नागानां शृणु शब्दं च पत्तीनां च सहस्रशः ।
सादिनां द्रवतां चैव शृणु कम्पयतां महीम् ॥ ७.११०.८० ॥
Hear the sound of the elephants, and of the foot-soldiers by the thousands, the horsemen, those rushing forth and those shaking the earth.
7.110.81
पुरस्तात्सैन्धवानीकं द्रोणानीकं च पृष्ठतः ।
बहुत्वाद्धि नरव्याघ्र देवेन्द्रमपि पीडयेत् ॥ ७.११०.८१ ॥
In front is the army of the Saindhavas, and behind it the army of Droṇa. O tiger among men, by their multitude it could distress even the lord of the gods.
7.110.82
अपर्यन्ते बले मग्नो जह्यादपि च जीवितम् ।
तस्मिंश्च निहते युद्धे कथं जीवेत मादृशः ॥ ७.११०.८२ ॥
One sunk in an endless army might even give up life; and with those slain in that battle, how could one such as I go on living?
7.110.83
सर्वथा समनुप्राप्तः सुकृच्छ्रं त्वयि जीवति ।
श्यामो युवा गुडाकेशो दर्शनीयश्च पाण्डवः ॥ ७.११०.८३ ॥
While you live, we have fallen into great distress in every way; the dark-hued, young, thick-haired, handsome Pāṇḍava (Arjuna).
7.110.84
लघ्वस्त्रश्चित्रयोधी च प्रविष्टस्यात भारतीम् ।
सूर्योदये महाबाहुर्दिवसश्चातिवर्तते ॥ ७.११०.८४ ॥
Swift in weapons and a wondrous warrior, he will have entered the Bhārata army; and at sunrise that mighty-armed one passes beyond the day.
7.110.85
तन्न जानामि वार्ष्णेय यदि जीवति वा न वा ।
कुरूणां चापि तत्सैन्यं सागरप्रतिमं महत् ॥ ७.११०.८५ ॥
O descendant of Vṛṣṇi, I do not know whether he is alive or not, nor that great army of the Kurus, which is like the ocean.
7.110.86
एक एव च बीभत्सुः प्रविष्टस्तात भारतीम् ।
अविपह्यां महाबाहुः सुरैरपि महाहवे ॥ ७.११०.८६ ॥
Dear one, Bībhatsu alone, that mighty-armed one, has entered the Bhārata army, which even the gods cannot withstand in the great battle.
7.110.87
न हि मे वर्तते बुद्धिरद्य युद्धे कथञ्चन ।
द्रोणोऽपि रभसो युद्धे मम पीडयते बलम् ॥ ७.११०.८७ ॥
Today in battle my mind is in no way resolute, for even the fierce Droṇa is afflicting my strength in the fight.
7.110.88
प्रत्यक्षं ते महाबाहो यथाऽसौ चरति द्विजः ।
युगपच्च समेतानां कार्याणां त्वं विचक्षणः।
महार्थं लघुसंयुक्तं कर्तुमर्हसि मानद ॥ ७.११०.८८ ॥
O mighty-armed one, you see before your eyes how that brahmin (Droṇa) moves; you are skilled in tasks that come together at once; O giver of honour, it is fitting that you accomplish this task of great purpose with ease.
7.110.89
तस्य मे सर्वकार्येषु कार्यमेतन्मतं महत् ।
अर्जुनस्य परित्राणां कर्तव्यमिति संयुगे ॥ ७.११०.८९ ॥
Among all my tasks this is considered the great one: in battle, the protection of Arjuna must be carried out.
7.110.90
नाहं शोचामि दाशार्हं गोप्तारं जगतः पतिम् ।
स हि शक्तो रणे तात त्रीँल्लोकानपि सङ्गतान् ॥ ७.११०.९० ॥
I do not grieve for the Dāśārha, the protector and lord of the world; for he, dear one, is able in battle to withstand even the three worlds combined.
7.110.91
विजेतुं पुरुषव्याघ्रः सत्यमेतद्ब्रवीमि ते ।
किम्पुनर्धार्तराष्ट्रस्य बलमेतत्सुदुर्बलम् ॥ ७.११०.९१ ॥
Tiger among men, I tell you the truth: even to conquer this army of Dhṛtarāṣṭra's son, which is so very weak, is easy for you, so how much more so?
7.110.92
अर्जुनस्त्वेष वार्ष्णेय पीडितो बहुभिर्युधि ।
प्रजह्यात्समरे प्राणांस्तस्माद्विन्दामि कश्मलम् ॥ ७.११०.९२ ॥
O descendant of Vṛṣṇi, Arjuna is afflicted in battle by many; he might give up his life in the fight, and therefore I feel distress.
7.110.93
तस्य त्वं पदवीं गच्छ गच्छेयुस्त्वादृशा यथा ।
तादृशस्येदृशे काले मादृशेनाभिनोदितः ॥ ७.११०.९३ ॥
Follow his path, as men like you would follow; at such a time, urged on by one like me, go along the path of one like him.
7.110.94
रणे वृष्णिप्रवीराणां द्वावेवातिरथौ स्मृतौ ।
प्रद्युम्नश्च महाबाहुस्त्वं च सात्वत विश्रुतः ॥ ७.११०.९४ ॥
In battle, among the heroes of the Vṛṣṇis, only two are remembered as great chariot-warriors: the mighty-armed Pradyumna, and you, O Sātvata, who are renowned.
7.110.95
अस्त्रे नारायणसमः सङ्कर्षणसमो बले ।
वीरतायां नरव्याघ्र धनञ्जयसमो ह्यसि ॥ ७.११०.९५ ॥
In weapons you are equal to Nārāyaṇa, in strength equal to Saṅkarṣaṇa; tiger among men, in heroism you are indeed equal to Dhanañjaya.
7.110.96
भीष्मद्रोणावतिक्रम्य सर्वयुद्धविशारदम् ।
त्वामेव पुरुषव्याघ्रं लोके सन्तः प्रचक्षते ॥ ७.११०.९६ ॥
Surpassing even Bhīṣma and Droṇa, it is you, skilled in all forms of war, tiger among men, whom the good in the world proclaim as the best.
7.110.97
सदेवासुरगन्धर्वान्सकिन्नरमहोरगान् ।
योधयेच्च जगत्सर्वं विजयेत रिपून्बहून् ॥ ७.११०.९७ ॥
Let him fight the whole world, together with gods, asuras, gandharvas, kinnaras and great serpents, and conquer many enemies.
7.110.98
इति ब्रुवन्ति लोकेषु जनास्तव गुणांस्तथा ।
समागमेषु सर्वेषु पृथगेव च सर्वदा।
नाशक्यं विद्यते लोके सात्यकेरिति माधव ॥ ७.११०.९८ ॥
Thus people in the worlds speak of your qualities, in all assemblies, singly and always. O Mādhava, nothing is impossible for Sātyaki in the world.
7.110.99
तत्त्वां यदभिवक्ष्यामि तत्कुरुष्व महाबल ॥ ७.११०.९९ ॥
Therefore, O mighty one, do what I shall tell you.
7.110.100
सम्भावना हि लोकस्य मम पार्थस्य चोभयोः ।
नान्यथा तां महाबाहो सम्प्रकर्तुमिहार्हसि ॥ ७.११०.१०० ॥
This is the expectation of the world, of me, and of Pārtha, both of us. O mighty-armed one, you ought to bring it about here, not otherwise.
7.110.101
परित्यज्य प्रियान्प्राणान्रणे चर विभीतवत् ।
न हि शैनेय दाशार्हा रणे रक्षन्ति जीवितम् ॥ ७.११०.१०१ ॥
Abandoning dear life-breaths, move in battle like one without fear. O Śaineya, the Dāśārhas do not protect their lives in battle.
7.110.102
अयुद्धमनवस्थानं सङ्ग्रामे च पलायनम् ।
भीरूणामसतां मार्गे नैष दाशार्हसेवितः ॥ ७.११०.१०२ ॥
Not fighting, lack of steadiness, and fleeing in battle are the path of cowards and the base; the Dāśārhas do not follow this path.
7.110.103
तवार्जुनो गुरुस्तात धर्मात्मा शिनिपुङ्गच ।
वासुदेवो गुरुश्चापि तव पार्थस्य धीमतः ॥ ७.११०.१०३ ॥
Dear one, bull of the Śinis, righteous Arjuna is your teacher, and Vāsudeva is your teacher too, as is the wise son of Pṛthā.
7.110.104
कारणद्वयमेतद्धि जानंस्त्वामहमब्रुवम् ।
मावमंस्था वचो मह्यं गुरुस्तव गुरोर्ह्यहम् ॥ ७.११०.१०४ ॥
Knowing these two reasons, I have spoken to you. Do not disregard my word, for I am your teacher, and the teacher of your teacher.
7.110.105
वासुदेवमतं चैव मम चैवार्जुनस्य च ।
सत्यमेतन्मयोक्तं ते याहि यत्र धनञ्जयः ॥ ७.११०.१०५ ॥
This is the opinion of Vāsudeva, and of me and Arjuna as well; what I have told you is true. Go to where Dhanañjaya is.
7.110.106
एतद्वचनमाज्ञाय मम सत्यपराक्रम ।
प्रविशैतद्बलं तात धार्तराष्ट्रस्य दुर्मतेः ॥ ७.११०.१०६ ॥
Understanding this word of mine, O you of true valour, dear one, enter this army of Dhṛtarāṣṭra's ill-minded son.
7.110.107

यथार्हमात्मनः कर्म रणे सात्वत दर्शय ॥ ७.११०.१०७ ॥
Having entered rightly and encountered the great charioteers, O descendant of Sātvata, display in battle the valour that befits you.
