दत्तं हुतमधीतं च ब्राह्मणास्तर्पिता धनैः । आवयोर्गतमायुश्च कृतकृत्यौ च विद्धि नौ॥५-१३७-१६॥

Gifts have been given, offerings made, and sacred learning pursued; brāhmaṇas have been satisfied with wealth. Know that our lifespan has passed, and that we are those whose duties are completed.

english translation

त्वं तु हित्वा सुखं राज्यं मित्राणि च धनानि च । विग्रहं पाण्डवैः कृत्वा महद्व्यसनमाप्स्यसि॥५-१३७-१७॥

But you—abandoning comfort, sovereignty, friends, and wealth—by entering into hostility with the Pāṇḍavas, will incur a great calamity.

english translation

द्रौपदी यस्य चाशास्ते विजयं सत्यवादिनी । तपोघोरव्रता देवी न त्वं जेष्यसि पाण्डवम्॥५-१३७-१८॥

The truth-speaking Draupadī, a goddess-like woman of severe ascetic vows, invokes victory for him; you will not defeat that Pāṇḍava.

english translation

मन्त्री जनार्दनो यस्य भ्राता यस्य धनंजयः । सर्वशस्त्रभृतां श्रेष्ठं कथं जेष्यसि पाण्डवम्॥५-१३७-१९॥

For whom Janārdana is the counsellor, and for whom Dhanaṃjaya is the brother—the foremost among all weapon-bearers—how will you defeat that Pāṇḍava?

english translation

सहाया ब्राह्मणा यस्य धृतिमन्तो जितेन्द्रियाः । तमुग्रतपसं वीरं कथं जेष्यसि पाण्डवम्॥५-१३७-२०॥

Whose allies are Brāhmaṇas—steadfast and self-controlled—how will you defeat that heroic Pāṇḍava of formidable austerity?
