शोकार्तं पाण्डवं ज्ञात्वा दुःखेन हतचेतसम् । अब्रवीत्तत्र गोविन्दो हर्षयन्सर्वपाण्डवान्॥६-४६-२६॥

Recognizing the Pāṇḍava as afflicted by grief and his mind subdued by distress, Govinda spoke there, encouraging all the Pāṇḍavas.

english translation

मा शुचो भरतश्रेष्ठ न त्वं शोचितुमर्हसि । यस्य ते भ्रातरः शूराः सर्वलोकस्य धन्विनः॥६-४६-२७॥

Do not grieve, O best of the Bharatas; you ought not to grieve—since your brothers are heroes, renowned as archers throughout the world.

english translation

अहं च प्रियकृद्राजन्सात्यकिश्च महारथः । विराटद्रुपदौ वृद्धौ धृष्टद्युम्नश्च पार्षतः॥६-४६-२८॥

And I as well, O king—one who acts for your welfare—and Sātyaki the great chariot-warrior; and the aged Virāṭa and Drupada; and Dhṛṣṭadyumna, the son of Pārṣata.

english translation

तथैव सबलाः सर्वे राजानो राजसत्तम । त्वत्प्रसादं प्रतीक्षन्ते त्वद्भक्ताश्च विशां पते॥६-४६-२९॥

Likewise, all the kings with their forces, O best of kings, await your favor; and your devoted followers also, O lord of the people.

english translation

एष ते पार्षतो नित्यं हितकामः प्रिये रतः । सेनापत्यमनुप्राप्तो धृष्टद्युम्नो महाबलः । शिखण्डी च महाबाहो भीष्मस्य निधनं किल॥६-४६-३०॥

This ally of yours, ever seeking your welfare and devoted to what is dear to you—mighty Dhṛṣṭadyumna—has attained the office of commander. And Śikhaṇḍin too, O strong-armed one, is said to be the instrumental cause in Bhīṣma’s fall.
