वैशंपायन उवाच । विदुरेणैवमुक्ते तु केशवः शत्रुपूगहा । दुर्योधनं धार्तराष्ट्रमभ्यभाषत वीर्यवान्॥५-१२९-१॥

Vaiśaṃpāyana said: When Vidura had spoken thus, Keśava—subduer of hostile hosts—addressed Duryodhana Dhārtarāṣṭra, the man of vigor.

english translation

एकोऽहमिति यन्मोहान्मन्यसे मां सुयोधन । परिभूय च दुर्बुद्धे ग्रहीतुं मां चिकीर्षसि॥५-१२९-२॥

Because of delusion you think, “I am alone, sufficient,” O Suyodhana; and with misguided judgment you intend to demean and seize me.

english translation

इहैव पाण्डवाः सर्वे तथैवान्धकवृष्णयः । इहादित्याश्च रुद्राश्च वसवश्च महर्षिभिः॥५-१२९-३॥

Here indeed are all the Pāṇḍavas, and likewise the Andhakas and Vṛṣṇis; here too are the Ādityas, the Rudras, and the Vasus, together with the great seers.

english translation

एवमुक्त्वा जहासोच्चैः केशवः परवीरहा । तस्य संस्मयतः शौरेर्विद्युद्रूपा महात्मनः । अङ्गुष्ठमात्रास्त्रिदशा मुमुचुः पावकार्चिषः॥५-१२९-४॥

Having spoken thus, Keśava, subduer of opposing champions, laughed aloud. As that great-souled Śauri revealed a wondrous form like lightning, the gods released fiery radiances, each the size of a thumb.

english translation

तस्य ब्रह्मा ललाटस्थो रुद्रो वक्षसि चाभवत् । लोकपाला भुजेष्वासन्नग्निरास्यादजायत॥५-१२९-५॥

Within him, Brahmā was stationed upon the forehead, and Rudra upon the chest; the guardians of the worlds were upon his arms, and fire arose from his mouth.
