अथैतदेवं न करोषि राजन्ध्रुवं कुरूणां भविता विनाशः ।
न हि क्रुद्धो भीमसेनोऽर्जुनो वा शेषं कुर्याच्छात्रवाणामनीके ॥९॥

9. athaitadevaṁ na karoṣi rāja;ndhruvaṁ kurūṇāṁ bhavitā vināśaḥ ,
na hi kruddho bhīmaseno'rjuno vā; śeṣaṁ kuryācchātravāṇāmanīke.

9. atha etat evam na karoṣi rājan
dhruvam kurūṇām bhavitā vināśaḥ |
na hi kruddhaḥ bhīmasenaḥ arjunaḥ
vā śeṣam kuryāt śātravāṇām anīke

9. However, if you, O King, do not do this, then the destruction of the Kurus is certain. For neither an enraged Bhīmasena nor Arjuna would leave any survivors in the enemy's army.

9. ואם לא תעשה זאת, הו מלך, בוודאי יבוא חורבן על בני קוּרוּ. כי בְּהִימַסֵנַה בכעסו, או אַרְג׳וּנַה, לא ישאירו שריד במחנה האויבים.
