3.46.1
अत्यद्भुतमिदं कर्म पार्थस्यामिततेजसः ।
धृतराष्ट्रो महातेजाः श्रुत्वा तत्र किमब्रवीत् ॥ ३.४६.१ ॥
This deed of Pārtha of immeasurable splendour is most wonderful. Having heard it, what did Dhṛtarāṣṭra, of great splendour, say there?
3.46.2
शक्रलोकगतं पार्थं श्रुत्वा राजाऽम्बिकासुतः ।
द्वैपायनादृषिश्रेष्ठात्संजयं वाक्यमब्रवीत् ॥ ३.४६.२ ॥
Having heard of Pārtha gone to the world of Indra, the king, son of Ambikā, spoke these words to Sañjaya, who had it from Dvaipāyana, best of sages.
3.46.3
श्रुतं मे सूत कार्त्स्न्येन कर्म पार्थस् धीमतः ।
कच्चित्तवापि विदितं याथातथ्येन सारथे ॥ ३.४६.३ ॥
Sūta, I have heard the full account of the deed of the wise Pārtha. Charioteer, do you also know it truly, as it really happened?
3.46.4
प्रमत्तो ग्राम्यधर्मेषु मन्दात्मा पापनिश्चयः ।
मम पुत्रः सुदुर्बुद्धिः पृथिवीं घातयिष्यति ॥ ३.४६.४ ॥
My son, heedless in worldly pleasures, dull-minded and resolved on evil, of very foolish understanding, will bring the earth to ruin.
3.46.5
यस्य नित्यमृता वाचः स्वैरेष्वपि महात्मनः ।
त्रैलोक्यमपि तस्य स्याद्योद्धा यस्य धनंजयः ॥ ३.४६.५ ॥
For that great-souled one whose words are always true, even in private matters, the three worlds too may be his, if Dhanaṃjaya is his warrior.
3.46.6
अस्यतः कर्णिनाराचांस्तीक्ष्णाग्रांश्च शिलाशितान् ।
नार्जुनस्याग्रतस्तिष्ठेदपि मृत्युर्जरातिगः ॥ ३.४६.६ ॥
None could stand before Arjuna when he shoots his barbed iron arrows, sharp-pointed and whetted on stone; not even Death, who transcends old age, would stand before him.
3.46.7
मम पुत्रा दुरात्मानः सर्वे मृत्युवशंगताः ।
येषां युद्धं दुराधर्षैः पाण्डवैः समुपस्थितम् ॥ ३.४६.७ ॥
All my evil-minded sons have fallen under the power of death, for whom battle with the unassailable Pāṇḍavas has come.
3.46.8
तस्यैव च न पश्यामि युधि गाण्डीवधन्वनः ।
अनिशं चिन्तयानोऽपि य एनमुदियाद्युधि ॥ ३.४६.८ ॥
In battle I see no one like the bowman of the Gāṇḍīva who, even thinking of him constantly, could rise against him.
3.46.9
द्रोणकर्णौ प्रतीयातां यदि भीष्मोऽपि वा रणे ।
महान्स्यात्संशयोलोके न तु पश्यामि नो जयम् ॥ ३.४६.९ ॥
Even if Droṇa and Karṇa, or even Bhīṣma, were to face him in battle, there would be great doubt in the world; yet I do not see victory for us.
3.46.10
घृणी कर्णः प्रमादी च आचार्यः स्थविरो गुरुः ।
अमर्षी बलवान्पार्थः संरम्भी दृढविक्रमः ॥ ३.४६.१० ॥
Karṇa is compassionate and careless; the teacher is aged and a venerable guru; Pārtha is impatient of insult, strong, fierce, and of firm prowess.
3.46.11
भवेत्सुतुमुलं युद्धं सर्वस्याप्यपराजितम् ।
सर्वे ह्यस्त्रविदः शूराः सर्वे प्राप्ता महद्यशः ॥ ३.४६.११ ॥
The battle would be very fierce, and none would be defeated; all are heroes skilled in weapons, all have attained great fame.
3.46.12
अपि सर्वेश्वरत्वं हि न वाञ्छेरन्पराजिताः ।
वधे नूनं भवेच्छान्तिरेतेषां फल्गुनस्य वा ॥ ३.४६.१२ ॥
The defeated would not even desire lordship over all; surely peace would come only in the slaying of these or of Phalguna.
3.46.13
न तु हन्ताऽर्जुनस्यास्ति जेता वाऽस्य न विद्यते ।
मन्युस्तस्य कथं शाम्येन्मन्दान्प्रति समुत्थितः ॥ ३.४६.१३ ॥
But there is no slayer of Arjuna, nor is there anyone who can conquer him. How will his anger, risen against the foolish, be quelled?
3.46.14
त्रिदशेशसमो वीरः खाण्डवेऽग्निमतर्पयत् ।
जिगा पार्थिवान्सर्वान्राजसूये महाक्रतौ ॥ ३.४६.१४ ॥
That hero, equal to the lord of the gods, satisfied the fire at Khāṇḍava, and conquered all the kings at the great Rājasūya sacrifice.
3.46.15
शेषं कुर्याद्गिरेर्वज्रो निपतन्मूर्ध्नि संजय ।
न तु कुर्युः शराः शेषं क्षिप्तास्तात किरीटिना ॥ ३.४६.१५ ॥
Sañjaya, a thunderbolt falling on a mountain's summit might leave something of it; but, dear one, the arrows shot by the diademed one will leave nothing behind.
3.46.16
यथा हि किरणा भानोस्तपन्तीह चराचरम् ।
तथा पार्थभुजोत्सृष्टाः शरास्तप्स्यन्ति मत्सुतान् ॥ ३.४६.१६ ॥
Just as the rays of the sun scorch all that moves and does not move here, so the arrows released from Pārtha's arms will scorch my sons.
3.46.17
अपि तद्रथघोषेण भयार्था सव्यसाचिनः ।
प्रतिभाति विदीर्णेव सर्वतो भारती चमूः ॥ ३.४६.१७ ॥
Even so, this army of the Bhāratas, terrified by the roar of Arjuna's chariot, appears torn apart on every side.
3.46.18
समुद्धरन्प्रवपंश्चैव बाणान् ।
स्ताताऽऽततायी समरे किरीटि।
सृष्टोऽन्तकः सर्वहरो विधात्रा ।
भवेद्यथा तद्वदवारणीयः ॥ ३.४६.१८ ॥
Drawing and scattering his arrows, the diademed one, bow fully drawn in battle, becomes irresistible like Death, the all-seizing one created by the Creator.
3.46.19
यदतत्कथितं राजंस्त्वया दुर्योधनं प्रति ।
सर्वमेतद्यथातत्त्वं नतु मिथ्या महीपते ॥ ३.४६.१९ ॥
O king, all that you said to Duryodhana is exactly as it is, not false, O lord of the earth.
3.46.20
मन्युना हि समाविष्टाः पाण्डवास्त्वमितौजसः ।
दृष्ट्वा कृष्णां सभां नीतां धर्मपत्नीं यशस्विनीं ॥ ३.४६.२० ॥
O king, the Pāṇḍavas of boundless might were filled with anger when they saw the glorious, lawful wife Kṛṣṇā being led into the assembly.
3.46.21
दुःशासनस्य ता वाचः श्रुत्वा वै कटुकोदयाः ।
कर्णस्य च महाराज न स्वप्स्यन्तीति मे मतिः ॥ ३.४६.२१ ॥
O great king, having heard those bitter-fruited words of Duḥśāsana and Karṇa, it is my view that they will not sleep.
3.46.22
श्रुतं हि ते महाराज यथा पार्थेन संयुगे ।
एकादशतनुः स्थाणुर्धेनुषा परितोषितः ॥ ३.४६.२२ ॥
O great king, you have surely heard how the son of Pṛthā, in battle with his bow, pleased Sthāṇu, the eleven-bodied one.
3.46.23
कैरातं वेषमास्थाय योधयामास फल्गुनम् ।
जिज्ञासुः सर्वदेवेशः कपर्दी भगवान्स्वयम् ॥ ३.४६.२३ ॥
The lord of all gods, the matted-haired blessed one himself, desiring to know, assumed the form of a Kirāta and fought with Phalguna.
3.46.24
लेभे पाशुपतं चापि परमास्त्रं महाद्युतिः ।
तत्रैनं लोकपालास्ते दर्शयामासुरर्जुनम्।
अस्त्रहेतोः पराक्रान्तं तपसा कौरवर्षभम् ॥ ३.४६.२४ ॥
That greatly radiant one also obtained the supreme weapon called the Pāśupata. There the world-guardians showed themselves to Arjuna, bull of the Kurus, who had striven by austerity for the sake of weapons.
3.46.25
नैतदुत्सहते चान्यो लब्धुमन्यत्र फल्गुनात् ।
साक्षाद्दर्शनमेतेषामीश्वराणां नरो भुवि ॥ ३.४६.२५ ॥
No one else on earth, other than Phālguna, would dare to obtain the direct sight of these lords.
3.46.26
महेश्वरेण यो राजन्न जीर्णो ग्रस्तमूर्तिमान् ।
कस्तमुत्सहते वीरो युद्धे जरयितुं पुमान् ॥ ३.४६.२६ ॥
O king, who is the hero who would dare to wear down in battle the one whose form has been seized by Maheśvara, and is not worn out?
3.46.27
आसादितमिदं घोरं तुमुलं रोमहर्षणम् ।
द्रौपदीं परिकर्षद्भिः कोपयद्भिश्च पाण्डवान् ॥ ३.४६.२७ ॥
This terrible, tumultuous, hair-raising calamity has been brought about by those who dragged Draupadī and provoked the Pāṇḍavas.
3.46.28

दृष्ट्वा दुर्योधनेनोरू द्रौपद्या दर्शितावुभौ ॥ ३.४६.२८ ॥
Where Bhīma, with quivering lips, spoke meaningful words after Duryodhana had seen both thighs shown by Draupadī.
3.46.29
ऊरुं भेत्स्यामि ते पाप गदया वज्रकल्पया ।
त्रयोदशानां वर्षाणामन्ते दुर्द्यूतदेविनः ॥ ३.४६.२९ ॥
O sinner, at the end of thirteen years, O evil gambler, I will break your thigh with a mace like a thunderbolt.
3.46.30
सर्वे प्रहरतां श्रेष्ठाः सर्वेचामिततेजसः ।
सर्वेसर्वास्त्रविद्वांसो देवैरपि सुदुर्जयाः ॥ ३.४६.३० ॥
All of them are the best of fighters, of immeasurable splendour, knowers of all weapons, and very hard to conquer even for the gods.
3.46.31
मन्ये मन्युसमुद्भूताः पुत्राणां तव संयुगे ।
अन्तं पार्थाः करिष्यन्ति वीर्यामर्षसमन्विताः ॥ ३.४६.३१ ॥
I think the sons of Pṛthā, born of wrath and endowed with valour and indignation, will bring an end to your sons in battle.
3.46.32
किं कृतं सूत कर्णेन वदता परुषं वचः ।
पर्याप्तं वैरमेतावद्यत्कृष्णा सा सभां गता ॥ ३.४६.३२ ॥
Sūta, what did Karṇa accomplish by speaking harsh words? That Kṛṣṇā was brought into the assembly is enough enmity.

अपीदानीं मम सुतास्तिष्ठेरन्मन्दचेतसः ।
येषां भ्राता गुरुर्ज्येष्ठो विनये नावतिष्ठते ॥ ३.४६.३३ ॥
Will my foolish sons still endure, whose eldest brother and teacher does not abide in restraint?
3.46.34
ममापि वचनं सूत न शुश्रूषति मन्दभाक् ।
दृष्ट्वा मां चक्षुषा हीनं निर्विचेष्टमचेतसम् ॥ ३.४६.३४ ॥
Sūta, even my words that unfortunate one does not heed, seeing me as blind, inactive and senseless.
3.46.35
ये चास्य सचिवा मन्दाः कर्णसौबलकादयः ।
ते तस्य भूयसो दोषान्वर्धयन्ति विचेतसः ॥ ३.४६.३५ ॥
And his foolish counsellors, Karṇa, Saubala and the rest, senseless as they are, increase his great faults.

स्वैरं मुक्ता ह्यपि शराः पार्थेनामिततेजसा ।
निर्दहेयुर्मम सुतान्किंपुनर्मन्युनेरिताः ॥ ३.४६.३६ ॥
Even arrows loosed freely by the son of Pṛthā, of boundless splendour, would burn my sons; how much more those impelled by anger!

हनिस्त्रैलोक्यनाथः स किंनु तस् न निर्जितम् ॥ ३.४६.३८ ॥
He whose counselor, protector and friend is Janārdana himself, the lord and destroyer of the three worlds, how could he not be conquered?

इदं हि सुमहच्चित्रमर्जुनस्येह संजय ।
महादेवेन बाहुभ्यां यत्समेत इति श्रुतिः ॥ ३.४६.३९ ॥
O Sañjaya, this is truly a most wondrous deed of Arjuna here, that he contended with Mahādeva with his own arms, so it is heard.

फल्गुनेन सहायार्थे वह्नेर्दामोदरेण च ॥ ३.४६.४० ॥
