धृतराष्ट्र उवाच । यस्य वै नानृता वाचः प्रवृत्ता अनुशुश्रुमः । त्रैलोक्यमपि तस्य स्याद्योद्धा यस्य धनंजयः ॥५-५१-१॥
Dhṛtarāṣṭra said: We have heard that his speech never turns toward falsehood. Even the three worlds would belong to the one for whom Dhanaṃjaya (Arjuna) fights.
english translation
तस्यैव च न पश्यामि युधि गाण्डीवधन्वनः । अनिशं चिन्तयानोऽपि यः प्रतीयाद्रथेन तम् ॥५-५१-२॥
And in battle I do not see anyone who could confront that archer of the Gāṇḍīva; even if one were to ponder it unceasingly, none could approach him in a chariot to challenge him.
english translation
अस्यतः कर्णिनालीकान्मार्गणान्हृदयच्छिदः । प्रत्येता न समः कश्चिद्युधि गाण्डीवधन्वनः॥५-५१-३॥
As he looses barbed arrows—missiles that pierce the heart—none on the battlefield is equal to the bearer of the Gāṇḍīva in standing against him.
english translation
द्रोणकर्णौ प्रतीयातां यदि वीरौ नरर्षभौ । माहात्म्यात्संशयो लोके न त्वस्ति विजयो मम॥५-५१-४॥
Even if Droṇa and Karṇa—heroic bulls among men—were to confront him, his greatness would cast doubt upon the world; but for me there is no victory.
english translation
घृणी कर्णः प्रमादी च आचार्यः स्थविरो गुरुः । समर्थो बलवान्पार्थो दृढधन्वा जितक्लमः । भवेत्सुतुमुलं युद्धं सर्वशोऽप्यपराजयः ॥५-५१-५॥
Karṇa is compassionate, yet prone to lapses; the teacher is aged, a guru. But Pārtha (Arjuna) is capable and powerful, steadfast in bowcraft and tireless. The clash would be utterly fierce, and the defeat comprehensive on every side.
