एवं प्रतिष्ठाप्य धनंजयो मां ततोऽर्थवद्धर्मवच्चापि वाक्यम् । प्रोवाचेदं वासुदेवं समीक्ष्य पार्थो धीमांल्लोहितान्तायताक्षः॥५-६४-११॥
Having thus seated me, Dhanañjaya then spoke words both practical and consonant with dharma; the discerning son of Pṛthā, with long eyes tinged with red, spoke while looking toward Vāsudeva.
english translation
यथा श्रुतं ते वदतो महात्मनो मधुप्रवीरस्य वचः समाहितम् । तथैव वाच्यं भवता हि मद्वचः समागतेषु क्षितिपेषु सर्वशः॥५-६४-१२॥
Just as you heard the composed words spoken by that great-souled hero of the Madhu line, so too must my message be delivered by you exactly as it is, in every respect, when the kings have assembled from all sides.
english translation
शराग्निधूमे रथनेमिनादिते धनुःस्रुवेणास्त्रबलापहारिणा । यथा न होमः क्रियते महामृधे तथा समेत्य प्रयतध्वमादृताः॥५-६४-१३॥
In the great engagement—filled with the smoke of arrow-fire, resounding with the roar of chariot-wheels, and with the bow as the ladle that pours forth weapons and drains away strength—assemble together with care and reverence, and see that no “offering” is made, that is, no needless destruction.
english translation
न चेत्प्रयच्छध्वममित्रघातिनो युधिष्ठिरस्यांशमभीप्सितं स्वकम् । नयामि वः स्वाश्वपदातिकुञ्जरान्दिशं पितॄणामशिवां शितैः शरैः॥५-६४-१४॥
If you do not grant to Yudhiṣṭhira, destroyer of enemies, his rightful and desired share, then with sharp arrows I will drive your horses, infantry, and elephants toward the inauspicious realm of the ancestors—that is, to death.
english translation
ततोऽहमामन्त्र्य चतुर्भुजं हरिं धनंजयं चैव नमस्य सत्वरः । जवेन संप्राप्त इहामरद्युते तवान्तिकं प्रापयितुं वचो महत्॥५-६४-१५॥
Then, having taken leave of four-armed Hari and having saluted Dhanañjaya, I came here swiftly, O radiant one, to deliver to you this weighty message.
