वासुदेवसहस्रं वा फल्गुनानां शतानि वा । आसाद्य माममोघेषुं द्रविष्यन्ति दिशो दश॥५-१५८-३६॥
Even if there were a thousand Vāsudevas, or hundreds of Phalguna (Arjunas), upon encountering me—whose arrows never fail—they would scatter and flee to all ten directions.
english translation
संयुगं गच्छ भीष्मेण भिन्धि त्वं शिरसा गिरिम् । प्रतरेमं महागाधं बाहुभ्यां पुरुषोदधिम्॥५-१५८-३७॥
Go into battle with Bhīṣma; split a mountain with your head; and try, with the strength of your arms, to cross this profoundly deep ocean of warriors.
english translation
शारद्वतमहीमानं विविंशतिझषाकुलम् । बृहद्बलसमुच्चालं सौमदत्तितिमिंगिलम्॥५-१५८-३८॥
This “ocean of men” has Śāradvata (Kṛpa) for its vast expanse; it is thronged with Viviṃśati like shoals of fish; it is churned and heaved by Bṛhadbala; and it holds Saumadatti (Bhūriśravas) as a great sea-creature.
english translation
दुःशासनौघं शलशल्यमत्स्यं सुषेणचित्रायुधनागनक्रम् । जयद्रथाद्रिं पुरुमित्रगाधं दुर्मर्षणोदं शकुनिप्रपातम्॥५-१५८-३९॥
It has Duḥśāsana as its torrent; Śala and Śalya as its fish; Suṣeṇa and Citrāyudha as its elephants and crocodiles; Jayadratha as its mountain; Purumitra as its depth; Durmarṣaṇa as its waters; and Śakuni as its precipitous fall.
english translation
शस्त्रौघमक्षय्यमतिप्रवृद्धं यदावगाह्य श्रमनष्टचेताः । भविष्यसि त्वं हतसर्वबान्धवस्तदा मनस्ते परितापमेष्यति॥५-१५८-४०॥
When, having plunged into this inexhaustible and vastly swollen flood of weapons, your discernment is undone by exhaustion, you will find yourself bereft of all kinsmen; then your mind will come to anguish.
