अयं त्वेको वृथादृष्टिर्धार्तराष्ट्रस्य दुर्मतेः । मोहानुवर्ती सततं पापो द्वेष्टि च पाण्डवान्॥५-१४२-१६॥
But this one—Dhārtarāṣṭra’s son of perverted judgment—clings to a futile outlook. Ever following delusion, he is stained in dharma and bears hatred toward the Pāṇḍavas.
english translation
महत्यनर्थे निर्बन्धी बलवांश्च विशेषतः । कर्णः सदा पाण्डवानां तन्मे दहति सांप्रतम्॥५-१४२-१७॥
Karṇa is stubbornly bound to a great calamity, and he is especially mighty. His ceaseless antagonism toward the Pāṇḍavas burns my heart at present.
english translation
आशंसे त्वद्य कर्णस्य मनोऽहं पाण्डवान्प्रति । प्रसादयितुमासाद्य दर्शयन्ती यथातथम्॥५-१४२-१८॥
Yet today I hope to incline Karṇa’s mind toward the Pāṇḍavas—approaching him to seek reconciliation and setting forth matters as they truly are.
english translation
तोषितो भगवान्यत्र दुर्वासा मे वरं ददौ । आह्वानं देवसंयुक्तं वसन्त्याः पितृवेश्मनि॥५-१४२-१९॥
There, when the venerable Durvāsas was pleased, he granted me a boon: a divine invocation joined with the devas, while I was dwelling in my father’s house.
english translation
साहमन्तःपुरे राज्ञः कुन्तिभोजपुरस्कृता । चिन्तयन्ती बहुविधं हृदयेन विदूयता॥५-१४२-२०॥
And I—honored by Kuntibhoja—was in the king’s inner apartments, pondering in many ways, my heart distressed.
