प्रयाहि शीघ्रं कैतव्य ब्रूयाश्चैव सुयोधनम् । श्रुतं वाक्यं गृहीतोऽर्थो मतं यत्ते तथास्तु तत्॥५-१५९-६॥

“Go quickly, Kaitavya, and speak to Suyodhana: ‘Your words have been heard; their meaning has been grasped; whatever your decision is—let it be so.’”

english translation

मद्वचश्चापि भूयस्ते वक्तव्यः स सुयोधनः । श्व इदानीं प्रदृश्येथाः पुरुषो भव दुर्मते॥५-१५९-७॥

“And further, you must also speak to that Suyodhana my words: ‘Tomorrow you will be seen as you truly are; become a man, O ill-advised one.’”

english translation

मन्यसे यच्च मूढ त्वं न योत्स्यति जनार्दनः । सारथ्येन वृतः पार्थैरिति त्वं न बिभेषि च॥५-१५९-८॥

“And you, deluded one, think that Janārdana will not engage in combat because he has been chosen by the Pārthas as a charioteer—and therefore you do not fear.”

english translation

जघन्यकालमप्येतद्भवेद्यत्सर्वपार्थिवान् । निर्दहेयमहं क्रोधात्तृणानीव हुताशनः॥५-१५९-९॥

“Even this would be a most regrettable time, were I—out of anger—to reduce all kings to ruin, as fire consumes dry grass.”

english translation

युधिष्ठिरनियोगात्तु फल्गुनस्य महात्मनः । करिष्ये युध्यमानस्य सारथ्यं विदितात्मनः॥५-१५९-१०॥

“But by Yudhiṣṭhira’s directive, I will serve as charioteer to the great-souled Phalguna (Arjuna) as he engages—he who is self-disciplined and self-aware.”
