सादितध्वजनागाश्च हतप्रवरवाजिनः । विप्रयातरथानीकाः समपद्यन्त पाण्डवाः॥६-४८-११॥

The Pāṇḍavas found themselves with standards and elephants brought down, foremost horses lost, and chariot-units scattered and separated.

english translation

अर्जुनस्तु नरव्याघ्रो दृष्ट्वा भीष्मं महारथम् । वार्ष्णेयमब्रवीत्क्रुद्धो याहि यत्र पितामहः॥६-४८-१२॥

But Arjuna, tiger among men, seeing Bhīṣma the great chariot-warrior, angrily said to Vārṣṇeya (Kṛṣṇa): “Go to where the Grandsire is.”

english translation

एष भीष्मः सुसंक्रुद्धो वार्ष्णेय मम वाहिनीम् । नाशयिष्यति सुव्यक्तं दुर्योधनहिते रतः॥६-४८-१३॥

This Bhīṣma, fiercely provoked, O Vārṣṇeya, will plainly destroy my forces, for he is devoted to Duryodhana’s cause.

एष द्रोणः कृपः शल्यो विकर्णश्च जनार्दन । धार्तराष्ट्राश्च सहिता दुर्योधनपुरोगमाः॥६-४८-१४॥

Here are Droṇa, Kṛpa, Śalya, and Vikarṇa, O Janārdana, together with the Dhārtarāṣṭras, led by Duryodhana.

english translation

पाञ्चालान्निहनिष्यन्ति रक्षिता दृढधन्वना । सोऽहं भीष्मं गमिष्यामि सैन्यहेतोर्जनार्दन॥६-४८-१५॥

They will strike down the Pāñcālas decisively, though guarded by the firm-armed archer. Therefore I shall go toward Bhīṣma for the sake of the army, O Janārdana.
