व्यनिन्दन्त ततः सर्वे योधास्तत्र विशां पते । युधिष्ठिरं ससोदर्यं सहितं केशवेन ह॥६-४१-२६॥

Then all the warriors there criticized Yudhiṣṭhira—together with his brothers—who was accompanied by Keśava.

english translation

ततस्तत्कौरवं सैन्यं धिक्कृत्वा तु युधिष्ठिरम् । निःशब्दमभवत्तूर्णं पुनरेव विशां पते॥६-४१-२७॥

Then the Kaurava host, having censured Yudhiṣṭhira, quickly fell silent again, O lord of the people.

english translation

किं नु वक्ष्यति राजासौ किं भीष्मः प्रतिवक्ष्यति । किं भीमः समरश्लाघी किं नु कृष्णार्जुनाविति॥६-४१-२८॥

“What will that king say? What will Bhīṣma reply? What will Bhīma—who prides himself on martial engagement—say? And what of Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna?”

english translation

विवक्षितं किमस्येति संशयः सुमहानभूत् । उभयोः सेनयो राजन्युधिष्ठिरकृते तदा॥६-४१-२९॥

A very great doubt arose then in both armies, O king, as to what Yudhiṣṭhira intended to say.

english translation

स विगाह्य चमूं शत्रोः शरशक्तिसमाकुलाम् । भीष्ममेवाभ्ययात्तूर्णं भ्रातृभिः परिवारितः॥६-४१-३०॥

He, having entered the opposing formation—dense with arrows and spears—quickly approached Bhīṣma alone, surrounded by his brothers.
