यदा मन्दः परबाणान्विमुक्तान्ममेषुभिर्ह्रियमाणान्प्रतीपम् । तिर्यग्विद्वांश्छिद्यमानान्क्षुरप्रैस्तदा युद्धं धार्तराष्ट्रोऽन्वतप्स्यत्॥५-४७-५१॥
When that heedless man sees the enemy’s arrows, once released, driven back against their course by my shafts, and cleft crosswise by razor-edged missiles, then the Dhārtarāṣṭra will be sorely distressed in the engagement.
english translation
यदा विपाठा मद्भुजविप्रमुक्ता द्विजाः फलानीव महीरुहाग्रात् । प्रच्छेत्तार उत्तमाङ्गानि यूनां तदा युद्धं धार्तराष्ट्रोऽन्वतप्स्यत्॥५-४७-५२॥
When those broad-bladed missiles, loosed from my arms—like birds dropping fruits from the treetops—sever the heads of young warriors, then the Dhārtarāṣṭra will feel grievous distress in the engagement.
english translation
यदा द्रष्टा पततः स्यन्दनेभ्यो महागजेभ्योऽश्वगतांश्च योधान् । शरैर्हतान्पातितांश्चैव रङ्गे तदा युद्धं धार्तराष्ट्रोऽन्वतप्स्यत्॥५-४७-५३॥
When he sees warriors falling from chariots, from great elephants, and from horses—struck by arrows and cast down upon the field—then the Dhārtarāṣṭra will be severely distressed in the engagement.
english translation
पदातिसंघान्रथसंघान्समन्ताद्व्यात्ताननः काल इवाततेषुः । प्रणोत्स्यामि ज्वलितैर्बाणवर्षैः शत्रूंस्तदा तप्स्यति मन्दबुद्धिः॥५-४७-५४॥
Like Time with gaping jaws, I shall advance from every side upon the massed infantry and the chariot-formations, driving the foes back with blazing showers of arrows; then the dull-minded one will taste remorse.
english translation
सर्वा दिशः संपतता रथेन रजोध्वस्तं गाण्डिवेनापकृत्तम् । यदा द्रष्टा स्वबलं संप्रमूढं तदा पश्चात्तप्स्यति मन्दबुद्धिः॥५-४७-५५॥
When he beholds his own forces thrown into confusion—scattered to every quarter by the onrushing chariot and cut down by the Gāṇḍīva amid dust and disorder—then, later, the dull-minded one will repent.
