इमे ह्यायान्ति संहृष्टाः पाण्डवा जितकाशिनः । अपयास्यामहे तावदनुजानातु नो भवान् ॥
English Translation
Hearing the noise made by the army of Yudhishthira, those great car-warriors, viz., Kritavarman, Kripa and the son of Drona, said to the Kuru king:-"Elated with joy and desiring for victory the Pandavas are coining here, you know. We will, therefore, leave this place."
दुर्योधनस्तु तच्छ्रुत्वा तेषां तत्र यशस्विनाम् । तथेत्युक्त्वा ह्रदं तं वै माययास्तम्भयत्प्रभो ॥
English Translation
Hearing those words of those active heroes, he answered them, saying-"Let it be so," and remained as before within the waters, having, O lord, turned them solid by his power of illusion.
ते त्वनुज्ञाप्य राजानं भृशं शोकपरायणाः । जग्मुर्दूरं महाराज कृपप्रभृतयो रथाः ॥
English Translation
Those car-warriors, headed by Kripa, filled with grief, took leave of the king and went away to a remote place.
ते गत्वा दूरमध्वानं न्यग्रोधं प्रेक्ष्य मारिष । न्यविशन्त भृशं श्रान्ताश्चिन्तयन्तो नृपं प्रति ॥
English Translation
Having proceeded far, they beheld a banian tree under whose shade they stopped, greatly exhausted and exceedingly anxious about the king and thinking thus.
विष्टभ्य सलिलं सुप्तो धार्तराष्ट्रो महाबलः । पाण्डवाश्चापि संप्राप्तास्तं देशं युद्धमीप्सवः ॥
English Translation
"Having solidified the waters of the lake, the powerful son of Dhritarashtra lives at tine bed. The Pandavas have reached there from desire of battle.
कथं नु युद्धं भविता कथं राजा भविष्यति । कथं नु पाण्डवा राजन्प्रतिपत्स्यन्ति कौरवम् ॥
English Translation
How will the battle take place? What will become of the king? How will the Pandavas discover the King?"
इत्येवं चिन्तयन्तस्ते रथेभ्योऽश्वान्विमुच्य ह । तत्रासां चक्रिरे राजन्कृपप्रभृतयो रथाः ॥
English Translation
Thinking of these things, O king, those heroes, viz., Kripa and others, unyoked their horses from their cars and prepared to rest there for some time.
