उन्मत्तमिव चापि त्वां प्रहसन्तीह दुःखितम् । विलपन्तं बहुविधं भीतं परविकत्थने॥५-५४-२६॥
Here they would even laugh at you as though you were deranged—distressed, lamenting in many ways, fearful, and given to boasting over others.
english translation
एषां ह्येकैकशो राज्ञां समर्थः पाण्डवान्प्रति । आत्मानं मन्यते सर्वो व्येतु ते भयमागतम्॥५-५४-२७॥
For each of these kings, individually, considers himself capable against the Pāṇḍavas. Let the fear that has come upon you be dispelled.
english translation
सर्वां समग्रां सेनां मे वासवोऽपि न शक्नुयात् । हन्तुमक्षय्यरूपेयं ब्रह्मणापि स्वयम्भुवा॥५-५४-२८॥
Even Vāsava (Indra) would not be able to neutralize my entire, complete army; this force is of an imperishable form—even for Brahmā, the self-born.
english translation
युधिष्ठिरः पुरं हित्वा पञ्च ग्रामान्स याचति । भीतो हि मामकात्सैन्यात्प्रभावाच्चैव मे प्रभो॥५-५४-२९॥
Yudhiṣṭhira, abandoning the city, asks for five villages—indeed, O lord, he fears my armies and also my power and influence.
english translation
समर्थं मन्यसे यच्च कुन्तीपुत्रं वृकोदरम् । तन्मिथ्या न हि मे कृत्स्नं प्रभावं वेत्थ भारत॥५-५४-३०॥
And as for your thinking that Vṛkodara, Kuntī’s son, is capable—this is mistaken; for you do not know my full power, O Bhārata.
