पितरं त्वेव गर्हेयं नात्मानं न सुयोधनम् । येनाहं कुन्तिभोजाय धनं धूर्तैरिवार्पिता॥५-८८-६१॥

I would censure my father alone—not myself, and not Suyodhana—for by his doing I was given to Kuntibhoja like property transferred by schemers.

english translation

बालां मामार्यकस्तुभ्यं क्रीडन्तीं कन्दुहस्तकाम् । अददात्कुन्तिभोजाय सखा सख्ये महात्मने॥५-८८-६२॥

While I was still a young girl, playing with a ball in my hand, Āryaka—your friend—gave me to Kuntibhoja, the great-souled, as an act of friendship.

english translation

साहं पित्रा च निकृता श्वशुरैश्च परंतप । अत्यन्तदुःखिता कृष्ण किं जीवितफलं मम॥५-८८-६३॥

Thus I was wronged by my father and also by my in-laws, O subduer of foes. Deeply afflicted, O Kṛṣṇa, what benefit is there in my continued life?

english translation

यन्मा वागब्रवीन्नक्तं सूतके सव्यसाचिनः । पुत्रस्ते पृथिवीं जेता यशश्चास्य दिवं स्पृशेत्॥५-८८-६४॥

When, at night, at the time of Savyasācin’s birth, a voice spoke to me: “Your son will conquer the earth, and his fame will reach the heavens.”

english translation

हत्वा कुरून्ग्रामजन्ये राज्यं प्राप्य धनंजयः । भ्रातृभिः सह कौन्तेयस्त्रीन्मेधानाहरिष्यति॥५-८८-६५॥

Having subdued the Kurus in a conflict arising from the struggle for sovereignty, Dhanañjaya will obtain the kingdom; and the son of Kuntī, together with his brothers, will perform three sacrifices (yajñas).
