4.76.1
विराटस्य वचः श्रुत्वा पार्थिवस्य महात्मनः ।
उत्तरः प्रत्युवाचेदमभिपन्नो युधिष्ठिरे ॥ ४.७६.१ ॥
Having heard the words of the great-souled king Virāṭa, Uttara humbly replied to Yudhiṣṭhira as follows.
4.76.2
प्रसादनं प्राप्तकालं पाण्डवस्याभिरोचये ।
तेजस्वी बलवाञ्शूरो राजराजेश्वरः प्रभुः ॥ ४.७६.२ ॥
Now is the proper time to make peace with the Pāṇḍava, and I approve of it. Let the radiant, mighty, heroic lord, the king of kings (Virāṭa), do so.
4.76.3
उत्तरां च स्वसारं मे पार्थस्यामित्रकर्शन ।
प्रणिपत्य प्रयच्छामस्ततः शिष्टा भवामहे। ॥ ४.७६.३ ॥
O subduer of foes, let us bow to Pārtha and offer him my sister Uttarā; then we shall be honored.
4.76.4
वयं च सर्वे सामात्याः कुन्तीपुत्रं युधिष्ठिरम् ।
प्रसाद्याभ्युपतिष्ठामो राजन्किं करवागहे ॥ ४.७६.४ ॥
All of us, together with the ministers, shall appease Yudhiṣṭhira, son of Kuntī, and wait upon him. O king, what shall we do?
4.76.5
राजंस्त्वमसि संग्रामे गृहीतस्तेन मोक्षितः ।
एतेषां बाहुवीर्येण गावश्च विजितास्त्वया ॥ ४.७६.५ ॥
O king, you were seized in battle and released by him; and by the strength of these men's arms your cattle were also won back.
4.76.6
कुरवो निर्जिता यस्मात्संग्रामेऽमिततेजसः ।
एष तत्सर्वमकरोत्कुन्तीपुत्रो युधिष्ठिरः ॥ ४.७६.६ ॥
Because the Kurus of immeasurable splendor were defeated in battle, Yudhiṣṭhira, son of Kuntī, accomplished all of this.
4.76.7
अर्च्याः पूज्याश्च मान्याश्च प्रत्युत्थेयाश्च पाण्डवाः ।
अर्वार्हाश्चाभिवाद्याश्च प्राप्तकालं च मे मतम् ॥ ४.७६.७ ॥
The Pāṇḍavas are worthy of worship, reverence and honour; they should be risen for, welcomed with the arghya offering, and greeted with salutation. The time is right, I think.
4.76.8
पूज्यतां पूजनीयाश्च महाभागाश्च पाण्डवाः ।
न ह्येते कुपिता शेषं कुर्युराशीविषोपमाः ॥ ४.७६.८ ॥
The Pāṇḍavas are worthy of worship and reverence, greatly fortunate. When angered they are like venomous snakes, and would leave nothing behind.
4.76.9
तस्माच्छीघ्रं प्रपद्येम कुन्तीपुत्रं युधिष्ठिरम् ।
प्रसादयाम्यहं तत्र सह पार्थेर्महात्मभिः ॥ ४.७६.९ ॥
Therefore let us quickly go to Yudhiṣṭhira, the son of Kuntī. There I will appease him, together with the great-souled sons of Pṛthā.
4.76.10
उत्तरामग्रतः कृत्वा शिरःस्नातां कृताञ्जलिः ।
जानाम्यहमिदं सर्वमेषां तु बलपौरुषम् ।
कुले च जन्म महति फल्गुनस्य च विक्रमम् ॥ ४.७६.१० ॥
With Uttarā set in front, bathed with head-washing and hands folded, I know the strength and manly valour of all of them, the birth in a great family, and the prowess of Phalguna (Arjuna).
4.76.11
उत्तरात्पाण्डवाञ्श्रुत्वा विराटो रिपुसूदनः ।
उत्तरं चापि संप्रेक्ष्य प्राप्तकालमचिन्तयत् ॥ ४.७६.११ ॥
Having heard of the Pāṇḍavas from Uttara, and having also looked at Uttara, Virāṭa, destroyer of enemies, considered the time to be right.
4.76.12
ततो विराटः सामात्यः सहपुत्रः सबान्धवः ।
उत्तरामग्रतः कृत्वा शिरःस्नातां कृताञ्जलिः।
भूमौ निपतितस्तूर्णं पाण्डवस्य समीपतः ॥ ४.७६.१२ ॥
Then Virāṭa, with his ministers, sons and kinsmen, placing Uttarā in front, his head bathed and hands folded, swiftly fell to the ground near the Pāṇḍava.
4.76.13
प्रसीदतु महाराजो धर्मपुत्रो युधिष्ठिरः ।
प्रच्छन्नरूपवेषत्वान्नाग्निर्दृष्टस्तृणैर्वृतः ॥ ४.७६.१३ ॥
May the great king, Dharma's son Yudhiṣṭhira, be pleased. Because of your concealed form and disguise, the fire covered with straw was not seen.
4.76.14
शिरसाऽभिप्रपन्नोस्मि सपुत्रपरिचारकः ॥ ४.७६.१४ ॥
With my head bowed, together with my sons and attendants, I have fully taken refuge in you.
4.76.15
यदस्माभिरजानद्भिरधिक्षिप्तो महीपतिः ।
अवमत्य कृतं सर्वमज्ञानात्प्राकृते यथा।
क्षन्तुमर्हसि तत्सर्वं धर्मज्ञो धर्मवत्सल ॥ ४.७६.१५ ॥
Not knowing who you were, we insulted the lord of the earth. Whatever was done in ignorance, disrespecting you as if you were a common man, you should forgive it all, O knower of dharma, O lover of dharma.
4.76.16
यदिदं मामकं राष्ट्रं पुरं राज्यं च पार्थिव ।
सदण्डकोशं विसृजे तव वश्योस्मि पार्थिव ।
वयं च सर्वे सामात्या भवन्तं शरणं गताः ॥ ४.७६.१६ ॥
O king, this my realm, city and kingdom, with army and treasury, I give up to you. O king, I am under your power. All of us, with ministers, have taken you as our refuge.
4.76.17
तं धर्मराजः पतितं महीतले ।
सबन्धुवर्गं प्रसमीक्ष्य पार्थिवम् ।
उवाच वाक्यं परलोकदर्शनः ।
प्रनष्टमन्युर्गतशोकमत्सरः ॥ ४.७६.१७ ॥
Seeing the king fallen on the ground, with his kinsmen, Dharmarāja, who sees beyond this world, whose anger has vanished, free from grief and envy, spoke these words.
4.76.18
समीक्ष्य तुष्टोस्मि नरेन्द्रसत्तम ॥ ४.७६.१८ ॥
Having looked upon you, best of kings, I am pleased.
4.76.19
क्षान्तमेतन्महाबाहो यन्मां वदसि पार्थिव ।
न चैव किंचित्पश्यामि विकृतं ते नराधिप ॥ ४.७६.१९ ॥
Forgiven is this, O mighty-armed one, what you say to me, O king. Nor do I see anything amiss in you, O lord of men.
4.76.20
ततो विराटः परमामितुष्टः ।
समेत्य राज्ञा समयं चकार।
राज्यं च सर्वं विससर्ज तस्मै ।
सदण्डकोशं सपुरं महात्मा ॥ ४.७६.२० ॥
Then Virāṭa, greatly pleased, met the king and made an agreement; and he gave up all his kingdom to him, together with army, treasury and city, the great-souled one.
