विशेषत इहास्माकं निमित्तानि विनाशने । उल्काभिर्हि प्रदीप्ताभिर्वध्यते पृतना तव॥५-१३६-२१॥

In particular, among us here, the signs point toward destruction: by blazing meteors, your host is, as it were, marked for defeat.

english translation

वाहनान्यप्रहृष्टानि रुदन्तीव विशां पते । गृध्रास्ते पर्युपासन्ते सैन्यानि च समन्ततः॥५-१३६-२२॥

The mounts are dispirited, as if lamenting, O lord of the people; vultures hover around your forces on all sides.

english translation

नगरं न यथापूर्वं तथा राजनिवेशनम् । शिवाश्चाशिवनिर्घोषा दीप्तां सेवन्ति वै दिशम्॥५-१३६-२३॥

The city and the royal dwelling are no longer as they once were, O king. Jackals, crying out with ill omen, are indeed moving toward a blazing quarter of the sky.

english translation

कुरु वाक्यं पितुर्मातुरस्माकं च हितैषिणाम् । त्वय्यायत्तो महाबाहो शमो व्यायाम एव च॥५-१३६-२४॥

Heed the counsel of your father and mother, and of us who seek your welfare. O strong-armed one, upon you depend both conciliation and the undertaking of forceful measures.

english translation

न चेत्करिष्यसि वचः सुहृदामरिकर्शन । तप्स्यसे वाहिनीं दृष्ट्वा पार्थबाणप्रपीडिताम्॥५-१३६-२५॥

If you do not act upon the counsel of your well-wishers, O afflicter of foes, you will suffer upon seeing your forces pressed hard by the arrows of Pārtha (Arjuna).
