्ष्यान्योन्यमासीना हृदयैस्तामधारयन् ॥ १.२०६.१२ ॥
Gazing at the glorious Kṛṣṇā there, all of them, sitting looking at one another, held her in their hearts.
1.206.13
तेषां तु द्रौपदीं दृष्ट्वा सर्वेषाममितौजसाम् ।
संप्रमथ्येन्द्रियग्रामं प्रादुरासीन्मनोभवः ॥ १.२०६.१३ ॥
And seeing Draupadī, the senses of all those of boundless energy were stirred, and Manobhava (Desire) arose.
1.206.14
काम्यं हि रूपं पाञ्चाल्या विधात्रा विहितं स्वयम् ।
बभूवाधिकमन्याभ्यः सर्वभूतमनोहरम् ॥ १.२०६.१४ ॥
The lovely beauty of the Pāñcāla princess, fashioned by the Creator himself, surpassed that of all other women and captivated the minds of all beings.
1.206.15
तेषामाकारभावज्ञः कुन्तीपुत्रो युधिष्ठिरः ।
द्वैपायनवचः कृत्स्नं सस्मार मनुजर्षभः ॥ १.२०६.१५ ॥
Yudhiṣṭhira, son of Kuntī, the bull among men, who understood their inner states from their bearing, recalled all of Dvaipāyana's words.
1.206.16
अब्रवीत्सहितान्भ्रातॄन्मिथो भेदभयान्नृपः ।
सर्वेषां द्रौपदी भार्या भविष्यति हि नः शुभा ॥ १.२०६.१६ ॥
Fearing discord, the king spoke to his brothers, who were gathered together: "Draupadī will be the auspicious wife of all of us."
1.206.17
सताऽपि शक्तेन च केशवेन ।
सज्यं धनुस्तन्न कृतं किमर्थम्।
विद्धं च लक्ष्यं न च कस्य हेतो-
राचक्ष्व तन्मे द्विपदां वरिष्ठ ॥ १.२०६.१७ ॥
Though Keśava was able, why was that bow not strung, and why was the target not pierced? Best of bipeds, tell me the reason for this.
1.206.18
शक्तेन कृष्णेन च कार्मुकं त-
न्नारोपितं ज्ञातुकामेन पार्थान्।
परिश्रवादेव बभूव लोके ।
जीवन्ति पार्था इति निश्चयोऽस्य ॥ १.२०६.१८ ॥
Kṛṣṇa too, though able, did not string that bow, wishing to know the sons of Pṛthā. From rumour alone arose the conviction in the world that the Pārthas were alive.
1.206.19
अन्यानशक्तान्नृपतीन्समीक्ष्य ।
स्वयंवरे कार्मुकेणोत्तमेन।
धनञ्जयस्तद्धनुरेकवीरः ।
सज्यं करोतीत्यभिवीक्ष्य कृष्णः ॥ १.२०६.१९ ॥
Seeing the other kings unable at the svayaṃvara, Kṛṣṇa observed that Dhanañjaya, the sole hero, would string that excellent bow.
1.206.20
इति स्वयं वासुदेवो विचिन्त्य ।
पार्थान्विवित्सन्विविधैरुपायैः।
न तद्धनुः सज्यमियेप कर्तुं ।
बभूवुरस्येष्टतमा हि पार्थाः ॥ १.२०६.२० ॥
Thus Vāsudeva himself reflected, and wishing to learn of the Pārthas by various means, he did not desire to string that bow; for the Pārthas were most dear to him.
1.206.21
भ्रातुर्वचस्तत्प्रसमीक्ष्य सर्वे ।
ज्येष्ठस्य पाण्डोस्तनयास्तदानीम्।
तमेवार्थं ध्यायमाना मनोभिः ।
सर्वे च ते तस्थुरदीनसत्वाः ॥ १.२०६.२१ ॥
Having well considered their brother's word, all the eldest sons of Pāṇḍu, meditating in their minds on that very meaning, stood there then, undaunted in spirit.
1.206.22
वृष्णिप्रवीरस्तु कुरुप्रवीरा-
नाशंसमानः सहरौहिणेयः।
जगाम तां भार्गवकर्मशालां ।
यत्रासते ते पुरुषप्रवीराः ॥ १.२०६.२२ ॥
Kṛṣṇa, foremost of the Vṛṣṇis, wishing to greet the foremost of the Kurus, went together with Rauhiṇeya to that workshop of the Bhārgavas where those foremost of men were seated.
1.206.23
तत्रोपविष्टं पृथुदीर्घबाहुं ।
ददर्श कृष्णः सहरौहिणेयः।
अजातशत्रुं परिवार्य तांश्चा-
प्युपोपविष्टाञ्ज्वलनप्रकाशान् ॥ १.२०६.२३ ॥
There Kṛṣṇa saw, together with Rauhiṇeya, Yudhiṣṭhira the unconquered enemy, broad and long-armed, seated; and also those seated around him, blazing like fire.
1.206.24
ततोऽब्रवीद्वासुदेवोऽभिगम्य ।
कुन्तीसुतं धर्मभृतां वरिष्ठम्।
कृष्णोऽहमस्मीति निपीड्य पादौ ।
युधिष्ठिरस्याजमीढस्य राज्ञः ॥ १.२०६.२४ ॥
Then Vāsudeva, approaching the son of Kuntī, the best of those who uphold dharma, said: 'I am Kṛṣṇa'; and he pressed the feet of King Yudhiṣṭhira of the Ajamīḍha line.
1.206.25
तथैव तस्याप्यनु रौहिणेय-
स्तौ चापि हृष्टाः कुरवोऽभ्यनन्दन।
पितृष्वसुश्चापि यदुप्रवीरा-
वगृह्णतां भारतमुख्य पादौ ॥ १.२०६.२५ ॥
In the same way Rauhiṇeya did likewise after; both of them were welcomed by the delighted Kurus. O chief of the Bhāratas, the two heroes of the Yadus also took hold of the feet of their aunt's son.
1.206.26
अजातशत्रुश्च कुरुप्रवीरः ।
पप्रच्छ कृष्णं कुशलं विलोक्य।
कथं वयं वासुदेव त्वयेह ।
गूढा वसन्तो विदिताश्च सर्वे ॥ १.२०६.२६ ॥
Yudhiṣṭhira, the unconquered enemy and foremost of the Kurus, having looked upon Kṛṣṇa's well-being, asked: 'O Vāsudeva, though we have been living here in hiding, how have all of us been recognized by you?'
1.206.27
तमब्रवीद्वासुदेवः प्रहस्य ।
गूढोऽप्यग्निर्ज्ञायत एव राजन्।
तं विक्रमं पाण्डवेयानतीत्य ।
कोऽन्यः कर्ता विद्यते मानुषेषु ॥ १.२०६.२७ ॥
Vāsudeva, laughing, said to him: O king, even a hidden fire is recognized. Who among men, other than you, could surpass the prowess of the Pāṇḍavas?
1.206.28
दिष्ट्या सर्वे पावकाद्विप्रमुक्ता ।
यूयं घोरात्पाण्डवाः शत्रुसाहाः।
दिष्ट्या पापो धृतराष्ट्रस्य पुत्रः ।
सहामात्यो न सकामोऽभविष्यत् ॥ १.२०६.२८ ॥
By good fortune, all of you, O Pāṇḍavas, subduers of foes, were freed from that terrible fire. By good fortune, the wicked son of Dhṛtarāṣṭra, with his ministers, did not achieve his desire.
1.206.29
भद्रं वोऽस्तु निहितं यद्गुहायां ।
विवर्धध्वं ज्वलना इवैधमानाः।
मा वो विद्युः पार्थिवाः केचिदेव ।
यास्यावहे शिबिरायैव तावत्।
सोऽनुज्ञातः पाण्डवेनाव्ययश्रीः ।
प्रायाच्छीघ्रं बलदेवेन सार्धम् ॥ १.२०६.२९ ॥
May good befall you. What has been placed in the cave, let it grow like blazing fires. So that no king may know, the two of us shall go to the camp. Having taken leave of the Pāṇḍava, he of undiminished splendour departed quickly with Balarāma.
