शान्ते भीष्मे तथा द्रोणे सूतपुत्रे च पातिते । निराशो जीविते राज्ये पुत्रेषु च भविष्यसि॥५-१६०-२१॥

When Bhīṣma and Droṇa have been brought to silence, and the charioteer’s son (Karṇa) has been made to fall, you will become without hope regarding life, sovereignty, and even your sons.

english translation

भ्रातॄणां निधनं दृष्ट्वा पुत्राणां च सुयोधन । भीमसेनेन निहतो दुष्कृतानि स्मरिष्यसि॥५-१६०-२२॥

O Suyodhana, after seeing the end of your brothers and sons, and being brought down by Bhīmasena, you will recall your own wrongful deeds.

english translation

न द्वितीयां प्रतिज्ञां हि प्रतिज्ञास्यति केशवः । सत्यं ब्रवीम्यहं ह्येतत्सर्वं सत्यं भविष्यति॥५-१६०-२३॥

Keśava will not undertake a second pledge. I speak this as truth: all of this will indeed prove true.

english translation

इत्युक्तः कैतवो राजंस्तद्वाक्यमुपधार्य च । अनुज्ञातो निववृते पुनरेव यथागतम्॥५-१६०-२४॥

Thus addressed, the envoy (Kaitava), having taken in that statement, and being granted leave, returned again by the same route as he had come.

english translation

उपावृत्य तु पाण्डुभ्यः कैतव्यो धृतराष्ट्रजम् । गत्वा यथोक्तं तत्सर्वमुवाच कुरुसंसदि॥५-१६०-२५॥

Having turned back from the sons of Pāṇḍu, Kaitava went to the son of Dhṛtarāṣṭra and reported everything, exactly as it had been said, in the Kuru assembly.
