हत्वा त्वहं धार्तराष्ट्रान्सकर्णान्राज्यं कुरूणामवजेता समग्रम् । यद्वः कार्यं तत्कुरुध्वं यथास्वमिष्टान्दारानात्मजांश्चोपभुङ्क्त॥५-४७-९१॥
After neutralizing the Dhartarashtras together with Karna, I will secure the entire sovereignty of the Kurus. Do what each of you must do; in accordance with your own station, enjoy what is dear—your spouses and your children.
english translation
अप्येवं नो ब्राह्मणाः सन्ति वृद्धा बहुश्रुताः शीलवन्तः कुलीनाः । सांवत्सरा ज्योतिषि चापि युक्ता नक्षत्रयोगेषु च निश्चयज्ञाः॥५-४७-९२॥
Moreover, we have elderly brahmanas—learned, of good conduct, and of noble lineage—versed in calendrical computation and also trained in astral science, with decisive knowledge of stellar configurations and conjunctions.
english translation
उच्चावचं दैवयुक्तं रहस्यं दिव्याः प्रश्ना मृगचक्रा मुहूर्ताः । क्षयं महान्तं कुरुसृञ्जयानां निवेदयन्ते पाण्डवानां जयं च॥५-४७-९३॥
Various esoteric indications connected with fate—portent-like inquiries, cyclical signs, and auspicious time-moments—report a great diminution of the Kuru-Srinjayas and also the victory of the Pandavas.
english translation
तथा हि नो मन्यतेऽजातशत्रुः संसिद्धार्थो द्विषतां निग्रहाय । जनार्दनश्चाप्यपरोक्षविद्यो न संशयं पश्यति वृष्णिसिंहः॥५-४७-९४॥
Thus does Ajātaśatru (Yudhiṣṭhira) judge: the aim is already secured for the curbing of hostile forces. And Janārdana too—whose knowledge is immediate and direct—perceives no doubt, that lion among the Vṛṣṇis.
english translation
अहं च जानामि भविष्यरूपं पश्यामि बुद्ध्या स्वयमप्रमत्तः । दृष्टिश्च मे न व्यथते पुराणी युध्यमाना धार्तराष्ट्रा न सन्ति॥५-४७-९५॥
I too know the shape the future will assume; vigilant myself, I discern it by reason. And my long-standing perception does not waver: the Dhārtarāṣṭras will not endure in sustained battle.
