सौभराजमुपेत्याहमब्रुवं दुर्वचं वचः । न च मां प्रत्यगृह्णात्स चारित्रपरिशङ्कितः॥५-१७६-३६॥
Approaching the king of Saubha, I spoke words that were harsh; yet he did not accept me, for he suspected my conduct.
english translation
एतत्सर्वं विनिश्चित्य स्वबुद्ध्या भृगुनन्दन । यदत्रौपयिकं कार्यं तच्चिन्तयितुमर्हसि॥५-१७६-३७॥
Therefore, having determined all this by your own judgment, O descendant of Bhṛgu, you ought to consider what action here is fitting and expedient.
english translation
ममात्र व्यसनस्यास्य भीष्मो मूलं महाव्रतः । येनाहं वशमानीता समुत्क्षिप्य बलात्तदा॥५-१७६-३८॥
In this misfortune of mine, Bhīṣma—of the great vow—is the very root of it; for it was he who then seized me and, by force, brought me under his control.
english translation
भीष्मं जहि महाबाहो यत्कृते दुःखमीदृशम् । प्राप्ताहं भृगुशार्दूल चराम्यप्रियमुत्तमम्॥५-१७६-३९॥
Therefore, O mighty-armed one, bring down Bhīṣma, because of whom I have met with such suffering. O tiger among the Bhṛgus, I endure what is profoundly unwelcome.
english translation
स हि लुब्धश्च मानी च जितकाशी च भार्गव । तस्मात्प्रतिक्रिया कर्तुं युक्ता तस्मै त्वयानघ॥५-१७६-४०॥
For he is acquisitive and proud, and he has conquered Kāśī, O Bhārgava. Therefore, O faultless one, it is fitting for you to undertake a counter-measure against him.
