धृतराष्ट्र उवाच । चक्षुष्मतां वै स्पृहयामि संजय द्रक्ष्यन्ति ये वासुदेवं समीपे । विभ्राजमानं वपुषा परेण प्रकाशयन्तं प्रदिशो दिशश्च॥५-६९-१॥
Dhṛtarāṣṭra said: I envy those who have sight, Sañjaya—those who will see Vāsudeva nearby, radiant with a transcendent form, illuminating the quarters and all directions.
english translation
ईरयन्तं भारतीं भारतानामभ्यर्चनीयां शंकरीं सृञ्जयानाम् । बुभूषद्भिर्ग्रहणीयामनिन्द्यां परासूनामग्रहणीयरूपाम्॥५-६९-२॥
I take refuge in Him who sets in motion the sacred speech of the Bhāratas—worthy of reverent worship, beneficent to the Sṛñjayas—praiseworthy and blameless for those who seek well-being, yet of a form not to be grasped by those whose vital force has departed.
english translation
समुद्यन्तं सात्वतमेकवीरं प्रणेतारमृषभं यादवानाम् । निहन्तारं क्षोभणं शात्रवाणां मुष्णन्तं च द्विषतां वै यशांसि॥५-६९-३॥
I take refuge in the eminent Sātvata hero who rises to action—the guide and foremost of the Yādavas—who neutralizes hostile forces, unsettles adversarial designs, and diminishes the renown of those who act in enmity.
english translation
द्रष्टारो हि कुरवस्तं समेता महात्मानं शत्रुहणं वरेण्यम् । ब्रुवन्तं वाचमनृशंसरूपां वृष्णिश्रेष्ठं मोहयन्तं मदीयान्॥५-६९-४॥
The Kurus, assembled, will behold that great-souled and eminent adversary-subduer—the foremost of the Vṛṣṇis—speaking words shaped by non-cruelty, yet confounding those aligned with my side.
english translation
ऋषिं सनातनतमं विपश्चितं वाचः समुद्रं कलशं यतीनाम् । अरिष्टनेमिं गरुडं सुपर्णं पतिं प्रजानां भुवनस्य धाम॥५-६९-५॥
I take refuge in the most ancient seer, the discerning one—an ocean of speech, a vessel for ascetics; Ariṣṭanemi, Garuḍa, Suparṇa; the lord of beings, the abode of the world.
