तच्चेदेवं देशरूपेण पार्थाः करिष्यध्वं कर्म पापं चिराय । निवसध्वं वर्षपूगान्वनेषु दुःखं वासं पाण्डवा धर्महेतोः॥५-२७-१६॥
If, in this way and under the pretext of circumstance, you Pārthas pursue a sinful course for a long time, then you Pāṇḍavas will dwell for many years in the forests—an arduous abode—supposedly for the sake of dharma.
english translation
अप्रव्रज्ये योजयित्वा पुरस्तादात्माधीनं यद्बलं ते तदासीत् । नित्यं पाञ्चालाः सचिवास्तवेमे जनार्दनो युयुधानश्च वीरः॥५-२७-१७॥
Before you entered exile, when you had earlier marshaled your resources, the strength you possessed was under your own command. And these Pāñcālas were ever your allies; so too were Janārdana (Kṛṣṇa) and the heroic Yuyudhāna.
english translation
मत्स्यो राजा रुक्मरथः सपुत्रः प्रहारिभिः सह पुत्रैर्विराटः । राजानश्च ये विजिताः पुरस्तात्त्वामेव ते संश्रयेयुः समस्ताः॥५-२७-१८॥
The Matsya king Virāṭa—Rukmaratha with his son, together with his fighters and sons—and the kings who were previously subdued: all of them would take refuge in you alone.
english translation
महासहायः प्रतपन्बलस्थः पुरस्कृतो वासुदेवार्जुनाभ्याम् । वरान्हनिष्यन्द्विषतो रङ्गमध्ये व्यनेष्यथा धार्तराष्ट्रस्य दर्पम्॥५-२७-१९॥
With mighty support, standing amid a formidable host and honored by Vāsudeva (Kṛṣṇa) and Arjuna, you would decisively subdue the hostile champions in the very center of battle, and you would dispel the arrogance of the Dhārtarāṣṭra party.
english translation
बलं कस्माद्वर्धयित्वा परस्य निजान्कस्मात्कर्शयित्वा सहायान् । निरुष्य कस्माद्वर्षपूगान्वनेषु युयुत्ससे पाण्डव हीनकालम्॥५-२७-२०॥
Why did you increase the strength of the other side, and why did you wear down your own allies? Why, after being constrained for many years in the forests, do you now wish to enter conflict at an inopportune time, O Pāṇḍava?
