2.94.1
या नः श्रुता मनुष्येषु स्त्रियो रूपेण संमताः ।
तासामेतादृशं कर्म न कस्याश्चन शुश्रुम ॥ २.९४.१ ॥
Of the women among men whom we have heard of as honoured for their beauty, we have never heard of any doing such a deed.
2.94.2
क्रोधाविष्टेषु पार्थेषु धार्तराष्ट्रेषु चाप्यति ।
द्रौपदी पाण्डुपुत्राणां कृष्णा शान्तिरिहाभवत् ॥ २.९४.२ ॥
Amid the sons of Pṛthā filled with anger, and the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra as well, Kṛṣṇā Draupadī alone became peace for the sons of Pāṇḍu here.
2.94.3
अप्लवेऽम्भसि मग्नानामप्रतिष्ठे निमज्जताम् ।
पाञ्चाली पाण्डुपुत्राणां नौरेषां पारगाऽभवत् ॥ २.९४.३ ॥
For the sons of Pāṇḍu sunk in waters without a raft, sinking without footing, Pāñcālī became the boat that carried them across.
2.94.4
तद्वै श्रुत्वा भीमसेनः कुरुमध्येऽत्यमर्षणः ।
स्त्री गतिः पाण्डुपुत्राणामित्युवाच सुदुर्मनाः ॥ २.९४.४ ॥
Hearing this, Bhīmasena, exceedingly wrathful in the midst of the Kurus, said with a deeply troubled mind: "A woman is the refuge of the sons of Pāṇḍu?"
2.94.5
त्रीणि ज्योतींषि पुरुष इति वै देवलोऽब्रवीत् ।
अपत्यं कर्म विद्या च यतः सृष्टाः प्रजास्ततः ॥ २.९४.५ ॥
"Devala has said that a man has three lights: offspring, action and knowledge; from these the creatures were created."
2.94.6
अमेध्ये वै गतप्रामे शून्ये ज्ञातिभिरुज्झिते ।
देहे त्रितयमेवैतत्पुरुषस्योपयुज्यते ॥ २.९४.६ ॥
"Even when the body is impure, the village is ruined and empty, and forsaken by kinsmen, these three alone are of use to a man."
2.94.7
तन्नो ज्योतिरभिहतं दाराणामभिमर्शनात् ।
धनञ्जय कथं स्वित्स्यादपत्यमभिमृष्टजम् ॥ २.९४.७ ॥
O Dhanañjaya, by the touching of our wives our light has been extinguished; how could offspring born of one who was touched be?
2.94.8
न चैवोक्ता न चानुक्ता हीनतः परुषा गिरः ।
भारत प्रतिजल्पन्ति सदा तूत्तमपूरुषाः ॥ २.९४.८ ॥
Neither spoken nor unspoken, harsh words from the base never draw an answer from the best of men, O Bhārata.
2.94.9
स्मरन्ति सुकृतान्येव न वैराणि कृतान्यपि ।
सन्तः प्रतिविजानन्तो लब्धसम्भावनाः स्वयम् ॥ २.९४.९ ॥
The good remember only the kindnesses done, not the enmities done; having received honour, they themselves return it.
2.94.10
इहैवैतानहं सर्वान्हन्मि शत्रून्समागतान् ।
अथ निष्क्रम्य राजेन्द्र समूलान्हन्मि भारत ॥ २.९४.१० ॥
Here, right now, I will slay all these enemies who have gathered; or, going out, O lord of kings, I will destroy them root and all, O Bhārata.
2.94.11
किं नो विवदितेनेह किमुक्तेन च भारत ।
अद्यैवैतान्निहन्मीह प्रशाधि पृथिवीमिमाम् ॥ २.९४.११ ॥
O Bhārata, what profit is there in disputing here, or in saying anything? Today itself I will slay them here; you rule this earth.
2.94.12
इत्युक्त्वा भीमसेनस्तु कनिष्ठैर्भ्रातृभिः सह ।
मृगमध्ये यथा सिंहो मुहुर्मुहुरुदैक्षत ॥ २.९४.१२ ॥
Having said this, Bhīmasena, together with his younger brothers, looked around again and again, like a lion among deer.
2.94.13
सान्त्व्यमानो वीक्षमाणः पार्थेनाक्लिष्टकर्मणा ।
खिद्यत्येव महाबाहुरन्तर्दाहेन वीर्यवान् ॥ २.९४.१३ ॥
Though soothed by Pārtha of effortless deeds, and looking on, the mighty-armed hero, valiant, went on grieving from the burning within.
2.94.14
क्रुद्धस्य तस्य स्रोतोभ्यः कर्णादिभ्यो नराधिप ।
सधूमः सस्फुलिङ्गार्चिः पावकः समजायत ॥ २.९४.१४ ॥
O lord of men, from the openings of his angry body, from the ears and so on, fire arose with smoke, sparks and flames.
2.94.15
भ्रुकुटीकृतदुष्प्रेक्ष्यमभवत्तस्य तन्मुखम् ।
युगान्तकाले सम्प्राप्ते कृतान्तस्येव रूपिणः ॥ २.९४.१५ ॥
With frowning brows his face became hard to look upon, as if the time of the world's end had come and Death himself had taken form.
2.94.16
युधिष्ठिरस्तमावार्य बाहुना बाहुशालिनम् ।
मैवमित्यब्रवीच्चैनं जोषमास्वेति भारत ॥ २.९४.१६ ॥
Yudhiṣṭhira, restraining that strong-armed one with his arm, said, 'Not so.' And to him, O Bhārata, he said, 'Sit quietly.'
2.94.17
निवार्य च महाबाहुं कोपसंरक्तलोचनम् ।
पितरं समुपातिष्ठद्धृतराष्ट्रं कृताञ्जलिः ॥ २.९४.१७ ॥
Restraining that mighty-armed one, whose eyes were red with anger, he stood before his father Dhṛtarāṣṭra with folded hands.
