तं प्रयान्तमनुप्रायात्कुन्तीपुत्रो युधिष्ठिरः । भीमसेनार्जुनौ चोभौ माद्रीपुत्रौ च पाण्डवौ ॥
चेकितानश्च विक्रान्तो धृष्टकेतुश्च चेदिपः । द्रुपदः काशिराजश्च शिखण्डी च महारथः ॥
धृष्टद्युम्नः सपुत्रश्च विराटः केकयैः सह । संसाधनार्थं प्रययुः क्षत्रियाः क्षत्रियर्षभम् ॥
ततोऽनुव्रज्य गोविन्दं धर्मराजो युधिष्ठिरः । राज्ञां सकाशे द्युतिमानुवाचेदं वचस्तदा ॥
English Translation
And the just king Yudhishthira, endued with luster, having followed Govinda to some distance, said these words in the midst of those kings.
यो नैव कामान्न भयान्न लोभान्नार्थकारणात् । अन्यायमनुवर्तेत स्थिरबुद्धिरलोलुपः ॥
English Translation
He, who from desire or anger, fear or object of gaining his ends, never does an unjust act; and he who is of a calm intellect and not given to avarice,

Who knows what virtue is, who is wise and endued with intelligence, who is cognizant of the inner working of the hearts of all beings, who is the lord of all creatures and the eternal god of the gods.

English Translation
The son of Kunti embracing this being, endued with all the virtues and having the mark of the auspicious whirl on his person, began to address thus-
या सा बाल्यात्प्रभृत्यस्मान्पर्यवर्धयताबला । उपवासतपःशीला सदा स्वस्त्ययने रता ॥
देवतातिथिपूजासु गुरुशुश्रूषणे रता । वत्सला प्रियपुत्रा च प्रियास्माकं जनार्दन ॥
सुयोधनभयाद्या नोऽत्रायतामित्रकर्शन । महतो मृत्युसंबाधादुत्तरन्नौरिवार्णवात् ॥
अस्मत्कृते च सततं यया दुःखानि माधव । अनुभूतान्यदुःखार्हा तां स्म पृच्छेरनामयम् ॥
भृशमाश्वासयेश्चैनां पुत्रशोकपरिप्लुताम् । अभिवाद्य स्वजेथाश्च पाण्डवान्परिकीर्तयन् ॥
English Translation
Having saluted her first, embrace this lady and comfort her, who is filled with grief for her sons by talking again and again of the Pandavas.

Ever since her wedding has she, O chastiser of foes, encountered troubles and grief's due to her father-in-law, though she has not deserved these.

Will there ever come a time, O Krishna, when at the end of all my troubles, I shall give my troubled mother happiness, O chastiser of foes.
प्रव्रजन्तोऽन्वधावत्सा कृपणा पुत्रगृद्धिनी । रुदतीमपहायैनामुपगच्छाम यद्वनम् ॥

When we were about to go into exile, she followed us in distress out of fondness for her children crying aloud; but we went to the forest leaving her behind.
न नूनं म्रियते दुःखैः सा चेज्जीवति केशव । तथा पुत्राधिभिर्गाढमार्ता ह्यानर्तसत्कृता ॥
English Translation
One does not necessarily die of grief and if she is alive, O Keshava, hospitably entertained by the Anartas through in extreme distress on account of her sons and others.
अभिवाद्या तु सा कृष्ण त्वया मद्वचनाद्विभो । धृतराष्ट्रश्च कौरव्यो राजानश्च वयोऽधिकाः ॥
भीष्मं द्रोणं कृपं चैव महाराजं च बाह्लिकम् । द्रौणिं च सोमदत्तं च सर्वांश्च भरतान्पृथक् ॥
विदुरं च महाप्राज्ञं कुरूणां मन्त्रधारिणम् । अगाधबुद्धिं धर्मज्ञं स्वजेथा मधुसूदन ॥
इत्युक्त्वा केशवं तत्र राजमध्ये युधिष्ठिरः । अनुज्ञातो निववृते कृष्णं कृत्वा प्रदक्षिणम् ॥

O Lord, O Govinda, it is know among all the kings that it has already been decided in our consultation to demand the return of one half of the kingdom.
तच्चेद्दद्यादसङ्गेन सत्कृत्यानवमन्य च । प्रियं मे स्यान्महाबाहो मुच्येरन्महतो भयात् ॥
English Translation
And if they give us that for the sake of honesty without insult to us and with due respect to yourself, then, O you with long arms, they should do what is desired by me and themselves escape a great evil.
