धृतराष्ट्र उवाच । दैवमेव परं मन्ये पौरुषादपि संजय । यत्सैन्यं मम पुत्रस्य पाण्डुसैन्येन वध्यते॥६-५८-१॥
Dhṛtarāṣṭra said: “I deem fate alone to be supreme, even above human endeavor, O Sañjaya, since my son’s army is being brought to ruin by the army of the Pāṇḍavas.”
english translation
नित्यं हि मामकांस्तात हतानेव हि शंससि । अव्यग्रांश्च प्रहृष्टांश्च नित्यं शंससि पाण्डवान्॥६-५८-२॥
For you continually report my men, dear one, as though already slain; and you continually describe the Pāṇḍavas as untroubled and exultant.
english translation
हीनान्पुरुषकारेण मामकानद्य संजय । पतितान्पात्यमानांश्च हतानेव च शंससि॥६-५८-३॥
Today, O Sañjaya, you portray my men as wanting in exertion—fallen, being driven back, and as though already destroyed.
english translation
युध्यमानान्यथाशक्ति घटमानाञ्जयं प्रति । पाण्डवा विजयन्त्येव जीयन्ते चैव मामकाः॥६-५८-४॥
Even though they fight with all their might and strive for victory, the Pāṇḍavas prevail, and my side is overcome.
english translation
सोऽहं तीव्राणि दुःखानि दुर्योधनकृतानि च । अश्रौषं सततं तात दुःसहानि बहूनि च॥६-५८-५॥
Thus, dear one, I have continually heard of intense sufferings—many difficult to endure—brought about by Duryodhana.
