वृद्धाः स्त्रियो याश्च गुणोपपन्ना; या ज्ञायन्ते संजय मातरस्ताः । ताभिः सर्वाभिः सहिताभिः समेत्य; स्त्रीभिर्वृद्धाभिरभिवादं वदेथाः ॥
English Translation
The aged ladies and those among them who being endued with good qualities are regarded by us, O Sanjaya, as our mothers,. should be greeted when they are all together.
कच्चित्पुत्रा जीवपुत्राः सुसम्य;ग्वर्तन्ते वो वृत्तिमनृशंसरूपाम् । इति स्मोक्त्वा संजय ब्रूहि पश्चा;दजातशत्रुः कुशली सपुत्रः ॥
English Translation
“O you with living sons, do your sons treat you properly" saying this, O Sanjaya, afterwards tell them that he who has created no enemies is doing well with his sons.
या नो भार्याः संजय वेत्थ तत्र; तासां सर्वासां कुशलं तात पृच्छेः । सुसंगुप्ताः सुरभयोऽनवद्याः; कच्चिद्गृहानावसथाप्रमत्ताः ॥
English Translation
Those who are like our wives, O Sanjaya, should all be asked regarding their health and address them thus-"Are your leading careful lives in your houses, well protected and with fragrant fame and unblamable conduct?
कच्चिद्वृत्तिं श्वशुरेषु भद्राः; कल्याणीं वर्तध्वमनृशंसरूपाम् । यथा च वः स्युः पतयोऽनुकूला;स्तथा वृत्तिमात्मनः स्थापयध्वम् ॥
English Translation
O gentle ladies, is your treatment towards your fathers-in-law gentle and considerate? You should secure for yourself such behaviour as will make your husbands kind towards you."
या नः स्नुषाः संजय वेत्थ तत्र; प्राप्ताः कुलेभ्यश्च गुणोपपन्नाः । प्रजावत्यो ब्रूहि समेत्य ताश्च; युधिष्ठिरो वोऽभ्यवदत्प्रसन्नः ॥

Going to those who are like our daughtersin-law, endued with good qualities who have been brought there from good families and with issues, tell them that Yudhishthira who is well disposed towards them sends his greetings.

English Translation
The daughters of your house, O Sanjaya, should be embraced by you and after asking them about their health on my behalf you should thus address them O blessed ones, may your husbands be favorably disposed towards you and may you be favorably disposed towards your husband.
अलंकृता वस्त्रवत्यः सुगन्धा; अबीभत्साः सुखिता भोगवत्यः । लघु यासां दर्शनं वाक्च लघ्वी; वेशस्त्रियः कुशलं तात पृच्छेः ॥

English Translation
The maid-servants and the male servants and the many hunch-backed and lame men who have been sheltered by them too should after being informed of my welfare be asked regarding their health and spoken to in these terms.

अन्धाश्च सर्वे स्थविरास्तथैव; हस्ताजीवा बहवो येऽत्र सन्ति । आख्याय मां कुशलिनं स्म तेषा;मनामयं परिपृच्छेर्जघन्यम् ॥
मा भैष्ट दुःखेन कुजीवितेन; नूनं कृतं परलोकेषु पापम् । निगृह्य शत्रून्सुहृदोऽनुगृह्य; वासोभिरन्नेन च वो भरिष्ये ॥
English Translation
Do not be sorry for this uncomfortable life; sins must surely have been committed by you in the life before; after destroying my enemies I shall support them with food and clothes and favour my friends.
सन्त्येव मे ब्राह्मणेभ्यः कृतानि; भावीन्यथो नो बत वर्तयन्ति । पश्याम्यहं युक्तरूपांस्तथैव; तामेव सिद्धिं श्रावयेथा नृपं तम् ॥
English Translation
Ask the king (Duryodhana) if the stipends made by me to Brahmanas are the same (as before); I shall see them properly rewarded and attain to their objects.
ये चानाथा दुर्बलाः सर्वकाल;मात्मन्येव प्रयतन्तेऽथ मूढाः । तांश्चापि त्वं कृपणान्सर्वथैव; अस्मद्वाक्यात्कुशलं तात पृच्छेः ॥
English Translation
And those weak persons who have no body to protect them and those that are vainly striving to earn bread for themselves and also those that are ignorant and imbecile should also be asked, regarding their health on my behalf.
ये चाप्यन्ये संश्रिता धार्तराष्ट्रा;न्नानादिग्भ्योऽभ्यागताः सूतपुत्र । दृष्ट्वा तांश्चैवार्हतश्चापि सर्वा;न्संपृच्छेथाः कुशलं चाव्ययं च ॥
English Translation
Those also, that have taken refuge with the sons of Dhritarashtra, coming from different directions, should be asked concerning their health.

English Translation
In the same way all the ambassadors, of the king (Dhritarashtra) who have come there from all directions, should first be asked about their health and afterwards they should be told that I am doing well.

English Translation
There is not in the world anything equal to the warriors that have been gained by the son of Dhritarashtra on his side. Virtue is even on my side and virtue is my great strength for the destruction of my enemies.
इदं पुनर्वचनं धार्तराष्ट्रं; सुयोधनं संजय श्रावयेथाः । यस्ते शरीरे हृदयं दुनोति; कामः कुरूनसपत्नोऽनुशिष्याम् ॥
English Translation
You should, O Sanjaya, make Suyodhana, the son of Dhritarashtra hear these words "The desire which is tormenting your heart, to rule the Kurus without any rival, has no justification for it.
