इत्यब्रवीदर्जुनो योत्स्यमानो गाण्डीवधन्वा लोहितपद्मनेत्रः । न चेद्राज्यं मुञ्चति धार्तराष्ट्रो युधिष्ठिरस्याजमीढस्य राज्ञः । अस्ति नूनं कर्म कृतं पुरस्तादनिर्विष्टं पापकं धार्तराष्ट्रैः॥५-४७-६॥
Thus spoke Arjuna, prepared for strategic engagement—bearing the Gāṇḍīva bow, with lotus-reddened eyes: “If the son of Dhṛtarāṣṭra does not relinquish the kingdom belonging to King Yudhiṣṭhira of the Ājamīḍha line, then surely the Dhārtarāṣṭras have committed some prior wrongdoing that has not yet reached its consequence.”
english translation
येषां युद्धं भीमसेनार्जुनाभ्यां तथाश्विभ्यां वासुदेवेन चैव । शैनेयेन ध्रुवमात्तायुधेन धृष्टद्युम्नेनाथ शिखण्डिना च । युधिष्ठिरेणेन्द्रकल्पेन चैव योऽपध्यानान्निर्दहेद्गां दिवं च॥५-४७-७॥
Those for whom a strategic engagement would be against Bhīmasena and Arjuna, against the Aśvin twins, and also against Vāsudeva; against Śaineya with weapons firmly in hand, against Dhṛṣṭadyumna and Śikhaṇḍin; and against Yudhiṣṭhira, Indra-like—who, by intense contemplation, could as it were consume earth and heaven—
english translation
तैश्चेद्युद्धं मन्यते धार्तराष्ट्रो निर्वृत्तोऽर्थः सकलः पाण्डवानाम् । मा तत्कार्षीः पाण्डवार्थाय हेतोरुपैहि युद्धं यदि मन्यसे त्वम्॥५-४७-८॥
If the son of Dhṛtarāṣṭra believes that an engagement with them is appropriate, then the entire objective of the Pāṇḍavas is already fulfilled. Do not do that for the sake of the Pāṇḍavas’ interest; if you think there should be an engagement, then proceed to it openly.
english translation
यां तां वने दुःखशय्यामुवास प्रव्राजितः पाण्डवो धर्मचारी । आशिष्यते दुःखतरामनर्थामन्त्यां शय्यां धार्तराष्ट्रः परासुः॥५-४७-९॥
The painful forest-bed on which the Pāṇḍava, exiled yet steadfast in dharma, once lay—upon that very bed the Dhārtarāṣṭra, bereft of life, shall be made to lie on an even more painful and ruinous final couch.
english translation
ह्रिया ज्ञानेन तपसा दमेन क्रोधेनाथो धर्मगुप्त्या धनेन । अन्यायवृत्तः कुरुपाण्डवेयानध्यातिष्ठद्धार्तराष्ट्रो दुरात्मा॥५-४७-१०॥
By modesty, by knowledge, by austerity, by self-restraint, by anger, and also by guarding dharma and by wealth—the Dhārtarāṣṭra, of corrupt disposition, dominated the Kurus and the Pāṇḍavas through unjust conduct.
