न तु पर्यायधर्मेण सिद्धिं प्राप्नोति भूयसीम् । मनसैव हि भूतानि धाता प्रकुरुते वशे॥५-१५८-२६॥
But one does not attain greater success by merely following a secondary or expedient dharma. For the Ordainer (Dhātṛ) brings beings under control by the mind alone.
english translation
त्रयोदश समा भुक्तं राज्यं विलपतस्तव । भूयश्चैव प्रशासिष्ये निहत्य त्वां सबान्धवम्॥५-१५८-२७॥
For thirteen years I have enjoyed the kingdom while you lamented. And again I shall rule, having neutralized you together with your allies.
english translation
क्व तदा गाण्डिवं तेऽभूद्यत्त्वं दासपणे जितः । क्व तदा भीमसेनस्य बलमासीच्च फल्गुन॥५-१५८-२८॥
Where was your Gāṇḍīva then, when you were won in the stake of servitude? And where then was Bhīmasena’s strength, O Phalguna?
english translation
सगदाद्भीमसेनाच्च पार्थाच्चैव सगाण्डिवात् । न वै मोक्षस्तदा वोऽभूद्विना कृष्णामनिन्दिताम्॥५-१५८-२९॥
Even with Bhīmasena bearing the mace, and with Pārtha together with the Gāṇḍīva, you would not have obtained release then—without Kṛṣṇā, the blameless one.
english translation
सा वो दास्यं समापन्नान्मोक्षयामास भामिनी । अमानुष्यसमायुक्तान्दास्यकर्मण्यवस्थितान्॥५-१५८-३०॥
That high-spirited lady released you when you had fallen into servitude—when you were set to servile duties, constrained by circumstances beyond ordinary human power.
