9.33.1
एवं दुर्योधने राजन्गर्जमाने मुहुर्मुहुः ।
युधिष्ठिरस्य सङ्क्रुद्धो वासुदेवोऽब्रवीदिदम् ॥ ९.३३.१ ॥
Thus, as Duryodhana roared again and again, Vāsudeva, greatly enraged at Yudhiṣṭhira, spoke these words.
9.33.2
यदी नाम ह्ययं यूद्धे वरयेत्त्वां युधिष्ठिर ।
अर्जुनं नकुलं चैव सहदेवमथापि वा ॥ ९.३३.२ ॥
O Yudhiṣṭhira, it would have been fitting if he had challenged you in battle, or Arjuna, Nakula, or Sahadeva.
9.33.3
किमिदं साहसं राजंस्त्वया व्याहृतमीदृशम् ।
एकमेव निहत्याजौ भव राजा कुरुष्विति ॥ ९.३३.३ ॥
O king, why did you speak such a reckless word? Having slain just one man in battle, become king of the Kurus—what audacity is this?
9.33.4
एतेन हि कृता योग्या वर्षाणीह त्रयोदश ।
आयसे पुरुषे राजन्भीमसेनजिघांसया ॥ ९.३३.४ ॥
O king, with the desire to slay Bhīmasena, he has trained for thirteen years with an iron figure.
9.33.5
कथं नाम भवेत्कार्यमस्माद्वि भरतर्षभ ।
साहसं कृतवांस्त्वं तु ह्यनुक्रोशान्नृपोत्तम ॥ ९.३३.५ ॥
O best of the Bharatas, how could this task be his? O best of kings, it is out of compassion that you have made this reckless move.
9.33.6
नान्यमस्यानुपश्यामि प्रतियोद्धारमाहवे ।
ऋते वृकोदरात्पार्थात्स च नातिकृतश्रमः ॥ ९.३३.६ ॥
In battle I see no other opponent for him but Vṛkodara, Bhīma, and Pārtha, Arjuna—and even they have not exerted themselves excessively.
9.33.7
तदिदं द्यूतमारब्धं पुनरेव यथा पुरा ।
विषमं शकुनेश्चैव तव चैव विशेषतः ॥ ९.३३.७ ॥
This dice game has begun again, just as before; it is unequal, especially for Śakuni and for you.
9.33.8
बली भीमः समर्थश्च कृती राजा सुयोधनः ।
बलवान्वा कृती वेति कृती राजन्विशिष्यते ॥ ९.३३.८ ॥
Bhīma is strong and capable, and King Suyodhana is skilled; whether strong or skilled, O king, the skilled one is the one who stands out.
9.33.9
सोऽयं राजंस्त्वया शत्रुः समे पथि निवेशितः ।
न्यस्तश्चात्मा सुविषमे कृच्छ्रमापादिता वयम् ॥ ९.३३.९ ॥
O king, you placed that enemy on an even path and staked yourself too; in a most uneven state you brought us to distress.
9.33.10
कोऽनु सर्वान्विनिर्जित्य शत्रूनेकेन वैरिणा ।
कृच्छ्रप्राप्तेन च तथा हारयेद्राज्यमागतम्।
पातितश्चैकबाणेन शोचयेदेवमाहवे ॥ ९.३३.१० ॥
Who, having conquered all enemies, would then lose the kingdom that came to him, reduced to distress by a single foe? And who, struck down by a single arrow in battle, would grieve in such a way?
9.33.11
न हि पश्यामि तं लोके योऽद्य दुर्योधनं रणे ।
गदाहस्तं विजेतुं वै शक्तः स्यादमरोपि हि ॥ ९.३३.११ ॥
I see no one in the world who could today defeat Duryodhana in battle, mace in hand, not even a god.
9.33.12
फल्गुनो वा भवान्वाथ माद्रीपुत्रावथापि वा ।
न समर्थानहं मन्ये गदाहस्तस्य संयुगे ॥ ९.३३.१२ ॥
Whether Phalguna (Arjuna), or you, or the two sons of Mādrī, I do not think any of them is a match for him in battle, mace in hand.
9.33.13
न त्वं भीमो न नकुलः सहदेवोऽथ फल्गुनः ।
जेतुं न्यायेन शक्तो वै कृती राजा सुयोधनः ॥ ९.३३.१३ ॥
Neither you, nor Bhīma, nor Nakula, nor Sahadeva, nor Phalguna (Arjuna) is able to conquer justly; only the skilled king Suyodhana is able.
9.33.14
स कथं वदसे शत्रुं युध्यस्व गदयेति हि ।
एकं च नो निहत्याजौ भव राजेति भारत ॥ ९.३३.१४ ॥
How, then, does he say, 'Fight the enemy with the mace'? O Bhārata, having slain one of us in battle, become king.
9.33.15
वृकोदरं समासाद्य संशयो वै जये हि नः ।
न्यायतो युध्यमानानां कृती ह्येष महाबलः ॥ ९.३३.१५ ॥
Having come before Vṛkodara (Bhīma), there is indeed doubt about our victory; among those fighting justly, he is skilled and of great might.
9.33.16
नूनं न राज्यभागेषा पाण्डोः कुन्त्याश्च सन्ततिः ।
अत्यन्तवनवासाय सृष्टा भैक्ष्याय वा पुनः ॥ ९.३३.१६ ॥
Surely this lineage of Pāṇḍu and Kuntī is not a share of the kingdom; they were created only for utter forest-exile or for begging again.
9.33.17
मधुसूदन माकार्षीविषादं यदुनन्दन ।
अद्य पारं गमिष्यामि वैरस्य भृशदुर्गमम् ॥ ९.३३.१७ ॥
O Madhusūdana, O joy of the Yadus, do not give way to despondency. Today I shall go to the far shore of this enmity, so very hard to cross.
9.33.18
अहं सुयोधनं सङ्ख्ये हनिष्यामि न संशयः ।
विजयो वै ध्रुवः कृष्ण धर्मराजस्य दृश्यते ॥ ९.३३.१८ ॥
I shall surely slay Suyodhana in battle; there is no doubt. O Kṛṣṇa, the victory of the king of dharma is seen to be certain.
9.33.19
अध्यर्धेन गुणेनेयं गदा गुरुतरी मम ।
न तथा धार्तराष्ट्रस्य माकार्षीर्माधव व्यथाम् ॥ ९.३३.१९ ॥
Bhīma said: This mace of mine is one and a half times heavier, yet not so heavy for the son of Dhṛtarāṣṭra. O Mādhava, do not let him suffer pain.
9.33.20
अनया गदयानाहं संयुगे योद्धुमुत्सहे ।
भवन्तः प्रेक्षकाः सर्वे मम सन्तु जनार्दन ॥ ९.३३.२० ॥
Bhīma said: With this mace I am ready to fight in battle. O Janārdana, may all of you be my spectators.
9.33.21
सामरानपि लोकांस्त्रीन्नानाशस्त्रधरान्युधि ।
योधयेयं रणे कृष्ण किमुताद्य सुयोधनम् ॥ ९.३३.२१ ॥
Bhīma said: O Kṛṣṇa, I could fight in battle even against the three worlds with the gods, all bearing various weapons; how much more so, then, against Suyodhana today.
9.33.22
तथा सम्भाषमाणं तु वासुदेवो वृकोदरम् ।
हृष्टः सम्पूजयामास वचनं चेदमब्रवीत् ॥ ९.३३.२२ ॥
Thus speaking, Vāsudeva, delighted, honoured Vṛkodara and spoke these words.
9.33.23
त्वामाश्रित्य महाबाहो धर्मराजो युधिष्ठिरः ।
निहतारिः स्वकां दीप्तां श्रियं प्राप्नोत्यसंशयम् ॥ ९.३३.२३ ॥
O mighty-armed one, relying on you, Yudhiṣṭhira, the king of dharma, having slain his enemies, will without doubt obtain his own radiant glory.
9.33.24
त्वया विनिहताः सर्वे धृतराष्ट्रसुता रणे ।
राजानो राजपुत्राश्च नागाश्च विनिपातिताः ॥ ९.३३.२४ ॥
By you, in battle, all the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra, kings, princes and elephants will be slain and struck down.
9.33.25
कलिङ्गा मागधाः प्राच्या गान्धाराः कुरवस्तथा ।
त्वामासाद्य महायुद्धे निहताः पाण्डुनन्दन ॥ ९.३३.२५ ॥
O son of Pāṇḍu, the Kaliṅgas, Māgadhas, eastern peoples, Gāndhāras and Kurus too, having come up against you in the great battle, were slain.
9.33.26
हत्वा दुर्योधनं चापि प्रयच्छोर्वीं ससागराम् ।
धर्मराजाय कौन्तेय यथा विष्णुः शचीपतेः ॥ ९.३३.२६ ॥
O son of Kuntī, having slain Duryodhana too, give this earth with its oceans to the king of dharma, as Viṣṇu gave it to the lord of Śacī.
9.33.27
त्वां च प्राप्य रणे पापो धार्तराष्ट्रो विनङ्क्ष्यति ।
त्वमस्य सक्थिनी भंक्त्वा प्रतिज्ञां पालयिष्यसि ॥ ९.३३.२७ ॥
Having met you in battle, that wicked son of Dhṛtarāṣṭra will perish. Breaking his thighs, you will fulfil your vow.
9.33.28
यत्नेन ह त्वया पापो योद्धव्यो धृतराष्ट्रजः ।
कृती च बलवांश्चैव युद्धशौण्डश्च नित्यदा ॥ ९.३३.२८ ॥
You must fight that wicked son of Dhṛtarāṣṭra with effort, for he is skilled, strong, and always proud of battle.
9.33.29
ततस्तु सात्यकी राजन्पूजयामास पाण्डवम् ।
विविधाभिश्च तं वाग्भिर्भिमसेनं जनेश्वर ॥ ९.३३.२९ ॥
Then, O king, Sātyaki honoured the Pāṇḍava Bhīmasena with various words, O lord of men.
9.33.30
पाञ्चालाः पाण्डवेयाश्च धर्मराजपुरोगमाः ।
तद्वचो भीमसेनस्य सर्व एवाभ्यपूजयन् ॥ ९.३३.३० ॥
The Pāñcālas and the Pāṇḍavas, with the king of dharma at their head, all applauded that speech of Bhīmasena.
9.33.31
ततो भीमबलो भीमो युधिष्ठिरमथाब्रवीत् ।
सृञ्जयैः सह तिष्ठन्तं तपन्तमिव भास्करम् ॥ ९.३३.३१ ॥
Then Bhīma of terrible strength spoke to Yudhiṣṭhira, who stood with the Sṛñjayas, blazing like the sun.
9.33.32
अहमेतेन सङ्गम्य संयुगे योद्धुमुत्सहे ।
न हि शक्तो रणे जेतुं मामेष पुरुषाधमः ॥ ९.३३.३२ ॥
I am eager to meet him in battle and fight; this lowest of men is not able to defeat me in war.
9.33.33
अद्य क्रोधं विमोक्ष्यामि निहितं हृदये भृशम् ।
सुयोधने धार्तराष्ट्रे खाण्डवेऽग्निमिवार्जुनः ॥ ९.३३.३३ ॥
Today I will release the anger deeply stored in my heart upon Suyodhana, son of Dhṛtarāṣṭra, as Arjuna released fire at Khāṇḍava.
9.33.34
शल्यमद्योद्धरिष्यामि तव पाण्डव हृच्छयम् ।
निहते गदया पापे अद्य राजन्सुखी भव ॥ ९.३३.३४ ॥
Today I will pull out the thorn lodged in your heart, O Pāṇḍava. O king, once the wicked one is slain with the mace, be happy today.
9.33.35
अद्य कीर्तिमयीं मालां प्रितमोक्ष्ये तवानघ ।
प्राणाञ्श्रियं च राज्यं च मोक्ष्यतेऽद्य सुयोधनः ॥ ९.३३.३५ ॥
Today, O sinless one, I will once again offer you a garland woven of glory. Today Suyodhana will give up his life, his fortune and his kingdom.
9.33.36
राजा च धृतराष्ट्रोऽद्य श्रुत्वा पुत्रं मया हतम् ।
स्मरिष्यत्यशुभं कर्म यत्तच्छकुनिबुद्धिजम् ॥ ९.३३.३६ ॥
King Dhṛtarāṣṭra, hearing today that his son has been slain by me, will remember the evil deed that was born of Śakuni's counsel.
9.33.37
इत्युक्त्वा भरतश्रेष्ठो गदामुद्यम्य वीर्यवान् ।
उदतिष्ठत युद्धाय शक्रो वृत्रमिवाह्वयन् ॥ ९.३३.३७ ॥
Having spoken thus, the best of the Bharatas, the mighty one, raised his mace and rose for battle, like Śakra challenging Vṛtra.
9.33.38
तदाह्वानममृष्यन्वै तव पुत्रोऽतिवीर्यवान् ।
प्रत्युपस्थित एवाशु मत्तो मत्तमिव द्विपम् ॥ ९.३३.३८ ॥
Unable to endure that challenge, your exceedingly mighty son at once confronted him, like a rutting elephant facing another rutting elephant.
9.33.39
गदाहस्तं तव सुतं युद्धाय समुपस्थितम् ।
ददृशुः पाण्डवाः सर्वे कैलासमिव शृङ्गिणम् ॥ ९.३३.३९ ॥
All the Pāṇḍavas saw your son standing ready for battle, mace in hand, like Kailāsa with its peaks.
9.33.40
तमेकाकिनमासाद्य धार्तराष्ट्रं महाबलम् ।
वियूथमिव मातङ्गं समहृष्यन्त पाण्डवाः ॥ ९.३३.४० ॥
Reaching that mighty son of Dhṛtarāṣṭra standing alone, the Pāṇḍavas rejoiced, like an elephant separated from its herd.
9.33.41
न सम्भ्रमो न च भयं न च ग्लानिर्न च व्यथा ।
आसीद्दुर्योधनस्यापि स्थितः सिंह इवाहवे ॥ ९.३३.४१ ॥
In Duryodhana there was neither agitation, nor fear, nor weariness, nor distress; he stood in battle like a lion.
9.33.42
समुद्यतगदं दृष्ट्वा कैलासमिव शृङ्गियाम् ।
भीमसेनस्तदा राजन्दुर्योधनमथाब्रवीत् ॥ ९.३३.४२ ॥
Seeing him standing with mace raised like Kailāsa with its peaks, O king, then Bhīmasena spoke to Duryodhana.
9.33.43
राज्ञापि धृतराष्ट्रेण त्वया चास्मासु यत्कृतम् ।
स्मर तद्दुष्कृतं कर्मं यद्भूतं वारणावते। ॥ ९.३३.४३ ॥
King Dhṛtarāṣṭra, remember the evil deed you and the king did against us, the one that happened at Vāraṇāvata.
9.33.44
द्रौपदी च परामृष्टा समामध्ये रजस्वला ।
द्यूते च वञ्चितो राजा शकूनेर्बुद्धिलाघवात् ॥ ९.३३.४४ ॥
Draupadī, in her menstrual state, was seized in the midst of the assembly, and the king was cheated at dice through Śakuni's crafty wit.
9.33.45
यानि चान्यानि दुष्टात्मन्पापानि कृतवानसि ।
अनागासु च पार्थेषु तस्य पश्य महत्फलम् ॥ ९.३३.४५ ॥
And the other sins you have committed, O wicked-minded one, against the blameless sons of Pṛthā — behold their great fruit.
9.33.46
त्वत्कृते निहतः शेते शरतल्पे महायशाः ।
याङ्गेयो भरतश्रेष्ठः सर्वेषां नः पितामहः ॥ ९.३३.४६ ॥
Slain because of you, the far-famed son of Gaṅgā, best of the Bharatas, our grandsire, lies on a bed of arrows.
9.33.47
हतो द्रोणश्च कर्णश्च इतः शल्यः प्रतापवान् ।
वैराग्नेरादिकर्ता च शकुनिर्निहतो रणे ॥ ९.३३.४७ ॥
Droṇa is slain, Karṇa is slain, and the mighty Śalya is gone; Śakuni, the original kindler of the fire of enmity, has been slain in battle.
9.33.48
भ्रातरस्ते हताः शूराः पुत्राश्च सहसैनिकाः ।
राजानश्च हताः शूराः समरेष्वनिवर्तिनः ॥ ९.३३.४८ ॥
Your heroic brothers are slain, your sons are slain together with their troops, and the heroic kings who never turned back in battle are slain.

प्रातिकामी तथा पापो द्रौपद्याः क्लेशकृद्धतः ॥ ९.३३.४९ ॥
These and many other bulls among kṣatriyas have been slain, and also the wicked Prātikāmin, the tormentor of Draupadī.
9.33.50
अवशिष्टस्त्वमेवैकः कुलघ्नोऽधमपूरुषः ।
त्वामप्यद्य हनिष्यामि गदया नात्र संशयः ॥ ९.३३.५० ॥
You alone remain, destroyer of your family, lowest of men. Today I will strike you down with my mace as well; of this there is no doubt.
9.33.51
अद्य तेऽहं रणे दर्पं सर्वं नाशयिता नृप ।
राज्याशां विपुलां चापि पाण्डवेषु च दुष्कृतम् ॥ ९.३३.५१ ॥
Today in battle, O king, I will destroy all your pride, your vast hope of kingship, and your wrongdoing toward the Pāṇḍavas.
9.33.52
किं कत्थितेन बहुना युध्यस्वाद्य मया सह ।
अद्य तेऽहं विनेष्यामि युद्धश्रद्धां वृकोदर ॥ ९.३३.५२ ॥
What is the use of much boasting? Fight with me today. O Vṛkodara, today I will drive away your eagerness for battle.
9.33.53
किं न पश्यसि मां पाप गदायुद्धे व्यवस्थितम् ।
हिमवच्छिखराकारां प्रगृह्य महतीं गदाम् ॥ ९.३३.५३ ॥
O wicked one, do you not see me standing ready for mace-combat, grasping a mace great as a Himālayan peak?
9.33.54
गदिनं कोऽद्य मां पाप हन्तुमुत्सहते रिपुः ।
न्यायतो युध्यमानश्च देवेष्वपि पुरन्दरः ॥ ९.३३.५४ ॥
O wicked one, what enemy today would dare to kill me, a mace-bearer? Even Purandara (Indra) among the gods would not dare it, when I fight by right.
9.33.55
मा वृथा गर्ज कौन्तेय शारदाभ्रमिवाजलम् ।
दर्शयस्व बलं युद्धे यावन्नासून्निहन्मि ते ॥ ९.३३.५५ ॥
Do not thunder in vain, son of Kuntī, like an autumn cloud without water. Show your strength in battle before I take your breath of life.
9.33.56
तस्य तद्वचनं श्रुत्वा पाण्डवाः सहसृञ्जयाः ।
सर्वे सम्पूजयामासुस्तद्वचो विजिगीषवः ॥ ९.३३.५६ ॥
Hearing his words, the Pāṇḍavas together with the Sṛñjayas, all desiring victory, honored that speech.
9.33.57
उन्मत्तमिव मातङ्गं तलशब्देन मानवाः ।
भूयः संहर्षयामासू राजन्दुर्योधनं द्विषः ॥ ९.३३.५७ ॥
O king, as a maddened elephant is goaded by the sound of clapping, the enemies once more exhilarated Duryodhana by clapping their hands.
9.33.58
बृंहन्ति कुञ्जरास्तत्र हया हेषन्ति चासकृत् ।
शस्त्राणि सम्प्रदीप्यन्ते पाण्डवानां जयैषिणाम् ॥ ९.३३.५८ ॥
There the elephants trumpet and the horses neigh again and again, and the weapons of the Pāṇḍavas, who desire victory, are kindled.
