3.121.1
न राम कालः परिदेवनाय ।
यदुत्तरं त्वत्र तदेव सर्वे।
समाचरामो ह्यनतीतकालं ।
युधिष्ठिरो यद्यपि नाह किंचित् ॥ ३.१२१.१ ॥
O Rāma, this is no time for lamentation. Let us all do what the reply demands, without letting time pass, though Yudhiṣṭhira says nothing.
3.121.2
ये नाथवन्तोऽद्य भवन्ति लोके ।
ते नात्मना कर्म समारन्ते।
तेषां तु कार्येषु भवन्ति नाथाः ।
शैब्यादयो राम यथा ययातेः ॥ ३.१२१.२ ॥
Those who have protectors in the world today do not undertake deeds by themselves; in their affairs the protectors act for them, O Rāma, as Śaibya and others did for Yayāti.
3.121.3
येषां तथा राम समारभन्ते ।
कार्याणि नाथाः स्वमतेन लोके।
रते नाथवन्तः पुरुषप्रवीरा ।
नानाथवत्कृच्छ्रमवाप्नुवन्ति ॥ ३.१२१.३ ॥
O Rāma, for those whose affairs their protectors begin in the world by their own will, heroic men who have protectors do not meet with hardship as those without protectors do.
3.121.4
कस्मादिमौ रामजनार्दनौ च ।
प्रद्युम्नसाम्बौ च मया समेतौ।
वसन्त्यरण्ये सह सोदरीयै-
स्त्रैलोक्यनाथानभिगम्य पार्थाः ॥ ३.१२१.४ ॥
Why do these two, Rāma and Janārdana, together with Pradyumna and Sāmba, who have joined me, dwell in the forest with their brothers, the sons of Pṛthā, though they could approach the lords of the three worlds?
3.121.5
निर्यातु साध्यद्य दशार्हसेना ।
प्रभूतनानायुधचित्रवर्मा।
यमक्षयं गच्छतु धार्तराष्ट्रः ।
सबान्धवो वृष्णिबलाभिभूतः ॥ ३.१२१.५ ॥
Let the army of the Daśārhas march forth today, bearing many weapons and bright armour, and let the son of Dhṛtarāṣṭra, with his kinsmen, overcome by the Vṛṣṇi host, go to the abode of Yama.
3.121.6
त्वं ह्येव कोपात्पृथिवीमपीमां ।
संवेष्टयेस्तिष्ठतु शार्ह्गधन्वा।
स धार्तराष्ट्रं जहि सानुबन्धं ।
वृत्रं यथा देवपतिर्महेन्द्रः ॥ ३.१२१.६ ॥
You alone, in anger, could wrap up even this earth; let the bow-wielder Śārṅga stand aside. Let him strike down the son of Dhṛtarāṣṭra together with his followers, as Mahendra, lord of the gods, struck down Vṛtra.
3.121.7
भ्राता च मे यः स सखा गुरुश्च ।
जनार्दनस्यात्मसमश्च पार्थः।
तदर्थमेको हि य उद्यमन्वै ।
करोति कर्णोऽस्त्रमवारणीयम् ॥ ३.१२१.७ ॥
He who is my brother, friend and teacher, and Pārtha (Arjuna), the equal of Janārdana's own self — for his sake alone Karṇa makes his effort to loose that irresistible weapon.
3.121.8
यदर्थमैच्छन्मनुजाः सुपुत्रं ।
शिष्यं गुरुं चाप्रतिकूलवादम्।
यदर्थमभ्युद्यतमुत्तमं त-
त्करोति कर्माग्र्यमपारणीयम् ॥ ३.१२१.८ ॥
For whose sake men desire a good son, a disciple, and a teacher who does not speak against them; for whose sake this supreme undertaking has been begun — for that sake he performs the foremost and unendurable deed.
3.121.9
तस्यास्त्रवर्षाण्यहमुत्तमास्त्रै-
र्विहत्य सर्वाणइ रणेऽभिभूय।
कायाच्छिरः सर्पविषाग्निकल्पैः ।
शरोत्तमैरुन्मथिताऽस्मि राम ॥ ३.१२१.९ ॥
Having warded off all his showers of weapons with the finest arms and overcome them all in battle, I struck his head from his body with the finest arrows, like serpent-venom and fire — I, O Rāma, am the one who crushed him.
3.121.10
खङ्गेन चाहं निशितेन सङ्ख्ये ।
कायाच्छिरस्तस्य बलात्प्रमत्य।
ततोऽस् सर्वाननुगान्हनिष्ये ।
दुर्योधनं चापि कुरूश्च सर्वान् ॥ ३.१२१.१० ॥
With a keen sword, in battle, I myself will forcibly strike his head from his body; then I shall slay all his followers, and Duryodhana and all the Kurus as well.
3.121.11
आत्तायुधं मामिह रौहिणएय ।
पश्यन्तु भैमा युधि जातहर्षाः।
निघ्नन्तमेकं कुरुयोधमुख्या-
नग्निं महाकक्षमिवान्तकाले ॥ ३.१२१.११ ॥
Let the sons of Bhīma see me here, the son of Rohiṇī, with weapon in hand, joyful in battle, striking down alone the chief warriors of the Kurus, like a fire consuming a great thicket at the time of death.
3.121.12
प्रद्युम्नमुक्तान्निशितान्न शक्ताः ।
सोढुं कृपद्रोणविकर्णकर्णाः।
जानासि पीर्यं च तवात्मजस्य ।
कार्ष्णिर्भवत्येव यथा रणस्थः ॥ ३.१२१.१२ ॥
Kṛpa, Droṇa, Vikarṇa and Karṇa were not able to endure the sharp arrows released by Pradyumna. You know the valor of your son, and how the son of Kṛṣṇa, Pradyumna, stands in battle.
3.121.13
साम्बः ससूतं सरथं भुजाभ्यां ।
दुःशासनं शास्तु बलात्प्रमथ्य।
न विद्यतेजाम्बवतीसुतस्य ।
रणेऽविषह्यं हि रणोत्कटस्य ॥ ३.१२१.१३ ॥
Let Sāmba, with charioteer and chariot, crush Duḥśāsana by force with his arms and chastise him. For the son of Jāmbavatī, nothing in battle is unbearable, for he is the fierce warrior of the fray.
3.121.14
एतेन बालेन हि शम्बरस्य ।
दैत्यस्य सैन्यं सहसा प्रणुन्नम्।
हतः स पापो युधि केवलेन ।
युद्धेऽद्वितीयो हरितुल्यवीर्यः ॥ ३.१२१.१४ ॥
By this very youth the army of the Daitya Śambara was suddenly driven back. That wicked one was slain in battle by him alone. Unrivalled in battle, his valor equal to Hari's.
3.121.15
वृत्तोरुरत्यायतपीनबाहु-
रेतेन सङ्ख्ये निहतोऽश्वचक्रः।
को नाम साम्बस्य महारथस्य ।
रणे समक्षं रथमभ्युदीयात् ॥ ३.१२१.१५ ॥
Round-thighed and long, thick-armed, he was slain in battle by this one, the wheel-horse. Who indeed, before the eyes of the great chariot-warrior Sāmba, would dare to advance upon his chariot in battle?
3.121.16
यथा प्रविश्यान्तरमन्तकस्य ।
काले मनुष्यो न विनिष्क्रमेत।
तथा प्रविश्यान्तरमस्य सङ्ख्ये ।
को नाम जीवन्पुनराव्रजेच्च ॥ ३.१२१.१६ ॥
As a man who has entered the gap of Death does not come out again when his time comes, so who, having entered the gap of this one in battle, could live and return?
3.121.17
द्रोणं कच भीष्मं च महारथौ तौ ।
सुतैर्वृतं चाप्यथ सोमदत्तम्।
सर्वाणइ सैन्यानि च वासुदेवः ।
प्रधक्ष्यते सायकवह्निजालैः ॥ ३.१२१.१७ ॥
Droṇa and Kṛpa, Bhīṣma, those two great charioteers, Somadatta surrounded by his sons, and all the armies — Vāsudeva will burn them all with nets of flaming arrows.
3.121.18
किंनाम लोकेषु विषह्ममस्ति-
कृष्णस्य सर्वेषु सदेवकेषु।
आत्तायुधस्योत्तमबाणपाणे-
श्चक्रायुधस्याप्रतिमस्य युद्धे ॥ ३.१२१.१८ ॥
Who in all the worlds, together with the gods, can endure Kṛṣṇa — he who has taken up his weapons, whose hand holds the finest arrows, the discus-wielder, matchless in battle?
3.121.19
ततो निरुद्धोऽप्यसिचर्मपाणि-
र्महीमिमां धार्तराष्ट्रैर्विसंज्ञैः।
हृतोत्तमाङ्गैर्निहतैः करोतु ।
कीर्णाङ्कुशैर्वेदिमिवाध्वरेषु ॥ ३.१२१.१९ ॥
Then, though held back, sword and shield in hand, let him fill this earth with the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra — senseless, their heads cut off, slain — like an altar strewn with goads at sacrifices.
3.121.20
गदोल्मुकौ बाहुकभानुनीथाः ।
शूरश्र सङ्ख्ये निशठः कुमारः।
रणोत्कटौ सारणचारुदेष्णौ ।
कुलोचितं विप्रथयन्तु कर्म ॥ ३.१२१.२० ॥
Let the two torch-maces, Bāhuka, Bhānu, Nītha, the hero Niśaṭha the prince in battle, the fierce Sāraṇa and Cārudeṣṇa, display deeds fitting to their lineage.
3.121.21
सवृष्णिभोजान्धकयोधमुख्या ।
समागता सात्वतशूरसेना।
हत्वा रणे तान्धृतराष्ट्रपुत्रा-
न्लोके यशः स्फीतमुपाकरोतु ॥ ३.१२१.२१ ॥
May the heroic army of the Sātvatas, assembled with the chief warriors of the Vṛṣṇis, Bhojas and Andhakas, slay the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra in battle and win abundant fame in the world.
3.121.22
ततोऽभिमन्युः पृथिवीं प्रशास्तु ।
यावद्व्रतं धर्मभृतांवरिष्ठः।
युधिष्ठिरः पारयते महात्मा ।
द्यूते यथोक्तं कुरुसत्तमेन ॥ ३.१२१.२२ ॥
Then let Abhimanyu rule the earth until the great-souled Yudhiṣṭhira, best of those who uphold dharma, fulfils his vow as stated in the dice game by the best of the Kurus.
3.121.23
अस्मत्प्रमुक्तैर्विशिखैर्जितारि-
स्ततो महीं भोक्ष्यति धर्मराजः।
निर्धार्तराष्ट्रां हतसूतपुत्रा-
मेतद्धि नः कृत्यतमं यशस्यम् ॥ ३.१२१.२३ ॥
Having conquered their enemies with arrows loosed by us, the king of dharma will then enjoy the earth, freed of the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra with the son of the charioteer slain. This is for us the most necessary and glorious duty.
3.121.24
असंशयं माधव सत्यमेत-
द्गृह्णीम ते वाक्यमदीनसत्व।
स्वाभ्यां भुजाभ्यामजितां तु भूमिं ।
नेच्छेत्कुरूणामृषभः कथंचित् ॥ ३.१२१.२४ ॥
Without doubt, Mādhava, this is true; we accept your words, O you of undaunted spirit. The bull of the Kurus would not in any way desire the earth that is not won by his own two arms.
3.121.25
न ह्येष कामान्न भयान्न लोभा-
द्युधिष्ठिरो जातु जह्यात्स्वधर्मम्।
भीमार्जुनौ चातिरथौ यमौ च ।
तथैव कृष्णा द्रुपदात्मजेयम् ॥ ३.१२१.२५ ॥
Yudhiṣṭhira would never abandon his own dharma out of desire, nor out of fear, nor out of greed. Bhīma and Arjuna, the great chariot-warriors, the twins likewise, and this Kṛṣṇā, daughter of Drupada, are the same.
3.121.26
उभौ हि युद्धेऽप्रतिमौ पृथिव्यां ।
वृकोदरश्चैव धनंजयश्च।
कस्मान्न कृत्स्नां पृथिवीं प्रशासे-
न्माद्रीसुताभ्यां च पुरस्कृतोऽयम् ॥ ३.१२१.२६ ॥
In battle on earth these two are incomparable: Vṛkodara and Dhanaṃjaya. Why, then, supported by the two sons of Mādrī, should you not rule the entire earth?
3.121.27
यदा तु पाञ्चालपतिर्महात्मा ।
सकेकयश्चेदिपतिर्वयं च।
युध्येम विक्रम्य रणे समेता-
स्तदैव सर्वे रिपवो हि न स्युः ॥ ३.१२१.२७ ॥
When the high-souled lord of the Pañcālas, together with the Kekayas and the lord of the Cedis, and we, gathered together, fight valiantly in battle, then indeed there will be no enemies at all.
3.121.28
नेदं चित्रं माधव यद्ब्रवीषि ।
सत्यं तु मे रक्ष्यतमं न राज्यम्।
कृष्णस्तु मां वेद यथावदेकः ।
कृष्णं च वेदाहमथो यथावत् ॥ ३.१२१.२८ ॥
Mādhava, what you say is no wonder. For me, truth is what most must be guarded, not kingship. Kṛṣṇa alone knows me truly, and I too know Kṛṣṇa truly.
3.121.29
यदैव कालं पुरुषप्रवीरो ।
वेत्स्यत्ययं माधव विक्रमस्य।
तदा रणे त्वं च शिनिप्रवीर ।
सुयोधनं जेष्यसि केशवश्च ॥ ३.१२१.२९ ॥
When this best of men knows the time for his valour, O Mādhava, then in battle you, the best of the Śinis, and Keśava will conquer Suyodhana.
3.121.30
प्रतिप्रयान्त्वद्य दशार्हवीरा ।
दृष्टोस्मि नाथैर्नरलोकनाथैः।
धर्मेऽप्रमादं कुरुताप्रमेया ।
द्रष्टाऽस्मि भूयः सुखिनः समेतान् ॥ ३.१२१.३० ॥
Today let the heroes of the Daśārhas depart. I have been seen by these lords of the world of men. O immeasurable ones, be vigilant in dharma; I shall see you all again, happy and gathered together.
3.121.31
तेऽन्योन्यमामन्त्र्य तथाऽभिवाद्य ।
वृद्धान्परिष्वज्य शिशूंश्च सर्वान्।
यदुप्रवीराः स्वगृहाणि जग्मु-
स्ते चापि तीर्थान्यमुसंविचेरुः ॥ ३.१२१.३१ ॥
Having taken leave of one another and greeted each other as is proper, and having embraced the elders and all the children, the heroes of the Yadus went to their own homes; and they too wandered through the sacred fords.
3.121.32
विसृज्य वृष्णीननु धर्मराजौ ।
विदर्भराजोपचितां सुतीर्थाम्।
जगाम पुण्यां सरितं पयोष्णीं ।
सभ्रातृभृत्यः सह लोमशेन ॥ ३.१२१.३२ ॥
Having dismissed the Vṛṣṇis, the two kings of dharma went to the sacred river Payoṣṇī, rich in fine fords and thronged with the people of the king of Vidarbha, together with their brothers and servants and with Lomaśa.
3.121.33
सुतेन सोमेन विमिश्रतोयां ।
पयः पयोष्णीं प्रति सोध्युवास।
द्विजातिमुख्यैर्मुदितैर्महात्मा ।
संस्तूयमानः स्तुतिभिर्वराभिः ॥ ३.१२१.३३ ॥
The great-souled one dwelt by the Payoṣṇī, whose waters are mingled with those of the son of Soma, praised with excellent hymns by the foremost brahmins, who were gladdened.
