तेन त्वं निर्जिता भद्रे यस्मान्नीतासि भामिनि । संशयः शाल्वराजस्य तेन त्वयि सुमध्यमे॥५-१७६-११॥
For that reason you are considered “overcome”, O good lady—since you were taken away, O passionate one. For that reason King Śālva has doubt concerning you, O slender-waisted one.

भीष्मः पुरुषमानी च जितकाशी तथैव च । तस्मात्प्रतिक्रिया युक्ता भीष्मे कारयितुं त्वया॥५-१७६-१२॥
Bhīṣma is proud of his manly honor, and he is also the conqueror of Kāśī; therefore, it is appropriate for you to set in motion a fitting counter-measure directed toward Bhīṣma.

भीष्मं वा शाल्वराजं वा यं वा दोषेण गच्छसि । प्रशाधि तं महाबाहो यत्कृतेऽहं सुदुःखिता॥५-१७६-१४॥
“Whether it be Bhīṣma or the king of Śālva—or whomever you deem at fault—chastise him, O mighty-armed one, for because of him I have fallen into grievous sorrow.”

भीष्म उवाच । एवं कथयतामेव तेषां स दिवसो गतः । रात्रिश्च भरतश्रेष्ठ सुखशीतोष्णमारुता॥५-१७६-१५॥
Bhīṣma said: “As they spoke in this manner, that day passed for them; and the night too, O best of the Bharatas, went by with pleasant breezes—neither cold nor hot.”
