किमस्माभिः कृतं तेषां कस्मिन्वा पुनरागसि । धार्तराष्ट्राञ्जिघांसन्ति पाण्डवाः सृञ्जयैः सह॥५-१२५-११॥
What have we done to them, and in what matter is there again an offence? The Pāṇḍavas, together with the Sṛñjayas, seek to destroy the Dhārtarāṣṭras.
english translation
न चापि वयमुग्रेण कर्मणा वचनेन वा । वित्रस्ताः प्रणमामेह भयादपि शतक्रतोः॥५-१२५-१२॥
Nor are we, frightened by harsh deeds or words, to bow here out of fear—even before Śatakratu (Indra).
english translation
न च तं कृष्ण पश्यामि क्षत्रधर्ममनुष्ठितम् । उत्सहेत युधा जेतुं यो नः शत्रुनिबर्हण॥५-१२५-१३॥
And I do not see, O Kṛṣṇa, any practice of kṣatriya-duty by which one could hope to defeat us in strategic engagement—O subduer of foes.
english translation
न हि भीष्मकृपद्रोणाः सगणा मधुसूदन । देवैरपि युधा जेतुं शक्याः किमुत पाण्डवैः॥५-१२५-१४॥
For Bhīṣma, Kṛpa, and Droṇa—together with their forces—cannot be conquered in ordered battle even by the gods, O Madhusūdana; how much less by the Pāṇḍavas.
english translation
स्वधर्ममनुतिष्ठन्तो यदि माधव संयुगे । शस्त्रेण निधनं काले प्राप्स्यामः स्वर्गमेव तत्॥५-१२५-१५॥
If, O Mādhava, we uphold our own dharma in armed conflict, then should death by weapons come in due time, that itself will lead us to heaven.
