नन्वहं कृष्ण भीष्मस्य धृतराष्ट्रस्य चोभयोः । स्नुषा भवामि धर्मेण साहं दासीकृताभवम् ॥
English Translation
I am, morally speaking, O Krishna, the daughter-in-law of both Bhishma and Dhritarashtra; and yet I, who am such, was made a slave by force.
धिग्बलं भीमसेनस्य धिक्पार्थस्य धनुष्मताम् । यत्र दुर्योधनः कृष्ण मुहूर्तमपि जीवति ॥
English Translation
Shame to the skill in archery of the son of Pritha and shame to the strength of Bhimasena! that Duryodhana, O Krishna, should be alive for one single moment.
यदि तेऽहमनुग्राह्या यदि तेऽस्ति कृपा मयि । धार्तराष्ट्रेषु वै कोपः सर्वः कृष्ण विधीयताम् ॥
English Translation
If I ain fit to be favored by you, if there is mercy in you for me; then direct all your wrath on the sons of Dhritarashtra.
इत्युक्त्वा मृदुसंहारं वृजिनाग्रं सुदर्शनम् । सुनीलमसितापाङ्गी पुण्यगन्धाधिवासितम् ॥
सर्वलक्षणसंपन्नं महाभुजगवर्चसम् । केशपक्षं वरारोहा गृह्य सव्येन पाणिना ॥
पद्माक्षी पुण्डरीकाक्षमुपेत्य गजगामिनी । अश्रुपूर्णेक्षणा कृष्णा कृष्णं वचनमब्रवीत् ॥
अयं ते पुण्डरीकाक्ष दुःशासनकरोद्धृतः । स्मर्तव्यः सर्वकालेषु परेषां संधिमिच्छता ॥
English Translation
O you with lotus-like eyes, desirous of peace with the enemy, you should remember in all your acts that these (tresses) were seized by the hands of Dushasana.
यदि भीमार्जुनौ कृष्ण कृपणौ संधिकामुकौ । पिता मे योत्स्यते वृद्धः सह पुत्रैर्महारथैः ॥
English Translation
If Bhima and Arjuna, O Krishna, are so mean as to desire peace, then my old father will fight along with his sons who are great car-warriors.
पञ्च चैव महावीर्याः पुत्रा मे मधुसूदन । अभिमन्युं पुरस्कृत्य योत्स्यन्ति कुरुभिः सह ॥
English Translation
And my five sons, too, O slayer of Madhu, of great heroism, having placed Abhimanyu in the front will fight the Kurus.
दुःशासनभुजं श्यामं संछिन्नं पांसुगुण्ठितम् । यद्यहं तं न पश्यामि का शान्तिर्हृदयस्य मे ॥
English Translation
If I do not see the dark-coloured hand of Dushasana torn off from his body and reduced to powder, then what peace shall there be in my heart?
त्रयोदश हि वर्षाणि प्रतीक्षन्त्या गतानि मे । निधाय हृदये मन्युं प्रदीप्तमिव पावकम् ॥
English Translation
Thirteen years have elapsed, during which I was waiting, entertaining in my heart feelings of revenge which were like blazing fire.
विदीर्यते मे हृदयं भीमवाक्शल्यपीडितम् । योऽयमद्य महाबाहुर्धर्मं समनुपश्यति ॥
English Translation
My heart, O Bhima, is rent asunder, pierced by darts of sharp words, as it were, at the thought that the long-armed one (Bhima) has an eye on morality.
इत्युक्त्वा बाष्पसन्नेन कण्ठेनायतलोचना । रुरोद कृष्णा सोत्कम्पं सस्वरं बाष्पगद्गदम् ॥
English Translation
Saying this with voice choked with tears, Krishna of distended eyes began to weep aloud in convulsive sobs and with her eyes full of tears.
स्तनौ पीनायतश्रोणी सहितावभिवर्षती । द्रवीभूतमिवात्युष्णमुत्सृजद्वारि नेत्रजम् ॥
English Translation
And the lady with beautiful hips began to shower from her eyes extremely hot tears, which flowed down her round bosom.
तामुवाच महाबाहुः केशवः परिसान्त्वयन् । अचिराद्द्रक्ष्यसे कृष्णे रुदतीर्भरतस्त्रियः ॥
English Translation
Keshava with long arms then spoke these words with a view to comfort her, before long will you see, O Krishna, the ladies of Bharata's household weeping.
एवं ता भीरु रोत्स्यन्ति निहतज्ञातिबान्धवाः । हतमित्रा हतबला येषां क्रुद्धासि भामिनि ॥
English Translation
O timid one, they will weep as you now do, having their kinsmen and friends killed. Alrcady, O lady, are those with whom you are angry deprived of their friends and of their strength.
अहं च तत्करिष्यामि भीमार्जुनयमैः सह । युधिष्ठिरनियोगेन दैवाच्च विधिनिर्मितात् ॥
English Translation
I shall accomplish this with Bhima, Arjuna and the twins, supported by Yudhishthira, through the ordainment of the gods.
धार्तराष्ट्राः कालपक्वा न चेच्छृण्वन्ति मे वचः । शेष्यन्ते निहता भूमौ श्वशृगालादनीकृताः ॥
English Translation
If the sons of Dhritarashtra, whose time is now arrived, do not hear my advice; then they will sleep dead on the bare earth and be food for dogs and jackals.
चलेद्धि हिमवाञ्शैलो मेदिनी शतधा भवेत् । द्यौः पतेच्च सनक्षत्रा न मे मोघं वचो भवेत् ॥
English Translation
The Himavat mountains could move; the earth could be split up into a hundred pieces; and the heavenly regions with stars might fall; but my words would not be vain.
सत्यं ते प्रतिजानामि कृष्णे बाष्पो निगृह्यताम् । हतामित्राञ्श्रिया युक्तानचिराद्द्रक्ष्यसे पतीन् ॥
English Translation
I tell you truly, O Krishna, stop your tears. You will ever (in future) see your husbands endued with prosperity and with all their enemies killed.
