यदा शिनीनामधिपो मयोक्तः शरैः परान्मेघ इव प्रवर्षन् । प्रच्छादयिष्यञ्शरजालेन योधांस्तदा युद्धं धार्तराष्ट्रोऽन्वतप्स्यत्॥५-४७-४१॥
When the lord of the Śinis, as I have described, pours his arrows upon the foes like a rain-bearing cloud, and veils the fighters in a net of shafts, then the Dhārtarāṣṭra will repent of this war.
english translation
यदा धृतिं कुरुते योत्स्यमानः स दीर्घबाहुर्दृढधन्वा महात्मा । सिंहस्येव गन्धमाघ्राय गावः संवेष्टन्ते शत्रवोऽस्माद्यथाग्नेः॥५-४७-४२॥
When that great-souled warrior—long-armed and firm of bow—steadies his resolve to fight, the foes recoil from him, as cattle shrink back on scenting a lion, or as one draws away from fire.
english translation
स दीर्घबाहुर्दृढधन्वा महात्मा भिन्द्याद्गिरीन्संहरेत्सर्वलोकान् । अस्त्रे कृती निपुणः क्षिप्रहस्तो दिवि स्थितः सूर्य इवाभिभाति॥५-४७-४३॥
That great-souled warrior—long-armed and firm of bow—could cleave mountains and overwhelm entire realms; accomplished in weapons, skilled and swift-handed, he shines like the sun enthroned in the sky.
english translation
चित्रः सूक्ष्मः सुकृतो यादवस्य अस्त्रे योगो वृष्णिसिंहस्य भूयान् । यथाविधं योगमाहुः प्रशस्तं सर्वैर्गुणैः सात्यकिस्तैरुपेतः॥५-४७-४४॥
Remarkable, subtle, and perfectly accomplished is the Yādava’s discipline in arms; and preeminent indeed is the martial integration (yoga) of the Vṛṣṇi-lion. In the very manner praised by the authorities as proper, Sātyaki is endowed with all those excellences.
english translation
हिरण्मयं श्वेतहयैश्चतुर्भिर्यदा युक्तं स्यन्दनं माधवस्य । द्रष्टा युद्धे सात्यकेर्वै सुयोधनस्तदा तप्स्यत्यकृतात्मा स मन्दः॥५-४७-४५॥
When, amid the ordered stratagems of war, Suyodhana beholds Mādhava’s golden chariot yoked to four white horses, together with Sātyaki, then that undisciplined and imprudent man will suffer acute distress.
