मुहूर्तादिव राजेन्द्र सर्वं शून्यमदृश्यत ।
मत्तवारणसंघुष्टं शिबिरं विद्रुते बले ॥ ९.३०.१ ॥
O lord of kings, in a moment all seemed empty. The camp, which had resounded with the trumpeting of maddened elephants, became desolate when the army had fled.
9.30.2
यत्र शब्देन महता नान्वबुध्यन्महारथाः ।
तत्र शब्दं न शृणुमो मनुष्यस्यापि कस्यचित् ॥ ९.३०.२ ॥
Where, amid a great din, the great charioteers were not even aware of one another, there we now hear no sound of any man at all.

विद्रुते शिबिरे शून्ये भृशोद्विग्नास्त्रयो रथाः ॥ ९.३०.५ ॥
When the wives of the great-souled warriors were fleeing in every direction and the camp had been emptied, the three chariot-warriors, deeply agitated…
9.30.6
निशम्य पाण्डुपुत्राणां तदा वैजयिनां स्वनम् ।
विद्रुतं शिबिरं दृष्ट्वा सायाह्ने राजगृद्विनः।
स्थानं नारोचयंस्तत्र ततस्ते हदमभ्ययुः ॥ ९.३०.६ ॥
Having heard the sound of the Pāṇḍavas' victory banners and seen the camp fled, the kingdom-greedy men did not like to stay there at evening; then they went to the lake.
9.30.7
युधिष्ठिरोऽपि धर्मात्मा भ्रातृभिः सहितो रणे ।
हृष्टः पर्यपतद्राजन्दुर्योधनवधेप्सया ॥ ९.३०.७ ॥
Yudhiṣṭhira, the righteous-souled, also, together with his brothers, joyfully rushed about in battle, O king, desiring to slay Duryodhana.
9.30.8
मार्गमाणास्तु सङ्क्रुद्धास्तव पुत्रं जयैषिणः ।
यत्नतोऽन्वेषमाणास्ते नैवापश्यञ्जनाधिपम् ॥ ९.३०.८ ॥
Enraged and seeking victory, they searched diligently for your son, yet they did not see the lord of men at all.
9.30.9
यदा दुर्योधनो युद्धं त्यक्त्वा पद्भ्यां पराक्रममत् ।
तं हदं प्राविशच्चापि विष्टभ्यापः स्वमायया ॥ ९.३०.९ ॥
When Duryodhana, abandoning the battle, went on foot and abandoning his valor, entered that lake, having stopped the waters by his own magic.
9.30.10
यदा तु पाण्डवाः सर्वे सुपरिश्रान्तवाहनाः ।
ततः स्वशिबिरं प्राप्य व्यतिष्ठन्त ससैनिकाः ॥ ९.३०.१० ॥
When all the Pāṇḍavas, their mounts greatly exhausted, then reached their own camp and halted there with their soldiers.
9.30.11
ततः कृपश्च द्रौणिश्च कृतवर्मा च सात्वतः ।
सन्निविष्टेषु पार्थेषु प्रययुस्तं हदं शनैः ॥ ९.३०.११ ॥
Then Kṛpa, the son of Droṇa, Kṛtavarman and the Sātvata went slowly toward that lake, while the sons of Pṛthā had settled in their camp.
9.30.12
ते तं हदं समासाद्य यत्र शेते जनाधिपः ।
अभ्यभाषन्त दुर्धर्षं राजानं सुप्तमम्भसि ॥ ९.३०.१२ ॥
Having reached that lake, where the lord of men lay sleeping in the water, they addressed the unassailable king.
9.30.13
राजन्नुत्तिष्ठ युध्यस्व सहास्माभिर्युधिष्ठिरम् ।
जित्वा वा पृथिवीं भुङ्क्ष्व हतो वा स्वर्गमाप्नुहि ॥ ९.३०.१३ ॥
O king, rise up and fight Yudhiṣṭhira together with us. Either conquer and enjoy the earth, or be slain and attain heaven.
9.30.14
तेषामपि बलं सर्वं हतं दुर्योधन त्वया ।
प्रतिविद्धाश्च भूयिष्ठं ये शिष्टास्तत्र सैनिकाः ॥ ९.३०.१४ ॥
O Duryodhana, all their strength has been destroyed by you, and most of the soldiers who remained there have been struck down.
9.30.15
न ते वेगं विषहितुं शक्तास्तव विशाम्पते ।
अस्माभिरपि गुप्तस्य तस्मादुत्तिष्ठ भारत ॥ ९.३०.१५ ॥
O lord of the people, they are not able to withstand your force. Therefore rise up, O Bhārata, for you are protected by us as well.
9.30.16
दिष्ट्या पश्यामि वो मुक्तानीदृशात्पुरुषक्षयात् ।
पाण्डुकौरवसम्मर्दाज्जीवमानान्नरर्षभान् ॥ ९.३०.१६ ॥
By good fortune I see you freed and still living from such a destruction of men, from the crushing clash of the Pāṇḍavas and Kauravas, O bulls among men.
9.30.17
विजेष्यामो वयं सर्वे विश्रान्ता विगतक्लमाः ।
भवन्तश्च परिश्रान्ता वयं च भृशविक्षताः।
उदीर्णं च बलं तेषां तेन युद्धं न रोचये ॥ ९.३०.१७ ॥
We shall all rest, shed our weariness, and then conquer. You are exhausted, and we are sorely wounded. Their army is mighty, so I do not desire to fight now.
9.30.18
न त्वेतदद्भुतं वीरा यद्वो महदिदं मनः ।
अस्मासु च परा शक्तिर्न तु कालः पराक्रमे ॥ ९.३०.१८ ॥
This great resolve of yours, O heroes, is no wonder. In us lies supreme power, and the time for valour has not passed.
9.30.19
विश्रम्यैकां निशामद्य भवद्भिः सहितो रणे ।
प्रतियोत्स्याम्यहं शत्रूञ्श्वो न स्याच्च श्रमो मम ॥ ९.३०.१९ ॥
Having rested this one night with you, I will fight back the enemies in battle tomorrow, and I shall not grow weary.
9.30.20
एवमुक्तोऽब्रवीद्द्रौणी राजानं युद्धदुर्मदम् ।
उत्तिष्ठ राजन्भद्रं ते विजेष्यामो वयं परान् ॥ ९.३०.२० ॥
Thus addressed, the son of Droṇa spoke to the king, drunk with the pride of battle: "Rise, O king, may good fortune be yours; we shall conquer the enemies."
9.30.21
इष्टापूर्तेन दानेन सत्येन च जपेन च ।
शपे राजन्यथा ह्यद्य निहनिष्यामि सोमकान् ॥ ९.३०.२१ ॥
By sacrifice and charitable works, by gifts, by truth and by recitation, I swear, O king, that today I shall surely slay the Somakas.
9.30.22
मा स्म यज्ञकृतां प्रीतिमाप्नुयां सज्जनोचिताम् ।
यदीमां रजनीं व्युष्टां न हि हन्मि परान्रणे ॥ ९.३०.२२ ॥
If, once this night has dawned, I do not slay the enemies in battle, may I not attain the delight fitting for those who perform sacrifices and for good men.
9.30.23
नाहत्वा सर्वपाञ्चालान्विमोक्ष्ये कवचं विभो ।
उत्तिष्ठ त्वं ब्रवीम्येतत्तन्मे शृणु जनाधिप ॥ ९.३०.२३ ॥
Without slaying all the Pāñcālas, I shall not remove my armour, O mighty one. Rise; this I tell you, O lord of men, hear my words.
9.30.24
तेषु सम्बाषमाणेषु व्याधास्तं देशमाययुः ।
मांसभारपरिश्रान्ताः पानीयार्थं यदृच्छया ॥ ९.३०.२४ ॥
While they were conversing, hunters, weary with the burden of meat, came to that place by chance in search of water.
9.30.25
ते हि नित्यं महाराज भीमसेनस्य लुब्धकाः ।
मांसभारानुपाजह्नुर्भक्त्या परमया विभो ॥ ९.३०.२५ ॥
O great king, those hunters always brought loads of meat for Bhīmasena with supreme devotion, O mighty one.
9.30.26
ते तत्र धिष्ठितास्तेषां सर्वं तद्वचनं रहः ।
दुर्योधनवचश्चैव शुश्रुवुः सङ्गता मिथः ॥ ९.३०.२६ ॥
Those who were stationed there, gathered together, heard all that secret talk of theirs and the words of Duryodhana.
9.30.27
तेऽपि सर्वे महेष्वासा अयुद्धार्थिनि कौरवे ।
निर्बन्धं परमं चक्रुस्तदा वै युद्धकाङ्क्षिणः ॥ ९.३०.२७ ॥
Those great archers, all desiring battle, then pressed their insistence upon the Kaurava, who did not desire battle.
9.30.28
तांस्तथा समुदीक्ष्याथ कौरवाणां महारथान् ।
अयुद्धमनसं चैव राजानं स्थितमम्भसि ॥ ९.३०.२८ ॥
Having seen those great charioteers of the Kauravas thus, and the king, unwilling to fight, standing in the water.
9.30.29
तेषां श्रुत्वा च संवादं राज्ञश्च सलिले सतः ।
व्याधा ह्यजानन्राजेन्द्र सलिलस्थं सुयोधनम् ॥ ९.३०.२९ ॥
O lord of kings, though the hunters heard their conversation and the king's words, they did not recognize Suyodhana standing in the water.
9.30.30
ते पूर्वं पाण्डुपुत्रेण पृष्टा ह्यासन्सुतं तव ।
यदृच्छोपगतास्तत्र राजानं परिमार्गता ॥ ९.३०.३० ॥
They had been questioned earlier by the son of Pāṇḍu; searching for your son, they had come there by chance.
9.30.31
ततस्ते पाण्डुपुत्रस्य स्मृत्वा तद्भाषितं तदा ।
अन्योन्यमब्रुवन्राजन्मृगव्याधाः शनैरिव ॥ ९.३०.३१ ॥
Then, remembering the words of the son of Pāṇḍu, O king, the hunters said to one another softly.
9.30.32
दुर्योधनं ख्यापयामो धनं दास्यति पाण्डवः ।
सुव्यक्तमिह नः ख्यातो हदे दुर्योधनोनृपः ॥ ९.३०.३२ ॥
Let us report to Duryodhana: the Pāṇḍava will give wealth. Here in the lake, the king Duryodhana has been clearly made known to us.
9.30.33
तस्माद्गच्छामहे सर्वे यत्र राजा युधिष्ठिरः ।
आख्यातुं सलिले सुप्तं दुर्योधनममर्षणम् ॥ ९.३०.३३ ॥
Therefore, let us all go to where King Yudhiṣṭhira is, and tell him of Duryodhana, the wrathful one lying in the water.

शयानं सलिले सर्वे कथयामो धनुर्भृते ॥ ९.३०.३४ ॥
Let us all tell the wise Bhīmasena, the bearer of the bow, that the son of Dhṛtarāṣṭra is lying in the water.
9.30.35
स नो दास्यति सुप्रीतो धनानि बहुलान्युत ।
किं नो मांसेन शुष्केण परिक्लिष्टेन शोषिणा ॥ ९.३०.३५ ॥
Greatly pleased, he will give us abundant wealth. What use is dried, exhausted, withered meat to us?
9.30.36
एवमुक्त्वा तु ते व्याधाः सम्प्रहृष्टा धनार्थिनः ।
मांसभारानुपादाय प्रययुः शिबिरं प्रति ॥ ९.३०.३६ ॥
Having spoken thus, those hunters, eager for wealth and greatly delighted, took up their loads of meat and set off toward the camp.
9.30.37
पाण्डवाश्च महाराज लब्धलक्षाः प्रहारिणः ।
अपश्यमानाः समरे दुर्योधनमवस्थितम् ॥ ९.३०.३७ ॥
O great king, the Pāṇḍavas, having struck their mark, did not see Duryodhana standing in battle.
9.30.38
निकृतिज्ञस्य पापस्य तस्याभिगमनेप्सया ।
चारान्सम्प्रेषयामासुः समन्तात्तद्रणाजिरे ॥ ९.३०.३८ ॥
Desiring to reach that wicked one, skilled in deceit, they sent spies on all sides across that battlefield.
9.30.39
आगम्य तु ततः सर्वे नष्टं दुर्योधनं नृपम् ।
न्यवेदयन्त सहिता धर्मराजस्य सैनिकाः ॥ ९.३०.३९ ॥
Then all the soldiers came together and reported to Dharmarāja that King Duryodhana was lost.
9.30.40
तेषां तद्वचनं श्रुत्वा चाराणां भरतर्षभ ।
चिन्तामभ्यगमत्तीव्रां निशश्वास च पार्थिवः ॥ ९.३०.४० ॥
O bull of the Bharatas, having heard those words of the spies, the king fell into intense anxiety and sighed.
9.30.41
अरिशेषे जीवति तु सन्दिग्धो विजयो भवेत् ।
राज्यं लभे कथं तद्वि पूजितं विजयादिभिः ॥ ९.३०.४१ ॥
While enemies survive and live, victory would be uncertain. How then could I obtain that kingdom, honoured by Vijaya and the others?
9.30.42
अथ स्थितानां पाण्डूनां दीनानां भरतर्षभ ।
तस्माद्देशादपक्रम्य त्वरिता लुब्धका विभो ॥ ९.३०.४२ ॥
O bull of the Bharatas, then, moving away from the wretched Pāṇḍavas who stood there, the hunters hurried away from that place, O mighty one.
9.30.43
आजग्मुः शिबिरं हृष्टा दृष्ट्वा दुर्योधनं नृपम् ।
वार्यमाणाः प्रविष्टाश्च भीमसेनस्य पश्यतः ॥ ९.३०.४३ ॥
Joyfully they came to the camp and saw King Duryodhana. Though restrained, they entered in full view of Bhīmasena.
9.30.44
ते तु पाण्डवमासाद्य भीमसेनं महाबलम् ।
तस्मै तत्सर्वमाचख्युर्यद्वृत्तं यच्च वै श्रुतम् ॥ ९.३०.४४ ॥
Having reached the mighty Bhīmasena, the Pāṇḍava, they told him everything that had happened and all that they had heard.
9.30.45
ततो वृकोदरो राजन्दत्त्वा तेषां धनं बहु ।
धर्मराजाय तत्सर्वमाचचक्षे परन्तपः ॥ ९.३०.४५ ॥
Then, O king, Vṛkodara, the scorcher of foes, gave them much wealth and told all of it to King Dharma (Yudhiṣṭhira).
9.30.46
असौ दुर्योधनो राजन्विज्ञातो मम लुब्धकैः ।
संस्तभ्य सलिलं शेते यस्यार्थे परितप्यसे ॥ ९.३०.४६ ॥
That Duryodhana, O king, has been found out by my hunters. He lies there, having checked the water, the very one for whose sake you grieve.
9.30.47
तद्वचो भीमसेनस्य प्रियं श्रुत्वा विशाम्पते ।
अजातशत्रुः कौन्तेयो हृष्टोऽभूत्सह सोदरैः ॥ ९.३०.४७ ॥
Hearing that pleasing word of Bhīmasena, O lord of the people, Ajātaśatru, the son of Kuntī, rejoiced along with his brothers.
9.30.48
तं च श्रुत्वा महेष्वासं प्रविष्टं सलिलहदे ।
क्षिप्रमेव ततोऽगच्छन्पुरस्कृत्य जनार्दनम् ॥ ९.३०.४८ ॥
And having heard that the great archer had entered the lake, they quickly set out with Janārdana (Kṛṣṇa) placed at their head.
9.30.49
ततः किलकिलाशब्दः प्रादुरासीद्विशाम्पते ।
पाण्डवानां प्रहृष्टानां पाञ्चालानां च सर्वशः ॥ ९.३०.४९ ॥
Then a shout of joy rose on every side from the delighted Pāṇḍavas and Pāñcālas, O lord of the people.
9.30.50
सिंहनादांस्ततश्चक्रुः क्ष्वेडाश्च भरतर्षभ ।
त्वरिताः क्षत्रिया राजन्नुदक्रोशन्परस्परम् ॥ ९.३०.५० ॥
Then the hasty kṣatriyas roared like lions and gave their war-cries, O best of the Bharatas; and they called out to one another loudly, O king.
9.30.51
ज्ञातः पापो धार्तराष्ट्रो दृष्टश्चेत्यसकृद्रणे ।
प्राक्रोशन्सोमकास्तत्र हृष्टरूपाः समन्ततः ॥ ९.३०.५१ ॥
"The wicked son of Dhṛtarāṣṭra has been recognized and seen again and again in battle!" So the Somakas, joyful of countenance, cried out there on every side.
9.30.52
तेषामाशु प्रयातानां रथानां तत्र वेगिनाम् ।
वभूव तुमुलः शब्दो दिवस्पृक् पृथिवीपते ॥ ९.३०.५२ ॥
From their swift chariots, which advanced quickly there, arose a tumultuous sound that reached the sky, O lord of the earth.
9.30.53
दुर्योधनं परीप्सन्तस्तत्रतत्र युधिष्ठिरम् ।
अन्वयुस्त्वरितास्ते वै राजानं श्रान्तवाहनाः ॥ ९.३०.५३ ॥
Desiring to protect Duryodhana, they hastily followed King Yudhiṣṭhira here and there, their mounts weary.

Arjuna and Bhīmasena, the two sons of Mādrī, the Pāṇḍavas, Dhṛṣṭadyumna the Pāñcāla prince, and the unconquered Śikhaṇḍin.
9.30.55
उत्तमौजा युधामन्युः सात्यकिश्च महारथः ।
पाञ्चालानां च ये शिष्टा द्रौपदेयाश्च भारत।
हयाश्च सर्वे नागाश्च शतशश्च पदातयः ॥ ९.३०.५५ ॥
Uttamaujas, Yudhāmanyu and the great charioteer Sātyaki, the surviving Pāñcālas and the sons of Draupadī, O Bhārata; all the horses and elephants, and hundreds of foot soldiers.
9.30.56
ततः प्राप्तो महाराज धर्मराजः प्रतापवान् ।
द्वैपायनहदं घोरं यत्र दुर्योधनोऽभवत् ॥ ९.३०.५६ ॥
Then, O great king, the mighty Dharmarāja arrived at the terrible Dvaipāyana lake, where Duryodhana was.
9.30.57
शीतामलजलं हृद्यं द्वितीयमिव सागरम् ।
मायया सलिलं स्तभ्य यत्राभूत्ते स्थितः सुतः ॥ ९.३०.५७ ॥
Cold and clear of water, pleasing, like a second ocean — there your son stood, having stopped the water by magic.
9.30.58
अत्यद्भुतेन विधिना दैवयोगेन भारत ।
सलिलान्तर्गतः शेते दुर्दर्शः कस्यचित्प्रभो। ॥ ९.३०.५८ ॥
By a most wondrous means, through the conjunction of fate, O Bhārata — hidden within the water he lies, hard for anyone to see, O lord.
9.30.59
मानुषस्य मनुष्येन्द्र गदाहस्तो जनाधिपः ।
ततो दुर्योधनो राजा सलिलान्तर्गतो वसन्।
शुश्रुवे तुमुलं शब्दं जलदोपमनिःस्वनम् ॥ ९.३०.५९ ॥
O lord of men, O lord of the people with the mace in hand — then King Duryodhana, dwelling within the water, heard a tumultuous sound, roaring like a cloud.
9.30.60
युधिष्ठिरश्च राजेन्द्र तं हदं सह सोदरैः ।
आजगाम महाराज तव पुत्रवधाय वै ॥ ९.३०.६० ॥
And, O lord of kings, Yudhiṣṭhira too came to that lake with his brothers, O great king — indeed to slay your son.
9.30.61
महता शङ्खनादेन रथनेमिस्वनेन च ।
ऊर्ध्वं धुन्वन्महारेणुं कम्पयंश्चापि मेदिनीम् ॥ ९.३०.६१ ॥
With the great blast of conch-shells and the rumbling of chariot-wheel rims, shaking the great cloud of dust rising aloft and making the earth tremble.
9.30.62
यौधिष्ठिरस्य सैन्यस्य श्रुत्वा शब्दं महारथाः ।
कृतवर्मा कृपो द्रौणी राजानमिदमब्रुवन् ॥ ९.३०.६२ ॥
Hearing the sound of Yudhiṣṭhira's army, the great chariot-warriors Kṛtavarman, Kṛpa and Droṇa's son spoke these words to the king.
9.30.63
इमे ह्यायान्ति संहृष्टाः पाण्डवा जितकाशिनः ।
अपयास्यामहे तावदनुजानातु नो भवान् ॥ ९.३०.६३ ॥
These exultant Pāṇḍavas, thinking themselves victors, are coming. Let us withdraw for now; may your honour grant us leave.
9.30.64
दुर्योधनस्तु तच्छ्रुत्वा तेषां तत्र तरस्विनाम् ।
तथेत्युक्त्वा हदं तं वै माययाऽस्तम्भयत्प्रभो ॥ ९.३०.६४ ॥
But Duryodhana, having heard their words, said "so be it," and, O lord, he froze that lake by illusion.
9.30.65
ते त्वनुज्ञाप्य राजानं भृशं शोकपरायणाः ।
जग्मुर्दूरे महाराज कृपप्रभृतयो रथाः ॥ ९.३०.६५ ॥
Taking leave of the king, and deeply absorbed in grief, those chariot-warriors led by Kṛpa went far away, O great king.
9.30.66
ते गत्वा दूरमध्वानं न्यग्रोधं प्रेक्ष्य मारिष ।
न्यविशन्त भृशं श्रान्ताश्चिन्तयन्तो नृपं प्रति ॥ ९.३०.६६ ॥
Having gone a long way along the road and seeing a banyan tree, O noble one, they sat down, greatly exhausted, brooding over the king.
9.30.67
विष्टभ्य सलिलं सुप्तो धार्तराष्ट्रो महाबलः ।
पाण्डवाश्चापि सम्प्राप्तास्तं देशं युद्धमीप्सवः ॥ ९.३०.६७ ॥
Having stopped up the water, the mighty son of Dhṛtarāṣṭra lay down to sleep; and the Pāṇḍavas, desiring battle, also arrived at that place.
9.30.68
कथं नु युद्धं भविता कथं राजा भविष्यति ।
कथं नु पाण्डवा राजन्प्रतिपत्स्यन्ति कौरवम् ॥ ९.३०.६८ ॥
How, then, will the battle take place? How will there be a king? How, O king, will the Pāṇḍavas confront the Kauravas?
9.30.69
इत्येवं चिन्तयानास्तु रथेभ्योऽश्वान्विमुच्य ते ।
तत्रासाञ्चक्रिरे राजन्कृपप्रभृतयो रथाः ॥ ९.३०.६९ ॥
Thus pondering, they unyoked the horses from their chariots; and there, O king, Kṛpa and the other charioteers made arrangements for them.
