दुर्योधनमिदं काले कर्णेन सहितोऽब्रवीत् ॥ ३.२३८.१ ॥

प्रव्राज्य पाण्डवान्वीरान्स्वेन वीर्येण भारत ।
भुङ्क्ष्वेमां पृथिवीमेको दिवि शम्बरहायथा ॥ ३.२३८.२ ॥
O Bhārata, having driven the heroic Pāṇḍavas into exile by your own valor, enjoy this earth alone, as Indra, slayer of Śambara, does in heaven.

साऽद्यलक्ष्मीस्त्वया राजन्नवाप्ता भ्रातृभिः सह ॥ ३.२३८.५ ॥
That very fortune which formerly, blazing as if, resorted to the Pāṇḍavas — that fortune, O king, you have now obtained together with your brothers.

इन्द्रप्रस्थगते यां तां दीप्यमानां युधिष्ठिरे ।
अपश्याम श्रियं राजन्सुचिरं शोककर्शिताः ॥ ३.२३८.६ ॥
O king, that fortune which went to Indraprastha and blazed in Yudhiṣṭhira — we beheld it for a long time, emaciated by grief.

सा तु बुद्धिबलेनेयं राज्ञस्तस्मात्तथाविधात् ।
त्वयाक्षिप्ता महाबाहो दीप्यमानेव दृश्यते ॥ ३.२३८.७ ॥
That splendour, seized by you, O mighty-armed one, from that king of such a kind, by his intelligence and strength, still appears as if shining.
3.238.8
तथैव तव राजेन्द्रराजानः परवीरहन् ।
शासनेऽधिष्ठिताः सर्वेकिं कुर्म इति वादिनः ॥ ३.२३८.८ ॥
Likewise, O lord of kings, slayer of enemy heroes, all the kings abiding under your command speak thus: 'What shall we do?'

सपर्वतवना देवी सग्रामनगराकरा ॥ ३.२३८.९ ॥
We are they, O king: the whole earth, clothed with oceans as her garments, the goddess with her mountains and forests, with her villages, cities and mines.

पौरुषाद्दिवि देवेषु भ्राजसे रश्मिवानिव ॥ ३.२३८.११ ॥
Delighted by the twice-born, O king, you shine like the lord of the stars; by valour, in heaven among the gods, you gleam like the radiant one.
3.238.12
रुद्रैरिव यमो राजा मरुद्भिरिव वासवः ।
कुरुभिस्त्वं वृतो राजन्भासि नक्षत्रराडिव ॥ ३.२३८.१२ ॥
As Yama is surrounded by the Rudras, and Vāsava by the Maruts, so, O king, surrounded by the Kurus, you shine like the lord of the stars.

यैः स्म ते नाद्रियेताज्ञा न च ये शासने स्थिताः ।
पश्यामस्ताञ्श्रिया हीनान्पाण्डवान्वनवासिनः ॥ ३.२३८.१३ ॥
We see those Pāṇḍavas — who did not respect your command and did not stand under your rule — deprived of fortune and living in the forest.

वसन्तः पाण्डवाः सार्धं ब्राह्मणैर्वनवासिभिः ॥ ३.२३८.१४ ॥
It is heard, great king, that there is a lake toward the Dvaita forest, where the Pāṇḍavas dwell together with forest-dwelling brahmins.

सप्रयाहि महाराज श्रिया परमया युतः ।
तापयन्पाण्डुपुत्रांस्त्वं रश्मिवानिव तेजसा ॥ ३.२३८.१५ ॥
Set out, great king, endowed with supreme fortune; scorching the sons of Pāṇḍu with your brilliance, like the sun with its rays.

असमृद्धान्समृद्धार्थः पश्य पाण्डुसुतान्नृप ॥ ३.२३८.१६ ॥
Established in the kingdom, surrounded by fortune, rich in wealth — behold, O king, the sons of Pāṇḍu, fallen from the kingdom, bereft of fortune, unprosperous.
3.238.17
महाभिजनसंपन्नं भद्रे महति संस्थितम् ।
पाण्डवास्त्वाऽभिवीक्षन्तु ययातिमिव नाहुषां ॥ ३.२३८.१७ ॥
Endowed with a great lineage, O gentle one, established in great station — let the Pāṇḍavas look upon you, as upon Yayāti, son of Nahuṣa.
3.238.18
यां श्रियं सुहृदश्चैव दुर्हृदश्च विशांपते ।
पश्यन्ति पौरुषैर्दीप्तां सा समर्था भवत्युत ॥ ३.२३८.१८ ॥
That radiant fortune which friends and enemies behold through manly valor — O lord of men, that fortune indeed becomes capable.
3.238.19
समस्थो विषमस्थान्हि दुर्हृदो योऽभिवीक्षते ।
जगतीस्थनिवाद्रिस्थः किमतः परमं सुखम् ॥ ३.२३८.१९ ॥
Standing on level ground, he who looks upon enemies standing on uneven ground — what greater happiness is there than this, whether one dwells on the earth or on the mountain?
3.238.20
न पुत्रधनलाभेन न राज्येनापि विन्दति ।
प्रीतिं नृपतिशार्दूल याममित्राधदर्शनात् ॥ ३.२३८.२० ॥
Not by gaining sons and wealth, nor even by kingship, does a man find that joy, O tiger among kings, which comes from not seeing an enemy.
3.238.21
किंनु तस्य सुखं न स्यादाश्रमे यो धनंजयम् ।
अभिवीक्षेत सिद्धार्थो वल्कलाजिनवाससम् ॥ ३.२३८.२१ ॥
Would not that man have happiness who, having attained his aim, looks upon Dhanaṃjaya in the hermitage, clad in bark and deerskin?

सुवाससो हि ते भार्या वल्कलाजिनसंवृताम् ।
पश्यन्तु दुःखितां कृष्णां सा च निर्विद्यतां पुनः ॥ ३.२३८.२२ ॥
Let your wives, well clothed, look upon Kṛṣṇā, afflicted and wrapped in bark and deerskin; and let her, in turn, grow weary once more.

विनिन्दतां तथाऽत्मानं जीवितं च धनच्युतम् ।
दाराणां ते श्रियं दृष्ट्वा दीप्तामद्य जनाधिपा ॥ ३.२३८.२३ ॥
And let them, seeing today the radiant splendor of your wives, O lord of men, reproach themselves and their life, bereft of wealth, in just this way.
3.238.24
न तथा हि सभामध्ये तस्या भवितुमर्हति ।
वैमनस्यं यथा दृष्ट्वा तव भार्याः स्वलंकृताः ॥ ३.२३८.२४ ॥
In the midst of the assembly she ought not to be as dejected as she was when she saw your well-adorned wives.
3.238.25
एवमुक्त्वा तु राजानं कर्णः शकुनिना सह ।
तूष्णीं बभूवतुरुभौ वाक्यान्ते जनमेजय ॥ ३.२३८.२५ ॥
Having spoken thus to the king, Karṇa and Śakuni both fell silent together, O Janamejaya, at the end of their words.
