माद्रीसुतौ चापि रणाजिमध्ये सर्वा दिशः संपतन्तौ स्मरन्ति । सेनां वर्षन्तौ शरवर्षैरजस्रं महारथौ समरे दुष्प्रकम्प्यौ॥५-२४-६॥
And in the midst of the engagements they also remember the two sons of Mādrī, ranging across all directions, continuously projecting volleys of arrows upon the opposing forces—two great chariot-warriors, difficult to unsettle in combat.
english translation
न त्वेव मन्ये पुरुषस्य राजन्ननागतं ज्ञायते यद्भविष्यम् । त्वं चेदिमं सर्वधर्मोपपन्नः प्राप्तः क्लेशं पाण्डव कृच्छ्ररूपम्॥५-२४-७॥
O King, I do not think a man can know beforehand what the future will bring. Even you—endowed with every form of dharma—have met with grievous hardship, O Pāṇḍava, in a most difficult guise.
english translation
त्वमेवैतत्सर्वमतश्च भूयः समीकुर्याः प्रज्ञयाजातशत्रो । न कामार्थं संत्यजेयुर्हि धर्मं पाण्डोः सुताः सर्व एवेन्द्रकल्पाः॥५-२४-८॥
You yourself, O Ajātaśatru, should examine all this again with discernment. For the sons of Pāṇḍu—each comparable to Indra—would not forsake dharma for the sake of desire or worldly gain.
english translation
त्वमेवैतत्प्रज्ञयाजातशत्रो शमं कुर्या येन शर्माप्नुयुस्ते । धार्तराष्ट्राः पाण्डवाः सृञ्जयाश्च ये चाप्यन्ये पार्थिवाः संनिविष्टाः॥५-२४-९॥
You, O Ajātaśatru, should by discernment bring about conciliation, by which they may attain security and well-being—the Dhārtarāṣṭras, the Pāṇḍavas, the Sṛñjayas, and the other assembled kings as well.
english translation
यन्माब्रवीद्धृतराष्ट्रो निशायामजातशत्रो वचनं पिता ते । सहामात्यः सहपुत्रश्च राजन्समेत्य तां वाचमिमां निबोध॥५-२४-१०॥
O Ajātaśatru, understand the statement that Dhṛtarāṣṭra—your father—spoke to me at night, after meeting together with his ministers and his sons, O King; heed these words.
