प्राज्ञौ मेधाविनौ दान्तावर्थकामौ बहुश्रुतौ । आहतुस्त्वां हितं वाक्यं तदादत्स्व परंतप॥५-१२३-११॥
Two discerning, intelligent, self-restrained, well-informed authorities—concerned with practical welfare—have spoken beneficial words to you. Receive them, O subduer of foes.
english translation
अनुतिष्ठ महाप्राज्ञ कृष्णभीष्मौ यदूचतुः । मा वचो लघुबुद्धीनां समास्थास्त्वं परंतप॥५-१२३-१२॥
Carry out, O greatly discerning one, what Kṛṣṇa and Bhīṣma have stated. Do not align yourself with the talk of the shallow-minded, O subduer of foes.
english translation
ये त्वां प्रोत्साहयन्त्येते नैते कृत्याय कर्हिचित् । वैरं परेषां ग्रीवायां प्रतिमोक्ष्यन्ति संयुगे॥५-१२३-१३॥
Those who are inciting you are never acting for what ought to be done. In the stratagems of battle they will shift the enmity onto the necks of others, making others bear the consequence.
english translation
मा कुरूञ्जीघनः सर्वान्पुत्रान्भ्रातॄंस्तथैव च । वासुदेवार्जुनौ यत्र विद्ध्यजेयं बलं हि तत्॥५-१२३-१४॥
Do not seek the destruction of all the Kurus—your sons and your brothers as well. Where Vāsudeva (Kṛṣṇa) and Arjuna stand, know that force to be unconquerable.
english translation
एतच्चैव मतं सत्यं सुहृदोः कृष्णभीष्मयोः । यदि नादास्यसे तात पश्चात्तप्स्यसि भारत॥५-१२३-१५॥
This indeed is the true judgment of your well-wishers—Kṛṣṇa and Bhīṣma. If you do not accept it, dear one, you will later experience remorse, O Bhārata.
