7.135.1
दैवमेव परं मन्ये धिक्पौरुषमनर्थकम् ।
यत्राधिरथिरायत्तौ नातरत्पाण्डवं रणे ॥ ७.१३५.१ ॥
I hold fate to be supreme; human effort is futile and shameful, for though the son of Adhiratha was subject to it, in battle he could not overcome the Pāṇḍava.
7.135.2
कर्णः पार्थान्सगोविन्दाञ्जेतुमुत्सहते रणे ।
न च कर्णसमं लोके पश्यामि कञ्चन।
इति दुर्योधनस्याहमश्रौषं जल्पतो मुहुः ॥ ७.१३५.२ ॥
Karṇa is eager to conquer the sons of Pṛthā together with Govinda in battle; I see no one in the world equal to Karṇa. Thus I heard Duryodhana speaking again and again.
7.135.3
कर्णो हि बलवाञ्छूरो दृढधन्वा जितक्लमः ।
इति मामब्रवीत्सूत मन्दो दुर्योधनः पुरा ॥ ७.१३५.३ ॥
Karṇa is indeed mighty, heroic, firm of bow, one who has conquered weariness. O charioteer, the foolish Duryodhana once spoke thus to me.
7.135.4
वसुषेणसहायं मां नालं देवाऽपि संयुगे ।
किं नु पाण्डुसुता राजन्गतसत्वा विचेतसः ॥ ७.१३५.४ ॥
With Vasuṣeṇa as my companion, not even the gods could overcome me in battle. O king, why have the sons of Pāṇḍu become lacking in courage and confused?
7.135.5
तत्र तं निर्जितं दृष्ट्वा भुजङ्गमिव निर्विषम् ।
युद्धात्कर्णमपक्रान्तं किंस्विद्दुर्योधनोऽब्रवीत् ॥ ७.१३५.५ ॥
When Duryodhana saw Karṇa there, defeated in battle and withdrawing from the fight like a venomless serpent, what did he say?
7.135.6
अहो दुर्मुखमेवैकं युद्धानामविशारदम् ।
प्रावेशयद्धुतवहं पतङ्गमिव मोहितः ॥ ७.१३५.६ ॥
Alas! That single ill-spoken fool, unskilled in battles, deluded, sent Karṇa forward as a moth is sent into fire.
7.135.7
अश्वत्थामा मद्रराजः कृपः कर्णश्च सङ्गताः ।
न शक्त्याः प्रमुखे स्थातुं नूनं भीमस्य सञ्जय ॥ ७.१३५.७ ॥
Aśvatthāman, the king of the Madras, Kṛpa and Karṇa, though joined together, will surely not be able to stand before Bhīma, O Sañjaya.
7.135.8
तेऽपि चास्य महाघोरं बलं नागायुतोपमम् ।
जानन्तो व्यवसायं च क्रूरं मारुततेजसः ॥ ७.१३५.८ ॥
They too, knowing his terrible strength, equal to ten thousand elephants, and the cruel resolve and blaze of the wind-god's son,
7.135.9
किमर्थं क्रूरकर्माणं यमकालान्तकोपमम् ।
बलसंरम्भवीर्यज्ञाः कोपयिष्यन्ति संयुगे ॥ ७.१३५.९ ॥
Why would they provoke in battle the cruel-acting one, like Yama, Time and Death, knowing his force, fury and valour?
7.135.10
कर्णस्त्वेको महाबाहुः स्वबाहुबलदर्पितम् ।
भीमसेनमनादृत्य रणेऽयुध्यत सूतजः ॥ ७.१३५.१० ॥
Karṇa, the son of a charioteer, mighty-armed, alone, proud of the strength of his own arms, disregarding Bhīmasena, fought in battle.
7.135.11
योऽजयत्समरे कर्णं पुरन्दर इवासुरम् ।
न स पाण्डुसुतो जेतुं शक्यः केनचिदाहवे ॥ ७.१३५.११ ॥
That son of Pāṇḍu who conquered Karṇa in battle, as Purandara conquered the demon, cannot be conquered in battle by anyone.
7.135.12
द्रोणं यः सम्प्रमथ्यैकः प्रविष्टो मम वाहिनीम् ।
भीमो धनञ्जयान्वेषी कस्तमार्च्छेज्जिजीविषु ॥ ७.१३५.१२ ॥
Bhīma, who crushed Droṇa and alone entered my army, seeking Dhanañjaya — who desiring to live would approach him?
7.135.13
को हि सञ्जय भीमस्य स्थातुमुत्सहतेऽग्रतः ।
उद्यताशनिहस्तस्य महेन्द्रस्येव दानवः ॥ ७.१३५.१३ ॥
O Sañjaya, who would dare to stand before Bhīma, as a dānava cannot stand before Mahendra, who holds the thunderbolt raised in his hand?
7.135.14
प्रेतराजपुरं प्राप्य निवर्तेतापि मानवः ।
न भीमसेनं सम्प्राप्य निवर्तेत कदाचन ॥ ७.१३५.१४ ॥
A man might return even after reaching the city of the king of the dead, but having met Bhīmasena, no one ever returns.
7.135.15
पतङ्गा इव वह्निं ते प्राविशन्नल्पचेतसः ।
ये भीमसेनं सङ्क्रुद्धमन्वधावन्विमोहिताः ॥ ७.१३५.१५ ॥
Like moths entering a fire, those feeble-minded men, deluded, ran after the enraged Bhīmasena.
7.135.16
यत्तत्सभायां भीमेन मम पुत्रवधाश्रयम् ।
उक्तं संरम्भिणोग्रेण कुरूणां शृण्वतां तदा ॥ ७.१३५.१६ ॥
That which Bhīma, in wrath, spoke in the assembly concerning the slaughter of my sons, while the Kurus were listening at that time—
7.135.17
तन्नूनमभिसञ्चिन्त्य दृष्ट्वा कर्णं च निर्जितम् ।
दुःशासनः सह भ्रात्रा भयाद्भीमादुपारमत् ॥ ७.१३५.१७ ॥
Surely, having pondered that and seeing Karṇa defeated, Duḥśāsana with his brother withdrew out of fear of Bhīma.
7.135.18
यश्च सञ्जय दुर्बुद्धिरब्रवीत्समितौ मुहुः ।
कर्णो दुःशासनोऽहं च जेष्यामो युधि पाण्डवान् ॥ ७.१३५.१८ ॥
O Sañjaya, that evil-minded one who repeatedly declared in the assembly: Karṇa, Duḥśāsana and I will conquer the Pāṇḍavas in battle.
7.135.19
स नूनं विरथं दृष्ट्वा कर्णं भीमेन निर्जितम् ।
प्रत्याख्यानाच्च कृष्णस्य भृशं तप्यति पुत्रकः ॥ ७.१३५.१९ ॥
Surely seeing Karṇa chariotless and defeated by Bhīma, and because of Kṛṣṇa's refusal, my son greatly grieves.
7.135.20
दृष्ट्वा भ्रातॄन्हतान्सङ्ख्ये भीमसेनेन दंशितान् ।
आत्मापराधात्सम्मूढो नूनं तप्यति पुत्रकः ॥ ७.१३५.२० ॥
Seeing his brothers, armoured, slain in battle by Bhīmasena, my son, bewildered by his own fault, surely grieves.
7.135.21
को हि जीवितमन्विच्छन्प्रतीपं पाण्डवं व्रजेत् ।
भीमं भीमायुधं क्रुद्धं साक्षात्कालमिव स्थितम् ॥ ७.१३५.२१ ॥
What man who desires life would go to the hostile Pāṇḍava, Bhīma with his terrible weapon, enraged, standing like Death himself?
7.135.22
बडबामुखमध्यस्थो मुच्येतापि हि मानवः ।
न भीममुखसम्प्राप्तो मुच्येदिति मतिर्मम ॥ ७.१३५.२२ ॥
A man caught in the mouth of the mare-fire might perhaps be freed, but one who has reached Bhīma's mouth will not be freed, so I think.
7.135.23
न पार्था न च पञ्चाला न च केशवसात्यकी ।
जानते युधि संरब्धा जीवितं परिरक्षितुम् ॥ ७.१३५.२३ ॥
Neither the sons of Pṛthā, nor the Pañcālas, nor Keśava and Sātyaki, when enraged in battle, know how to preserve their lives.
7.135.24
अहो मम सुतानां हि विपन्नं सूत जीवितम् ॥ ७.१३५.२४ ॥
Alas! O charioteer, the lives of my sons have indeed perished.
7.135.25
यस्त्वं शोचसि कौरव्य वर्तमाने महाभये ।
त्वमस्य जगतो मूलं विनाशस्य न संशयः ॥ ७.१३५.२५ ॥
O descendant of Kuru, you who grieve while this great peril is unfolding, you are indeed the root of the destruction of this world; there is no doubt.
7.135.26
स्वयं वैरं महत्कृत्वा पुत्राणां वचने स्थितः ।
उच्यमानो न गृह्णीषे मर्त्यः पथ्यमिवौषधम् ॥ ७.१३५.२६ ॥
Having yourself created a great enmity and remaining fixed to your sons' words, you do not accept what is told to you, as a mortal does not take wholesome medicine.
7.135.27
स्वयं पीत्वा महाराज कालकूटं सुदुर्जरम् ।
तस्येदानीं फलं कृत्स्नमवाप्नुहि नरोत्तम ॥ ७.१३५.२७ ॥
O great king, having yourself drunk the Kālakūṭa poison, so hard to digest, now obtain its entire fruit, O best of men.
7.135.28
यत्तु कुत्सयसे योधान्युध्यमानान्महाबलान् ।
तत्र ते वर्तयिष्यामि यथा युद्धमवर्तत ॥ ७.१३५.२८ ॥
But as for your reviling the mighty warriors who are fighting, I will tell you how the battle went on there.
7.135.29
दृष्ट्वा कर्णं तु पुत्रास्ते भीमसेनपराजितम् ।
नामृष्यन्त महेष्वासाः सोदर्याः पञ्च भारत ॥ ७.१३५.२९ ॥
O descendant of Bharata, seeing Karṇa defeated by Bhīmasena, your five uterine sons, great archers, could not endure it.
7.135.30
दुर्मर्षणो दुःसहश्च दुर्मदो दुर्धरो जयः ।
पाण्डवं चित्रसन्नाहास्तं प्रतीपमुपाद्रवन् ॥ ७.१३५.३० ॥
Durmarṣaṇa, Duḥsaha, Durmada, Durdhara and Jaya, clad in richly variegated armour, rushed in opposition at the Pāṇḍava.
7.135.31
ते समन्तान्महाबाहुं परिवार्य वृकोदरम् ।
दिशः शरैः समावृण्वञ्शलभानामिव व्रजैः ॥ ७.१३५.३१ ॥
They surrounded the mighty-armed Vṛkodara on all sides and covered the quarters with arrows, like swarms of locusts.
7.135.32
आगच्छतस्तान्सहसा कुमारान्देवरूपिणः ।
प्रतिजग्राह समरे भीमसेनो हसन्निव ॥ ७.१३५.३२ ॥
Seeing those princes, god-like in form, come upon him suddenly, Bhīmasena received them in battle, as if laughing.
7.135.33
तव दृष्ट्वा तु तनयान्दुर्मर्षणपुरोगमान् ।
अभ्यवर्तत राधेयो भीमसेनं महाबलम् ॥ ७.१३५.३३ ॥
Seeing your sons, led by Durmarṣaṇa, advance, Karṇa, the son of Rādhā, pressed forward against the mighty Bhīmasena.
7.135.34
विसृजन्विशिखांस्तीक्ष्णान्स्वर्णपुङ्खांञ्छिलाशितान् ।
तं तु भीमोऽभ्ययात्तूर्णं वार्यमाणः सुतैस्तव ॥ ७.१३५.३४ ॥
Discharging sharp arrows, gold-feathered and whetted on stone, toward him, Bhīma hastened toward Karṇa, though your sons were trying to restrain him.
7.135.35
कुरवस्तु ततः कर्णं परिवार्य समन्ततः ।
अवाकिरन्भीमसेनं शरैः सन्नतपर्वभिः ॥ ७.१३५.३५ ॥
Then the Kurus surrounded Karṇa on all sides and showered Bhīmasena with arrows having bent joints.
7.135.36
तान्बाणैः पञ्चविंशत्या साश्वान्राजन्नरर्षभान् ।
ससूतान्भीमधनुषो भीमो निन्ये यमक्षयम् ॥ ७.१३५.३६ ॥
With twenty-five arrows from his fearsome bow, O king, Bhīma sent them—with their horses and charioteers, those bulls among men—to the abode of Yama.
7.135.37
प्रापतन्स्यन्दनेभ्यस्ते सार्धं सूतैर्गतासवः ।
चित्रपुष्पधरा भग्ना वातेनेव महाद्रुमाः ॥ ७.१३५.३७ ॥
Lifeless, they fell from their chariots together with their charioteers, like great trees bearing bright flowers broken by the wind.
7.135.38
तत्राद्भुतमपश्याम भीमसेनस्य विक्रमम् ।
संवार्याधिरथिं बाणैर्यज्जघान तवात्मजान् ॥ ७.१३५.३८ ॥
There we saw the wonderful prowess of Bhīmasena, who, holding back the son of Adhiratha with arrows, slew your sons.
7.135.39
स वार्यमाणो भीमेन शितैर्बाणैः समन्ततः ।
सूतपुत्रो महाराज भीमसेनमवैक्षत ॥ ७.१३५.३९ ॥
Held back on every side by Bhīma with sharp arrows, the son of a charioteer, O great king, looked at Bhīmasena.
7.135.40
तं भीससेनः संरम्भात्क्रोधसंरक्तलोचनः ।
विष्फार्य सुमहच्चापं मुहुः कर्णमवैक्षत ॥ ७.१३५.४० ॥
Bhīmasena, his eyes reddened with wrath, stretched his mighty bow in fury and looked again and again at Karṇa.
