अकर्ता चाकृतज्ञश्च त्यक्तधर्मा प्रियानृतः ॥ ५.९२.४ ॥

भूयसीं वर्तते वृत्तिं न शमे कुरुते मनः ॥ ५.९२.७ ॥

शमे प्रयतमानस्य तव सौभ्रात्रकाङ्क्षिणः ॥ ५.९२.११ ॥

इति व्यवसितास्तेषु वचनं स्यान्निरर्थकम् ॥ ५.९२.१२ ॥

कृत्स्ना मयेयं पृथिवी जितेति ॥ ५.९२.२२ ॥
Duryodhana, the fool, standing in the midst of the elephant host, with an army yoked with chariots and horses, fearless, thinks: 'This entire earth has been conquered by me.'

बद्धं सन्तं मन्यते लब्धमर्थम् ॥ ५.९२.२३ ॥
Dhṛtarāṣṭra's son indeed hopes for a great kingdom on earth without rival; in it, peace alone is not to be found. He thinks the bound one is a gain already obtained.
5.92.24
पर्यस्तेयं पृथिवी कालपक्वा ।
दुर्योधनार्थे पाण्डवान्योद्धुकामाः ।
समागताः सर्वयोधाः पृथिव्यां ।
राजानश्च क्षितिपालैः समेताः ॥ ५.९२.२४ ॥
This earth, ripened by time, is surrounded; for Duryodhana's sake, desiring to fight the Pāṇḍavas, all warriors and kings have gathered together with the rulers of the earth.
5.92.25
सर्वे चैते कृतवैराः पुरस्ता-
त्त्वया राजानो हृतसाराश्च कृष्ण ।
तवोद्वेगात्संश्रिता धार्तराष्ट्रा-
न्सुसंहताः सह कर्णेन वीराः ॥ ५.९२.२५ ॥
O Kṛṣṇa, all these kings once bore enmity toward you and have been robbed of their strength by you. Out of fear of you, those heroes have joined the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra together with Karṇa, and stand firmly united.
5.92.26
न तन्मतं मम दाशार्हवीर ॥ ५.९२.२६ ॥
O hero of the Dāśārhas, that is not my opinion.

कथं मध्यं प्रपद्येथाः शत्रूणां शत्रुकर्शन ॥ ५.९२.२७ ॥
O subduer of enemies, how will you enter into the midst of those many evil-minded ones, seated together, the midst of your enemies?

प्रभावं पौरुषं बुद्धिं जानामि तव शत्रुहन् ॥ ५.९२.२८ ॥
O mighty-armed one, in every way you are hard even for the gods to withstand. O slayer of enemies, I know your power, your manliness, and your wisdom.
5.92.29
या मे प्रीतिः पाण्डवेषु भूयःक सा त्वयि माधव ।
प्रेम्णा च बहुमानाच्च सौहृदाच्च ब्रवीम्यहम् ॥ ५.९२.२९ ॥
O Mādhava, the affection I hold for the Pāṇḍavas is, again, the same toward you. Out of love, great esteem and friendship, I speak these words.

सा किमाख्यायते तुभ्यमन्तरात्माऽसि देहिनां ॥ ५.९२.३० ॥
O lotus-eyed one, the affection born from seeing you, why should it be declared to you? You are the inner self of all embodied beings.
