14.82.1
किमागमनकृत्यं ते कौरव्यकुलनन्दिनि ।
मणलूरपतेर्मातुस्तथैव च रणाजिरे ॥ १४.८२.१ ॥
O delight of the Kaurava family, what is the purpose of your coming, both for the mother of the lord of Maṇalūra and likewise on the battlefield?
14.82.2
कच्चित्कुशलकामासि राज्ञोऽस्य भुजगात्मजे ।
मम वा चपलापाङ्गि कच्चित्वं शुभमिच्छसि ॥ १४.८२.२ ॥
O daughter of the serpent king, do you desire the welfare of this king or of me? O restless-eyed one, do you wish for what is good?
14.82.3
कच्चित्ते पृथुलश्रोणि नाप्रियं प्रियदर्शने ।
अकार्षमहमज्ञानादयं वा बभ्रुवाहनः ॥ १४.८२.३ ॥
O broad-hipped one, O pleasant to behold, have I, out of ignorance, done something displeasing to you, or has this Babhruvāhana?
14.82.4
कच्चिन्नु राजपूत्री ते सपत्नी चैत्रवाहनी ।
चित्राङ्गदा वरारोहा नापराध्यति किञ्चन ॥ १४.८२.४ ॥
O princess, does your co-wife Citravāhanā, the fair-hipped Citrāṅgadā, offend you in any way at all?
14.82.5
तमुवाचोरगपतेर्दुहिता प्रहसन्त्यथ ।
न मे त्वमपराद्धोसि न हि मे बभ्रुवाहनः।
न जनित्री तथाऽस्येयं मम यो प्रेष्यवत्थिता ॥ १४.८२.५ ॥
Then the daughter of the serpent lord, laughing, said to him: You have not offended me, nor has Babhruvāhana; nor is she his mother, she who stands here like a servant before me.
14.82.6
श्रूयतां यद्यथा चेदं मया सर्वं विचेष्टितम् ।
न मे कोपस्त्वया कार्यः शिरसा त्वां प्रसादये ॥ १४.८२.६ ॥
Listen how and why I did all this. Do not be angry with me; with bowed head I beseech you.
14.82.7
त्वत्प्रियार्थं हि कौरव्य कृतमेतन्मया विभो ।
यत्तच्छृणु महाबाहो निखिलेन धनंजय ॥ १४.८२.७ ॥
For your sake, O descendant of Kuru, O lord, I did this. Listen to it all, O mighty-armed Dhanaṃjaya.

अधर्मेण हतः पार्थ तस्यैषा निष्कृतिः कृता ॥ १४.८२.८ ॥
In the great battle of the Mahābhārata, you unrighteously slew the king, Śantanu's son. O Pārtha, this expiation has been made for it.
14.82.9
न हि भीष्मस्त्वया वीर युद्ध्यमानो हि पातितः ।
शिखण्डिना तु संयुक्तस्तमाश्रित्य हतस्त्वया ॥ १४.८२.९ ॥

तस्य शान्तिमकृत्वा त्वं त्यजेथा यदि जीवितम् ।
कर्मणा तेन पापेन पतेथा निरये ध्रुवम्।
एषा तु विहिता शान्तिः पुत्राद्यां प्राप्तवानसि ॥ १४.८२.१० ॥
Had you given up your life without making appeasement for him, you would surely have fallen into hell through that sinful deed. This appeasement has been prescribed, and you have attained sons and the rest.

गङ्गायास्तीरमाश्रित्य हते शान्तनवे नृप ।
आप्लुत्य देवा वसवः समेत्य च महानदीम्।
इदमूचुर्वचो घोरं भागीरथ्या मते तदा ॥ १४.८२.१२ ॥
O king, after Śantanu's son had been slain, the Vasu gods, having taken refuge on the bank of the Gaṅgā, bathed in the great river, gathered together, and then at Bhāgīrathī's counsel spoke these terrible words.

गच्छेति वसुभिश्चोक्तो मम चेदं शशंस सः ॥ १४.८२.१८ ॥

न हि त्वां देवराजोऽपि समरेषु पराजयेत् ॥ १४.८२.१९ ॥
