आचक्ष्व मेऽद्य संग्रामं यथापूर्वमरिंदम । कस्मादेव विलपतीं नाद्येह प्रतिभाषसे ॥
English Translation
Do you tell me the incidents of battle today as before, O chastiser of enemies. Oh, why do you not answer me today, me who am weeping so bitterly?
एवमादि तु वार्ष्णेय्यास्तदस्याः परिदेवितम् । श्रुत्वा पृथा सुदुःखार्ता शनैर्वाक्यमथाब्रवीत् ॥
English Translation
Hearing these lamentations of this daughter of the Vrishni-race, Pritha, deeply stricken with grief, addressed her and slowly said, O Subhadra, though protected by Vasudeva and Satyaki and by his own father, your youthful son has yet been killed. That slaughter is due to the influence of Time.
सुभद्रे वासुदेवेन तथा सात्यकिना रणे । पित्रा च पालितो बालः स हतः कालधर्मणा ॥
ईदृशो मर्त्यधर्मोऽयं मा शुचो यदुनन्दिनि । पुत्रो हि तव दुर्धर्षः संप्राप्तः परमां गतिम् ॥
English Translation
O daughter of Yadu's race, mortal your son was. Do not grieve. Irresistible in battle, your son has, forsooth, attained to the highest end.
कुले महति जातासि क्षत्रियाणां महात्मनाम् । मा शुचश्चपलाक्षं त्वं पुण्डरीकनिभेक्षणे ॥
English Translation
You are born in a high family of great Kshatriyas. Do not grieve, O you of restless glances, O girl of eyes like lotus petals!
उत्तरां त्वमवेक्षस्व गर्भिणीं मा शुचः शुभे । पुत्रमेषा हि तस्याशु जनयिष्यति भामिनी ॥
English Translation
Do you cast your eyes on Uttara, who is quick with child. O blessed lady do not give way to grief. This auspicious girl will soon bring forth a son to that hero!
एवमाश्वासयित्वैनां कुन्ती यदुकुलोद्वह । विहाय शोकं दुर्धर्षं श्राद्धमस्य ह्यकल्पयत् ॥
समनुज्ञाप्य धर्मज्ञा राजानं भीममेव च । यमौ यमोपमौ चैव ददौ दानान्यनेकशः ॥
ततः प्रदाय बह्वीर्गा ब्राह्मणेभ्यो यदूद्वह । समहृष्यत वार्ष्णेयी वैराटीं चाब्रवीदिदम् ॥
वैराटि नेह संतापस्त्वया कार्यो यशस्विनि । भर्तारं प्रति सुश्रोणि गर्भस्थं रक्ष मे शिशुम् ॥
एवमुक्त्वा ततः कुन्ती विरराम महाद्युते । तामनुज्ञाप्य चैवेमां सुभद्रां समुपानयम् ॥
English Translation
Having said these words, O you of great splendour Kunti ceased. With her perinission I have brought Subhadra here.
एवं स निधनं प्राप्तो दौहित्रस्तव माधव । संतापं जहि दुर्धर्ष मा च शोके मनः कृथाः ॥
English Translation
It was thus, O giver of honours, that your daughter's son was killed. Cast off your burning grief, O irresistible one! Indeed, do not set your heart on sorrow. burning grief, O irresistible one! Indeed, do not set your heart on sorrow.
