कांदिग्भूतं छिन्नगात्रं विसंज्ञं दुर्योधनो द्रक्ष्यति सर्वसैन्यम् । हताश्ववीराग्र्यनरेन्द्रनागं पिपासितं श्रान्तपत्रं भयार्तम् ॥५-४७-५६॥
Duryodhana will see the entire army disoriented, limbs severed and senses failing—its horses and foremost warriors brought low, its leading kings exhausted, thirst-stricken, and anguished by fear.

आर्तस्वरं हन्यमानं हतं च विकीर्णकेशास्थिकपालसंघम् । प्रजापतेः कर्म यथार्धनिष्ठितं तदा दृष्ट्वा तप्स्यते मन्दबुद्धिः॥५-४७-५७॥
When he sees the cries of anguish, the hosts struck down and rendered powerless, and the battlefield strewn with hair, bones, and shattered skulls—like a grim enactment of the Creator’s ordinance—then the dull-minded one will repent.
english translation
यदा रथे गाण्डिवं वासुदेवं दिव्यं शङ्खं पाञ्चजन्यं हयांश्च । तूणावक्षय्यौ देवदत्तं च मां च द्रष्टा युद्धे धार्तराष्ट्रः समेतान्॥५-४७-५८॥

उद्वर्तयन्दस्युसंघान्समेतान्प्रवर्तयन्युगमन्यद्युगान्ते । यदा धक्ष्याम्यग्निवत्कौरवेयांस्तदा तप्ता धृतराष्ट्रः सपुत्रः॥५-४७-५९॥
When, like a power that overturns the assembled bands of aggressors and sets a new age in motion at the end of an era, I consume the Kauravas as fire does—then Dhṛtarāṣṭra, together with his sons, will be scorched by grief.

सहभ्राता सहपुत्रः ससैन्यो भ्रष्टैश्वर्यः क्रोधवशोऽल्पचेताः । दर्पस्यान्ते विहिते वेपमानः पश्चान्मन्दस्तप्स्यति धार्तराष्ट्रः॥५-४७-६०॥
With his brothers, his sons, and his army—stripped of sovereignty, driven by wrath, and scant in judgment—when the end of his arrogance has been ordained, trembling, the son of Dhṛtarāṣṭra will afterward repent.
