ऋषय ऊचुः ।
समन्तपञ्चकमिति यदुक्तं सूतनन्दन ।

1. ṛṣayaḥ ūcuḥ samantapañcakam iti yat uktam sūtanandana
etat sarvam yathānyāyam śrotum icchāmahe vayam
1. The sages said: 'O son of Sūta, we wish to hear in full detail all that has been told about Samantapañcaka.'
सूत उवाच ।
शुश्रूषा यदि वो विप्रा ब्रुवतश्च कथाः शुभाः ।
समन्तपञ्चकाख्यं च श्रोतुमर्हथ सत्तमाः ॥२॥
2. sūta uvāca ,

2. sūtaḥ uvāca śuśrūṣā yadi vaḥ viprāḥ bruvataḥ ca kathāḥ
śubhāḥ samantapañcakākhyam ca śrotum arhatha sattamāḥ
2. Sūta said: 'O learned ones, if you desire to listen to the auspicious stories that I am narrating, then, O best among men, you should certainly hear the account known as Samantapañcaka.'
त्रेताद्वापरयोः संधौ रामः शस्त्रभृतां वरः ।
असकृत्पार्थिवं क्षत्रं जघानामर्षचोदितः ॥३॥
3. tretādvāparayoḥ saṁdhau rāmaḥ śastrabhṛtāṁ varaḥ ,

3. tretādvāparayoḥ sandhau rāmaḥ śastrabhṛtām varaḥ
asakṛt pārthivam kṣatram jaghāna amarṣacoditaḥ
3. At the juncture of the Treta and Dvapara ages, Rama, the foremost among those who bear weapons, repeatedly annihilated the royal Kshatriya class, driven by intense anger.
स सर्वं क्षत्रमुत्साद्य स्ववीर्येणानलद्युतिः ।
समन्तपञ्चके पञ्च चकार रुधिरह्रदान् ॥४॥
4. sa sarvaṁ kṣatramutsādya svavīryeṇānaladyutiḥ ,
samantapañcake pañca cakāra rudhirahradān.
4. saḥ sarvam kṣatram utsādya svavīryeṇa analadyutiḥ
samantapañcake pañca cakāra rudhirahradān
4. Having exterminated the entire Kshatriya class through his own immense prowess, he, radiant like fire, created five lakes of blood in the region of Samantapañcaka.
स तेषु रुधिराम्भस्सु ह्रदेषु क्रोधमूर्च्छितः ।
पितॄन्संतर्पयामास रुधिरेणेति नः श्रुतम् ॥५॥
5. sa teṣu rudhirāmbhassu hradeṣu krodhamūrcchitaḥ ,
pitṝnsaṁtarpayāmāsa rudhireṇeti naḥ śrutam.
5. saḥ teṣu rudhirāmbhassu hradeṣu krodhamūrcchitaḥ
pitṝn saṃtarpayāmāsa rudhireṇa iti naḥ śrutam
5. Overwhelmed by wrath, he propitiated his ancestors in those blood-filled lakes with the very blood (of the Kshatriyas). Thus, it has been heard by us.
अथर्चीकादयोऽभ्येत्य पितरो ब्राह्मणर्षभम् ।
तं क्षमस्वेति सिषिधुस्ततः स विरराम ह ॥६॥
6. atharcīkādayo'bhyetya pitaro brāhmaṇarṣabham ,
taṁ kṣamasveti siṣidhustataḥ sa virarāma ha.
6. atha ṛcīkādayaḥ abhyetya pitaraḥ brāhmaṇarṣabham
tam kṣamasva iti siṣidhuḥ tataḥ saḥ virarāma ha
6. Then, Rchika and other ancestors approached him, the foremost among Brahmins, and restrained him, saying, "Please forgive!" Thereupon, he indeed ceased (his acts of vengeance).
तेषां समीपे यो देशो ह्रदानां रुधिराम्भसाम् ।
समन्तपञ्चकमिति पुण्यं तत्परिकीर्तितम् ॥७॥
7. teṣāṁ samīpe yo deśo hradānāṁ rudhirāmbhasām ,
samantapañcakamiti puṇyaṁ tatparikīrtitam.
7. teṣām samīpe yaḥ deśaḥ hradānām rudhirāmbhāsām
samantapañcakam iti puṇyam tat parikīrtitam
7. The region near those lakes, those reservoirs of blood, is therefore known as Samantapañcaka, and is proclaimed as sacred.
येन लिङ्गेन यो देशो युक्तः समुपलक्ष्यते ।
तेनैव नाम्ना तं देशं वाच्यमाहुर्मनीषिणः ॥८॥

8. yena liṅgena yaḥ deśaḥ yuktaḥ samupalakṣyate
tena eva nāmnā tam deśam vācyam āhuḥ manīṣiṇaḥ
8. The wise declare that a place, which is observed to be characterized by a particular distinguishing mark, should be called by that very name.
अन्तरे चैव संप्राप्ते कलिद्वापरयोरभूत् ।
समन्तपञ्चके युद्धं कुरुपाण्डवसेनयोः ॥९॥
9. antare caiva saṁprāpte kalidvāparayorabhūt ,
samantapañcake yuddhaṁ kurupāṇḍavasenayoḥ.
9. antare ca eva samprāpte kalidvāparayoḥ abhūt
samantapañcake yuddham kurupāṇḍavasenayoḥ
9. Indeed, at the junction of the Kali and Dvapara Yugas, the battle between the armies of the Kurus and Pandavas took place in Samantapañcaka.

10. tasmin paramadharmiṣṭhe deśe bhūdoṣavarjite
aṣṭādaśa samājagmuḥ akṣauhiṇyaḥ yuyutsayā
10. In that supremely righteous region, free from earthly defects, eighteen akṣauhiṇīs assembled with the desire to fight.
एवं नामाभिनिर्वृत्तं तस्य देशस्य वै द्विजाः ।
पुण्यश्च रमणीयश्च स देशो वः प्रकीर्तितः ॥११॥
11. evaṁ nāmābhinirvṛttaṁ tasya deśasya vai dvijāḥ ,
puṇyaśca ramaṇīyaśca sa deśo vaḥ prakīrtitaḥ.
11. evam nāma abhinirvṛttam tasya deśasya vai dvijāḥ
puṇyaḥ ca ramaṇīyaḥ ca saḥ deśaḥ vaḥ prakīrtitaḥ
11. Thus, O twice-born ones, was the name of that region established. That place has been declared to you as both sacred and delightful.
तदेतत्कथितं सर्वं मया वो मुनिसत्तमाः ।
यथा देशः स विख्यातस्त्रिषु लोकेषु विश्रुतः ॥१२॥

12. tat etat kathitam sarvam mayā vaḥ munisattamāḥ
yathā deśaḥ saḥ vikhyātaḥ triṣu lokeṣu viśrutaḥ
12. All this has been recounted by me to you, O best of sages, concerning how that region is renowned and celebrated throughout the three worlds.
ऋषय ऊचुः ।
अक्षौहिण्य इति प्रोक्तं यत्त्वया सूतनन्दन ।
एतदिच्छामहे श्रोतुं सर्वमेव यथातथम् ॥१३॥
13. ṛṣaya ūcuḥ ,
akṣauhiṇya iti proktaṁ yattvayā sūtanandana ,
etadicchāmahe śrotuṁ sarvameva yathātatham.
13. ṛṣayaḥ ūcuḥ | akṣauhiṇyaḥ iti proktam yat tvayā
sūtanandana | etat icchāmahe śrotum sarvam eva yathātatham
13. The sages said, "O son of Sūta, we wish to hear a complete and accurate account of what you have described as 'akṣauhiṇīs'."
अक्षौहिण्याः परीमाणं रथाश्वनरदन्तिनाम् ।
यथावच्चैव नो ब्रूहि सर्वं हि विदितं तव ॥१४॥
14. akṣauhiṇyāḥ parīmāṇaṁ rathāśvanaradantinām ,
yathāvaccaiva no brūhi sarvaṁ hi viditaṁ tava.
14. akṣauhiṇyāḥ parimāṇam rathāśvanaradantinām |
yathāvat ca eva naḥ brūhi sarvam hi viditam tava
14. Please tell us precisely the number of chariots, horses, foot soldiers, and elephants in an akṣauhiṇī, for surely, all is known to you.
सूत उवाच ।
एको रथो गजश्चैको नराः पञ्च पदातयः ।
त्रयश्च तुरगास्तज्ज्ञैः पत्तिरित्यभिधीयते ॥१५॥
15. sūta uvāca ,
eko ratho gajaścaiko narāḥ pañca padātayaḥ ,
trayaśca turagāstajjñaiḥ pattirityabhidhīyate.
15. sūtaḥ uvāca | ekaḥ rathaḥ gajaḥ ca ekaḥ narāḥ pañca
padātayaḥ | trayaḥ ca turagāḥ tajñaiḥ pattiḥ iti abhidhīyate
15. Sūta replied, "Experts define a 'patti' as one chariot, one elephant, five foot soldiers, and three horses."
पत्तिं तु त्रिगुणामेतामाहुः सेनामुखं बुधाः ।
त्रीणि सेनामुखान्येको गुल्म इत्यभिधीयते ॥१६॥
16. pattiṁ tu triguṇāmetāmāhuḥ senāmukhaṁ budhāḥ ,
trīṇi senāmukhānyeko gulma ityabhidhīyate.
16. pattim tu triguṇām etām āhuḥ senāmukham budhāḥ
| trīṇi senāmukhāni ekaḥ gulmaḥ iti abhidhīyate
16. The wise call a 'senāmukha' a 'patti' multiplied by three. One 'gulma' is then defined as three 'senāmukhas'.
त्रयो गुल्मा गणो नाम वाहिनी तु गणास्त्रयः ।
स्मृतास्तिस्रस्तु वाहिन्यः पृतनेति विचक्षणैः ॥१७॥
17. trayo gulmā gaṇo nāma vāhinī tu gaṇāstrayaḥ ,
smṛtāstisrastu vāhinyaḥ pṛtaneti vicakṣaṇaiḥ.
17. trayaḥ gulmāḥ gaṇaḥ nāma vāhinī tu gaṇāḥ trayaḥ |
smṛtāḥ tisraḥ tu vāhinyaḥ pṛtanā iti vicakṣaṇaiḥ
17. Three 'gulmas' form a 'gaṇa', and three 'gaṇas' form a 'vāhinī'. Three 'vāhinīs' are designated a 'pṛtanā' by the wise.
चमूस्तु पृतनास्तिस्रस्तिस्रश्चम्वस्त्वनीकिनी ।
अनीकिनीं दशगुणां प्राहुरक्षौहिणीं बुधाः ॥१८॥
18. camūstu pṛtanāstisrastisraścamvastvanīkinī ,
anīkinīṁ daśaguṇāṁ prāhurakṣauhiṇīṁ budhāḥ.
18. camūḥ tu pṛtanāḥ tisraḥ tisraḥ camvaḥ tu anīkinī
anīkinīm daśaguṇām prāhuḥ akṣauhiṇīm budhāḥ
18. Indeed, three regiments (pṛtanās) constitute a camū, and three camūs constitute an anīkinī. The wise declare that an akṣauhiṇī is ten times the size of an anīkinī.
अक्षौहिण्याः प्रसंख्यानं रथानां द्विजसत्तमाः ।
संख्यागणिततत्त्वज्ञैः सहस्राण्येकविंशतिः ॥१९॥
19. akṣauhiṇyāḥ prasaṁkhyānaṁ rathānāṁ dvijasattamāḥ ,
saṁkhyāgaṇitatattvajñaiḥ sahasrāṇyekaviṁśatiḥ.
19. akṣauhiṇyāḥ prasaṁkhyānam rathānām dvijasattamāḥ
saṁkhyāgaṇitatattvajñaiḥ sahasrāṇi ekaviṁśatiḥ
19. O best among the twice-born, those who are skilled in the principles of numeration and calculation declare that the count of chariots in an Akṣauhiṇī is twenty-one thousand.
शतान्युपरि चैवाष्टौ तथा भूयश्च सप्ततिः ।
गजानां तु परीमाणमेतदेवात्र निर्दिशेत् ॥२०॥
20. śatānyupari caivāṣṭau tathā bhūyaśca saptatiḥ ,
gajānāṁ tu parīmāṇametadevātra nirdiśet.
20. śatāni upari ca eva aṣṭau tathā bhūyaḥ ca saptatiḥ
gajānām tu parīmāṇam etat eva atra nirdiśet
20. And additionally, eight hundred and seventy (chariots). Indeed, this very same measure (i.e., 21,870) should also be declared here for elephants.
ज्ञेयं शतसहस्रं तु सहस्राणि तथा नव ।
नराणामपि पञ्चाशच्छतानि त्रीणि चानघाः ॥२१॥
21. jñeyaṁ śatasahasraṁ tu sahasrāṇi tathā nava ,
narāṇāmapi pañcāśacchatāni trīṇi cānaghāḥ.
21. jñeyam śatasahasram tu sahasrāṇi tathā nava
narāṇām api pañcāśat śatāni trīṇi ca anaghāḥ
21. O blameless ones, one should know that for men (foot soldiers), the count is one hundred thousand, and furthermore nine thousand, along with three hundred and fifty.
पञ्चषष्टिसहस्राणि तथाश्वानां शतानि च ।
दशोत्तराणि षट्प्राहुर्यथावदिह संख्यया ॥२२॥
22. pañcaṣaṣṭisahasrāṇi tathāśvānāṁ śatāni ca ,
daśottarāṇi ṣaṭprāhuryathāvadiha saṁkhyayā.
22. pañcaṣaṣṭisahasrāṇi tathā aśvānām śatāni ca
daśottarāṇi ṣaṭ prāhuḥ yathāvat iha saṁkhyayā
22. And sixty-five thousand, along with six hundred and ten horses, they properly declare here by enumeration.
एतामक्षौहिणीं प्राहुः संख्यातत्त्वविदो जनाः ।
यां वः कथितवानस्मि विस्तरेण द्विजोत्तमाः ॥२३॥
23. etāmakṣauhiṇīṁ prāhuḥ saṁkhyātattvavido janāḥ ,
yāṁ vaḥ kathitavānasmi vistareṇa dvijottamāḥ.
23. etām akṣauhiṇīm prāhuḥ saṅkhyātattvavidaḥ janāḥ
yām vaḥ kathitavān asmi vistareṇa dvijottamāḥ
23. O best of brahmins, those who know the science of numbers declare this to be an Akshauhini, which I have already explained to you in detail.
एतया संख्यया ह्यासन्कुरुपाण्डवसेनयोः ।
अक्षौहिण्यो द्विजश्रेष्ठाः पिण्डेनाष्टादशैव ताः ॥२४॥
24. etayā saṁkhyayā hyāsankurupāṇḍavasenayoḥ ,
akṣauhiṇyo dvijaśreṣṭhāḥ piṇḍenāṣṭādaśaiva tāḥ.
24. etayā saṅkhyayā hi āsan kurupāṇḍavasenayoḥ
akṣauhiṇyaḥ dvijaśreṣṭhāḥ piṇḍena aṣṭādaśa eva tāḥ
24. Indeed, O best of brahmins, by this very count, there were Akshauhinīs in the armies of the Kurus and Pandavas. In total, they were exactly eighteen.

25. sametāḥ tatra vai deśe tatra eva nidhanam gatāḥ
kauravān kāraṇam kṛtvā kālena adbhutakarmaṇā
25. Having gathered in that very region, they indeed perished right there, with the Kauravas serving as the cause, by the wondrous-working hand of Time.

26. ahāni yuyudhe bhīṣmaḥ daśa eva paramāstravit
ahāni pañca droṇaḥ tu rarakṣa kuruvāhinīm
26. Bhishma, the expert in supreme weapons, fought for exactly ten days. But Drona protected the Kuru army for five days.
