7.199.4
नामर्षं तत्र कुर्वन्ति धिक्क्षात्रं धिगमर्षिताम् ॥ ७.१९९.४ ॥
There they showed no indignation. Shame on the warrior order, shame on indignation itself!

भाषमाणमकल्याणं शीघ्रं हन्यान्नराधमम् ॥ ७.१९९.९ ॥
Is there no man here who would swiftly slay this sinful, ill-omened lowest of men, who speaks thus?
7.199.10
एते त्वां पाण्डवाः सर्वे कुत्सयन्ति विवित्सया ।
कर्मणा तेन पापेन श्वपाकं ब्राह्मणा इव ॥ ७.१९९.१० ॥

नान्यः पाञ्चालपुत्रेभ्यो विद्यते भुवि पापकृत् ॥ ७.१९९.१८ ॥

7.199.19
स चापि सृष्टः पित्रा ते भीष्मस्यान्तकरः किल ।
शिखण्डी रक्षितस्तेन स च मृत्युर्महात्मनः ॥ ७.१९९.१९ ॥

तव चापि सहिष्येऽहं गदापाताननेकशः ॥ ७.१९९.२४ ॥

संरब्धं सात्यकिं प्राह सङ्क्रुद्धः प्रहसन्निव ॥ ७.१९९.२५ ॥

सदाऽनार्योऽशुभः साधुं पुरुषं क्षेप्तुमिच्छति ॥ ७.१९९.२६ ॥

क्षमावन्तं हि पापात्मा जितोऽयमिति मन्यते ॥ ७.१९९.२७ ॥
Forbearance is praised in the world, but the sinful man does not deserve forbearance. The man of sinful mind thinks the forbearing one has been conquered.

आकेशाग्रान्नखाग्राच्च वक्तव्यो वक्तुमिच्छसि ॥ ७.१९९.२८ ॥

श्रोतुं वक्तव्यतामूलं नीचाचाराश्च मानवाः।
परान्क्षिपन्ति दोषेण स्वेषु दोषेष्वदृष्टयः ॥ ७.१९९.२९ ॥
O sinner, death would be better for you; your mind is not such as to hear the root of reproach. Men of base conduct revile others for faults, and are blind to their own faults.
7.199.30
यः स भूरिश्रवाश्छिन्नभुजः प्रायगतस्त्वया ।
वार्यमाणेन हि हतस्ततः पापतरं नु किम् ॥ ७.१९९.३० ॥
That Bhūriśravas, whose arms had been severed and who had fallen in the state of death — he was killed by you, though restrained. What sin could be greater than this?
7.199.31

विसृष्टशस्त्रो निहतः किं तत्र कुर दुष्कृतम् ॥ ७.१९९.३१ ॥

अयुध्यमानं यस्त्वाजौ तथा प्रायगतं मुनिम् ।
छिन्नबाहुं परैर्हन्यात्सात्यके स कथं वदेत् ॥ ७.१९९.३२ ॥
If enemies slay one who is not fighting in battle, likewise a sage sitting in the fast unto death, or one whose arm is severed, how, O Sātyaki, could he speak (of right)?
7.199.33
निहत्य त्वां पदा भूमौ स विकर्षति वीर्यवान् ।
किं तदा न निहंस्येनं भूत्वा पुरुषसत्तमः ॥ ७.१९९.३३ ॥
Having struck you down with his foot on the ground, that mighty one drags you. Then, O best of men, why did you not slay him?
7.199.34
त्वया पुनरनार्येण पूर्वं पार्थेन निर्जितः ।
यदा तदा हतः शूरः सौमदत्तिः प्रतापवान् ॥ ७.१९९.३४ ॥
When you, ignoble one, were formerly defeated by Pārtha, then the mighty hero, the son of Somadatta, was slain; so you did then as well.

यत्रयत्र तु पाण्डूनां द्रोणो द्रावयते चमूम् ।
किरञ्छरसहस्राणि तत्रतत्र प्रयाम्यहम् ॥ ७.१९९.३५ ॥
Wherever Droṇa routs the army of the Pāṇḍavas, there I go, scattering thousands of arrows.
7.199.36
स त्वमेवंविधं कृत्वा कर्म चण्डालवत्स्वयम् ।
वक्तुमर्हसि वक्तव्यः कस्मात्त्वं परुषाण्यथ ॥ ७.१९९.३६ ॥
Having done such a deed, you yourself, like an outcaste, ought to speak; but why do you speak harsh words? You must be answered.
7.199.37
कर्ता त्वं कर्मणो ह्यस्य नाहं वृष्णिकुलाधम ।
पापानां च त्वमावासः कर्मणां मा पुनर्वद ॥ ७.१९९.३७ ॥
You, lowest of the Vṛṣṇi line, are the doer of this deed, not I. You are the very abode of sins and sinful deeds. Speak no more.
7.199.38
जोषमास्व न मां भूयो वक्तुमर्हस्यतः परम् ।
अधरोत्तरमेतद्वि यन्मां त्वं वक्तुमर्हसि ॥ ७.१९९.३८ ॥
Sit silently; do not speak to me again from this point on. What you are about to say to me is turned upside down.
7.199.39
अथ वक्ष्यसि मां मौर्ख्याद्भूयः परुषमीदृशम् ।
गमयिष्यामि बाणैस्त्वां युधि वैवस्वतक्षयम् ॥ ७.१९९.३९ ॥
And if, out of folly, you speak again such harsh words to me, I will send you with arrows in battle to the realm of Vaivasvata.
7.199.40
न चैव मूर्ख धर्मेण केवलेनैव शक्यते ।
तेषामपि ह्यधर्मेण चेष्टितं शृणु यादृशम् ॥ ७.१९९.४० ॥
Fool, nothing is accomplished by righteousness alone. Hear also how their conduct was carried out by unrighteousness.
7.199.41
वञ्चितः पाण्डवः पूर्वमधर्मेण युधिष्ठिरः ।
द्रौपदी च परिक्लिष्टा तथाऽधर्मेण सात्यके ॥ ७.१९९.४१ ॥
Formerly Yudhiṣṭhira, the Pāṇḍava, was deceived by unrighteousness, and Draupadī was likewise tormented by unrighteousness, O Sātyaki.
7.199.42
प्रव्राजिता वनं सर्वे पाण्डवाः सह कृष्णया ।
सर्वस्वमपकृष्टं च तथाऽधर्मेण बालिश ॥ ७.१९९.४२ ॥
All the Pāṇḍavas, together with Kṛṣṇā, were driven out into the forest, and all their wealth was stripped away by unrighteousness, O fool.
7.199.43
अधर्मेणापकृष्टश्च मद्रराजः परैरितः ।
अधर्मेण तथा बालः सौभद्रो विनिपातितः ॥ ७.१९९.४३ ॥
Śalya, king of the Madras, was dragged down unrighteously here by the enemy, and likewise the youth Saubhadra (Abhimanyu) was struck down unrighteously.
7.199.44
इतोऽप्यधर्मेण हतो भीष्मः परपुरञ्जयः ।
भूरिश्रवा ह्यधर्मेण त्वया धर्मविदा हतः ॥ ७.१९९.४४ ॥
Here too Bhīṣma, conqueror of enemy cities, was slain unrighteously, and Bhūriśravas was slain unrighteously by you, who know dharma.
7.199.45
एवं परैराचरितं पाण्डवेयैश्च संयुगे ।
रक्षमाणैर्जयं वीरैर्धर्मज्ञैरपि सात्वत ॥ ७.१९९.४५ ॥
Thus the enemy, and the Pāṇḍavas too, have acted in battle; O Sātvata, even heroes who know dharma, while guarding victory, have done the same.
7.199.46
दुर्ज्ञेयः स परो धर्मस्तथाऽधर्मश्च दुर्विदः ।
युध्यस्व कौरवैः सार्धं मा गाः पितृनिवेशनम् ॥ ७.१९९.४६ ॥
The supreme dharma is hard to know, and adharma is hard to understand; fight with the Kauravas, and do not go to your father's abode.
7.199.47
एवमादीनि वाक्यानि क्रूराणि परुषाणि च ।
श्रावितः सात्यकिः श्रीमानाकम्पित इवाभवत् ॥ ७.१९९.४७ ॥
Having heard such cruel and harsh words, the glorious Sātyaki seemed to tremble.
7.199.48
तच्छ्रुत्वा क्रोधताम्राक्षः सात्यकिस्त्वाददे गदाम् ।
विनिः श्वस्य यथा सर्पः प्रणिधाय रथे धनुः ॥ ७.१९९.४८ ॥
Hearing that, Sātyaki, with eyes reddened in anger, seized his mace; breathing like a snake, he laid his bow upon the chariot.
7.199.49
ततोऽभिपत्य पाञ्चाल्यं संरम्भेणेदमब्रवीत् ।
न त्वां वक्ष्यामि परुषं हनिष्ये त्वां वधक्षमम् ॥ ७.१९९.४९ ॥
Then, rushing at the Pāñcālya, he spoke in fury: 'I will not speak harsh words to you; I will strike you down, you who deserve to be slain.'
7.199.50
तमापतन्तं सहसा महाबलममर्षणम् ।
पाञ्चाल्यायाभिसङ्क्रुद्धमन्तकायान्तकोपमम् ॥ ७.१९९.५० ॥
Him, the mighty and unforgiving one, suddenly rushing toward the Pāñcālya in great anger, who was like Death himself.

निगृहीतः पदे षष्ठे बलेन बलिनां वरः ॥ ७.१९९.५३ ॥

उवाच श्लक्ष्णया वाचा सहदेवो विशाम्पते ॥ ७.१९९.५४ ॥
Swiftly descending from his chariot to where he was held by the mightier one, Sahadeva, O lord of men, spoke with gentle words.

परमन्धकवृष्णिभ्यः पाञ्चलेभ्यश्च मारिष ॥ ७.१९९.५५ ॥
O tiger among men, we have no friends other than the Andhakas, the Vṛṣṇis and the Pāñcālas, sir.
7.199.56
तथैवान्धकवृष्णीनां तथैव च विशेषतः ।
कृष्णस्य च तथाऽस्मत्तो मित्रमन्यन्न विद्यते ॥ ७.१९९.५६ ॥

स भवानीदृशं मित्रं मन्यते च यथा भवान् ।
भवन्तश्च यथाऽस्माकं भवतां च तथा वयम् ॥ ७.१९९.५८ ॥
As you regard such a friend, and as you are to us, so are we to you.
