अन्तेषु रेमिरे धीरा न ते मध्येषु रेमिरे । अन्तप्राप्तिं सुखामाहुर्दुःखमन्तरमन्तयोः॥५-८८-९६॥

The steadfast take satisfaction in the ‘ends’ and do not take satisfaction in the ‘middles’. They call the attainment of the end happiness; the interval between the ends is described as suffering.

english translation

अभिवादयन्ति भवतीं पाण्डवाः सह कृष्णया । आत्मानं च कुशलिनं निवेद्याहुरनामयम्॥५-८८-९७॥

The Pāṇḍavas, together with Kṛṣṇā (Draupadī), pay their respects to you; and, reporting their own well-being, they state that they are free from illness.

english translation

अरोगान्सर्वसिद्धार्थान्क्षिप्रं द्रक्ष्यसि पाण्डवान् । ईश्वरान्सर्वलोकस्य हतामित्राञ्श्रिया वृतान्॥५-८८-९८॥

Soon you will see the Pāṇḍavas free from illness, all their aims fulfilled—sovereigns over the whole world, their foes subdued, and encompassed by prosperity.

english translation

एवमाश्वासिता कुन्ती प्रत्युवाच जनार्दनम् । पुत्राधिभिरभिध्वस्ता निगृह्याबुद्धिजं तमः॥५-८८-९९॥

Thus reassured, Kuntī replied to Janārdana; though distressed by anxiety for her sons, she restrained the darkness born of confusion.

english translation

यद्यत्तेषां महाबाहो पथ्यं स्यान्मधुसूदन । यथा यथा त्वं मन्येथाः कुर्याः कृष्ण तथा तथा॥५-८८-१००॥

Whatever you deem beneficial for them, O mighty-armed Madhusūdana—whatever you judge fitting, O Kṛṣṇa—do exactly so.
