यत्त्वं दित्ससि कृष्णाय राजन्नतिथये बहु । एतदन्यच्च दाशार्हः पृथिवीमपि चार्हति॥५-८५-६॥
O king, whatever abundant gifts you intend to give Kṛṣṇa as a guest—Dāśārha is worthy of that and of more; indeed, he is worthy even of the earth itself, of sovereignty.
english translation
न तु त्वं धर्ममुद्दिश्य तस्य वा प्रियकारणात् । एतदिच्छसि कृष्णाय सत्येनात्मानमालभे॥५-८५-७॥
But you do not desire this for Kṛṣṇa with dharma in view, nor out of regard for what is pleasing to him. I speak this truth plainly, staking my own integrity upon it.
english translation
मायैषातत्त्वमेवैतच्छद्मैतद्भूरिदक्षिण । जानामि ते मतं राजन्गूढं बाह्येन कर्मणा॥५-८५-८॥
This is deception; in truth it is mere disguise, O you skilled in elaborate stratagems. O king, I know your intention, concealed beneath outward conduct.
english translation
पञ्च पञ्चैव लिप्सन्ति ग्रामकान्पाण्डवा नृप । न च दित्ससि तेभ्यस्तांस्तच्छमं कः करिष्यति॥५-८५-९॥
O king, the Pāṇḍavas seek only five villages each; yet you do not wish to grant even those—who, then, will bring about pacification?
english translation
अर्थेन तु महाबाहुं वार्ष्णेयं त्वं जिहीर्षसि । अनेनैवाभ्युपायेन पाण्डवेभ्यो बिभित्ससि॥५-८५-१०॥
Rather, by means of wealth you seek to sway the mighty-armed Vārṣṇeya (Kṛṣṇa); by this very stratagem you also aim to create fear among the Pāṇḍavas.
