बाणस्य भौमस्य च कर्ण हन्ता किरीटिनं रक्षति वासुदेवः । यस्त्वादृशानां च गरीयसां च हन्ता रिपूणां तुमुले प्रगाढे॥५-६१-११॥
O Karṇa, Vāsudeva protects Arjuna, the diadem-wearer—he who has already checked Bāṇa and Bhauma. In fierce and deep contests of strategy, he is the one who brings down foes, even those as mighty and eminent as yourself.
english translation
कर्ण उवाच । असंशयं वृष्णिपतिर्यथोक्तस्तथा च भूयश्च ततो महात्मा । अहं यदुक्तः परुषं तु किंचित्पितामहस्तस्य फलं शृणोतु॥५-६१-१२॥
Karṇa said: Without doubt, the lord of the Vṛṣṇis is exactly as you have described—indeed, even more so, for he is great-souled. If I have spoken anything harsh, let the grandsire hear what its consequence shall be.
english translation
न्यस्यामि शस्त्राणि न जातु संख्ये पितामहो द्रक्ष्यति मां सभायाम् । त्वयि प्रशान्ते तु मम प्रभावं द्रक्ष्यन्ति सर्वे भुवि भूमिपालाः॥५-६१-१३॥
I will never lay down my weapons in any battle; the grandsire shall see me in the assembly. But when you are no longer in the field, then all the kings upon the earth will behold the full measure of my power and prowess.
english translation
वैशंपायन उवाच । इत्येवमुक्त्वा स महाधनुष्मान्हित्वा सभां स्वं भवनं जगाम । भीष्मस्तु दुर्योधनमेव राजन्मध्ये कुरूणां प्रहसन्नुवाच॥५-६१-१४॥
Vaiśaṃpāyana said: Having spoken thus, that great archer left the assembly and went to his own residence. Then Bhīṣma, in the midst of the Kurus, addressed Duryodhana, O king, with a faintly amused tone.
english translation
सत्यप्रतिज्ञः किल सूतपुत्रस्तथा स भारं विषहेत कस्मात् । व्यूहं प्रतिव्यूह्य शिरांसि भित्त्वा लोकक्षयं पश्यत भीमसेनात्॥५-६१-१५॥
The charioteer’s son is said to be steadfast in his vows—why, then, should he not bear this burden? Yet, by countering formation with formation and shattering the heads of command, behold the wide destruction that may arise from Bhīmasena.
