वैशंपायन उवाच । कुन्त्यास्तु वचनं श्रुत्वा भीष्मद्रोणौ महारथौ । दुर्योधनमिदं वाक्यमूचतुः शासनातिगम्॥५-१३६-१॥
Vaiśaṃpāyana said: Having heard Kuntī’s statement, the great chariot-warriors Bhīṣma and Droṇa spoke these words to Duryodhana—words that surpassed mere instruction and bore the force of authority.
english translation
श्रुतं ते पुरुषव्याघ्र कुन्त्याः कृष्णस्य संनिधौ । वाक्यमर्थवदव्यग्रमुक्तं धर्म्यमनुत्तमम्॥५-१३६-२॥
“O tiger among men, you have heard Kuntī’s words spoken in Kṛṣṇa’s presence—meaningful, untroubled in spirit, and uttered as an unsurpassed statement aligned with dharma.”
english translation
तत्करिष्यन्ति कौन्तेया वासुदेवस्य संमतम् । न हि ते जातु शाम्येरन्नृते राज्येन कौरव॥५-१३६-३॥
The sons of Kuntī will act in accord with Vāsudeva’s well-considered judgment. For they will never truly be appeased, O Kaurava, unless sovereignty is restored to them.
english translation
क्लेशिता हि त्वया पार्था धर्मपाशसितास्तदा । सभायां द्रौपदी चैव तैश्च तन्मर्षितं तव॥५-१३६-४॥
For then you truly subjected the Pārthas to hardship, while they were constrained by the bonds of dharma; and Draupadī too, in the assembly—yet you endured their forbearance toward you.
english translation
कृतास्त्रं ह्यर्जुनं प्राप्य भीमं च कृतनिश्रमम् । गाण्डीवं चेषुधी चैव रथं च ध्वजमेव च । सहायं वासुदेवं च न क्षंस्यति युधिष्ठिरः॥५-१३६-५॥
Having regained Arjuna, trained in weapons, and Bhīma, hardened by exertion; and also the Gāṇḍīva bow, the quivers, the chariot and its standard; and with Vāsudeva as an ally—Yudhiṣṭhira will not continue to forbear.
