इष्वस्त्रं मम बालस्य भवतैव चतुर्विधम् । उपदिष्टं महाबाहो शिष्योऽस्मि तव भार्गव॥५-१७८-१६॥
‘The fourfold science of weaponry was taught to me by you alone when I was a boy, O mighty-armed Bhārgava; I am your disciple.’
english translation
ततो मामब्रवीद्रामः क्रोधसंरक्तलोचनः । जानीषे मां गुरुं भीष्म न चेमां प्रतिगृह्णसे । सुतां काश्यस्य कौरव्य मत्प्रियार्थं महीपते॥५-१७८-१७॥
Then Rāma (Jāmadagnya), his eyes reddened with wrath, said to me: “Bhīṣma, you acknowledge me as your teacher, yet you do not accept this—Kāśya’s daughter, O Kauravya king—for my satisfaction, O ruler of the earth.”
english translation
न हि ते विद्यते शान्तिरन्यथा कुरुनन्दन । गृहाणेमां महाबाहो रक्षस्व कुलमात्मनः । त्वया विभ्रंशिता हीयं भर्तारं नाभिगच्छति॥५-१७८-१८॥
“Otherwise you will have no peace, O joy of the Kurus. Accept her, O strong-armed one; protect your own lineage. For, displaced by you, she does not approach a husband.”
english translation
तथा ब्रुवन्तं तमहं रामं परपुरंजयम् । नैतदेवं पुनर्भावि ब्रह्मर्षे किं श्रमेण ते॥५-१७८-१९॥
As he spoke thus—Rāma, the conqueror of hostile strongholds—I replied: “It will not be so, O brahmarṣi; why should you exert yourself for this?”
english translation
गुरुत्वं त्वयि संप्रेक्ष्य जामदग्न्य पुरातनम् । प्रसादये त्वां भगवंस्त्यक्तैषा हि पुरा मया॥५-१७८-२०॥
“Recognizing your ancient status as my teacher, O Jāmadagnya, I seek to conciliate you, O venerable one; for I had long ago renounced any claim upon her.”
