कारणद्वयमास्थाय नाहं योत्स्यामि पाण्डवैः ।
अवध्यत्वाच्च पाण्डूनां स्त्रीभावाच्च शिखण्डिनः ॥३२॥
32. kāraṇadvayamāsthāya nāhaṁ yotsyāmi pāṇḍavaiḥ ,
avadhyatvācca pāṇḍūnāṁ strībhāvācca śikhaṇḍinaḥ.
32. kāraṇadvayam āsthāya na aham yotsyāmi pāṇḍavaiḥ
avadhyatvāt ca pāṇḍūnām strībhāvāt ca śikhaṇḍinaḥ
32. aham kāraṇadvayam āsthāya pāṇḍavaiḥ na yotsyāmi:
pāṇḍūnām avadhyatvāt ca śikhaṇḍinaḥ strībhāvāt ca
32. Relying on two reasons, I will not fight with the Pandavas: due to the invulnerability of the Pandavas, and due to the feminine nature of Shikhandin.
पित्रा तुष्टेन मे पूर्वं यदा कालीमुदावहत् ।
स्वच्छन्दमरणं दत्तमवध्यत्वं रणे तथा ।
तस्मान्मृत्युमहं मन्ये प्राप्तकालमिवात्मनः ॥३३॥
33. pitrā tuṣṭena me pūrvaṁ yadā kālīmudāvahat ,
svacchandamaraṇaṁ dattamavadhyatvaṁ raṇe tathā ,
tasmānmṛtyumahaṁ manye prāptakālamivātmanaḥ.
33. pitrā tuṣṭena me pūrvam yadā kālīm
udāvahat svacchandamaraṇam dattam
avadhyatvam raṇe tathā tasmāt mṛtyum

33. yadā tuṣṭena pitrā me pūrvam kālīm udāvahat,
svacchandamaraṇam raṇe avadhyatvam tathā dattam.
tasmāt aham ātmanaḥ mṛtyum prāptakālam iva manye.
33. Formerly, when my father, being pleased, married Kali, both the boon of death at will and invulnerability in battle were granted to me. Therefore, I consider this death as if it has arrived at its destined time for my ātman (self).
एवं ज्ञात्वा व्यवसितं भीष्मस्यामिततेजसः ।
ऋषयो वसवश्चैव वियत्स्था भीष्ममब्रुवन् ॥३४॥
34. evaṁ jñātvā vyavasitaṁ bhīṣmasyāmitatejasaḥ ,
ṛṣayo vasavaścaiva viyatsthā bhīṣmamabruvan.
34. evam jñātvā vyavasitam bhīṣmasya amitatejasaḥ
ṛṣayaḥ vasavaḥ ca eva viyatsthāḥ bhīṣmam abruvan
34. evam amitatejasaḥ bhīṣmasya vyavasitam jñātvā
ṛṣayaḥ vasavaḥ ca eva viyatsthāḥ bhīṣmam abruvan
34. Thus, having understood the resolve of Bhishma, who possessed immeasurable radiance, the sages and the Vasus, stationed in the sky, spoke to Bhishma.
यत्ते व्यवसितं वीर अस्माकं सुमहत्प्रियम् ।
तत्कुरुष्व महेष्वास युद्धाद्बुद्धिं निवर्तय ॥३५॥
35. yatte vyavasitaṁ vīra asmākaṁ sumahatpriyam ,
tatkuruṣva maheṣvāsa yuddhādbuddhiṁ nivartaya.
35. yat te vyavasitam vīra asmākam sumahat priyam
tat kuruṣva maheṣvāsa yuddhāt buddhim nivartaya
35. vīra maheṣvāsa yat te sumahat priyam vyavasitam (asti) tat kuruṣva,
yuddhāt buddhim nivartaya
35. O hero (vīra), O great archer (maheṣvāsa), accomplish that resolve of yours which is exceedingly dear to us; turn your mind away from battle.
तस्य वाक्यस्य निधने प्रादुरासीच्छिवोऽनिलः ।
अनुलोमः सुगन्धी च पृषतैश्च समन्वितः ॥३६॥
36. tasya vākyasya nidhane prādurāsīcchivo'nilaḥ ,
anulomaḥ sugandhī ca pṛṣataiśca samanvitaḥ.
36. tasya vākyasya nidhane prāduḥ āsīt śivaḥ anilaḥ

36. tasya vākyasya nidhane śivaḥ anulomaḥ sugandhī
ca pṛṣataiḥ ca samanvitaḥ anilaḥ prāduḥ āsīt
36. At the conclusion of his (Bhishma's) speech, a gentle, fragrant, and favorable wind, accompanied by raindrops, manifested.
देवदुन्दुभयश्चैव संप्रणेदुर्महास्वनाः ।
पपात पुष्पवृष्टिश्च भीष्मस्योपरि पार्थिव ॥३७॥
37. devadundubhayaścaiva saṁpraṇedurmahāsvanāḥ ,
papāta puṣpavṛṣṭiśca bhīṣmasyopari pārthiva.
37. devadundubhayaḥ ca eva sampraneduḥ mahāsvanāḥ
papāta puṣpavṛṣṭiḥ ca bhīṣmasya upari pārthiva
37. pārthiva devadundubhayaḥ ca eva mahāsvanāḥ sampraneduḥ,
puṣpavṛṣṭiḥ ca bhīṣmasya upari papāta
37. And indeed, O king (pārthiva), the divine drums resounded with great noise, and a shower of flowers fell upon Bhishma.
न च तच्छुश्रुवे कश्चित्तेषां संवदतां नृप ।
ऋते भीष्मं महाबाहुं मां चापि मुनितेजसा ॥३८॥
38. na ca tacchuśruve kaścitteṣāṁ saṁvadatāṁ nṛpa ,
ṛte bhīṣmaṁ mahābāhuṁ māṁ cāpi munitejasā.
38. na ca tat śuśruve kaścit teṣām saṃvadatām nṛpa
ṛte bhīṣmam mahābāhum mām ca api munitejasā
38. nṛpa teṣām saṃvadatām tat kaścit na ca śuśruve
bhīṣmam mahābāhum ca mām api ṛte munitejasā
38. And, O king, no one among them heard that conversation, except for the mighty-armed Bhishma and myself, due to the power of a sage.
संभ्रमश्च महानासीत्त्रिदशानां विशां पते ।
पतिष्यति रथाद्भीष्मे सर्वलोकप्रिये तदा ॥३९॥
39. saṁbhramaśca mahānāsīttridaśānāṁ viśāṁ pate ,
patiṣyati rathādbhīṣme sarvalokapriye tadā.
39. saṃbhramaḥ ca mahān āsīt tridaśānām viśām pate
patiṣyati rathāt bhīṣme sarvalokapriye tadā
39. viśām pate tridaśānām mahān saṃbhramaḥ ca āsīt
tadā bhīṣme sarvalokapriye rathāt patiṣyati
39. And great agitation arose among the gods, O lord of people, then, at the thought that Bhishma, beloved by all beings, would fall from his chariot.
इति देवगणानां च श्रुत्वा वाक्यं महामनाः ।
ततः शांतनवो भीष्मो बीभत्सुं नाभ्यवर्तत ।
भिद्यमानः शितैर्बाणैः सर्वावरणभेदिभिः ॥४०॥
40. iti devagaṇānāṁ ca śrutvā vākyaṁ mahāmanāḥ ,
tataḥ śāṁtanavo bhīṣmo bībhatsuṁ nābhyavartata ,
bhidyamānaḥ śitairbāṇaiḥ sarvāvaraṇabhedibhiḥ.
40. iti devagaṇānām ca śrutvā vākyam
mahāmanāḥ tataḥ śāntanavaḥ bhīṣmaḥ
bībhatsum na abhyavartata bhidyamānaḥ
śitaiḥ bāṇaiḥ sarvāvaraṇabhedibhiḥ
40. iti devagaṇānām vākyam ca śrutvā
mahāmanāḥ śāntanavaḥ bhīṣmaḥ tataḥ
bībhatsum na abhyavartata śitaiḥ
sarvāvaraṇabhedibhiḥ bāṇaiḥ bhidyamānaḥ
40. Having heard these words of the hosts of gods, the great-souled Bhishma, son of Shantanu, then did not turn to resist Arjuna (Bibhatsu), even as he was being pierced by sharp arrows that penetrated all armor.
शिखण्डी तु महाराज भरतानां पितामहम् ।
आजघानोरसि क्रुद्धो नवभिर्निशितैः शरैः ॥४१॥
41. śikhaṇḍī tu mahārāja bharatānāṁ pitāmaham ,
ājaghānorasi kruddho navabhirniśitaiḥ śaraiḥ.
41. śikhaṇḍī tu mahārāja bharatānām pitāmaham
ājaghāna urasi kruddhaḥ navabhiḥ niśitaiḥ śaraiḥ
41. mahārāja tu śikhaṇḍī kruddhaḥ bharatānām
pitāmaham urasi navabhiḥ niśitaiḥ śaraiḥ ājaghāna
41. But Shikhandi, O great king, enraged, struck the grandfather of the Bharatas (Bhishma) upon the chest with nine sharp arrows.
स तेनाभिहतः संख्ये भीष्मः कुरुपितामहः ।
नाकम्पत महाराज क्षितिकम्पे यथाचलः ॥४२॥
42. sa tenābhihataḥ saṁkhye bhīṣmaḥ kurupitāmahaḥ ,
nākampata mahārāja kṣitikampe yathācalaḥ.
42. saḥ tena abhihataḥ saṃkhye bhīṣmaḥ kurupitāmahaḥ
na akampata mahārāja kṣitikampē yathā acalaḥ
42. mahārāja saṃkhye tena abhihataḥ kurupitāmahaḥ
bhīṣmaḥ kṣitikampē acalaḥ yathā na akampata
42. O great king, Bhīṣma, the grandfather of the Kurus, though struck by that (attack) in battle, did not waver, just like a mountain during an earthquake.
ततः प्रहस्य बीभत्सुर्व्याक्षिपन्गाण्डिवं धनुः ।
गाङ्गेयं पञ्चविंशत्या क्षुद्रकाणां समर्पयत् ॥४३॥
43. tataḥ prahasya bībhatsurvyākṣipangāṇḍivaṁ dhanuḥ ,
gāṅgeyaṁ pañcaviṁśatyā kṣudrakāṇāṁ samarpayat.
43. tataḥ prahasya bībhatsuḥ vyākṣipan gāṇḍivaṃ dhanuḥ
gāṅgeyaṃ pañcaviṃśatyā kṣudrakāṇāṃ samarpayat
43. tataḥ bībhatsuḥ prahasya gāṇḍivaṃ dhanuḥ vyākṣipan
pañcaviṃśatyā kṣudrakāṇāṃ gāṅgeyaṃ samarpayat
43. Then Arjuna (Vibhatsu), laughing and drawing his Gāṇḍīva bow, struck Bhīṣma (the son of Gaṅgā) with twenty-five small arrows.
पुनः शरशतेनैनं त्वरमाणो धनंजयः ।
सर्वगात्रेषु संक्रुद्धः सर्वमर्मस्वताडयत् ॥४४॥
44. punaḥ śaraśatenainaṁ tvaramāṇo dhanaṁjayaḥ ,
sarvagātreṣu saṁkruddhaḥ sarvamarmasvatāḍayat.
44. punaḥ śaraśatena enaṃ tvaramāṇaḥ dhanañjayaḥ
sarvagātreṣu saṃkruddhaḥ sarvamarmasu atāḍayat
44. punaḥ saṃkruddhaḥ tvaramāṇaḥ dhanañjayaḥ
śaraśatena enaṃ sarvagātreṣu sarvamarmasu atāḍayat
44. Again, Dhanañjaya (Arjuna), greatly enraged and hastening, struck Bhīṣma with a hundred arrows in all his limbs and all his vital spots.
एवमन्यैरपि भृशं वध्यमानो महारणे ।
न चक्रुस्ते रुजं तस्य रुक्मपुङ्खाः शिलाशिताः ॥४५॥
45. evamanyairapi bhṛśaṁ vadhyamāno mahāraṇe ,
na cakruste rujaṁ tasya rukmapuṅkhāḥ śilāśitāḥ.
45. evaṃ anyaiḥ api bhṛśaṃ vadhyamānaḥ mahāraṇe na
cakruḥ te rujaṃ tasya rukmapuṅkhāḥ śilāśitāḥ
45. evaṃ mahāraṇe anyaiḥ api bhṛśaṃ vadhyamānaḥ te
śilāśitāḥ rukmapuṅkhāḥ tasya rujaṃ na cakruḥ
45. Even though he was being severely struck by others in that great battle, those gold-feathered arrows, sharpened on stone, did not cause him pain.
ततः किरीटी संरब्धो भीष्ममेवाभ्यवर्तत ।
शिखण्डिनं पुरस्कृत्य धनुश्चास्य समाच्छिनत् ॥४६॥
46. tataḥ kirīṭī saṁrabdho bhīṣmamevābhyavartata ,
śikhaṇḍinaṁ puraskṛtya dhanuścāsya samācchinat.
46. tataḥ kirīṭī saṃrabdhaḥ bhīṣmam eva abhyavartata
śikhaṇḍinam puraskṛtya dhanuḥ ca asya samācchinat
46. tataḥ saṃrabdhaḥ kirīṭī śikhaṇḍinam puraskṛtya
bhīṣmam eva abhyavartata ca asya dhanuḥ samācchinat
46. Then, enraged, Arjuna (Kiriti) advanced upon Bhishma, placing Shikhandin in front, and cut off his (Bhishma's) bow.
अथैनं दशभिर्विद्ध्वा ध्वजमेकेन चिच्छिदे ।
सारथिं विशिखैश्चास्य दशभिः समकम्पयत् ॥४७॥
47. athainaṁ daśabhirviddhvā dhvajamekena cicchide ,
sārathiṁ viśikhaiścāsya daśabhiḥ samakampayat.
47. atha enam daśabhiḥ viddhvā dhvajam ekena cicchide
sārathim viśikhaiḥ ca asya daśabhiḥ samakampayat
47. atha enam daśabhiḥ viddhvā ekena dhvajam cicchide
ca asya sārathim daśabhiḥ viśikhaiḥ samakampayat
47. Then, having pierced him with ten arrows, he cut off his banner with one. With ten more sharp arrows, he then made his charioteer tremble.
सोऽन्यत्कार्मुकमादत्त गाङ्गेयो बलवत्तरम् ।
तदप्यस्य शितैर्भल्लैस्त्रिधा त्रिभिरुपानुदत् ।
निमेषान्तरमात्रेण आत्तमात्तं महारणे ॥४८॥
48. so'nyatkārmukamādatta gāṅgeyo balavattaram ,
tadapyasya śitairbhallaistridhā tribhirupānudat ,
nimeṣāntaramātreṇa āttamāttaṁ mahāraṇe.
48. saḥ anyat kārmukam ādatta gāṅgeyaḥ
balavattaram tat api asya śitaiḥ
bhallaiḥ tridhā tribhiḥ upānudat
nimeṣāntaramātreṇa āttam āttam mahāraṇe
48. saḥ gāṅgeyaḥ balavattaram anyat
kārmukam ādatta api asya śitaiḥ tribhiḥ
bhallaiḥ tat tridhā upānudat mahāraṇe
nimeṣāntaramātreṇa āttam āttam
48. Then, Bhishma (Gāṅgeya) took up another, more powerful bow. But Arjuna, with three sharp arrows, immediately shattered that one into three pieces. Thus, in the great battle, every bow that Bhishma took up was instantly broken.
एवमस्य धनूंष्याजौ चिच्छेद सुबहून्यपि ।
ततः शांतनवो भीष्मो बीभत्सुं नाभ्यवर्तत ॥४९॥
49. evamasya dhanūṁṣyājau ciccheda subahūnyapi ,
tataḥ śāṁtanavo bhīṣmo bībhatsuṁ nābhyavartata.
49. evam asya dhanūṃṣi ājau ciccheda subahūni api
tataḥ śāntanavaḥ bhīṣmaḥ bībhatsum na abhyavartata
49. evam asya subahūni dhanūṃṣi ājau api ciccheda
tataḥ śāntanavaḥ bhīṣmaḥ bībhatsum na abhyavartata
49. In this manner, Arjuna cut off many of Bhishma's bows in battle. Consequently, Bhishma (Śāntanava) then ceased to attack Arjuna (Bībhatsu).
अथैनं पञ्चविंशत्या क्षुद्रकाणां समर्दयत् ।
सोऽतिविद्धो महेष्वासो दुःशासनमभाषत ॥५०॥
50. athainaṁ pañcaviṁśatyā kṣudrakāṇāṁ samardayat ,
so'tividdho maheṣvāso duḥśāsanamabhāṣata.
50. atha enam pañcaviṃśatyā kṣudrakāṇām samardayat
saḥ atividdhaḥ maheṣvāsaḥ duḥśāsanam abhāṣata
50. atha enam pañcaviṃśatyā kṣudrakāṇām samardayat
saḥ atividdhaḥ maheṣvāsaḥ duḥśāsanam abhāṣata
50. Then (Arjuna) assailed him (Bhishma) with twenty-five kṣudraka (small) arrows. He, the great archer, deeply wounded, spoke to Duḥśāsana.
एष पार्थो रणे क्रुद्धः पाण्डवानां महारथः ।
शरैरनेकसाहस्रैर्मामेवाभ्यसते रणे ॥५१॥
51. eṣa pārtho raṇe kruddhaḥ pāṇḍavānāṁ mahārathaḥ ,
śarairanekasāhasrairmāmevābhyasate raṇe.
51. eṣaḥ pārthaḥ raṇe kruddhaḥ pāṇḍavānām mahārathaḥ
śaraiḥ anekasāhasraiḥ mām eva abhyasate raṇe
51. eṣaḥ pārthaḥ pāṇḍavānām mahārathaḥ raṇe kruddhaḥ
anekasāhasraiḥ śaraiḥ mām eva raṇe abhyasate
51. This Pārtha (Arjuna), the great warrior (mahāratha) of the Pāṇḍavas, enraged in battle, is assailing me alone with many thousands of arrows.
न चैष शक्यः समरे जेतुं वज्रभृता अपि ।
न चापि सहिता वीरा देवदानवराक्षसाः ।
मां चैव शक्ता निर्जेतुं किमु मर्त्याः सुदुर्बलाः ॥५२॥
52. na caiṣa śakyaḥ samare jetuṁ vajrabhṛtā api ,
na cāpi sahitā vīrā devadānavarākṣasāḥ ,
māṁ caiva śaktā nirjetuṁ kimu martyāḥ sudurbalāḥ.
52. na ca eṣaḥ śakyaḥ samare jetum
vajrabhṛtā api na ca api sahitāḥ vīrāḥ
devadānavarākṣasāḥ mām ca eva
śaktāḥ nirjetum kimu martyāḥ sudurbalāḥ
52. ca eṣaḥ vajrabhṛtā api samare jetum
na śakyaḥ ca api sahitāḥ
devadānavarākṣasāḥ vīrāḥ mām eva nirjetum
na śaktāḥ kimu sudurbalāḥ martyāḥ
52. This (Arjuna) cannot be defeated in battle, not even by Indra (Vajrabhṛt). Nor can the united heroes, including gods, dānavas, and rākṣasas, defeat me. How much less then can exceedingly weak mortals do so?
एवं तयोः संवदतोः फल्गुनो निशितैः शरैः ।
शिखण्डिनं पुरस्कृत्य भीष्मं विव्याध संयुगे ॥५३॥
53. evaṁ tayoḥ saṁvadatoḥ phalguno niśitaiḥ śaraiḥ ,
śikhaṇḍinaṁ puraskṛtya bhīṣmaṁ vivyādha saṁyuge.
53. evam tayoḥ saṃvadatoḥ phalgunah niśitaiḥ śaraiḥ
śikhaṇḍinam puraskṛtya bhīṣmam vivyādha saṃyuge
53. evam tayoḥ saṃvadatoḥ phalgunaḥ śikhaṇḍinam
puraskṛtya niśitaiḥ śaraiḥ saṃyuge bhīṣmam vivyādha
53. While those two were speaking in this manner, Phalguna (Arjuna), placing Śikhaṇḍin in front, pierced Bhīṣma in battle with sharp arrows.
ततो दुःशासनं भूयः स्मयमानोऽभ्यभाषत ।
अतिविद्धः शितैर्बाणैर्भृशं गाण्डीवधन्वना ॥५४॥
54. tato duḥśāsanaṁ bhūyaḥ smayamāno'bhyabhāṣata ,
atividdhaḥ śitairbāṇairbhṛśaṁ gāṇḍīvadhanvanā.
54. tataḥ duḥśāsanam bhūyaḥ smayamānaḥ abhyabhāṣata
atividdhaḥ śitaiḥ bāṇaiḥ bhṛśam gāṇḍīvadhanvanā
54. smayamānaḥ gāṇḍīvadhanvanā śitaiḥ bāṇaiḥ bhṛśam
atividdhaḥ tataḥ bhūyaḥ duḥśāsanam abhyabhāṣata
54. Then, smiling, he (Bhīṣma), though severely pierced by the sharp arrows of the wielder of the Gāṇḍīva bow (Arjuna), again addressed Duḥśāsana.
वज्राशनिसमस्पर्शाः शिताग्राः संप्रवेशिताः ।
विमुक्ता अव्यवच्छिन्ना नेमे बाणाः शिखण्डिनः ॥५५॥
55. vajrāśanisamasparśāḥ śitāgrāḥ saṁpraveśitāḥ ,
vimuktā avyavacchinnā neme bāṇāḥ śikhaṇḍinaḥ.
55. vajrāśanisamasparśāḥ śitāgrāḥ sampraveśitāḥ
vimuktāḥ avyavacchinnāḥ na ime bāṇāḥ śikhaṇḍinaḥ
55. ime vajrāśanisamasparśāḥ śitāgrāḥ avyavacchinnāḥ
vimuktāḥ sampraveśitāḥ bāṇāḥ śikhaṇḍinaḥ na
55. These arrows, whose piercing touch is like a thunderbolt and lightning, sharp-pointed, released continuously, and deeply penetrating, are not Śikhaṇḍin's.
निकृन्तमाना मर्माणि दृढावरणभेदिनः ।
मुसलानीव मे घ्नन्ति नेमे बाणाः शिखण्डिनः ॥५६॥
56. nikṛntamānā marmāṇi dṛḍhāvaraṇabhedinaḥ ,
musalānīva me ghnanti neme bāṇāḥ śikhaṇḍinaḥ.
56. nikṛntamānāḥ marmāṇi dṛḍhāvaraṇabhedinaḥ
musalāni iva me ghnanti na ime bāṇāḥ śikhaṇḍinaḥ
56. ime bāṇāḥ marmāṇi nikṛntamānāḥ dṛḍhāvaraṇabhedinaḥ
musalāni iva me ghnanti na śikhaṇḍinaḥ
56. These arrows, cutting into my vital spots, piercing strong armor, and striking me as if they were maces, are not Śikhaṇḍin's.
ब्रह्मदण्डसमस्पर्शा वज्रवेगा दुरासदाः ।
मम प्राणानारुजन्ति नेमे बाणाः शिखण्डिनः ॥५७॥
57. brahmadaṇḍasamasparśā vajravegā durāsadāḥ ,
mama prāṇānārujanti neme bāṇāḥ śikhaṇḍinaḥ.
57. brahmadaṇḍasamasparśāḥ vajravegāḥ durāsadāḥ
mama prāṇān ārujanti na ime bāṇāḥ śikhaṇḍinaḥ
57. ime brahmadaṇḍasamasparśāḥ vajravegāḥ durāsadāḥ
bāṇāḥ mama prāṇān ārujanti na śikhaṇḍinaḥ
57. These arrows, whose touch is like the rod of Brahmā, possessing the speed of a thunderbolt, and irresistible, are crushing my life; they are certainly not Śikhaṇḍin's.
भुजगा इव संक्रुद्धा लेलिहाना विषोल्बणाः ।
ममाविशन्ति मर्माणि नेमे बाणाः शिखण्डिनः ॥५८॥
58. bhujagā iva saṁkruddhā lelihānā viṣolbaṇāḥ ,
mamāviśanti marmāṇi neme bāṇāḥ śikhaṇḍinaḥ.
58. bhujagāḥ iva saṃkruddhāḥ lelihānāḥ viṣa-ulbaṇāḥ
mama āviśanti marmāṇi na ime bāṇāḥ śikhaṇḍinaḥ
58. saṃkruddhāḥ viṣa-ulbaṇāḥ lelihānāḥ bhujagāḥ iva ime bāṇāḥ mama marmāṇi āviśanti.
ime śikhaṇḍinaḥ bāṇāḥ na.
58. These arrows are not Śikhaṇḍin’s. Like enraged, venomous snakes, repeatedly licking their tongues, they penetrate my vital spots.
नाशयन्तीव मे प्राणान्यमदूता इवाहिताः ।
गदापरिघसंस्पर्शा नेमे बाणाः शिखण्डिनः ॥५९॥
59. nāśayantīva me prāṇānyamadūtā ivāhitāḥ ,
gadāparighasaṁsparśā neme bāṇāḥ śikhaṇḍinaḥ.
59. nāśayanti iva me prāṇān yamadūtāḥ iva āhitāḥ
gadā-parigha-saṃsparśāḥ na ime bāṇāḥ śikhaṇḍinaḥ
59. āhitāḥ yamadūtāḥ iva,
(yeṣāṃ) gadā-parigha-saṃsparśāḥ (te ime bāṇāḥ) me prāṇān nāśayanti iva.
ime śikhaṇḍinaḥ bāṇāḥ na.
59. These arrows are not Śikhaṇḍin’s. They seem to destroy my vital airs (prāṇa) like hostile messengers of Yama, with a touch like maces and iron bars.
कृन्तन्ति मम गात्राणि माघमासे गवामिव ।
अर्जुनस्य इमे बाणा नेमे बाणाः शिखण्डिनः ॥६०॥
60. kṛntanti mama gātrāṇi māghamāse gavāmiva ,
arjunasya ime bāṇā neme bāṇāḥ śikhaṇḍinaḥ.
60. kṛntanti mama gātrāṇi māgha-māse gavām iva
arjunasya ime bāṇāḥ na ime bāṇāḥ śikhaṇḍinaḥ
60. ime bāṇāḥ māgha-māse gavām iva mama gātrāṇi kṛntanti.
ime arjunasya bāṇāḥ,
na ime śikhaṇḍinaḥ bāṇāḥ.
60. These arrows are not Śikhaṇḍin’s. These are Arjuna’s arrows, and they cut my limbs as (the severe cold) in the month of Māgha affects cows.
सर्वे ह्यपि न मे दुःखं कुर्युरन्ये नराधिपाः ।
वीरं गण्डीवधन्वानमृते जिष्णुं कपिध्वजम् ॥६१॥
61. sarve hyapi na me duḥkhaṁ kuryuranye narādhipāḥ ,
vīraṁ gaṇḍīvadhanvānamṛte jiṣṇuṁ kapidhvajam.
61. sarve hi api na me duḥkham kuryuḥ anye narādhipāḥ
vīram gāṇḍīva-dhanvānam ṛte jiṣṇum kapi-dhvajam
61. hi anye sarve narādhipāḥ api me duḥkham na kuryuḥ.
vīram gāṇḍīva-dhanvānam jiṣṇum kapi-dhvajam ṛte (ko'pi na kuryuḥ).
61. Indeed, all other kings would not cause me such pain; only the heroic wielder of the Gaṇḍīva bow, the victorious one with the monkey banner (Arjuna), could.
इति ब्रुवञ्शांतनवो दिधक्षुरिव पाण्डवम् ।
सविष्फुलिङ्गां दीप्ताग्रां शक्तिं चिक्षेप भारत ॥६२॥
62. iti bruvañśāṁtanavo didhakṣuriva pāṇḍavam ,
saviṣphuliṅgāṁ dīptāgrāṁ śaktiṁ cikṣepa bhārata.
62. iti bruvan śāntanavaḥ didhakṣuḥ iva pāṇḍavam |
saviṣphuliṅgām dīptāgrām śaktim cikṣepa bhārata
62. bhārata,
iti bruvan,
śāntanavaḥ didhakṣuḥ iva pāṇḍavam,
saviṣphuliṅgām dīptāgrām śaktim cikṣepa.
62. O Bharata, speaking thus, Bhishma (śāntanava) hurled a spear (śakti) with sparks and a blazing tip, as if he intended to burn Arjuna (pāṇḍava).
तामस्य विशिखैश्छित्त्वा त्रिधा त्रिभिरपातयत् ।

(saḥ) sarva-dhanuṣmatām ketuḥ (āsīt).
śara-saṃghaiḥ samācitaḥ (api),
(saḥ) dharaṇīm na ca aspṛśat api.
84. He, the mighty-armed one, fell, making the earth resound, like a banner of Indra thrown down. Though he was the foremost (ketu) of all bowmen, he did not even touch the ground (dharaṇī), being covered by a multitude of arrows.
शरतल्पे महेष्वासं शयानं पुरुषर्षभम् ।

86. Rain poured down, and the earth trembled greatly. He (Bhīṣma) was seen falling, and the sun appeared diminished.

ālabhat ca antarikṣe samantataḥ divyām vācam śuśrāva
87. O Bhārata, the hero (Bhīṣma) indeed regained his consciousness (saṃjñā), having considered the right time (kāla). And he heard a divine voice from all directions in the sky.
कथं महात्मा गाङ्गेयः सर्वशस्त्रभृतां वरः ।

88. katham mahātmā gāṅgeyaḥ sarvaśastrabṛtām varaḥ
naravyāghraḥ samprāpte dakṣiṇāyane kālam kartā
88. How can the great-souled Gāṅgeya, that tiger among men, the best of all weapon-bearers, choose his time (kāla) for death when the southern solstice (dakṣiṇāyana) has arrived?
स्थितोऽस्मीति च गाङ्गेयस्तच्छ्रुत्वा वाक्यमब्रवीत् ।

patitaḥ api uttarāyaṇam anvicchan
bhīṣmaḥ kurupitāmahaḥ prāṇān dhārayāmāsa
89. Having heard that statement, Gāṅgeya (Bhīṣma) replied, 'I am remaining (alive)!' And indeed, though fallen on the ground, Bhīṣma, the grandfather of the Kurus, held onto his vital breaths (prāṇas), desiring the northern solstice (uttarāyaṇa).

90. gaṅgā himavataḥ sutā tasya tat matam ājñāya
maharṣīn haṃsarūpeṇa tatra vai preṣayāmāsa
90. Understanding his intention, Gaṅgā, the daughter of Himavat, sent great sages there in the form of swans.
ततः संपातिनो हंसास्त्वरिता मानसौकसः ।

91. Then, the swift swans, dwellers of (Lake) Manasa, came together, flocking, to see Bhishma, the grandsire of the Kurus. There lay the grandsire (pitāmaha), the best among men, upon a bed of arrows.
ते तु भीष्मं समासाद्य मुनयो हंसरूपिणः ।
अपश्यञ्शरतल्पस्थं भीष्मं कुरुपितामहम् ॥९२॥
92. te tu bhīṣmaṁ samāsādya munayo haṁsarūpiṇaḥ ,

92. te tu haṃsarūpiṇaḥ munayaḥ bhīṣmam samāsādya
śaratālpastham kurupitāmaham bhīṣmam apaśyan
92. Indeed, those sages, who had taken the form of swans, approached Bhishma. They then saw the Kuru grandsire (pitāmaha), Bhishma, lying on his bed of arrows.
ते तं दृष्ट्वा महात्मानं कृत्वा चापि प्रदक्षिणम् ।

93. te tam mahātmānam gāṅgeyam bharataśreṣṭham dṛṣṭvā

93. They, having seen that great-souled one (ātman), Gaṅgā's son and the best of the Bharatas, and having also performed a clockwise circumambulation (pradakṣiṇam), keeping the sun (bhāskaram) to their right...

"
94. Having consulted each other, the wise individuals there said, "The great-souled (mahātman) Bhishma will certainly pass away during the southern course of the sun."

96. The son of Shantanu (Bhishma) said to them, "I will certainly not depart while the sun is in its southern course. This resolve is fixed in my mind."

98. I shall sustain my vital breaths with the desire for the northern solstice. Indeed, I am master of the vital breaths and resolute in their release. Therefore, desiring to die, I shall sustain my vital breaths during the northern solstice.

99. And that boon which was given to me by that great-souled father, 'death by one's own will' – let that boon likewise be his.

101. evam kurūṇām mahaujasi bhīṣme śṛṅge patite (sati)
pāṇḍavāḥ ca eva sṛñjayāḥ siṃhanādam pracakrire
101. Thus, when Bhishma, the great-mighty peak of the Kurus, had fallen, the Pandavas and the Srinjayas both let out a lion's roar.

tasmin mahāsattve bharatānām amadhyame hate,
te putrāḥ na kiñcit pratyapadyanta.
tadā ca eva kurūṇām tumulaḥ saṃmohaḥ abhavat.
102. O best of the Bharatas, when that great-souled one, unequaled among the Bharatas, was killed, your sons could do nothing. And then, indeed, a terrible delusion (saṃmoha) befell the Kurus.
नृपा दुर्योधनमुखा निःश्वस्य रुरुदुस्ततः ।

103. nṛpā duryodhanamukhā niḥśvasya rurudustataḥ ,

103. tataḥ duryodhanamukhāḥ nṛpāḥ niḥśvasya ruruduḥ.

103. Then, the kings led by Duryodhana sighed and wept. And from sorrow, with their senses bewildered, they remained motionless for a long time.

104. mahārāja,

na yuddhe manaḥ dadhire.
ca ūrugrāhagr̥hītāḥ pāṇḍavān na abhyadhāvanta.
104. O great king, they pondered and indeed, they did not fix their minds on battle. And afflicted by paralysis of the thighs (ūrugrāha), they could not advance against the Pāṇḍavas.

105. rājan,
avadhye śantanoḥ putre mahaujasi bhīṣme hate,
sumahān abhāvaḥ atandritaḥ kurūn agāt.
105. O King, when Bhīṣma, the son of Śantanu, of great prowess, who was invincible, was killed, a very great downfall (abhāva) swiftly befell the Kurus.

106. ca vayam hatapravīrāḥ ca śitaiḥ śaraiḥ nikṛttāḥ
savyasācinā nirjitāḥ kartavyam na abhijānīmaḥ
106. With our valiant heroes slain and ourselves cut down by sharp arrows, we do not know what action (kartavya) to take, having been thoroughly defeated by Savyasācin (Arjuna).
पाण्डवास्तु जयं लब्ध्वा परत्र च परां गतिम् ।

sarve parighabāhavaḥ śūrāḥ mahāśaṅkhān dadhmuḥ,

107. But the Pāṇḍavas, having attained victory and the supreme state in the other world, all the valiant heroes, whose arms were like maces, blew their great conch shells. The Somakas, along with the Pañcālas, also greatly rejoiced, O lord of men.
ततस्तूर्यसहस्रेषु नदत्सु सुमहाबलः ।

109. ca api ubhayoḥ senayoḥ gāṅgeye vinipātite (sati),
vīrāḥ śastrāṇi saṃnyasya samantataḥ prādhyāyanta
109. And indeed, with Gaṅgeya (Bhīṣma) having fallen on both sides of the armies, the heroes, laying down their weapons, began to meditate intently in every direction.
प्राक्रोशन्प्रापतंश्चान्ये जग्मुर्मोहं तथापरे ।
क्षत्रं चान्येऽभ्यनिन्दन्त भीष्मं चैकेऽभ्यपूजयन् ॥११०॥
110. prākrośanprāpataṁścānye jagmurmohaṁ tathāpare ,

110. anye prākrośan anye ca prāpatan tathā apare moham jagmuḥ
anye ca kṣatram abhyanindanta eke ca bhīṣmam abhyapūjayan
110. Some cried out, others fell down, and still others fell into a state of delusion. Some criticized the warrior class (kṣatra), while others revered Bhishma.
ऋषयः पितरश्चैव प्रशशंसुर्महाव्रतम् ।
भरतानां च ये पूर्वे ते चैनं प्रशशंसिरे ॥१११॥
111. ṛṣayaḥ pitaraścaiva praśaśaṁsurmahāvratam ,

111. ṛṣayaḥ pitaraḥ ca eva mahāvratam praśaśaṃsuḥ
ye ca bharatānām pūrve te ca enam praśaśaṃsire
111. The sages (ṛṣis) and ancestors (pitṛs) praised Bhishma, the one of great vow. And the ancient ancestors of the Bharatas also praised him.
महोपनिषदं चैव योगमास्थाय वीर्यवान् ।

112. The powerful and wise son of Shantanu (Bhishma), having taken refuge in the profound teachings (upaniṣad) and the discipline (yoga), remained in his position, chanting and longing for his appointed time (of death).
