Sañjaya said: After that, seeing Dhananjaya (Arjuna) wielding his arrows and the Gāṇḍīva bow, the great warriors again let out a tremendous roar.

2.
And the Pāṇḍavas, the Somakas, and their followers – those delighted heroes – all blew their conch shells, which were born from the ocean.

Then, kettledrums, small drums, saw-like instruments, and cow-horns were suddenly struck. Thereupon, a great sound arose.

atha devāḥ sa-gandharvāḥ ca pitaraḥ ca siddha-cāraṇa-saṅghāḥ ca te didṛkṣayā samīyuḥ
4.
O lord of men, then the gods with the Gandharvas, the ancestors (Pitṛs), and the hosts of Siddhas and Caraṇas, they all assembled there, desiring to witness it.
ऋषयश्च महाभागाः पुरस्कृत्य शतक्रतुम् ।

5.
And the highly esteemed sages, placing Indra (Śatakratu) at their forefront, assembled there to witness that great destruction.
ततो युधिष्ठिरो दृष्ट्वा युद्धाय सुसमुद्यते ।

tataḥ yudhiṣṭhiraḥ yuddhāya susamudyate sāgara-prakhye te sene muhuḥ pracalite dṛṣṭvā
6.
O King, then Yudhiṣṭhira, having seen those two armies, well-prepared for battle and resembling vast oceans, repeatedly setting themselves in motion...
विमुच्य कवचं वीरो निक्षिप्य च वरायुधम् ।
अवरुह्य रथात्तूर्णं पद्भ्यामेव कृताञ्जलिः ॥७॥

7.
The hero (Yudhiṣṭhira) quickly removed his armor, discarded his excellent weapon, and descended from the chariot, standing on his own feet with folded hands.
पितामहमभिप्रेक्ष्य धर्मराजो युधिष्ठिरः ।

8.
Yudhiṣṭhira, the King of natural law (dharma), having looked towards his grandfather (Bhīṣma), proceeded silently, facing east, towards the enemy army.

9.
Kuntī's son Arjuna (dhanañjaya), having seen Yudhiṣṭhira proceeding, quickly descended from the chariot and, accompanied by his brothers, followed him.
वासुदेवश्च भगवान्पृष्ठतोऽनुजगाम ह ।
यथामुख्याश्च राजानस्तमन्वाजग्मुरुत्सुकाः ॥१०॥

10.
And Lord Vāsudeva (bhagavān) also followed from behind, while the principal kings, full of eagerness, followed him.

11.
Arjuna said: O King, what is your intention that, after abandoning us, you are going on foot, facing the enemy army?
भीमसेन उवाच ।

12.
Bhīmasena said: O earthly ruler, O Lord of kings, where will you go, having cast aside your armor and weapons, abandoning your brothers, while the enemy armies are arrayed for battle?
नकुल उवाच ।

13.
Nakula said: O Bhārata, with you, my eldest brother, having gone in this manner, fear pains my heart. Tell me, where indeed are you going?
सहदेव उवाच ।

14.
Sahadeva said: O King, while this battle formation, fraught with great danger, is present and combat is necessary, where indeed are you going, facing the enemies?
संजय उवाच ।
एवमाभाष्यमाणोऽपि भ्रातृभिः कुरुनन्दन ।

api vāgyataḥ yudhiṣṭhiraḥ kiṃcit na uvāca eva gacchati
15.
Sanjaya said: O delight of the Kurus (kurunandana)! Even though he was being addressed in this manner by his brothers, Yudhishthira, having restrained his speech, said nothing and simply continued to proceed.
तानुवाच महाप्राज्ञो वासुदेवो महामनाः ।
अभिप्रायोऽस्य विज्ञातो मयेति प्रहसन्निव ॥१६॥
अभिप्रायोऽस्य विज्ञातो मयेति प्रहसन्निव ॥१६॥

abhiprāyaḥ mayā vijñātaḥ iti prahasan iva
abhiprāyaḥ mayā vijñātaḥ iti prahasan iva
16.
The extremely wise (mahāprājña) and magnanimous (mahāmanas) Vasudeva (Krishna) spoke to them, saying, "His intention (abhiprāya) has been understood by me," as if smiling.
एष भीष्मं तथा द्रोणं गौतमं शल्यमेव च ।
अनुमान्य गुरून्सर्वान्योत्स्यते पार्थिवोऽरिभिः ॥१७॥
अनुमान्य गुरून्सर्वान्योत्स्यते पार्थिवोऽरिभिः ॥१७॥

eva ca sarvān gurūn anumānya aribhiḥ yotsyate

17.
This (Yudhishthira) will honor all his elders (gurus) – Bhishma, and Drona, and Gautama (Kripa), and Salya – and then the king (pārthiva) will fight with his enemies.
श्रूयते हि पुराकल्पे गुरूनननुमान्य यः ।
युध्यते स भवेद्व्यक्तमपध्यातो महत्तरैः ॥१८॥
युध्यते स भवेद्व्यक्तमपध्यातो महत्तरैः ॥१८॥
18. śrūyate hi purākalpe gurūnananumānya yaḥ ,

yudhyate sa bhavedvyaktamapadhyāto mahattaraiḥ.
18.
śrūyate hi purākalpe gurūn ananumānya yaḥ yudhyate

18.
hi śrūyate purākalpe yaḥ gurūn ananumānya yudhyate
saḥ vyaktam mahattaraiḥ apadhyātaḥ bhavet
saḥ vyaktam mahattaraiḥ apadhyātaḥ bhavet
18.
Indeed, it is heard (śrūyate) that in ancient times (purākalpe), whoever fights without having obtained the permission of his elders (gurus) will certainly (vyaktam) be cursed by those superior to him.
अनुमान्य यथाशास्त्रं यस्तु युध्येन्महत्तरैः ।
ध्रुवस्तस्य जयो युद्धे भवेदिति मतिर्मम ॥१९॥
ध्रुवस्तस्य जयो युद्धे भवेदिति मतिर्मम ॥१९॥
19. anumānya yathāśāstraṁ yastu yudhyenmahattaraiḥ ,

dhruvastasya jayo yuddhe bhavediti matirmama.
19.
anumānya yathāśāstram yaḥ tu yudhyet mahattaraiḥ
dhruvaḥ tasya jayaḥ yuddhe bhavet iti matiḥ mama
dhruvaḥ tasya jayaḥ yuddhe bhavet iti matiḥ mama
19.
mama matiḥ iti yaḥ tu yathāśāstram anumānya
mahattaraiḥ yudhyet tasya yuddhe jayaḥ dhruvaḥ bhavet
mahattaraiḥ yudhyet tasya yuddhe jayaḥ dhruvaḥ bhavet
19.
My opinion is that whoever fights against superior adversaries, having first obtained permission according to the scriptures, will certainly achieve victory in battle.
एवं ब्रुवति कृष्णे तु धार्तराष्ट्रचमूं प्रति ।
हाहाकारो महानासीन्निःशब्दास्त्वपरेऽभवन् ॥२०॥
हाहाकारो महानासीन्निःशब्दास्त्वपरेऽभवन् ॥२०॥
20. evaṁ bruvati kṛṣṇe tu dhārtarāṣṭracamūṁ prati ,

mahān hāhākaraḥ āsīt tu apare niḥśabdāḥ abhavan
mahān hāhākaraḥ āsīt tu apare niḥśabdāḥ abhavan
20.
When Kṛṣṇa spoke thus to Dhṛtarāṣṭra's army, a great cry of dismay (hāhākara) arose, while others, however, became silent.
दृष्ट्वा युधिष्ठिरं दूराद्धार्तराष्ट्रस्य सैनिकाः ।

mithaḥ saṃkathayām cakruḥ eṣaḥ kulapāṃsanaḥ na asti
mithaḥ saṃkathayām cakruḥ eṣaḥ kulapāṃsanaḥ na asti
21.
Having seen Yudhiṣṭhira from afar, the soldiers of Dhṛtarāṣṭra conversed among themselves: 'This is not the family disgracer!'
व्यक्तं भीत इवाभ्येति राजासौ भीष्ममन्तिकात् ।
युधिष्ठिरः ससोदर्यः शरणार्थं प्रयाचकः ॥२२॥
युधिष्ठिरः ससोदर्यः शरणार्थं प्रयाचकः ॥२२॥
22. vyaktaṁ bhīta ivābhyeti rājāsau bhīṣmamantikāt ,

yudhiṣṭhiraḥ sasodaryaḥ śaraṇārthaṁ prayācakaḥ.
22.

iva śaraṇārtham prayācakaḥ bhīṣmam antikāt abhyeti
iva śaraṇārtham prayācakaḥ bhīṣmam antikāt abhyeti
22.
It is clear that this king Yudhiṣṭhira, accompanied by his brothers, is approaching Bhīṣma from close by, as if frightened, as a supplicant seeking refuge.
धनंजये कथं नाथे पाण्डवे च वृकोदरे ।
नकुले सहदेवे च भीतोऽभ्येति च पाण्डवः ॥२३॥

23.
How can a Pāṇḍava (Yudhiṣṭhira) become afraid when Dhanaṃjaya (Arjuna), Pāṇḍava (Arjuna), Vṛkodara (Bhīma), Nakula, and Sahadeva are his protectors?
न नूनं क्षत्रियकुले जातः संप्रथिते भुवि ।

yathā na nūnaṃ saṃprathite bhuvi kṣatriyakule jātaḥ
yathā na nūnaṃ saṃprathite bhuvi kṣatriyakule jātaḥ
24.
Surely, he was not born in a renowned kṣatriya family on earth, given how his faint-hearted heart is so afraid in battle.
ततस्ते क्षत्रियाः सर्वे प्रशंसन्ति स्म कौरवान् ।
हृष्टाः सुमनसो भूत्वा चैलानि दुधुवुः पृथक् ॥२५॥
हृष्टाः सुमनसो भूत्वा चैलानि दुधुवुः पृथक् ॥२५॥

hṛṣṭāḥ sumanasaḥ bhūtvā pṛthak cailāni dudhuvuḥ
hṛṣṭāḥ sumanasaḥ bhūtvā pṛthak cailāni dudhuvuḥ
25.
Then, all those kṣatriyas (warriors) praised the Kauravas. Having become joyful and cheerful, they separately shook their garments.
व्यनिन्दन्त ततः सर्वे योधास्तत्र विशां पते ।
युधिष्ठिरं ससोदर्यं सहितं केशवेन ह ॥२६॥

26.
Then, O lord of the people (king), all the warriors there indeed reproached Yudhiṣṭhira, who was accompanied by his (uterine) brothers and by Keśava (Krishna).
ततस्तत्कौरवं सैन्यं धिक्कृत्वा तु युधिष्ठिरम् ।

tataḥ,

yudhiṣṭhiram dhikkṛtvā,
tat kauravam sainyam punar eva tūrṇam niḥśabdam abhavat.
27.
O lord of men, then, after Yudhiṣṭhira had reproached that Kuru army, it quickly became silent again.

28.
What, indeed, will that king say? What will Bhīṣma reply? What will Bhīma, who prides himself in battle, say? And what, indeed, will Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna (Kṛṣṇārjunau) say?

29.
O King, then a very great doubt arose in both armies regarding Yudhiṣṭhira's intentions, [thinking] 'What is his purpose?'

30.
He (Yudhiṣṭhira), accompanied by his brothers, quickly entered the enemy's army, which was teeming with arrows and spears, and approached Bhīṣma himself.
तमुवाच ततः पादौ कराभ्यां पीड्य पाण्डवः ।

31.
Then, King Yudhiṣṭhira, the Pāṇḍava, after reverently touching Bhīṣma’s feet with his hands, spoke to the son of Śāntanu, who stood ready for battle.

A person is a slave of wealth, but wealth is not a slave to anyone. This is the truth, O great king: I am bound by wealth by the Kauravas.

"But once Bhīṣma is slain, O son of Rādhā, you will return to battle, if you deem assistance to Dhṛtarāṣṭra's son (Duryodhana) appropriate."

Karna said: O Keśava, I will not do anything displeasing to Dhṛtarāṣṭra's son (Duryodhana). Indeed, know me as one who has forsaken his life, desiring the welfare of Duryodhana.

Saṃjaya said: O Bhārata (Dhṛtarāṣṭra), hearing that speech, Krishna returned, accompanied by the Pāṇḍavas, led by Yudhiṣṭhira.

Then, in the midst of the army, the eldest of the Pāṇḍavas (Yudhiṣṭhira) cried out: "Whoever chooses us, him I will choose for the sake of assistance."

Then, having observed them, Yuyutsu, with a pleased soul (ātman), spoke this to King Dharma (dharmarāja), Yudhiṣṭhira, the son of Kunti.

O great king, blameless one (anagha), if you choose me, I will fight the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra in battle for your sake, even while they look on.

Sanjaya said: Then Yuyutsu, a descendant of Kuru, abandoning your sons, went to the army of the Pāṇḍavas after sounding a war drum (dundubhi).

Then King Yudhiṣṭhira, greatly pleased with his younger brothers, again took up his radiant armor, which was gleaming with gold.

All of those excellent men (puruṣarṣabhāḥ) returned to their own chariots. Then, they again arranged their battle formations (vyūha) as they had done previously.

And the excellent men (puruṣarṣabhāḥ) caused hundreds of drums (dundubhi, puṣkara) to sound, and they roared various lion-like battle cries (siṃhanāda).

When the kings, including Dhṛṣṭadyumna and others, saw the Pāṇḍavas - those tiger-like men (puruṣavyāghrān) standing on their chariots - they all rejoiced again with great delight.

There, the kings (mahīkṣitaḥ), upon seeing (dṛṣṭvā) the great stature (gauravam) of the Pāṇḍava sons (pāṇḍuputrāṇām) - those venerable individuals (mānyān) who were themselves honoring (mānayatām) (others) - paid them immense (bhṛśam) homage (pūjayām cakrire).

Everywhere (sarvatra), sacred (puṇyāḥ) words (vācaḥ) filled with praise (stutisaṃhitāḥ), saying "Excellent! Excellent!" (sādhu sādhu iti) and gladdening the mind and heart (manohṛdayaharṣiṇīḥ), emerged (niśceruḥ) in praise of the glorious ones (kīrtimatām).

Then, both the foreigners (mlecchāḥ) and the noble ones (āryāḥ) who were present there saw and heard that event concerning the sons of Pāṇḍu, and they wept, their voices choked with emotion.

Then, the high-minded and joyous warriors beat hundreds of great drums (mahābherīḥ) and other drums (puṣkarān), and they blew conches as white as cow's milk.
