2.65.1
स मे बहुमतो राजा जरासन्धो महाबलः ।
योऽनेन युद्धं नेयेष दाक्षोऽयमिति संयुगे ॥ २.६५.१ ॥
That king Jarāsandha, greatly honoured by me, who was mighty in strength, did not wish to fight with this one, thinking, 'He is clever.'
2.65.2
केशवेन कृतं कर्म जरासन्धवधे तदा ।
भीमसेनार्जुनाभ्यां च कस्तत्साध्विति मन्यते ॥ २.६५.२ ॥
Who considers good the deed that Keśava (Kṛṣṇa) then did in the slaying of Jarāsandha, and that done by Bhīmasena and Arjuna?
2.65.3
उद्वारेण प्रविष्टेन छद्मना ब्रह्मवादिना ।
दृष्टः प्रभावः कृष्णेन जरासन्धस्य भूपतेः ॥ २.६५.३ ॥
Having entered through the gate, deceitfully disguised as a Brahmin speaker, Kṛṣṇa saw the power of King Jarāsandha.
2.65.4
येन धर्मात्मनाऽऽत्मानं ब्रह्मण्यमभिजानता ।
प्रेषितं पाद्यमस्मै तद्दातुमग्रे दूरात्मने ॥ २.६५.४ ॥
He who, righteous and knowing himself devoted to the Brahmins, sent the water for washing the feet to this base-minded one, to be given first.
2.65.5
भुज्यतामिति तेनोक्ताः कृष्णबीमधनञ्जयाटः ।
जरासन्धेन कौरव्य कृष्णेन विकृतं कृतम् ॥ २.६५.५ ॥
'Let it be eaten,' he said to Kṛṣṇa, Bhīma and Dhanañjaya. O descendant of the Kurus, this perverse deed was done by Jarāsandha and by Kṛṣṇa.
2.65.6
यद्ययं जगतः कर्ता यथैनं मूर्ख मन्यसे ।
कस्मान्न ब्राह्मणं सम्यगात्मानमवगच्छति ॥ २.६५.६ ॥
If this one is the creator of the world, as you consider him a fool, why does he not rightly understand himself to be a Brahmin?
2.65.7
इदं त्वाश्चर्यभूतं मे यदिभे पाण्डवास्त्वया ।
अपकृष्टाः सतां मार्गान्मन्यन्ते तच्च साध्विति ॥ २.६५.७ ॥
It is a wonder to me that these Pāṇḍavas, drawn away by you from the path of the good, nevertheless consider that to be right.
2.65.8
अथवा नैतदाश्चर्यं येषां त्वमसि भारत ।
स्त्रीसधर्मा च वृद्धश्च सर्वार्थानां प्रदर्शकः ॥ २.६५.८ ॥
Or perhaps this is no wonder, O Bhārata, for to those for whom you, though like a woman and old, are the guide to all affairs.
2.65.9
तस्य तद्वचनं श्रुत्वा रूक्षं रूक्षाक्षरं बहु ।
चकोप बलिनां श्रेष्ठो भीमसेनः प्रतापवान् ॥ २.६५.९ ॥
Having heard his many harsh words, with their rough syllables, Bhīmasena, best of the mighty and full of valour, grew angry.
2.65.10
तथा पद्मप्रतीकाशे स्वभावायतविस्तृते ।
भूयः क्रोधाभिताम्राक्षे रक्ते नेत्रे बभूवतुः ॥ २.६५.१० ॥
And his eyes, like lotus petals, naturally long and wide, became even more red, their corners flushed with anger.
2.65.11
त्रिशिखां भ्रकुटीं चास्य ददृशुः सर्वपार्थिवाः ।
ललाटस्थां त्रिकूटस्थां गङ्गां त्रिपथगामिव ॥ २.६५.११ ॥
All the kings saw the three-pronged frown on his brow, like the Ganges flowing in three courses on the peak of Trikūṭa.
2.65.12
दन्तान्सन्दशतस्तस्य कोपाद्ददृशुराननम् ।
युगान्ते सर्वभूतानि कालस्येव जिघत्सतः ॥ २.६५.१२ ॥
They saw his face, gnashing its teeth in anger, like Time at the end of an age, about to devour all beings.
2.65.13
उत्पतन्तं तु वेगेन जग्राहैनं मनस्विन् ।
भीष्म एव महाबाहुर्महासेनमिवेश्वरः ॥ २.६५.१३ ॥
Leaping forward with speed, he was seized by the high-minded, mighty-armed Bhīṣma, as a lord restrains a great army.
2.65.14
तस्व भीमस्य भीष्मेण वार्यमाणस्य भारत ।
गुरुणा विविधैर्वाक्यैः क्रोधः प्रशममागतः ॥ २.६५.१४ ॥
O descendant of Bharata, Bhīma's anger, restrained by Bhīṣma, was calmed by the elder's many kinds of words.
2.65.15
नातिचक्राम भीष्मस्य स हि वाक्यमरिन्दमः ।
समुद्वृत्तो घनापाये वेलामिव महोदधिः ॥ २.६५.१५ ॥
That subduer of enemies did not transgress Bhīṣma's word, just as the great ocean, surging after the clouds have passed, does not overflow its shore.
2.65.16
शिशुपालस्तु सङ्क्रुद्धे भीमसेने जनाधिप ।
नाकम्पत तदा वीरः पौरुषे व्यवस्थितः ॥ २.६५.१६ ॥
But, O lord of men, though Bhīmasena was greatly enraged, Śiśupāla did not tremble; that hero stood firm in his manly courage.
2.65.17
उत्पतन्तं तु वेगेन पुनः पुनररिन्दमः ।
न स तं चिन्तयामास सिंहः क्रुद्धो मृगं यथा ॥ २.६५.१७ ॥
Though he leapt forward again and again with speed, that subduer of enemies took no heed of him, as an enraged lion takes no heed of a deer.
2.65.18
प्रहसंश्चाब्रवीद्वाक्यं चेदिराजः प्रतापवान् ।
भीमसेनमभिक्रुद्धं दृष्ट्वा भीमपराक्रमम् ॥ २.६५.१८ ॥
Then the mighty king of Cedi, Śiśupāla, laughing, spoke these words to Bhīmasena, having seen Bhīma's terrible valour as he raged.
2.65.19
मुञ्चैनं भीष्म पश्यन्तु यावदेनं नराधिपः ।
मत्प्रभावविनिर्दग्धं पतङ्गमिव वह्निना ॥ २.६५.१९ ॥
Bhīṣma, let him go, so that the kings may see him burned by my power, like a moth in fire.
2.65.20
ततश्चेदिपतेर्वाक्यं श्रुत्वा तत्कुरुसत्तमः ।
भीमसेनमुवाचेदं भीष्मे मतिमतां वरः ॥ २.६५.२० ॥
Then, having heard the words of the king of the Cedis, the best of the Kurus, foremost of the wise, spoke these words to Bhīmasena.
2.65.21
नैषा चेदिपतेर्बुद्धिर्यत्त्वामाह्वयतेऽच्युतम् ।
भीमसेन महाबाहो कृष्णस्यैव विनिश्चयः ॥ २.६५.२१ ॥
This is not the intention of the king of the Cedis, that he challenges you, Bhīmasena, mighty-armed one. It is the decision of Kṛṣṇa himself.
