शूराश्च हि कृतास्त्राश्च सर्वे युद्धाभिकाङ्क्षिणः । पाण्डवास्तावकाश्चैव तान्रक्ष महतो भयात् ॥
English Translation
They are heroes who have mastered the use of weapons and all of them are desirous of war-these sons of Pandu and of yourself; save them from a great calamity,
न पश्येम कुरून्सर्वान्पाण्डवांश्चैव संयुगे । क्षीणानुभयतः शूरान्रथेभ्यो रथिभिर्हतान् ॥
English Translation
You will not see all the Kurus, nor all the Pandavas, in the event of a battle, the heroes on both sides being weakened in number and in strength and car-warriors slain by car-warriors.

English Translation

त्राहि राजन्निमं लोकं न नश्येयुरिमाः प्रजाः । त्वयि प्रकृतिमापन्ने शेषं स्यात्कुरुनन्दन ॥
English Translation
Rescue, O king, the world; do not destroy these creatures; yourself regaining your natural disposition all this will end, O delighted of the Kuru race.

सुवाससः स्रग्विणश्च सत्कृत्य भरतर्षभ । अमर्षांश्च निराकृत्य वैराणि च परंतप ॥

हार्दं यत्पाण्डवेष्वासीत्प्राप्तेऽस्मिन्नायुषः क्षये । तदेव ते भवत्वद्य शश्वच्च भरतर्षभ ॥

Let the feelings of affection that you had for the Pandavas, return to you at the expiration of this age; and let them be the same to you; act it this way, O best of the Bharata race.
बाला विहीनाः पित्रा ते त्वयैव परिवर्धिताः । तान्पालय यथान्यायं पुत्रांश्च भरतर्षभ ॥
English Translation
As boys they lost their father and were raced and brought up by you; protect them in a way that would be in accordance with justice as you would do your sons, O best of the Bharata race.
भवतैव हि रक्ष्यास्ते व्यसनेषु विशेषतः । मा ते धर्मस्तथैवार्थो नश्येत भरतर्षभ ॥

By you they ought to be protected and especially when in distress. Let not your sense of virtue and appreciation of worldly good be lost, O best of the Bharata race.

The Pandavas, O king, having saluted and propitiated you, have sent you this message. 'At your command have we with our followers suffered misery.
द्वादशेमानि वर्षाणि वने निर्व्युषितानि नः । त्रयोदशं तथाज्ञातैः सजने परिवत्सरम् ॥
English Translation
These twelve years have been spent by us in exile in the forest and the thirteenth year have we spent in each other's company in disguise.
स्थाता नः समये तस्मिन्पितेति कृतनिश्चयाः । नाहास्म समयं तात तच्च नो ब्राह्मणा विदुः ॥
English Translation
Truly believing that our father would not break that pledge of his towards us, did we not break, O sire, our own. The Brahmanas who accompanied us know this.
तस्मिन्नः समये तिष्ठ स्थितानां भरतर्षभ । नित्यं संक्लेशिता राजन्स्वराज्यांशं लभेमहि ॥
English Translation
Therefore do you abide by your pledge, as we have done ours, O best of the Bharata race; having long suffered grave troubles, O king, we desire to get the share of our own kingdom.

English Translation

आहुश्चेमां परिषदं पुत्रास्ते भरतर्षभ । धर्मज्ञेषु सभासत्सु नेह युक्तमसांप्रतम् ॥
यत्र धर्मो ह्यधर्मेण सत्यं यत्रानृतेन च । हन्यते प्रेक्षमाणानां हतास्तत्र सभासदः ॥
विद्धो धर्मो ह्यधर्मेण सभां यत्र प्रपद्यते । न चास्य शल्यं कृन्तन्ति विद्धास्तत्र सभासदः । धर्म एतानारुजति यथा नद्यनुकूलजान् ॥
English Translation
If this happens with the knowledge of the members thereof, they are themselves slain; when virtue, pierced by vice, makes an appeal to an assembly and the shaft (of vice) is not taken out, the members thereof are themselves pierced by it. In fact virtue kills them like a river destroying the trees growing upon its banks.
ये धर्ममनुपश्यन्तस्तूष्णीं ध्यायन्त आसते । ते सत्यमाहुर्धर्मं च न्याय्यं च भरतर्षभ ॥
English Translation
Those, who are adopting a calm attitude and are silently waiting for virtue to assert itself, have said what is righteous, true and just, 0 best of the Bharata race.
शक्यं किमन्यद्वक्तुं ते दानादन्यज्जनेश्वर । ब्रुवन्तु वा महीपालाः सभायां ये समासते । धर्मार्थौ संप्रधार्यैव यदि सत्यं ब्रवीम्यहम् ॥
English Translation
What else are you capable of saying to them than giving back their kingdom? Let the protectors of the earth who are assembled in this council, speak.
प्रमुञ्चेमान्मृत्युपाशात्क्षत्रियान्क्षत्रियर्षभ । प्रशाम्य भरतश्रेष्ठ मा मन्युवशमन्वगाः ॥
पित्र्यं तेभ्यः प्रदायांशं पाण्डवेभ्यो यथोचितम् । ततः सपुत्रः सिद्धार्थो भुङ्क्ष्व भोगान्परंतप ॥
English Translation
Be peaceful, O you foremost of the Bharata race and do not give in to anger. Having given back to those Pandavas, their due shares of the ancestral kingdom.
अजातशत्रुं जानीषे स्थितं धर्मे सतां सदा । सपुत्रे त्वयि वृत्तिं च वर्तते यां नराधिप ॥
दाहितश्च निरस्तश्च त्वामेवोपाश्रितः पुनः । इन्द्रप्रस्थं त्वयैवासौ सपुत्रेण विवासितः ॥
स तत्र निवसन्सर्वान्वशमानीय पार्थिवान् । त्वन्मुखानकरोद्राजन्न च त्वामत्यवर्तत ॥
तस्यैवं वर्तमानस्य सौबलेन जिहीर्षता । राष्ट्राणि धनधान्यं च प्रयुक्तः परमोपधिः ॥
स तामवस्थां संप्राप्य कृष्णां प्रेक्ष्य सभागताम् । क्षत्रधर्मादमेयात्मा नाकम्पत युधिष्ठिरः ॥
English Translation
Of his kingdom, wealth and coin by means of a great deceit. He, even when he was brought to that condition, namely when Krishna was dragged to the Assembly-Hall.
अहं तु तव तेषां च श्रेय इच्छामि भारत । धर्मादर्थात्सुखाच्चैव मा राजन्नीनशः प्रजाः ॥
