नो चेद्गच्छेत्संगरं मन्दबुद्धिस्ताभ्यां सुतो मे विपरीतचेताः । नो चेत्कुरून्संजय निर्दहेतामिन्द्राविष्णू दैत्यसेनां यथैव । मतो हि मे शक्रसमो धनंजयः सनातनो वृष्णिवीरश्च विष्णुः॥५-२२-३१॥
If my son, of impaired judgment and contrary intent, does not refrain from going to armed engagement with those two, then, Sañjaya, they may consume the Kurus—just as Indra and Viṣṇu once consumed the host of Dāityas. For in my view Dhanañjaya is equal to Śakra, and the Vṛṣṇi hero is the eternal Viṣṇu.
english translation
धर्मारामो ह्रीनिषेधस्तरस्वी कुन्तीपुत्रः पाण्डवोऽजातशत्रुः । दुर्योधनेन निकृतो मनस्वी नो चेत्क्रुद्धः प्रदहेद्धार्तराष्ट्रान्॥५-२२-३२॥
The Pāṇḍava Ajātaśatru, Kuntī’s son—one who delights in dharma, restrained by modesty, and possessed of vigor—has been deceived by Duryodhana. If he becomes angered, he may consume the Dhārtarāṣṭras.
english translation
नाहं तथा ह्यर्जुनाद्वासुदेवाद्भीमाद्वापि यमयोर्वा बिभेमि । यथा राज्ञः क्रोधदीप्तस्य सूत मन्योरहं भीततरः सदैव॥५-२२-३३॥
Charioteer’s son, I do not fear Arjuna, Vāsudeva, Bhīma, or even the twin sons of Kuntī as much as I continually fear the king’s resentment when his anger is inflamed.
english translation
अलं तपोब्रह्मचर्येण युक्तः संकल्पोऽयं मानसस्तस्य सिध्येत् । तस्य क्रोधं संजयाहं समीके स्थाने जानन्भृशमस्म्यद्य भीतः॥५-२२-३४॥
Even if one were endowed with austerity and disciplined continence, this mental resolve of his would still come to fruition. Knowing the king’s anger and its proper occasion, Sañjaya, I am deeply apprehensive today.
english translation
स गच्छ शीघ्रं प्रहितो रथेन पाञ्चालराजस्य चमूं परेत्य । अजातशत्रुं कुशलं स्म पृच्छेः पुनः पुनः प्रीतियुक्तं वदेस्त्वम्॥५-२२-३५॥
Go quickly, dispatched in a chariot, and reach the army of the king of Pāñcāla. Ask Ajātaśatru (Yudhiṣṭhira) after his welfare, and speak to him repeatedly with goodwill.
