तं सत्यसंधं बीभत्सुं सव्यसाचिनमच्युत । यथाहमेवं जानामि बलवन्तं दुरासदम् । तथा तदस्तु दाशार्ह यथा वागभ्यभाषत॥५-१३५-६॥

That Bībhatsu—true to his vows, the ambidextrous archer—O Acyuta, as I know him to be powerful and difficult to overcome: O Dāśārha, let it be exactly as your words have declared.

english translation

धर्मश्चेदस्ति वार्ष्णेय तथा सत्यं भविष्यति । त्वं चापि तत्तथा कृष्ण सर्वं संपादयिष्यसि॥५-१३५-७॥

If dharma truly exists, O Vārṣṇeya, then it will indeed become true; and you as well, O Kṛṣṇa, will bring all of it to fulfillment accordingly.

english translation

नाहं तदभ्यसूयामि यथा वागभ्यभाषत । नमो धर्माय महते धर्मो धारयति प्रजाः॥५-१३५-८॥

I do not resent it, for thus were the words spoken. Homage to great Dharma; Dharma sustains the peoples.

english translation

एतद्धनंजयो वाच्यो नित्योद्युक्तो वृकोदरः । यदर्थं क्षत्रिया सूते तस्य कालोऽयमागतः । न हि वैरं समासाद्य सीदन्ति पुरुषर्षभाः॥५-१३५-९॥

This should be said to Dhanaṃjaya: Vṛkodara is ever prepared and ever vigilant. Now has come the time for that purpose for which kṣatriyas are born. For the best of men, having met with enmity, do not sink into despondency.

english translation

विदिता ते सदा बुद्धिर्भीमस्य न स शाम्यति । यावदन्तं न कुरुते शत्रूणां शत्रुकर्शनः॥५-१३५-१०॥

You always know Bhīma’s resolve: it does not subside until he has brought the enemy’s forces to their end—he, the harasser of adversaries.
