यत्राब्रवीत्सूतपुत्रः सभायां कृष्णां स्थितां श्वशुराणां समीपे । न ते गतिर्विद्यते याज्ञसेनि प्रपद्येदानीं धार्तराष्ट्रस्य वेश्म । पराजितास्ते पतयो न सन्ति पतिं चान्यं भामिनि त्वं वृणीष्व ॥५-२९-३६॥
There in the assembly, the sūta’s son Karṇa spoke to Kṛṣṇā as she stood near the elders of her husband’s house: “Yājñasenī, you have no refuge; now enter the dwelling of the Dhārtarāṣṭras. Your husbands, defeated, are as though no longer husbands; choose another husband, O proud woman.”
english translation
यो बीभत्सोर्हृदये प्रौढ आसीदस्थिप्रच्छिन्मर्मघाती सुघोरः । कर्णाच्छरो वाङ्मयस्तिग्मतेजाः प्रतिष्ठितो हृदये फल्गुनस्य॥५-२९-३७॥
That “arrow” from Karṇa—wrought of words and keen in its force—became lodged fast in the heart of Phalguna (Arjuna): dreadful, striking the vital points, as though it split the bone.
english translation
कृष्णाजिनानि परिधित्समानान्दुःशासनः कटुकान्यभ्यभाषत् । एते सर्वे षण्ढतिला विनष्टाः क्षयं गता नरकं दीर्घकालम् ॥५-२९-३८॥
As they were preparing to put on black antelope-skins, Duḥśāsana assailed them with bitter words: “All these are ruined—impotent like sterile sesame—bound for destruction and for a long hell.”
english translation
गान्धारराजः शकुनिर्निकृत्या यदब्रवीद्द्यूतकाले स पार्थान् । पराजितो नकुलः किं तवास्ति कृष्णया त्वं दीव्य वै याज्ञसेन्या॥५-२९-३९॥
This is what Śakuni, king of Gandhāra, said deceitfully to the Pārthas at the time of the dice game: “Nakula has been defeated—what remains to you? Gamble with Kṛṣṇā, with Yājñasenī.”
english translation
जानासि त्वं संजय सर्वमेतद्द्यूतेऽवाच्यं वाक्यमेवं यथोक्तम् । स्वयं त्वहं प्रार्थये तत्र गन्तुं समाधातुं कार्यमेतद्विपन्नम्॥५-२९-४०॥
You know all this, Saṃjaya—how, in the affair of the dice, such unspeakable words were uttered, just as reported. I myself wish to go there and set right this matter that has gone awry.
