5.24.1
यथाऽऽत्थ मे पाण्डव तत्तथैव ।
कुरून्कुरुश्रेष्ठ जनं च पृच्छसि।
अनामयास्तात मनस्विनस्ते ।
कुरुश्रेष्ठान्पृच्छसि पार्थ यांस्त्वम् ॥ ५.२४.१ ॥
Sañjaya said: Pāṇḍava, it is just as you have said to me. You ask about the Kurus, the best of the Kurus, and the people. Dear one, those high-minded ones are free from illness. Pārtha, the best of the Kurus about whom you ask are well.
5.24.2
सन्त्येव वृद्धाः साधवो धार्तराष्ट्रे ।
सन्त्येव पापाः पाण्डव तस्य विद्धि।
दद्याद्रिपुभ्योऽपि हि धार्तराष्ट्रः ।
कुतो दायांल्लोपयेद्ब्राह्मणानाम् ॥ ५.२४.२ ॥
Sañjaya said: Among the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra there are indeed elders and good men; know, Pāṇḍava, that there are also wicked ones among them. Even the son of Dhṛtarāṣṭra would give to his enemies; how then would he deprive the brahmins of their shares?
5.24.3
यद्युष्मासु वर्ततेऽसावधर्म्य-
मद्रुग्धेषु द्रुग्धवत्तन्न साधु।
मित्रध्रुक् स्याद्धृतराष्ट्रस्य पुत्रो ।
युष्मान्द्विपन्साधुवृत्तानसाधुः ॥ ५.२४.३ ॥
Sañjaya said: If that son of Dhṛtarāṣṭra behaves unrighteously toward you, who have done him no harm, it is like harming the harmless, and that is not good. The son of Dhṛtarāṣṭra would be a betrayer of a friend; he who hates you, who conduct yourselves well, is a wicked man.
5.24.4
स चापि जानाति भृशं च तप्यते ।
शोचत्यन्तः स्थविरोऽजातशत्रो।
शृणोति हि ब्राह्मणानां समेत्य ।
मित्रद्रोहः पातकेभ्यो यरीयान् ॥ ५.२४.४ ॥
He too knows this and is greatly tormented; that aged man, O Ajātaśatru, grieves inwardly. Meeting with brahmins, he hears that betrayal of a friend is graver than all sins.
5.24.5
स्मरन्ति तुभ्यं नरदेव सङ्गमे ।
युद्धे च जिष्णोश्च युधां प्रणेतुः।
समुद्धुष्टे दुन्दुभिशङ्खशब्दे ।
गदापाणिं भीमसेनं स्मरन्ति ॥ ५.२४.५ ॥
O lord of men, in assembly and in battle they remember you. They remember the victorious Arjuna, the leader of warriors, and when the sounds of drums and conches rise, they remember Bhīmasena, mace in hand.
5.24.6
माद्रीसुतौ चापि तथाऽऽजिमध्ये ।
सर्वा दिशः संपतन्तौ स्मरन्ति।
सेनां वर्षन्तौ शग्वैपरजमं ।
महारथौ समरे दुष्प्रकम्पौ ॥ ५.२४.६ ॥
In the midst of battle they remember also the two sons of Mādrī, the great charioteers who rush in every direction, raining arrows upon the army, unshaken in war.
5.24.7
समीकुर्याः प्रज्ञयाऽजातशत्रो ॥ ५.२४.७ ॥
O Ajātaśatru, make peace with them through wisdom.
5.24.8
न कामार्थं सन्त्यजेयुर्हि धर्मं ।
पाण्डोः सुताः सर्व एवेन्द्रकल्पाः ।
त्वमेवैतत्प्रज्ञयाऽजातशत्रो ।
समीकुर्या येन शर्माप्नुयुस्ते ॥ ५.२४.८ ॥
They would not abandon righteousness for desire or wealth. All the sons of Pāṇḍu are like Indra. You alone, O Ajātaśatru, should settle this with wisdom, so that they may obtain peace.
5.24.9
धार्तराष्ट्राः पाण्डवाः सृञ्जयाश्च ।
ये चाप्यन्ते सन्निविष्टा नरेन्द्राः ।
यन्मां ब्रवीद्धृतराष्ट्रो निशाया-
मजातशत्रो वचनं पिता ते ॥ ५.२४.९ ॥
The sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra, the Pāṇḍavas, the Sṛñjayas, and the kings gathered there — O Ajātaśatru, hear the words your father Dhṛtarāṣṭra spoke to me at night.
5.24.10
सहामात्यः सहपुत्रश्च राजन् ।
समेत्य तां वाचमिमां निबोध ॥ ५.२४.१० ॥
Together with ministers and sons — O king, come together and understand this speech.
