वक्तुमर्हसि राजेन्द्र यथा पार्थं तथैव माम् ॥ ७.१११.४ ॥

त्वत्प्रयुक्तः पुनरहं किं नकुर्यां महाहवे ॥ ७.१११.५ ॥

लोकत्रयं योधयेयं सदेवासुरमानुषम् ।
त्वत्प्रयुक्तो नरेन्द्रेन्द्र किम्पुनस्तान्सुदुर्बलान् ॥ ७.१११.६ ॥
Sent by you, I could fight the three worlds, with gods, demons and men; O Indra among lords of men, how much more so those very weak ones?

सुयोधनबलं त्वद्य योधयिष्ये समन्ततः ।
विजेष्ये च रणे राजन्सत्यमेतद्ब्रवीमि ते ॥ ७.१११.७ ॥
O king, today I shall fight Suyodhana's army on every side, and I shall conquer in battle. This I tell you truly.

मध्ये सर्वस्य सैन्यस्य वासुदेवस्य शृण्वतः ॥ ७.१११.१० ॥

आर्यां युद्धे मतिं कृत्वा यावद्धन्मि जयद्रथम् ॥ ७.१११.११ ॥
O Mādhava, today protect the king with unfailing care; holding a noble resolve in battle, for as long as I slay Jayadratha.

नृपं निक्षिप्य गच्छेयं निरपेक्षो जयद्रथम् ॥ ७.१११.१२ ॥
O mighty-armed one, entrusting the king either to you or to the great charioteer Pradyumna, I would go without concern toward Jayadratha.
7.111.13
जानीषे हि रणे द्रोणं कुरुषु श्रेष्ठसम्मतम् ।
प्रतिज्ञा चापि ते नित्यं श्रुता द्रोणस्य माधव ॥ ७.१११.१३ ॥
O Mādhava, you know that in battle Droṇa is esteemed the best among the Kurus, and you have always heard of Droṇa's vow.
7.111.14
ग्रहमे धर्मराजस्य भारद्वाजोऽपि गृध्यति ।
शक्तश्चापि रणे द्रोणो निग्रहीतुं युधिष्ठिरम् ॥ ७.१११.१४ ॥
Bhāradvāja (Droṇa) too covets the seizing of the king of dharma, and Droṇa is indeed able in battle to seize Yudhiṣṭhira.
7.111.15
एवं त्वयि समाघाय धर्मराजं नरोत्तमम् ।
अहमद्य गमिष्यामि सैन्धवस्य वधाय हि ॥ ७.१११.१५ ॥

रक्षेणे धर्मराजस्य ध्रुवो हि विजयो मम ॥ ७.१११.१६ ॥

7.111.18
निगृहीते नरश्रेष्ठे भारद्वाजेन माधव ।
सैन्धवस्य वधो न स्यान्ममाप्रीतिस्तथा भवेत् ॥ ७.१११.१८ ॥
O Mādhava, if the best of men is seized by Bhāradvāja, the slaying of the Saindhava will not come about, and it would be displeasing to me as well.
7.111.19
एवङ्गते नरश्रेष्ठे पाण्डवे सत्यवादिति ।
अस्माकं गमनं व्यक्तं वनं प्रति भवेत्पुनः ॥ ७.१११.१९ ॥
With the best of men, the truthful Pāṇḍava, thus taken, it is clear that we will have to go back toward the forest again.
7.111.20
सोऽयं मम जयो व्यक्तं व्यर्थ एव भविष्यति ।
यदि द्रोणो रणे क्रुद्धो निगृह्णीयाद्युधिष्ठिरम् ॥ ७.१११.२० ॥
If Droṇa, angered in battle, were to seize Yudhiṣṭhira, then this my victory will clearly become fruitless.

जयार्थं च यशोर्थं च रक्ष राजानमाहवे ॥ ७.१११.२१ ॥

भारद्वाजाद्भयं नित्यं मन्यमानेन वै प्रभो ॥ ७.१११.२२ ॥
O lord, you are that trust which was deposited upon me by Savyasācin Arjuna, who, always thinking himself in fear of Droṇa, son of Bharadvāja, entrusted it to me.
7.111.23
तस्यापि च महाबाहो नित्यं पश्यामि संयुगे ।
नान्यं हि प्रतियोद्धारं रौक्मिणेयादृते प्रभो ॥ ७.१११.२३ ॥
O mighty-armed lord, in battle I always see no other opponent for him except the son of Rukmiṇī.
7.111.24
मां चापि मन्यते युद्धे भारद्वाजस्य धीमतः ।
सोऽहं संभावनानं चैतामाचार्यवचनं च तत्।
पृष्ठतो नोत्सहे कर्तुं त्वां वा त्यक्तुं महीपते ॥ ७.१११.२४ ॥
The wise Droṇa, son of Bharadvāja, even in battle holds me in esteem; that honour and the teacher's word I cannot cast aside from behind, nor can I abandon you, O lord of the earth.
7.111.25
आचार्यो लघुहस्तत्वादभेद्यकवचावृतः ।
उपलभ्य रणे क्रीडेद्यथा शकुनिना शिशुः ॥ ७.१११.२५ ॥
The teacher, light of hand and covered in impenetrable armour, will play in battle as a child plays with a bird it has caught.
7.111.26
यदि कार्ष्णिर्धनुष्पाणिरिह स्यान्मकरध्वजः ।
तस्मै त्वां विसृजेयं वै स त्वां रक्षेद्यथाऽर्जुनः ॥ ७.१११.२६ ॥
If Kārṣṇi (Arjuna), the makara-bannered one, were here with bow in hand, I would entrust you to him; he would protect you just as Arjuna would.
7.111.27
कुरु त्वमात्मनो गुप्तिं कस्ते गोप्ता गते मयि ।
यः प्रतीयाद्रमे द्रोणं यावद्गच्छामि पाण्डवम् ॥ ७.१११.२७ ॥
Protect yourself, for who will be your protector once I have gone? Who will go up against Droṇa while I am heading for the Pāṇḍava?
7.111.28
मा च ते भयमद्यास्तु राजन्नर्जुनसम्भवम् ।
न स जातु महाबाहुर्भारमुद्यम्य सीदति ॥ ७.१११.२८ ॥
Let there be no fear for you today, O king, from anything Arjuna may do; that mighty-armed one never sinks under the burden he has taken up.
7.111.29
ये च सौवीरका योधास्तथा सैन्धवपौरवाः ।
उदीच्या दाक्षिणात्याश्च ये चान्येऽपि महारथाः ॥ ७.१११.२९ ॥
The Sauvīra warriors, the Saindhavas and Pauravas, the warriors of the north and of the south, and the other great chariot-warriors as well—
7.111.30
ये च कर्णमुखा राजन्रथोदाराः प्रकीर्तितः ।
एतेऽर्जुनस्य क्रुद्धस्य कलां नार्हन्ति षोडशीम् ॥ ७.१११.३० ॥
And those great chariot-warriors, renowned and led by Karṇa, O king—all of them are not worthy of even a sixteenth part of Arjuna when he is enraged.
7.111.31
उद्युक्ताः पृथिवीपाल ससुरासुरमानुषाः ।
सराक्षसगणा राजन्सकिन्नरमहोरगाः ॥ ७.१११.३१ ॥
O protector of the earth, even if gods, asuras and men, together with hosts of rākṣasas, O king, and kinnaras and great serpents, stood arrayed for battle.
7.111.32
जङ्गमस्थावरैः सार्धं नालं पार्थस्य संयुगे ।
एवं ज्ञात्वा महाराज व्येतु ते भीर्धनञ्जये ॥ ७.१११.३२ ॥
Even together with all moving and unmoving beings, they are not enough against Pārtha in battle. Knowing this, great king, let your fear of Dhanañjaya depart.
7.111.33
एवं वीरौ महेष्वासौ कृष्णौ सत्यपराक्रमौ ।
न तत्र कर्मणो व्यापत्कथंचिदपि विद्यते। ॥ ७.१११.३३ ॥
Thus those two heroes, great archers, the two Kṛṣṇas of true valor—in them no failure of action is found in any way.
7.111.34
दैवं कृतास्त्रतां योगममर्षं शौर्यमाहवे ।
कृतज्ञतां दयां चैव भ्रातुस्त्वमनुचिन्तय ॥ ७.१११.३४ ॥
Consider the divine power, the skill in weapons, the discipline, the indignation, the valor in battle, the gratitude and the compassion of your brother.
7.111.35
मयि चापि सहाये ते गच्छमानेऽर्जुनं प्रति ।
द्रोणे चित्रास्त्रतां सह्ख्ये राजंस्त्वमनुचिन्तय ॥ ७.१११.३५ ॥
And when I too go as your helper towards Arjuna, O king, reflect upon Droṇa's wondrous skill in weapons.
7.111.36
आचार्यो हि भृशं राजन्निग्रहे तव गृध्यति ।
प्रतिज्ञामात्मनो रक्षन्सत्यां कर्तुं च भारत ॥ ७.१११.३६ ॥
For the teacher greatly desires your capture, O king, guarding his own vow so as to make it true, O descendant of Bharata.
7.111.37
कुरुष्वाद्यात्मनो गुप्तिं कस्ते गोप्ता गते मयि ।
यस्याहं प्रत्ययात्पार्थं गच्छेयं फल्गुनं प्रति ॥ ७.१११.३७ ॥
Now make provision for your own protection. When I have gone, who will be your protector, on whose trust I could go to Pārtha, Phalguna?
7.111.38
न ह्यहं त्वां महाराज अनिक्षिप्य महाहवे ।
क्वचिद्यास्यामि कौरव्य सत्यमेतद्ब्रवीमि ते ॥ ७.१११.३८ ॥
Indeed, great king, I shall not go anywhere without first placing you in the great battle. Descendant of the Kurus, this truth I speak to you.
7.111.39
न पश्यामि रथं कञ्चिद्यस्ते गोप्ता भवेदिह ।
शक्तं यं मन्यसे राजन्गोप्तारं प्रति पाण्डव ॥ ७.१११.३९ ॥
O king, I see no chariot here that could be your protector, O son of Pāṇḍu, one you would think capable of being your protector.
7.111.40
एतद्विचार्य बहुशो बुद्ध्या बुद्धिमतां वर ।
दृष्ट्वा श्रेयः परं बुद्ध्या ततो राजन्प्रशाधि माम् ॥ ७.१११.४० ॥
Best of the wise, having weighed this again and again with the intellect, and having seen the supreme good by intellect, then, O king, instruct me.
7.111.41
एवमेतन्महाबाहो यथा वदसि माधव ।
न तु मे शुद्ध्यते भावः श्वेताश्वं प्रति मारिष ॥ ७.१११.४१ ॥
So it is, O mighty-armed Mādhava, as you say; but my feeling toward the white-horsed one does not become pure, O sir.
7.111.42
करिष्ये परमं यत्नमात्मनो रक्षणे ह्यहम् ।
गच्छ त्वं समनुज्ञातो यत्र यातो धनञ्जयः ॥ ७.१११.४२ ॥
I shall make supreme effort for the protection of myself. Go, having been permitted, to where Dhanañjaya has gone.
7.111.43
आत्मसंरक्षणं सङ्ख्ये गमनं चार्जुनं प्रति ।
विचार्यैतत्स्वयं बुद्ध्या गमनं तत्र रोचये ॥ ७.१११.४३ ॥
Protecting oneself in battle, and going toward Arjuna — having considered this myself with my own understanding, I approve of going there.

ममापि रक्षणं भीमः करिष्यति महाबलः ॥ ७.१११.४४ ॥
You, mount the chariot and go to where Dhanañjaya has gone; the mighty Bhīma will also guard me.

विराटो द्रुपदश्चैव शिखण्डी च महारथः ॥ ७.१११.४६ ॥
The five Kekaya brothers, the rākṣasa Ghaṭotkaca, Virāṭa, Drupada, and the great charioteer Śikhaṇḍin (will protect me).
7.111.47
धृष्टकेतुश्च बलवान्कुन्तिभोजश्च मातुलः ।
नकुलः सहदेवश्च पाञ्चालाः सृञ्जयास्तथा।
एते समाहितास्तात रक्षिष्यन्ति न संशयः ॥ ७.१११.४७ ॥
The mighty Dhṛṣṭaketu, my maternal uncle Kuntibhoja, Nakula and Sahadeva, and the Pāñcālas and Sṛñjayas — all of them, resolved, will protect me, dear one; there is no doubt.

समासादयितुं शक्तो न च मां धर्षयिष्यति ॥ ७.१११.४८ ॥
Droṇa together with his army, and Kṛtavarman in battle, will not be able to approach and confront me, nor will they assail me.

वारयिष्यति विक्रम्य वेलेव मकरालयम् ॥ ७.१११.४९ ॥
In battle Dhṛṣṭadyumna, tormentor of his foes, will restrain the enraged Droṇa by valour, as the shore holds back the ocean.

न द्रोणस्य बलं तात क्रमेत्तत्र कथञ्चन ॥ ७.१११.५० ॥
