BORI CE: 03-035-001 युधिष्ठिर उवाच |
MN DUTT: 02-034-002 युधिष्ठिर उवाच असंशयं भारत सत्यमेतद् यन्मां तुदन् वाक्यशल्यैः क्षिणोषि |
M. N. Dutt: Yudhishthira said: O descendant of Bharata, no doubt all this is true. I cannot reproach you for giving me pain by piercing me with your arrow words. From my folly alone this great calamity has overtaken you all. |
|
BORI CE: 03-035-002 अहं ह्यक्षानन्वपद्यं जिहीर्ष;न्राज्यं सराष्ट्रं धृतराष्ट्रस्य पुत्रात् |
MN DUTT: 02-034-003 अहं ह्यक्षानन्वपद्यं जिहीर्षन् राज्यं सराष्ट्रधृतराष्ट्रस्य पुत्रात् |
M. N. Dutt: I was engaged to play at dice with the desire of snatching from Dhritarashtra's son his kingdom with its sovereignty. It was thus that the cunning gambler, the son of Subala (Shakuni), played with me on behalf of Suyodhana (Duryodhana). |
|
BORI CE: 03-035-003 महामायः शकुनिः पार्वतीयः; सदा सभायां प्रवपन्नक्षपूगान् |
MN DUTT: 02-034-004 महामायः शकुनिः पर्वतीयः सभामध्ये प्रवपन्नक्षपूगान् |
M. N. Dutt: Bhimasena, that dweller of the mountainous country, Shakuni, is exceedingly artful. Plying at dice in the midst of the assembly-unacquainted as I am with the artifices of any kind, he defeated me by adopting all possible artful means. It is therefore we have been overwhelmed with this c:lamity. |
|
BORI CE: 03-035-004 अक्षान्हि दृष्ट्वा शकुनेर्यथाव;त्कामानुलोमानयुजो युजश्च |
MN DUTT: 02-034-005 अक्षांश्च दृष्ट्वा शकुनेर्यथावत् कामानुकूलानयुजो युजश्च |
M. N. Dutt: Seeing the dice obedient to the wishes of Shakuni in Ayuja and Yuja (odds and evens), I could have controlled my mind, but anger (you know) drives off a person's patience. |
|
BORI CE: 03-035-005 यन्तुं नात्मा शक्यते पौरुषेण; मानेन वीर्येण च तात नद्धः |
MN DUTT: 02-034-006 यन्तुं नात्मा शक्यते पौरुषेण मानेन वीर्येण च तात नद्धः |
M. N. Dutt: O child, the mind cannot be controlled when it is influenced by manliness, pride and prowess. O Bhimasena, I do not reproach you for what you have said. I consider that what have happened was preordained. |
|
BORI CE: 03-035-006 स नो राजा धृतराष्ट्रस्य पुत्रो; न्यपातयद्व्यसने राज्यमिच्छन् |
MN DUTT: 02-034-007 स नो राजाधृतराष्ट्रस्य पुत्रो न्यपातयद् व्यसने राज्यमिच्छन् |
M. N. Dutt: O Bhimasena, when the king (Duryodhana) the son of Dhritarashtra, wishing to get possession of our kingdom, plunged us into misery and even slavery, it was Draupadi who rescued us. |
|
BORI CE: 03-035-007 त्वं चापि तद्वेत्थ धनंजयश्च; पुनर्द्यूतायागतानां सभां नः |
MN DUTT: 02-034-008 त्वं चापि तद् वेत्थधनंजयश्च पुन तायागतानां सभां नः |
M. N. Dutt: When summoned again to the Sabha for playing once more, you as well as Arjuna know what the son of Dhritarashtra told me in the presence of the Bharatas. |
|
BORI CE: 03-035-008 वने समा द्वादश राजपुत्र; यथाकामं विदितमजातशत्रो |
MN DUTT: 02-034-009 वने समा द्वादश राजपुत्र यथाकामं विदितमजातशत्रो |
M. N. Dutt: (He said), "O prince Ajatashatru, you shall have to live for twelve years with all your brothers (if defeated in the play) in the forest which you will chose to dwell in, but which must be known to all men; you shall have to spend the thirteenth year in disguise without your whereabouts being known to anybody. |
|
BORI CE: 03-035-009 त्वां चेच्छ्रुत्वा तात तथा चरन्त;मवभोत्स्यन्ते भारतानां चराः स्म |
MN DUTT: 02-034-010 मवभोत्स्यन्ते भरतानां चराश्च |
M. N. Dutt: O sire, O son of Pritha, (if during that period) spies of the Bharatas, hearing of you, become successful in discovering you, you shall then have again to live in the forest for the same period passing once more the last year in secrecy. Reflecting on this, pledge yourself to it. |
|
BORI CE: 03-035-010 चरैश्चेन्नोऽविदितः कालमेतं; युक्तो राजन्मोहयित्वा मदीयान् |
MN DUTT: 02-034-011 चरेश्चेन्नोऽविदितः कालमेतं युक्तो राजन् मोहयित्वा मदीयान् |
M. N. Dutt: O king, as regards myself, I pledge myself in this assembly of the Kurus, if you can pass this period of time evading the vigilance of my spies and if you can remain undiscovered by them, then O descendant of Bharata, this kingdom of the five rivers will be once more yours. |
|
BORI CE: 03-035-011 वयं चैवं भ्रातरः सर्व एव; त्वया जिताः कालमपास्य भोगान् |
MN DUTT: 02-034-012 वयं चैतद् भारत सर्व एव त्वया जिताः कालमपास्य भोगान् |
M. N. Dutt: O descendant of Bharata, we also, if defeated by you at play, shall all of us, abandoning all our wealth, pass other same period according to the same rules." Thus said that king in the midst of the Kurus; and I said "So Be it." |
|
BORI CE: 03-035-012 तत्र द्यूतमभवन्नो जघन्यं; तस्मिञ्जिताः प्रव्रजिताश्च सर्वे |
MN DUTT: 02-034-013 तत्र द्यूतमभवन्नो जघन्यं तस्मिञ्जिताः प्रव्रजिताश्च सर्वे |
M. N. Dutt: The hateful play then began. We were defeated and we were all exiled. We are thus wandering miserably over difficult forests full of discomforts. |
|
BORI CE: 03-035-013 सुयोधनश्चापि न शान्तिमिच्छ;न्भूयः स मन्योर्वशमन्वगच्छत् |
MN DUTT: 02-034-014 सुयोधनश्चापि न शान्तिमिच्छन् भूयः स मन्योर्वशमन्वगच्छत् |
M. N. Dutt: Suyodhana (Duryodhana), however, having been not satisfied (with what he had done), gave himself up to anger and urged the Kurus and all those who were under his away to express their joy at our distress. |
|
BORI CE: 03-035-014 तं संधिमास्थाय सतां सकाशे; को नाम जह्यादिह राज्यहेतोः |
MN DUTT: 02-034-015 को नाम जह्यादिह राज्यहेतोः |
M. N. Dutt: Having entered into such a pledge in the presence of all the pious and good men, who can now dare break it for the sake of a kingdom in this world? For in my opinion, to a respectable person death is not more serious than an act of transgression in order to gain a kingdom. |
|
BORI CE: 03-035-015 तदैव चेद्वीरकर्माकरिष्यो; यदा द्यूते परिघं पर्यमृक्षः |
MN DUTT: 02-034-016 तदैव चेद् वीर कर्माकरिष्यो यदा द्यूते परिघं पर्यमृक्षः |
M. N. Dutt: O hero, you desired to burn my hand at the time of the play; you were, however, prevented by Arjuna and you only squeezed your mace. O Bhima, if you had done it, this calamity could not then befall us. |
|
BORI CE: 03-035-016 प्रागेव चैवं समयक्रियायाः; किं नाब्रवीः पौरुषमाविदानः |
MN DUTT: 02-034-017 प्रागेव चैवं समयक्रियायाः किं नाब्रवीः पौरुषमाविदानाः |
M. N. Dutt: O Bhima, conscious as you are of your prowess, why did you not say so before we entered into such an agreement? Having already burdened myself with the pledge made at that time what is the use of your speaking to me these harsh words (now)? |
|
BORI CE: 03-035-017 भूयोऽपि दुःखं मम भीमसेन; दूये विषस्येव रसं विदित्वा |
MN DUTT: 02-034-018 भूयोऽपि दुःखं मम भीमसेन दूये विषस्येव रसं हि पीत्वा |
M. N. Dutt: O Bhimasena, this was my great grief that I could not do anything when I saw Yajnaseni (Draupadi) persecuted in that way. O Bhima, my heart burns on account of this, as if I have drunk some poisonous liquid. |
|
BORI CE: 03-035-018 न त्वद्य शक्यं भरतप्रवीर; कृत्वा यदुक्तं कुरुवीरमध्ये |
MN DUTT: 02-034-019 न त्वद्य शक्यं भरतप्रवीर कृत्वा यदुक्तं कुरुवीरमध्ये |
M. N. Dutt: O foremost of the Bharata race, having made the pledge in the presence of the Kurus there, I am unable (now) to violate it. Wait for the return of our better days, as scatterers of seed wait for the harvest. |
|
BORI CE: 03-035-019 यदा हि पूर्वं निकृतो निकृत्या; वैरं सपुष्पं सफलं विदित्वा BORI CE: 03-035-020 श्रियं च लोके लभते समग्रां; मन्ये चास्मै शत्रवः संनमन्ते |
MN DUTT: 02-034-020 यदा हि पूर्वं निकृतो निकृन्तेद् वैरं सपुष्पं सफलं विदित्वा |
M. N. Dutt: When one that has been first injured succeeds in revenging himself upon his enemy at a time when the latter's enmity has borne fruits and flowers, he is regarded as one who has accomplished a great deed by his prowess. Such a brave man earns undying fame. Such a man obtains great prosperity. His enemies bow down to him and his friends gather round him, as the celestials cluster round Indra for protection. |
|
BORI CE: 03-035-021 मम प्रतिज्ञां च निबोध सत्यां; वृणे धर्मममृताज्जीविताच्च |
MN DUTT: 02-034-021 मम प्रतिज्ञां च निबोध सत्यां वृणेधर्मममृताज्जीविताच्च |
M. N. Dutt: Know my promise cannot be made false. I regard Dharma as superior to life itself and divinity. Kingdoms, sons, fame and wealth all these do not come up even to a sixteenth part of truth. |
