मायोपधः प्रणिधानार्जवाभ्यां तपोदमाभ्यां धर्मगुप्त्या बलेन । सत्यं ब्रुवन्प्रीतियुक्त्यानृतेन तितिक्षमाणः क्लिश्यमानोऽतिवेलम्॥५-४७-११॥
Employing stratagem and concealment, by vigilance and apparent straightforwardness, by austerity and self-restraint, by the protection of dharma, and by force—speaking truth while also using agreeable but untrue speech, enduring and yet being strained beyond measure—
english translation
यदा ज्येष्ठः पाण्डवः संशितात्मा क्रोधं यत्तं वर्षपूगान्सुघोरम् । अवस्रष्टा कुरुषूद्वृत्तचेतास्तदा युद्धं धार्तराष्ट्रोऽन्वतप्स्यत्॥५-४७-१२॥
When the eldest Pāṇḍava, disciplined in self, releases the dreadful anger he has restrained for many years against the Kurus of perverted intent, then the Dhārtarāṣṭra will regret the battle that follows.
english translation
कृष्णवर्त्मेव ज्वलितः समिद्धो यथा दहेत्कक्षमग्निर्निदाघे । एवं दग्धा धार्तराष्ट्रस्य सेनां युधिष्ठिरः क्रोधदीप्तोऽनुवीक्ष्य॥५-४७-१३॥
As a fire, blazing and fully kindled, with a dark path of smoke, would consume dry brush in the heat of summer—so, when Yudhiṣṭhira, inflamed with anger, turns his gaze, the Dhārtarāṣṭra host would be brought to ruin.
english translation
यदा द्रष्टा भीमसेनं रणस्थं गदाहस्तं क्रोधविषं वमन्तम् । दुर्मर्षणं पाण्डवं भीमवेगं तदा युद्धं धार्तराष्ट्रोऽन्वतप्स्यत्॥५-४७-१४॥
When Dhārtarāṣṭra (Duryodhana) beholds Bhīmasena stationed on the field of battle, mace in hand, as though spewing forth the “poison” of wrath—unyielding, a Pāṇḍava of Bhīma-like impetus—then will he repent of having chosen war.
english translation
महासिंहो गाव इव प्रविश्य गदापाणिर्धार्तराष्ट्रानुपेत्य । यदा भीमो भीमरूपो निहन्ता तदा युद्धं धार्तराष्ट्रोऽन्वतप्स्यत्॥५-४७-१५॥
Like a great lion entering among cattle, Bhīma—mace in hand—draws near to the Dhārtarāṣṭras; in his dreadful aspect, a decisive slayer of foes: then will Dhārtarāṣṭra (Duryodhana) regret the war.
