सर्वास्त्रविनयोपेतं दान्तं शान्तं मनस्विनम् । हतं शांतनवं श्रुत्वा मन्ये शेषं बलं हतम्॥६-१५-४१॥
Hearing that the Śāṃtanava—trained in the disciplined use of all weapons, self-restrained, tranquil, and high-minded—has been brought down, I deem the remaining strength to be, as it were, already undone.
english translation
धर्मादधर्मो बलवान्संप्राप्त इति मे मतिः । यत्र वृद्धं गुरुं हत्वा राज्यमिच्छन्ति पाण्डवाः॥६-१५-४२॥
It is my judgment that adharma has grown stronger than dharma—where the Pāṇḍavas seek sovereignty after bringing down an aged teacher.
english translation
जामदग्न्यः पुरा रामः सर्वास्त्रविदनुत्तमः । अम्बार्थमुद्यतः संख्ये भीष्मेण युधि निर्जितः॥६-१५-४३॥
Formerly, Rāma Jāmadagnya—unsurpassed in the knowledge of every weapon—rose to battle for Ambā’s sake, yet in combat he was defeated by Bhīṣma.
english translation
तमिन्द्रसमकर्माणं ककुदं सर्वधन्विनाम् । हतं शंससि भीष्मं मे किं नु दुःखमतः परम्॥६-१५-४४॥
You tell me that Bhīṣma has been brought down—he whose deeds were like Indra’s, the foremost pillar among all archers. What sorrow could surpass this?
english translation
असकृत्क्षत्रियव्राताः संख्ये येन विनिर्जिताः । जामदग्न्यस्तथा रामः परवीरनिघातिना॥६-१५-४५॥
By him—the slayer of opposing champions—hosts of kṣatriyas were repeatedly defeated in battle, and likewise even Rāma Jāmadagnya.
