अस्मत परमुखैर वि शिखैर जितारिस; ततॊ महीं भॊक्ष्यति धर्मराजः निर धार्तराष्ट्रां हतसूतपुत्राम; एतद धि नः कृत्यतमं यशश्यम ॥ ३-१२०-२१ ॥

'Afterwards, the virtuous king shall rule the earth, with all his foes vanquished by our arrows in battle. No sons of Dhritarashtra will remain, nor the son of the charioteer, Karna. This is our foremost duty, and it will surely bring us lasting fame.' ॥ 3-120-21 ॥

english translation

[वासु] असंशयं माधव सत्यम एतद; गृह्णीम ते वाक्यम अदीनसत्त्व सवाभ्यां भुजाभ्याम अजितां तु भूमिं; नेच्छेत कुरूणाम ऋषभः कथं चित ॥ ३-१२०-२२ ॥

'Krishna said, 'O descendant of the Madhus! Without a doubt, your words are true, and we accept them, for your courage is unwavering. Yet this noble Kuru, Yudhishthira, would never accept sovereignty over the earth unless it were won by the strength of his own arms.'' ॥ 3-120-22 ॥

english translation

न हय एष कामान न भयान न लॊभाद; युधिष्ठिरॊ जातु जह्यात सवधर्मम भीमार्जुनौ चाति रथौ यमौ वा; तथैव कृष्णा दरुपदात्म जेयम ॥ ३-१२०-२३ ॥

'Yudhishthira would never abandon the principles of his duty for the sake of pleasure, fear, or greed. Neither would the mighty heroes Bhima and Arjuna, when mounted on their chariots, nor the twin brothers, nor Krishna, the son of Drupada.' ॥ 3-120-23 ॥

english translation

उभौ हि युद्धे ऽपरतिमौ पृथिव्यां; वृकॊदरश चैव धनंजयश च कस्मान न कृत्स्नां पृथिवीं परशासेन; माद्री सुताभ्यांच पुरस्कृतॊ ऽयम ॥ ३-१२०-२४ ॥

'Bhima, with the appetite of a wolf, and Arjuna, the conqueror of riches, are unmatched in battle throughout the world. Why should this king not rule over the entire earth, especially with the support of the two sons of Madri?' ॥ 3-120-24 ॥

english translation

यदा तु पाञ्चाल पतिर महात्मा; स केकयश चेदिपतिर वयं च यॊत्स्याम विक्रम्य परांस तदा वै; सुयॊधनस तयक्ष्यति जीवलॊकम ॥ ३-१२०-२५ ॥

'The noble ruler of Panchala, alongside the Kekaya king, along with us, should combine our strength; then, the enemies of Yudhishthira would surely be annihilated.' ॥ 3-120-25 ॥
