सन्त्येव मे ब्राह्मणेभ्यः कृतानि भावीन्यथो नो बत वर्तयन्ति । पश्याम्यहं युक्तरूपांस्तथैव तामेव सिद्धिं श्रावयेथा नृपं तम्॥५-३०-४१॥
Indeed, Brahmins have performed rites and observances on my behalf; and yet—alas—they do not proceed as expected. Still, I behold results that seem rightly grounded; convey to that king that very conclusion.
english translation
ये चानाथा दुर्बलाः सर्वकालमात्मन्येव प्रयतन्तेऽथ मूढाः । तांश्चापि त्वं कृपणान्सर्वथैव अस्मद्वाक्यात्कुशलं तात पृच्छेः॥५-३०-४२॥
And those who are without protectors and weak—who at all times strive only by their own means, though lacking discernment—those pitiable persons too you should, in every way, inquire after their welfare on my behalf, dear son.
english translation
ये चाप्यन्ये संश्रिता धार्तराष्ट्रान्नानादिग्भ्योऽभ्यागताः सूतपुत्र । दृष्ट्वा तांश्चैवार्हतश्चापि सर्वान्संपृच्छेथाः कुशलं चाव्ययं च॥५-३०-४३॥
And those others as well who have taken refuge with the Dhārtarāṣṭras, having arrived from various regions—O son of a charioteer—on seeing them, you should duly inquire of all of them about their welfare and security.
english translation
एवं सर्वानागताभ्यागतांश्च राज्ञो दूतान्सर्वदिग्भ्योऽभ्युपेतान् । पृष्ट्वा सर्वान्कुशलं तांश्च सूत पश्चादहं कुशली तेषु वाच्यः॥५-३०-४४॥
Thus, after inquiring about the welfare of all—both those who have come and those who are arriving—namely the king’s envoys who have approached from every direction, O Sūta, you should then convey to them that I am well.
english translation
न हीदृशाः सन्त्यपरे पृथिव्यां ये योधका धार्तराष्ट्रेण लब्धाः । धर्मस्तु नित्यो मम धर्म एव महाबलः शत्रुनिबर्हणाय॥५-३०-४५॥
For there are no others on earth like these combatants whom the Dhārtarāṣṭra has obtained. Yet my dharma is constant—indeed, my dharma is a great force for the strategic neutralization of adversaries.
