सुमहच्चापि तत्कर्म यन्नरेण कृतं पुरा । ततो गुणैः सुबहुभिः श्रेष्ठो नारायणोऽभवत्॥५-९४-३६॥

That deed formerly performed by Nara was indeed exceedingly great; and by many excellent qualities, Nārāyaṇa became pre-eminent.

english translation

तस्माद्यावद्धनुःश्रेष्ठे गाण्डीवेऽस्त्रं न युज्यते । तावत्त्वं मानमुत्सृज्य गच्छ राजन्धनंजयम्॥५-९४-३७॥

Therefore, so long as a weapon is not yet set upon the best of bows, the Gāṇḍīva, abandon pride and go, O king, to Dhanañjaya (Arjuna).

english translation

काकुदीकं शुकं नाकमक्षिसंतर्जनं तथा । संतानं नर्तनं घोरमास्यमोदकमष्टमम्॥५-९४-३८॥

“(There are) kākudīka, śuka, nāka, and also akṣi-saṃtarjana; likewise saṃtāna, nartana, the dreadful (affliction), and āsyamodaka as the eighth.”

english translation

एतैर्विद्धाः सर्व एव मरणं यान्ति मानवाः । उन्मत्ताश्च विचेष्टन्ते नष्टसंज्ञा विचेतसः॥५-९४-३९॥

“Afflicted by these, all human beings proceed to death; and, as if deranged, they move about erratically—bereft of awareness and clarity of mind.”

english translation

स्वपन्ते च प्लवन्ते च छर्दयन्ति च मानवाः । मूत्रयन्ते च सततं रुदन्ति च हसन्ति च॥५-९४-४०॥

“Human beings so afflicted sleep and leap about; they vomit; they urinate continually; and they alternately weep and laugh.”
