7.126.1
व्यूहेष्वालोड्यमानेषु पाण्डवानां ततस्ततः ।
सुदूरमन्वयुः पार्थाः पाञ्चालाः सह सोमकैः ॥ ७.१२६.१ ॥
As the Pāṇḍavas were shaken and scattered here and there in their battle formations, the sons of Pṛthā and the Pāñcālas, together with the Somakas, followed them very far.
7.126.2
वर्तमाने तथा रौद्रे सङ्ग्रामे रोमहर्षणे ।
सङ्क्षये जगतस्तीव्रे युगान्त इव भारत ॥ ७.१२६.२ ॥
O Bhārata, while such a terrible, hair-raising battle, severe in the destruction of the world, was raging, it was as if the end of an age had come.
7.126.3
द्रोणे युधि पराक्रान्ते नर्दमाने मुहुर्मुहुः ।
पाञ्चालेषु च क्षीणेषु वध्यमानेषु पाण्डुषु ॥ ७.१२६.३ ॥
When Droṇa, advancing valiantly in battle and roaring again and again, and the Pāñcālas and the Pāṇḍavas were weakened and being slain.
7.126.4
नापश्यच्छरणं कञ्चिद्वर्मराजो युधिष्ठिरः ।
चिन्तयामास राजेन्द्र कथमेतद्भविष्यति ॥ ७.१२६.४ ॥
Yudhiṣṭhira, the king of dharma, saw no refuge anywhere. O lord of kings, he began to ponder how this would come to be.
7.126.5
ततो विक्ष्य दिशः सर्वाः सव्यसाचिदिदृक्षया ।
युधिष्ठिरो ददर्शाथ नैव पार्थं न माधवम् ॥ ७.१२६.५ ॥
Then, desiring to see Savyasācin, Yudhiṣṭhira looked in all directions, and he saw neither Pārtha nor Mādhava.
7.126.6
सोऽपश्यन्नरशार्दूलं वानरर्षभलक्षणम् ।
गाण्डीवस्य च निर्घोषमशृण्वन्व्यथितेन्द्रियः ॥ ७.१२६.६ ॥
He did not see the tiger among men, the one marked by the banner of the monkey-bull, nor did he hear the twang of the Gāṇḍīva; his senses were troubled.
7.126.7
अपश्यन्सात्यकिं चापि वृष्णीनां प्रवरं रथम् ।
चिन्तयाभिपरीताङ्गो धर्मराजो युधिष्ठिरः।
नाध्यगच्छत्तदा शान्ति तावपश्यन्नरोत्तमौ ॥ ७.१२६.७ ॥
Yudhiṣṭhira, the king of dharma, his limbs overcome with anxiety, did not see Sātyaki, the foremost chariot-warrior of the Vṛṣṇis, and found no peace then, not seeing those two best of men.
7.126.8
लोकोपक्रोशभीरुत्वाद्वर्मराजो महामनाः ।
अचिन्तयन्महाबाहुः शैनेयस्य रथं प्रति ॥ ७.१२६.८ ॥
Out of fear of public reproach, the great-minded king of dharma, the mighty-armed one, thought of Śaineya's chariot.
7.126.9
पदवीं प्रेषितश्चैव फल्गुनस्य मया रणे ।
शैनेयः सात्यकिः सत्यो मित्राणामभयङ्करः ॥ ७.१२६.९ ॥
Śaineya Sātyaki, whom I sent in battle onto the path of Phalguna, truthful and a fearless protector of friends.
7.126.10
तदिदं ह्येकमेवासीद्द्द्विधा जातं ममाऽद्य वै ।
सात्यकिश्च हि विज्ञेयः पाण्डवश्च धनञ्जयः ॥ ७.१२६.१० ॥
That was indeed one; today it has split in two for me. Sātyaki and the Pāṇḍava Dhanañjaya are to be recognised as one.
7.126.11
सात्यकिं प्रेषयित्वा तु पाण्डवस्य पदानुगम् ।
सात्वतस्यापि कं युद्धे प्रेषयिष्ये पदानुगम् ॥ ७.१२६.११ ॥
Having sent Sātyaki to follow the path of the Pāṇḍava, whom else in battle shall I send to follow the path of the Sātvata?
7.126.12
परिष्यामि प्रयत्नेन भ्रातुरन्वेषणं यदि ।
युयुधानमनन्विष्य लोको मां गर्हयिष्यति ॥ ७.१२६.१२ ॥
If I search with effort for my brother, the world will reproach me for not having searched for Yuyudhāna (Sātyaki).
7.126.13
भ्रातुरन्वेषणं कृत्वा धर्मपुत्रो युधिष्ठिरः ।
परित्यजति वार्ष्णेयं सात्यकिं सत्यविक्रमम् ॥ ७.१२६.१३ ॥
Having searched for his brother, Dharma's son Yudhiṣṭhira abandons Vārṣṇeya Sātyaki, whose valour is true.
7.126.14
लोकापवादभीरुत्वात्सोऽहं पार्थं वृकोदरम् ।
पदवीं प्रेषयिष्यामि माधवस्य महात्मनः ॥ ७.१२६.१४ ॥
Out of fear of public blame, I shall send Pārtha and Vṛkodara along the path of the great-souled Mādhava.
7.126.15
यथैव च मम प्रीतिरर्जुने शत्रुमूदने ।
तथैव वृष्णिवीरेऽपि सात्वते युद्धदुर्मदे ॥ ७.१२६.१५ ॥
Just as my affection is for Arjuna, O destroyer of foes, so it is also for the Vṛṣṇi hero Sātvata, reckless in battle.
7.126.16
अतिभारे नियुक्तश्च मया शैनेयनन्दनः ।
स तु मित्रोपरोधेन गौरवात्तु महाबलः।
प्रविष्टो भारतीं सेनां मकरः सागरं यथा ॥ ७.१२६.१६ ॥
Sātyaki, son of Śini's line, appointed by me to a heavy charge, out of regard for his friend and out of respect, the very mighty one entered the army of the Bhāratas as a sea-monster enters the ocean.
7.126.17
असौ हि श्रूयते शब्दः शूराणामनिवर्तिनाम् ।
मिथः संयुध्यमानानं वृष्णिवीरेण धीमता ॥ ७.१२६.१७ ॥
That sound is heard — of heroes who do not turn back, fighting against one another with the wise Vṛṣṇi hero.
7.126.18
प्राप्तकालं सुबलवन्निश्चितं बहुधा हि मे ।
तत्रैव पाण्डवेयस्य भीमसेनस्य धन्विनः।
गमनं रोचते मह्यं यत्र यातौ महारथौ ॥ ७.१२६.१८ ॥
The time has come, and in many ways it is my firm resolve. To go to exactly where the archer Bhīmasena, son of Pāṇḍu, is — there I wish to go, where the two great chariot-warriors went.
7.126.19
न चाप्यसह्यं भीमस्य विद्यते भुवि किञ्चिन ॥ ७.१२६.१९ ॥
For Bhīma there is nothing unbearable on earth.
7.126.20
शक्तो ह्येष रणे यत्तः पृथिव्यां सर्वधन्विनाम् ।
स्वबाहुबलमास्थाय प्रतिव्यूहितुमञ्जसा ॥ ७.१२६.२० ॥
Vigilant in battle, he is able to face all the archers on earth; relying on the strength of his own arms, he can readily counter the enemy's array.
7.126.21
यस्य बाहुबलं सर्वे समाश्रित्य महात्मनः ।
वनवासान्निवृत्ताः स्म न च युद्धेषु निर्जिताः ॥ ७.१२६.२१ ॥
Relying on the strength of the arms of that great-souled one, they all returned from forest exile and were never defeated in battles.
7.126.22
इतो गते भीमसेने सात्वतं प्रति पाण्डवे ।
सनाथौ भवितारौ हि युधि सात्वतफल्गुनौ ॥ ७.१२६.२२ ॥
When Bhīmasena has gone from here toward the Sātvata (Kṛṣṇa), Sātvata and Phalguna (Arjuna) will indeed have protectors in battle.
7.126.23
कामं त्वशोचनीयौ तौ रणे सात्वतफल्गुनौ ।
रक्षितौ वासुदेवेन स्वयं शस्त्रविशारदौ ॥ ७.१२६.२३ ॥
Surely those two, Sātvata and Phalguna (Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna), are not to be grieved for in battle; protected by Vāsudeva himself, both are skilled in weapons.
7.126.24
अवश्यं तु मया कार्यमात्मनः शोकनाशनम् ।
तस्माद्भीमं नियोक्ष्यामि सात्वतस्य पदानुगम् ॥ ७.१२६.२४ ॥
Surely I must do what removes my own grief; therefore I will send Bhīma to follow in the footsteps of the Sātvata (Kṛṣṇa).
7.126.25
ततः प्रतिकृतं मन्ये विधानं सात्यकिं प्रति ।
एवं निश्चित्य मनसा धर्मपुत्रो युधिष्ठिरः। ॥ ७.१२६.२५ ॥
Then I think a fitting remedy was devised against Sātyaki. Having resolved thus in his mind, Yudhiṣṭhira, the son of Dharma,
7.126.26
यन्तारमब्रवीद्राजा भीमं प्रति नयस्व माम् ॥ ७.१२६.२६ ॥
The king said to the charioteer, "Take me toward Bhīma."
7.126.27
धर्मराजवचः श्रुत्वा सारथिर्हयकोविदः ।
रथं हेमपरिष्कारं भीमान्तिकमुपानयत् ॥ ७.१२६.२७ ॥
Having heard the words of the king of Dharma, the charioteer skilled in horses brought the chariot adorned with gold near Bhīma.
7.126.28
भीमसेनमनुज्ञाप्य प्राप्तकालमचिन्तयत् ।
कश्मलं प्राविशद्राजा बहु तत्र समादिशत् ॥ ७.१२६.२८ ॥
Having obtained leave from Bhīmasena and considering the proper moment, the king fell into bewilderment and gave many instructions there.
7.126.29
स कश्मलसमाविष्टो भीममाहूय पार्थिवः ।
अब्रवीद्वचनं राजन्कुन्तीपुत्रो युधिष्ठिरः। ॥ ७.१२६.२९ ॥
That king, overcome with bewilderment, called Bhīma and spoke these words, O king: Yudhiṣṭhira, son of Kuntī.
7.126.30
अब्रवीद्वचनं राजन्कुन्तीपुत्रो युधिष्ठिरः ।
यः सदेवान्सगन्धर्वान्दैत्यांश्चैकरथोऽजयत्। ॥ ७.१२६.३० ॥
Yudhiṣṭhira, the son of Kuntī, spoke these words, O king: he who with a single chariot conquered the gods, the Gandharvas and the Daityas...
7.126.31
तस्य लक्ष्म न पश्यामि भीमसेनानुजस्य ते ।
ततोऽब्रवीद्धर्मराजं भीमसेनस्तथागतम्।
नैवाद्राक्षं नचाश्रौषं तव कश्मलमीदृशम् ॥ ७.१२६.३१ ॥
Bhīmasena, seeing the king of dharma in that state, said: I see no sign of Bhīmasena's younger brother. I have never seen or heard of such confusion in you.
7.126.32
पुरातिदुःखदीर्णानां भवान्गतिरभूद्धि नः ।
उत्तिष्ठोत्तिष्ठ राजेन्द्र शाधि किं करवाणि ते ॥ ७.१२६.३२ ॥
Formerly, when we were torn apart by great sorrow, you were indeed our refuge. Rise, rise, lord of kings! Command me; what shall I do for you?
7.126.33
न ह्यसाध्यमकार्यं वा विद्यते मम मानद ।
आज्ञापय कुरुश्रेष्ठ मा च शोके मनः कृथाः ॥ ७.१२६.३३ ॥
O giver of honour, nothing is unattainable or undoable for me. Command me, best of the Kurus, and do not set your mind on grief.
7.126.34
तमब्रवीदश्रुपूर्णः कृष्णसर्प इव श्वसन् ।
भीमसेनमिदं वाक्यं प्रम्लानवदनो नृपः ॥ ७.१२६.३४ ॥
The king, filled with tears and his face withered, breathing like a black serpent, spoke these words to Bhīmasena.
7.126.35
श्रूयते पाञ्चजन्यस्य यथा शङ्खस्य निस्वनः ।
पूरितो वासुदेवेन संरब्धेन यशस्विना ॥ ७.१२६.३५ ॥
The sound of the Pāñcajanya conch is heard, as if filled by the enraged, famous Vāsudeva.
7.126.36
नूनमद्य हतः शेते तव भ्राता धनञ्जयः ।
तस्मिन्विनिहते नूनं युध्यतेऽसौ जनार्दनः ॥ ७.१२६.३६ ॥
Surely your brother Dhanañjaya lies slain today; and with him slain, surely Janārdana is fighting on.
7.126.37
यस्य सत्ववतो वीर्यं ह्युपजीवन्ति पाण्डवाः ।
यं भयेष्वभिगच्छन्ति सहस्राक्षमिवामराः ॥ ७.१२६.३७ ॥
On whose might the Pāṇḍavas rely, and to whom they resort in dangers, as the immortals resort to the thousand-eyed Indra.
7.126.38
स शूरः सैन्धवप्रेप्सुरन्वयाद्भारतीं चमूम् ।
तस्य वै गमनं विद्मो भीम नावर्तनं पुनः ॥ ७.१२६.३८ ॥
That hero, desiring the Sindhu king, followed the Bhārata army. O Bhīma, we know his going, but not his returning again.
7.126.39
श्यामो युवा गुडाकेशो दर्शनीयो महारथः ।
व्यूढोरस्को महाबाहुर्मत्तद्विरदविक्रमः ॥ ७.१२६.३९ ॥
Dark-hued, young, thick-haired Arjuna, pleasing to behold, the great charioteer, broad-chested, mighty-armed, with the valour of a rutting elephant.
7.126.40
चकोरनेत्रस्ताम्रास्यो द्विषतां भयवर्धनः ।
मम प्रियहितार्थं च शक्रलोकादिहागतः ॥ ७.१२६.४० ॥
With eyes like those of the cakora bird and a copper-red face, increasing the fear of his enemies, he has come here from Indra's world for the sake of my dear welfare.
7.126.41
वृद्धोपसेवी धृतिमान्कृतज्ञः सत्यसङ्गरः ।
प्रविष्टो महतीं सेनामपर्यन्तां धनञ्जयः ॥ ७.१२६.४१ ॥
Arjuna, the winner of wealth, who serves the elders, is steadfast, grateful and true to his vows, entered the vast, endless army.
7.126.42
प्रविष्टे च चमूं घोरामर्जुने शत्रुनाशने ।
प्रेषितः सात्वतो वीरः फल्गुनस्य पदानुगः ॥ ७.१२६.४२ ॥
When Arjuna, destroyer of enemies, had entered the terrible army, the hero Sātvata (Sātyaki), who follows in Phalguna's footsteps, was sent after him.
7.126.43
तस्याभिगमनं जाने भीम नावर्तनं पुनः ।
तदिदं मम भद्रं ते शोकस्थानमरिन्दम ॥ ७.१२६.४३ ॥
I know of his going toward them, O Bhīma, but not of his returning again. That is the cause of my grief. May good fortune be yours, subduer of foes.
7.126.44
अर्जुनार्थे महाबाहो सात्वतस्य च कारणात् ।
वर्धते हविषेवाग्निरिध्यमानः पुनः पुनः ॥ ७.१२६.४४ ॥
For Arjuna's sake, O mighty-armed one, and because of Sātyaki, he grows again and again, like a fire kindled with oblations.
7.126.45
तस्य लक्ष्म न पश्यामि तेन विन्दामि कश्मलम् ।
तं विद्धि पुरुषव्याघ्रं सात्वतं च महारथम् ॥ ७.१२६.४५ ॥
I see no trace of him, and so I am confused. Know him to be a tiger among men, and Sātyaki, too, a great charioteer.
7.126.46
स तं महारथं पश्चादनुयातस्तवानुजम् ।
तमपश्यन्महाबाहुमदं विन्दामि कश्मलम् ॥ ७.१२६.४६ ॥
That great charioteer followed behind your younger brother. Not seeing that mighty-armed one, I feel this confusion.
7.126.47
अथैनं पुनराचक्ष्व लोहिताक्षं सकेशवम् ।
दृष्ट्वा कुशलिनं पार्थं सैन्धवान्ते ससात्यकिम् ॥ ७.१२६.४७ ॥
Then tell me again of him—the red-eyed one, with Keśava, seen unharmed at the end of the Sindhu battle with Sātyaki.
7.126.48
संविदं मम कुर्यास्त्वं सिंहनादेन पाण्डव ॥ ७.१२६.४८ ॥
O Pāṇḍava, give me a sign by a lion's roar.
7.126.49
नूनं विनिहतः शूरः सव्यासाची परन्तप ।
पार्थे तस्मिन्हते चैव युध्यते गरुडध्वजः ॥ ७.१२६.४९ ॥
Surely the heroic Savyasācin, scorcher of foes, has been slain; yet the one with the Garuḍa banner keeps fighting, though that Pārtha is dead.
7.126.50
सहयो नास्य वै कश्चित्तेन विन्दामि कश्मलम् ।
तस्मात्कृष्णो रणे नूनं युध्यते युद्धकोविदः ॥ ७.१२६.५० ॥
No horse or other companion is with him, and so I feel distress. Therefore Kṛṣṇa, skilled in war, surely fights in battle.
7.126.51
न हि मे शुध्यते भावस्तयोरेव परन्तप ।
स तत्र गच्छ कौन्तेय यत्र यातो धनञ्जयः ॥ ७.१२६.५१ ॥
My mind is not calmed concerning those two, scorcher of foes. Son of Kuntī, go there where Dhanañjaya has gone.
7.126.52
सात्यकिश्च महावीर्यः कर्तव्यं यदि मन्यसे ।
वचनं मम धर्मज्ञ भ्राता ज्येष्ठो भवामि ते ॥ ७.१२६.५२ ॥
And Sātyaki of great might, if you think it should be done, knower of dharma, hear my word: I am your elder brother.
7.126.53
न मेऽर्जुनस्तथा ज्ञेयो ज्ञातव्यः सात्यकिर्यथा ॥ ७.१२६.५३ ॥
To me Arjuna is not to be known as Sātyaki is to be known.
7.126.54
चिकीर्षुर्मत्प्रियं पार्थ स यातः सव्यसाचिनः ।
पदवीं दुर्गमां घोरामगम्यामकृतात्मभिः ॥ ७.१२६.५४ ॥
Desiring to do what is dear to me, Pārtha, he has gone along the path of Savyasācin — a hard, terrible path, unapproachable by those whose selves are not refined.
7.126.55
दृष्ट्वा कुशलिनौ कृष्णौ सात्वतं चैव सात्यकिम् ।
संविदं चैव कुर्यास्त्वं सिंहनादेन पाण्डव ॥ ७.१२६.५५ ॥
Having seen the two Kṛṣṇas, safe and well, and Sātvata and Sātyaki, you should give your signal, O Pāṇḍava, with a lion's roar.
