कुन्त्युवाच । अर्जुनं केशव ब्रूयास्त्वयि जाते स्म सूतके । उपोपविष्टा नारीभिराश्रमे परिवारिता॥५-१३५-१॥

Kuntī said: “Keśava, you should tell Arjuna: when you were born, during the period of birth-impurity, I was seated in the hermitage, surrounded by women.”

अथान्तरिक्षे वागासीद्दिव्यरूपा मनोरमा । सहस्राक्षसमः कुन्ति भविष्यत्येष ते सुतः॥५-१३५-२॥

Then a voice arose in the sky—divine in form and pleasing: “Kuntī, this son of yours will be equal to the Thousand-Eyed (Indra).”

एष जेष्यति संग्रामे कुरून्सर्वान्समागतान् । भीमसेनद्वितीयश्च लोकमुद्वर्तयिष्यति॥५-१३५-३॥

He will prevail in battle over all the assembled Kurus; and with Bhīmasena as his second, he will overturn the established order of the world.

पुत्रस्ते पृथिवीं जेता यशश्चास्य दिवस्पृशम् । हत्वा कुरून्ग्रामजन्ये वासुदेवसहायवान्॥५-१३५-४॥

Your son will win the earth, and his renown will reach the heavens; with Vāsudeva as his support, having subdued the Kurus in the conflict arising from the realm.

पित्र्यमंशं प्रनष्टं च पुनरप्युद्धरिष्यति । भ्रातृभिः सहितः श्रीमांस्त्रीन्मेधानाहरिष्यति॥५-१३५-५॥

He will recover again the paternal share that was lost; and, accompanied by his brothers, the illustrious one will bring three sacrificial rites to completion.
