किरीटी बलवान्पार्थः कृतास्त्रश्च महाबलः । को हि पाण्डुसुतं युद्धे विषहेत धनंजयम्॥५-२१-६॥
The diadem-bearing Pārtha is mighty, fully trained in weapons, and of great strength. Who indeed could withstand Dhanaṃjaya, the son of Pāṇḍu, in battle?
english translation
अपि वज्रधरः साक्षात्किमुतान्ये धनुर्भृतः । त्रयाणामपि लोकानां समर्थ इति मे मतिः॥५-२१-७॥
Even Vajradhara—Indra himself—how much more so other bowmen, could face him; in my view, he is a match even for the three worlds.
english translation
भीष्मे ब्रुवति तद्वाक्यं धृष्टमाक्षिप्य मन्युमान् । दुर्योधनं समालोक्य कर्णो वचनमब्रवीत्॥५-२१-८॥
As Bhīṣma spoke those words, Karṇa—angered—boldly interjected; and, looking toward Duryodhana, he spoke.
english translation
न तन्न विदितं ब्रह्मंल्लोके भूतेन केनचित् । पुनरुक्तेन किं तेन भाषितेन पुनः पुनः॥५-२१-९॥
O Brahmin, there is nothing in that which is unknown to anyone in the world. What is the use of repeating it—of saying the same thing again and again?
english translation
दुर्योधनार्थे शकुनिर्द्यूते निर्जितवान्पुरा । समयेन गतोऽरण्यं पाण्डुपुत्रो युधिष्ठिरः॥५-२१-१०॥
Formerly, for Duryodhana’s sake, Śakuni defeated them in the game of dice. In accordance with the stipulated term, Yudhiṣṭhira—the son of Pāṇḍu—went to the forest.
