24. O best of the Śinis, though you are set against me, and I am against you, indeed, you are dearer to me than my very life, and I am always yours.

adya krodhalobhābhyām anyat kim (kāraṇam yena) tvā yudhyāmi?
25. I recall all those childhood incidents that happened between us two. Now, all those are cast aside between us on the battlefield. What else, apart from anger and greed, makes me fight you today, O Sātvata?

29. nu naḥ kṛtyam dhanena dhanalipsayā kim vidyate
yatra sarve dhanalobhāt samāgatāḥ yudhyāmahe
29. Indeed, what business do we have with wealth or with the desire for wealth? We have all gathered and are fighting because of greed for wealth.
संजय उवाच ।
तं तथावादिनं तत्र राजानं माधवोऽब्रवीत् ।
एवंवृत्तं सदा क्षत्रं यद्धन्तीह गुरूनपि ॥३०॥

33. iti evam vyaktam ābhāṣya ca pratibhāṣya,
sātyakiḥ tūrṇam avyagraḥ nirapekṣaḥ abhyayāt viśām pate
33. Having thus spoken clearly and having also replied, Sātyaki, swift and undisturbed, advanced, O Lord of the people, without expectation.
तमायान्तमभिप्रेक्ष्य प्रत्यगृह्णात्तवात्मजः ।
शरैश्चावाकिरद्राजञ्शैनेयं तनयस्तव ॥३४॥

35. tataḥ anyonyam kruddhayoḥ kurūmādhavasiṃhayoḥ
ghoram yuddham dviradasiṃhayoḥ yathā pravavṛte
35. Then, a dreadful battle commenced between the lion-like Kuru (Duryodhana) and the lion-like Mādhava (Sātyaki), both intensely enraged at each other, much like a confrontation between an elephant and a lion.
ततः पूर्णायतोत्सृष्टैः सात्वतं युद्धदुर्मदम् ।
दुर्योधनः प्रत्यविध्यद्दशभिर्निशितैः शरैः ॥३६॥
36. tataḥ pūrṇāyatotsṛṣṭaiḥ sātvataṁ yuddhadurmadam ,

36. tataḥ duryodhanaḥ yuddhadurmadam sātvatam
pūrṇāyatotsṛṣṭaiḥ daśabhiḥ niśitaiḥ śaraiḥ pratyavidhyat
36. Then Duryodhana, using ten sharp arrows shot with a full draw of his bow, pierced Sātyaki, who was fierce and exhilarated in battle.
तं सात्यकिः प्रत्यविध्यत्तथैव दशभिः शरैः ।
पञ्चाशता पुनश्चाजौ त्रिंशता दशभिश्च ह ॥३७॥
37. taṁ sātyakiḥ pratyavidhyattathaiva daśabhiḥ śaraiḥ ,

37. tam sātyakiḥ pratyavidhyat tathaiva daśabhiḥ śaraiḥ

37. sātyakiḥ tathaiva daśabhiḥ śaraiḥ tam pratyavidhyat
ca punaḥ ājau pañcāśatā triṃśatā ca daśabhiḥ ha
37. Sātyaki, in turn, pierced him with ten arrows in the same manner. And again in that battle, he struck him with fifty, then with thirty, and truly, with another ten arrows.
तस्य संदधतश्चेषून्संहितेषुं च कार्मुकम् ।

38. sātyakiḥ tasya iṣūn saṃhitam iṣum ca kārmukam ca
saṃdadhataḥ tūrṇam acchinat ca eva śaraiḥ abhyavīvṛṣat
38. As he was fitting arrows and a strung arrow to his bow, Satyaki swiftly severed [his weapons] and also showered him with arrows.

39. mahārāja duryodhanaḥ saḥ gāḍhaviddhaḥ vyathitaḥ
dāśārhaśarapīḍitaḥ rathāntaram pratyapāyāt
39. O great king, Duryodhana, deeply wounded and distressed, and afflicted by the arrows of the Daśārha [Satyaki], retreated to another chariot.
समाश्वस्य तु पुत्रस्ते सात्यकिं पुनरभ्ययात् ।
विसृजन्निषुजालानि युयुधानरथं प्रति ॥४०॥
40. samāśvasya tu putraste sātyakiṁ punarabhyayāt ,

40. samāśvasya tu putraḥ te sātyakim punaḥ abhyayāt
visṛjan iṣujālāni yuyudhānaratham prati
40. tu te putraḥ samāśvasya punaḥ sātyakim
yuyudhānaratham prati iṣujālāni visṛjan abhyayāt
40. But your son [Duryodhana], having recovered, again approached Satyaki, releasing volleys of arrows towards Yuyudhana's [Satyaki's] chariot.
तथैव सात्यकिर्बाणान्दुर्योधनरथं प्रति ।
प्रततं व्यसृजद्राजंस्तत्संकुलमवर्तत ॥४१॥

41. rājan tathā eva sātyakiḥ duryodhanaratham prati
bāṇān pratatam vyasṛjat tat saṅkulam avartata
41. Just so, O king, Satyaki also continuously discharged arrows towards Duryodhana's chariot. That (battle) became tumultuous.

अग्नेरिव महाकक्षे शब्दः समभवन्महान् ॥४२॥

42. tatra samantataḥ kṣipyamāṇaiḥ patadbhiḥ ca iṣubhiḥ
agneḥ mahākakṣe iva mahān śabdaḥ samabhavat
42. There arose a great sound, resembling that of a vast dry forest (mahākakṣa) engulfed in fire, due to arrows being shot and falling from all directions.
तत्राभ्यधिकमालक्ष्य माधवं रथसत्तमम् ।
क्षिप्रमभ्यपतत्कर्णः परीप्संस्तनयं तव ॥४३॥
43. tatrābhyadhikamālakṣya mādhavaṁ rathasattamam ,

43. tatra rathasattamam mādhavaṃ abhyadhikam ālakṣya
karṇaḥ tava tanayaṃ parīpsan kṣipram abhyapatat
43. There, perceiving Mādhava (Kṛṣṇa), the best of charioteers (rathasattama), to be exceedingly powerful, Karṇa quickly rushed forward, desiring to protect your son.
न तु तं मर्षयामास भीमसेनो महाबलः ।
अभ्ययात्त्वरितः कर्णं विसृजन्सायकान्बहून् ॥४४॥
44. na tu taṁ marṣayāmāsa bhīmaseno mahābalaḥ ,

44. na tu taṃ marṣayāmāsa bhīmasenaḥ mahābalaḥ

44. tu mahābalaḥ bhīmasenaḥ taṃ na marṣayāmāsa tvaritaḥ
(saḥ) sāyakān bahūn visṛjan karṇaṃ abhyayāt
44. However, the mighty Bhīmasena did not tolerate that; he swiftly advanced upon Karṇa, releasing many arrows.
तस्य कर्णः शितान्बाणान्प्रतिहन्य हसन्निव ।
धनुः शरांश्च चिच्छेद सूतं चाभ्यहनच्छरैः ॥४५॥
45. tasya karṇaḥ śitānbāṇānpratihanya hasanniva ,

45. karṇaḥ hasan iva tasya śitān bāṇān pratihanya (tasya) dhanuḥ
ca śarān ca ciccheda (tasya) sūtam ca śaraiḥ abhyahanat
45. Karṇa, as if laughing, countered (Bhīmasena's) sharp arrows, then cut his (Bhīmasena's) bow and arrows, and struck his (Bhīmasena's) charioteer with (his own) arrows.
भीमसेनस्तु संक्रुद्धो गदामादाय पाण्डवः ।
ध्वजं धनुश्च सूतं च संममर्दाहवे रिपोः ॥४६॥
46. bhīmasenastu saṁkruddho gadāmādāya pāṇḍavaḥ ,

46. bhīmasenaḥ tu saṃkruddhaḥ gadām ādāya pāṇḍavaḥ

46. saṃkruddhaḥ pāṇḍavaḥ bhīmasenaḥ tu gadām ādāya
āhave ripoḥ dhvajam dhanuḥ ca sūtam ca saṃmamarda
46. Enraged, the Pandava Bhimasena, taking his mace, crushed the enemy's banner, bow, and charioteer in the battle.
अमृष्यमाणः कर्णस्तु भीमसेनमयुध्यत ।
विविधैरिषुजालैश्च नानाशस्त्रैश्च संयुगे ॥४७॥

47. amṛṣyamāṇaḥ karṇaḥ tu bhīmasenam ayudhyata
vividhaiḥ iṣujālaiḥ ca nānāśastraiḥ ca saṃyuge
47. tu amṛṣyamāṇaḥ karṇaḥ संयुगे vividhaiḥ iṣujālaiḥ
ca nānāśastraiḥ ca bhīmasenam ayudhyata
47. But Karṇa, unable to endure (Bhimasena's actions), fought Bhimasena in battle with various volleys of arrows and diverse weapons.
संकुले वर्तमाने तु राजा धर्मसुतोऽब्रवीत् ।
पाञ्चालानां नरव्याघ्रान्मत्स्यानां च नरर्षभान् ॥४८॥

48. tu saṃkule vartamāne rājā dharmasutaḥ pāñcālānām
naravyāghrān matsyānām ca nararṣabhān abravīt
48. While the tumult was ongoing, King Yudhishthira, the son of (dharma), addressed the foremost warriors of the Pañcālas and the Matsyas.

te ete puruṣarṣabhāḥ dhārtarāṣṭreṣu viṣaktāḥ
49. These foremost among men, who are our very lives, our leaders, and our mighty warriors, are fully engaged with the sons of Dhritarashtra (Dhārtarāṣṭras).

जित्वा च बहुभिर्यज्ञैर्यक्ष्यध्वं भूरिदक्षिणैः ।

नैष युद्धेन संग्रामे जेतुं शक्यः कथंचन ।
अपि वृत्रहणा युद्धे रथयूथपयूथपः ॥६७॥
67. naiṣa yuddhena saṁgrāme jetuṁ śakyaḥ kathaṁcana ,
api vṛtrahaṇā yuddhe rathayūthapayūthapaḥ.
67. na eṣaḥ yuddhena saṅgrāme jetum śakyaḥ kathaṃcana
api vṛtrahaṇā yuddhe rathayūthapayūthapaḥ
67. eṣaḥ rathayūthapayūthapaḥ saṅgrāme yuddhena
kathaṃcana jetum śakyaḥ na api vṛtrahaṇā yuddhe
67. This one (Droṇa), the leader among the leaders of chariot divisions, cannot be conquered in battle by any means, not even by Vṛtrahaṇ (Indra) himself.
आस्थीयतां जये योगो धर्ममुत्सृज्य पाण्डव ।
यथा वः संयुगे सर्वान्न हन्याद्रुक्मवाहनः ॥६८॥
68. āsthīyatāṁ jaye yogo dharmamutsṛjya pāṇḍava ,
yathā vaḥ saṁyuge sarvānna hanyādrukmavāhanaḥ.
68. āsthīyatām jaye yogaḥ dharmam utsṛjya pāṇḍava
yathā vaḥ saṃyuge sarvān na hanyāt rukmavāhanaḥ
68. pāṇḍava jaye yogaḥ āsthīyatām dharmam utsṛjya
yathā rukmavāhanaḥ saṃyuge vaḥ sarvān na hanyāt
68. O Pāṇḍava, let a strategy (yoga) for victory be adopted, abandoning natural law (dharma), so that he of the golden chariot (Droṇa) does not kill all of you in battle.
अश्वत्थाम्नि हते नैष युध्येदिति मतिर्मम ।
तं हतं संयुगे कश्चिदस्मै शंसतु मानवः ॥६९॥
69. aśvatthāmni hate naiṣa yudhyediti matirmama ,
taṁ hataṁ saṁyuge kaścidasmai śaṁsatu mānavaḥ.
69. aśvatthāmni hate na eṣaḥ yudhyet iti matiḥ mama
tam hatam saṃyuge kaścit asmai śaṃsatu mānavaḥ
69. aśvatthāmni hate eṣaḥ na yudhyet iti mama matiḥ
kaścit mānavaḥ saṃyuge tam hatam asmai śaṃsatu
69. It is my opinion that this one (Droṇa) would not fight if Aśvatthāman were killed. Therefore, let some man announce to him that he (Aśvatthāman) has been killed in battle.
एतन्नारोचयद्राजन्कुन्तीपुत्रो धनंजयः ।
अन्ये त्वरोचयन्सर्वे कृच्छ्रेण तु युधिष्ठिरः ॥७०॥
70. etannārocayadrājankuntīputro dhanaṁjayaḥ ,
anye tvarocayansarve kṛcchreṇa tu yudhiṣṭhiraḥ.
70. etat na arocayat rājan kuntīputraḥ dhanaṃjayaḥ
anye tu arocayan sarve kṛcchreṇa tu yudhiṣṭhiraḥ
70. rājan kuntīputraḥ dhanaṃjayaḥ etat na arocayat
tu anye sarve arocayan yudhiṣṭhiraḥ tu kṛcchreṇa
70. O king, Arjuna (Dhanaṃjaya), the son of Kunti, did not approve of this. But all the others did approve, and Yudhishthira approved only with great difficulty.
ततो भीमो महाबाहुरनीके स्वे महागजम् ।
जघान गदया राजन्नश्वत्थामानमित्युत ॥७१॥
71. tato bhīmo mahābāhuranīke sve mahāgajam ,
jaghāna gadayā rājannaśvatthāmānamityuta.
71. tataḥ bhīmaḥ mahābāhuḥ anīke sve mahāgajam
jaghāna gadayā rājan aśvatthāmānam iti uta
71. rājan tataḥ mahābāhuḥ bhīmaḥ sve anīke gadayā
mahāgajam aśvatthāmānam iti uta jaghāna
71. O king, thereupon, the mighty-armed Bhima killed a great elephant in his own army with his mace. Its name was Ashwatthaman, it is said.
भीमसेनस्तु सव्रीडमुपेत्य द्रोणमाहवे ।
अश्वत्थामा हत इति शब्दमुच्चैश्चकार ह ॥७२॥
72. bhīmasenastu savrīḍamupetya droṇamāhave ,
aśvatthāmā hata iti śabdamuccaiścakāra ha.
72. bhīmasenaḥ tu savrīḍam upetya droṇam āhave
aśvatthāmā hataḥ iti śabdam uccaiḥ cakāra ha
72. tu bhīmasenaḥ savrīḍam upetya āhave droṇam
aśvatthāmā hataḥ iti śabdam uccaiḥ ha cakāra
72. And Bhimasena, shamefully approaching Drona in the battle, loudly cried out, 'Ashwatthaman (Aśvatthāmā) is dead!'
अश्वत्थामेति हि गजः ख्यातो नाम्ना हतोऽभवत् ।
कृत्वा मनसि तं भीमो मिथ्या व्याहृतवांस्तदा ॥७३॥
73. aśvatthāmeti hi gajaḥ khyāto nāmnā hato'bhavat ,
kṛtvā manasi taṁ bhīmo mithyā vyāhṛtavāṁstadā.
73. aśvatthāmā iti hi gajaḥ khyātaḥ nāmnā hataḥ abhavat
kṛtvā manasi tam bhīmaḥ mithyā vyāhṛtavān tadā
73. hi gajaḥ aśvatthāmā iti nāmnā khyātaḥ hataḥ abhavat
bhīmaḥ tam manasi kṛtvā tadā mithyā vyāhṛtavān
73. Indeed, an elephant known by the name Ashwatthaman (Aśvatthāmā) had been killed. Bearing that fact in mind, Bhima then spoke falsely.
भीमसेनवचः श्रुत्वा द्रोणस्तत्परमप्रियम् ।
मनसा सन्नगात्रोऽभूद्यथा सैकतमम्भसि ॥७४॥
74. bhīmasenavacaḥ śrutvā droṇastatparamapriyam ,
manasā sannagātro'bhūdyathā saikatamambhasi.
74. bhīmasenavacaḥ śrutvā droṇaḥ tat paramapriyam
manasā sannagātraḥ abhūt yathā saikatam ambhasi
74. droṇaḥ bhīmasenavacaḥ tat paramapriyam śrutvā
manasā sannagātraḥ abhūt yathā saikatam ambhasi
74. Upon hearing Bhimasena's words – which were, ironically, most pleasing – Drona's limbs became weak in his mind, like a sandbank dissolving in water.
शङ्कमानः स तन्मिथ्या वीर्यज्ञः स्वसुतस्य वै ।
हतः स इति च श्रुत्वा नैव धैर्यादकम्पत ॥७५॥
75. śaṅkamānaḥ sa tanmithyā vīryajñaḥ svasutasya vai ,
hataḥ sa iti ca śrutvā naiva dhairyādakampata.
75. śaṅkamānaḥ sa tat mithyā vīryajñaḥ svasutasya vai
hataḥ sa iti ca śrutvā na eva dhairyāt akampata
75. sa svasutasya vīryajñaḥ tat mithyā vai śaṅkamānaḥ
ca sa hataḥ iti śrutvā dhairyāt na eva akampata
75. He, knowing the valor of his own son, suspected that it was indeed false. And even upon hearing 'he is killed', he did not waver from his steadfastness (dhairya) at all.
स लब्ध्वा चेतनां द्रोणः क्षणेनैव समाश्वसत् ।
अनुचिन्त्यात्मनः पुत्रमविषह्यमरातिभिः ॥७६॥
76. sa labdhvā cetanāṁ droṇaḥ kṣaṇenaiva samāśvasat ,
anucintyātmanaḥ putramaviṣahyamarātibhiḥ.
76. sa labdhvā cetanām droṇaḥ kṣaṇena eva samāśvasat
anucintya ātmanaḥ putram aviṣahyam arātibhiḥ
76. droṇaḥ cetanām labdhvā kṣaṇena eva samāśvasat
ātmanaḥ putram arātibhiḥ aviṣahyam anucintya
76. Drona, having regained his consciousness, instantly recovered. He did so after reflecting upon his own son (ātman), who was unconquerable by enemies.
स पार्षतमभिद्रुत्य जिघांसुर्मृत्युमात्मनः ।
अवाकिरत्सहस्रेण तीक्ष्णानां कङ्कपत्रिणाम् ॥७७॥
77. sa pārṣatamabhidrutya jighāṁsurmṛtyumātmanaḥ ,
avākiratsahasreṇa tīkṣṇānāṁ kaṅkapatriṇām.
77. sa pārṣatam abhidrutya jighāṃsuḥ mṛtyum ātmanaḥ
avākirat sahasreṇa tīkṣṇānām kaṅkapatriṇām
77. sa ātmanaḥ mṛtyum jighāṃsuḥ pārṣatam abhidrutya
sahasreṇa tīkṣṇānām kaṅkapatriṇām avākirat
77. He, desirous of his own (ātman) death (mṛtyu), rushed towards Dhrishtadyumna (Pārṣata's son) and showered him with a thousand sharp arrows feathered with heron plumes.
तं वै विंशतिसाहस्राः पाञ्चालानां नरर्षभाः ।
तथा चरन्तं संग्रामे सर्वतो व्यकिरञ्शरैः ॥७८॥
78. taṁ vai viṁśatisāhasrāḥ pāñcālānāṁ nararṣabhāḥ ,
tathā carantaṁ saṁgrāme sarvato vyakirañśaraiḥ.
78. tam vai viṃśatisāhasrāḥ pāñcālānām nararṣabhāḥ
tathā carantam saṃgrāme sarvataḥ vyakiran śaraiḥ
78. tam vai pāñcālānām viṃśatisāhasrāḥ nararṣabhāḥ
tathā saṃgrāme carantam sarvataḥ śaraiḥ vyakiran
78. Indeed, twenty thousand foremost men of the Panchalas, while he was thus fighting in the battle, showered him with arrows from all sides.
ततः प्रादुष्करोद्द्रोणो ब्राह्ममस्त्रं परंतपः ।
वधाय तेषां शूराणां पाञ्चालानाममर्षितः ॥७९॥
79. tataḥ prāduṣkaroddroṇo brāhmamastraṁ paraṁtapaḥ ,
vadhāya teṣāṁ śūrāṇāṁ pāñcālānāmamarṣitaḥ.
79. tataḥ prāduṣkarot droṇaḥ brāhmam astram paraṃtapaḥ
vadhāya teṣām śūrāṇām pāñcālānām amarṣitaḥ
79. tataḥ amarṣitaḥ paraṃtapaḥ droṇaḥ teṣām śūrāṇām
pāñcālānām vadhāya brāhmam astram prāduṣkarot
79. Then, Drona, the tormentor of foes, enraged, manifested the divine weapon (brahma-astra) for the destruction of those brave Panchala warriors.
ततो व्यरोचत द्रोणो विनिघ्नन्सर्वसोमकान् ।
शिरांस्यपातयच्चापि पाञ्चालानां महामृधे ।
तथैव परिघाकारान्बाहून्कनकभूषणान् ॥८०॥
80. tato vyarocata droṇo vinighnansarvasomakān ,
śirāṁsyapātayaccāpi pāñcālānāṁ mahāmṛdhe ,
tathaiva parighākārānbāhūnkanakabhūṣaṇān.
80. tataḥ vyarocata droṇaḥ vinighnan

80. tataḥ droṇaḥ sarvasomakān vinighnan
vyarocata ca api mahāmṛdhe
pāñcālānām śirāṃsi tathā eva parighākārān
kanakabhūṣaṇān bāhūn apātayat
80. Then Drona shone gloriously as he slew all the Somakas. In that great battle, he also cut off the heads of the Panchalas, and likewise their arms, which resembled maces and were adorned with gold.
ते वध्यमानाः समरे भारद्वाजेन पार्थिवाः ।
मेदिन्यामन्वकीर्यन्त वातनुन्ना इव द्रुमाः ॥८१॥
81. te vadhyamānāḥ samare bhāradvājena pārthivāḥ ,
medinyāmanvakīryanta vātanunnā iva drumāḥ.
81. te vadhyamānāḥ samare bhāradvājena pārthivāḥ
medinyām anvakīryanta vātanunnāḥ iva drumāḥ
81. samare bhāradvājena vadhyamānāḥ te pārthivāḥ
vātanunnāḥ drumāḥ iva medinyām anvakīryanta
81. Those kings, being slain in battle by Drona (Bhāradvāja), fell upon the earth like trees scattered by the wind.
कुञ्जराणां च पततां हयौघानां च भारत ।
अगम्यरूपा पृथिवी मांसशोणितकर्दमा ॥८२॥
82. kuñjarāṇāṁ ca patatāṁ hayaughānāṁ ca bhārata ,
agamyarūpā pṛthivī māṁsaśoṇitakardamā.
82. kuñjarāṇām ca patatām hayaughānām ca bhārata
agamyarūpā pṛthivī māṃsaśoṇitakardamā
82. bhārata,
kuñjarāṇām patatām ca hayaughānām ca,
pṛthivī agamyarūpā māṃsaśoṇitakardamā
82. The earth became impassable, O Bhārata, having mud of flesh and blood, due to the falling elephants and hosts of horses.
हत्वा विंशतिसाहस्रान्पाञ्चालानां रथव्रजान् ।
अतिष्ठदाहवे द्रोणो विधूमोऽग्निरिव ज्वलन् ॥८३॥
83. hatvā viṁśatisāhasrānpāñcālānāṁ rathavrajān ,
atiṣṭhadāhave droṇo vidhūmo'gniriva jvalan.
83. hatvā viṃśatisāhasrān pāñcālānām rathavrajān
atiṣṭhat āhave droṇaḥ vidhūmaḥ agniḥ iva jvalan
83. pāñcālānām viṃśatisāhasrān rathavrajān hatvā,
droṇaḥ āhave vidhūmaḥ agniḥ iva jvalan atiṣṭhat
83. Having slain twenty thousand charioteers of the Pañcālas, Droṇa stood in battle, blazing like a smokeless fire.
तथैव च पुनः क्रुद्धो भारद्वाजः प्रतापवान् ।
वसुदानस्य भल्लेन शिरः कायादपाहरत् ॥८४॥
84. tathaiva ca punaḥ kruddho bhāradvājaḥ pratāpavān ,
vasudānasya bhallena śiraḥ kāyādapāharat.
84. tathaiva ca punaḥ kruddhaḥ bhāradvājaḥ pratāpavān
vasudānasya bhallena śiraḥ kāyāt apāharat
84. tathaiva ca punaḥ,
kruddhaḥ pratāpavān bhāradvājaḥ vasudānasya śiraḥ kāyāt bhallena apāharat
84. And similarly, the mighty Bhāradvāja (Droṇa), enraged once more, severed Vasudāna's head from his body with a broad-headed arrow.
पुनः पञ्चशतान्मत्स्यान्षट्सहस्रांश्च सृञ्जयान् ।
हस्तिनामयुतं हत्वा जघानाश्वायुतं पुनः ॥८५॥
85. punaḥ pañcaśatānmatsyānṣaṭsahasrāṁśca sṛñjayān ,
hastināmayutaṁ hatvā jaghānāśvāyutaṁ punaḥ.
85. punaḥ pañcaśatān matsyān ṣaṭsahasrān ca sṛñjayān
hastinām ayutam hatvā jaghāna aśvāyutam punaḥ
85. punaḥ,
pañcaśatān matsyān ca ṣaṭsahasrān sṛñjayān,
hastinām ayutam hatvā,
punaḥ aśvāyutam jaghāna
85. Moreover, having slain five hundred Matsyas and six thousand Sṛñjayas, and ten thousand elephants, he further killed ten thousand horses.
क्षत्रियाणामभावाय दृष्ट्वा द्रोणमवस्थितम् ।
ऋषयोऽभ्यागमंस्तूर्णं हव्यवाहपुरोगमाः ॥८६॥
86. kṣatriyāṇāmabhāvāya dṛṣṭvā droṇamavasthitam ,
ṛṣayo'bhyāgamaṁstūrṇaṁ havyavāhapurogamāḥ.
86. kṣatriyāṇām abhāvāya dṛṣṭvā droṇam avasthitam
ṛṣayaḥ abhyāgaman tūrṇam havyavāha-purogamāḥ
86. droṇam kṣatriyāṇām abhāvāya avasthitam dṛṣṭvā
havyavāha-purogamāḥ ṛṣayaḥ tūrṇam abhyāgaman
86. Seeing Droṇa standing ready for the annihilation of the kṣatriyas, the sages, led by Havyavāha (Agni), quickly came.
विश्वामित्रो जमदग्निर्भारद्वाजोऽथ गौतमः ।
वसिष्ठः कश्यपोऽत्रिश्च ब्रह्मलोकं निनीषवः ॥८७॥
87. viśvāmitro jamadagnirbhāradvājo'tha gautamaḥ ,
vasiṣṭhaḥ kaśyapo'triśca brahmalokaṁ ninīṣavaḥ.
87. viśvāmitraḥ jamadagniḥ bhāradvājaḥ atha gautamaḥ
vasiṣṭhaḥ kaśyapaḥ atriḥ ca brahmalokam ninīṣavaḥ
87. atha viśvāmitraḥ jamadagniḥ bhāradvājaḥ gautamaḥ
vasiṣṭhaḥ kaśyapaḥ atriḥ ca brahmalokam ninīṣavaḥ
87. Then Viśvāmitra, Jamadagni, Bhāradvāja, Gautama, Vasiṣṭha, Kaśyapa, and Atri, all desirous of taking him to the world of Brahmā (brahman), were present.
सिकताः पृश्नयो गर्गा बालखिल्या मरीचिपाः ।
भृगवोऽङ्गिरसश्चैव सूक्ष्माश्चान्ये महर्षयः ॥८८॥
88. sikatāḥ pṛśnayo gargā bālakhilyā marīcipāḥ ,
bhṛgavo'ṅgirasaścaiva sūkṣmāścānye maharṣayaḥ.
88. sikatāḥ pṛśnayaḥ gargāḥ bālakhilyāḥ marīcipāḥ
bhṛgavaḥ aṅgirasaḥ ca eva sūkṣmāḥ ca anye maharṣayaḥ
88. sikatāḥ pṛśnayaḥ gargāḥ bālakhilyāḥ marīcipāḥ
bhṛgavaḥ aṅgirasaḥ ca eva anye ca sūkṣmāḥ maharṣayaḥ
88. Sikatas, Pṛśnis, Gargas, Bālakhilyas, Marīcipas, Bhṛgus, Aṅgirasas, and indeed other subtle great sages, were also there.
त एनमब्रुवन्सर्वे द्रोणमाहवशोभिनम् ।
अधर्मतः कृतं युद्धं समयो निधनस्य ते ॥८९॥
89. ta enamabruvansarve droṇamāhavaśobhinam ,
adharmataḥ kṛtaṁ yuddhaṁ samayo nidhanasya te.
89. te enam abruvan sarve droṇam āhava-śobhinam
adharmataḥ kṛtam yuddham samayaḥ nidhanasya te
89. sarve te āhava-śobhinam droṇam enam abruvan: yuddham adharmataḥ kṛtam,
te nidhanasya samayaḥ
89. All of them spoke to Droṇa, who was resplendent in battle: 'This war has been waged contrary to natural law (dharma). The time for your death has come.'
न्यस्यायुधं रणे द्रोण समेत्यास्मानवस्थितान् ।
नातः क्रूरतरं कर्म पुनः कर्तुं त्वमर्हसि ॥९०॥
90. nyasyāyudhaṁ raṇe droṇa sametyāsmānavasthitān ,
nātaḥ krūrataraṁ karma punaḥ kartuṁ tvamarhasi.
90. nyasya āyudham raṇe droṇa sametya asmān avasthitān
na ataḥ krūrataram karma punaḥ kartum tvam arhasi
90. droṇa tvam raṇe āyudham nyasya asmān avasthitān
sametya ataḥ krūrataram karma punaḥ kartum na arhasi
90. O Drona, having laid down your weapons in battle and approached us who stand here, you should not commit a deed (karma) crueler than this again.
वेदवेदाङ्गविदुषः सत्यधर्मपरस्य च ।
ब्राह्मणस्य विशेषेण तवैतन्नोपपद्यते ॥९१॥
91. vedavedāṅgaviduṣaḥ satyadharmaparasya ca ,
brāhmaṇasya viśeṣeṇa tavaitannopapadyate.
91. vedavedāṅgaviduṣaḥ satyadharmaparasya ca
brāhmaṇasya viśeṣeṇa tava etat na upapadyate
91. etat tava vedavedāṅgaviduṣaḥ ca satyadharmaparasya
brāhmaṇasya viśeṣeṇa na upapadyate
91. This deed of yours is not fitting, especially for a Brahmin who is knowledgeable in the Vedas and Vedangas, and devoted to truth and natural law (dharma).
न्यस्यायुधममोघेषो तिष्ठ वर्त्मनि शाश्वते ।
परिपूर्णश्च कालस्ते वस्तुं लोकेऽद्य मानुषे ॥९२॥
92. nyasyāyudhamamogheṣo tiṣṭha vartmani śāśvate ,

92. nyasya āyudham amogheṣaḥ tiṣṭha vartmani śāśvate
paripūrṇaḥ ca kālaḥ te vastum loke adya mānuṣe
92. amogheṣaḥ āyudham nyasya śāśvate vartmani tiṣṭha
ca te kālaḥ vastum adya mānuṣe loke paripūrṇaḥ
92. O you of unfailing arrows, lay down your weapons and remain on the eternal path. Your time to dwell in the human world is now complete today.
इति तेषां वचः श्रुत्वा भीमसेनवचश्च तत् ।
धृष्टद्युम्नं च संप्रेक्ष्य रणे स विमनाभवत् ॥९३॥
93. iti teṣāṁ vacaḥ śrutvā bhīmasenavacaśca tat ,
dhṛṣṭadyumnaṁ ca saṁprekṣya raṇe sa vimanābhavat.
93. iti teṣām vacaḥ śrutvā bhīmasenavacaḥ ca tat
dhṛṣṭadyumnam ca samprekṣya raṇe saḥ vimanā abhavat
93. iti teṣām vacaḥ ca tat bhīmasenavacaḥ śrutvā ca
dhṛṣṭadyumnam raṇe samprekṣya saḥ vimanā abhavat
93. Having heard these words of theirs, and also that speech of Bhimasena, and having beheld Dhristadyumna in battle, he became dejected.
स दह्यमानो व्यथितः कुन्तीपुत्रं युधिष्ठिरम् ।
अहतं वा हतं वेति पप्रच्छ सुतमात्मनः ॥९४॥
94. sa dahyamāno vyathitaḥ kuntīputraṁ yudhiṣṭhiram ,
ahataṁ vā hataṁ veti papraccha sutamātmanaḥ.
94. saḥ dahyamānaḥ vyathitaḥ kuntīputram yudhiṣṭhiram
ahatam vā hatam vā iti papraccha sutam ātmanaḥ
94. saḥ dahyamānaḥ vyathitaḥ kuntīputram yudhiṣṭhiram
ātmanaḥ sutam ahatam vā hatam vā iti papraccha
94. He, greatly distressed and suffering, asked Yudhishthira, the son of Kunti, whether his own son (Ashvatthama) was unharmed or slain.
स्थिरा बुद्धिर्हि द्रोणस्य न पार्थो वक्ष्यतेऽनृतम् ।
त्रयाणामपि लोकानामैश्वर्यार्थे कथंचन ॥९५॥
95. sthirā buddhirhi droṇasya na pārtho vakṣyate'nṛtam ,
trayāṇāmapi lokānāmaiśvaryārthe kathaṁcana.
95. sthirā buddhiḥ hi droṇasya na pārthaḥ vakṣyate
anṛtam trayāṇām api lokānām aiśvaryārthe kathaṃcana
95. droṇasya buddhiḥ hi sthirā pārthaḥ trayāṇām api
lokānām aiśvaryārthe kathaṃcana anṛtam na vakṣyate
95. Drona's conviction was firm: Yudhishthira (Pārtha) would never utter an untruth, not even for the sake of sovereignty over the three worlds, under any circumstances.
तस्मात्तं परिपप्रच्छ नान्यं कंचिद्विशेषतः ।
तस्मिंस्तस्य हि सत्याशा बाल्यात्प्रभृति पाण्डवे ॥९६॥
96. tasmāttaṁ paripapraccha nānyaṁ kaṁcidviśeṣataḥ ,
tasmiṁstasya hi satyāśā bālyātprabhṛti pāṇḍave.
96. tasmāt tam paripapraccha na anyam kaṃcit viśeṣataḥ
tasmin tasya hi satyāśā bālyāt prabhṛti pāṇḍave
96. tasmāt tam paripapraccha na anyam kaṃcit viśeṣataḥ
hi tasya satyāśā tasmin pāṇḍave bālyāt prabhṛti
96. Therefore, he particularly questioned Yudhishthira and no one else, for indeed, Drona had placed his hope for truth (satyāśā) in that Pāṇḍava from his childhood onwards.
ततो निष्पाण्डवामुर्वीं करिष्यन्तं युधां पतिम् ।
द्रोणं ज्ञात्वा धर्मराजं गोविन्दो व्यथितोऽब्रवीत् ॥९७॥
97. tato niṣpāṇḍavāmurvīṁ kariṣyantaṁ yudhāṁ patim ,
droṇaṁ jñātvā dharmarājaṁ govindo vyathito'bravīt.
97. tataḥ niṣpāṇḍavām urvīm kariṣyantam yudhām patim
droṇam jñātvā dharmarājam govindaḥ vyathitaḥ abravīt
97. tataḥ govindaḥ droṇam yudhām patim urvīm niṣpāṇḍavām
kariṣyantam jñātvā vyathitaḥ dharmarājam abravīt
97. Then, realizing that Drona, the lord of battles, was intent on making the earth devoid of Pāṇḍavas, Govinda (Krishna) became distressed and spoke to the king of righteousness (dharma-rāja).
यद्यर्धदिवसं द्रोणो युध्यते मन्युमास्थितः ।
सत्यं ब्रवीमि ते सेना विनाशं समुपैष्यति ॥९८॥
98. yadyardhadivasaṁ droṇo yudhyate manyumāsthitaḥ ,
satyaṁ bravīmi te senā vināśaṁ samupaiṣyati.
98. yadi ardhadivasaṃ droṇaḥ yudhyate manyum āsthitaḥ
satyaṃ bravīmi te senā vināśaṃ samupaiṣyati
98. yadi droṇaḥ ardhadivasaṃ manyum āsthitaḥ yudhyate,
(tadā) te senā vināśaṃ samupaiṣyati,
(aham) satyaṃ bravīmi.
98. If Droṇa fights for even half a day, enraged, I tell you truly, your army will face destruction.
स भवांस्त्रातु नो द्रोणात्सत्याज्ज्यायोऽनृतं भवेत् ।
अनृतं जीवितस्यार्थे वदन्न स्पृश्यतेऽनृतैः ॥९९॥
99. sa bhavāṁstrātu no droṇātsatyājjyāyo'nṛtaṁ bhavet ,
anṛtaṁ jīvitasyārthe vadanna spṛśyate'nṛtaiḥ.
99. sa bhavān trātu naḥ droṇāt satyāt jyāyaḥ anṛtam bhavet
anṛtam jīvitasya arthe vadan na spṛśyate anṛtaiḥ
99. sa bhavān naḥ droṇāt trātu.
satyāt anṛtam jyāyaḥ bhavet.
jīvitasya arthe anṛtam vadan,
(saḥ) anṛtaiḥ na spṛśyate.
99. Therefore, sir, may you save us from Droṇa. It would be better to utter a falsehood (anṛta) than the truth. One who speaks a falsehood (anṛta) for the sake of life is not tainted by such untruths (anṛta).

nikṛṣṭayuddhe droṇasya te śarāḥ na anyeṣām santi

153. The best of the Śinis (Sātyaki) cut it (Droṇa's arrow) with ten sharp arrows, while your son and the great-souled Karṇa watched. He (Sātyaki) rescued Dhṛṣṭadyumna, who had been seized by the chief of preceptors (guru) (Droṇa).
चरन्तं रथमार्गेषु सात्यकिं सत्यविक्रमम् ।

154. O Bhārata, the two magnanimous ones (mahātman), Viṣvaksena (Kṛṣṇa) and Dhanaṃjaya (Arjuna), saw Sātyaki, a warrior of true valor, moving on the chariot paths, positioned amidst Droṇa, Karṇa, and even Kṛpa.
अपूजयेतां वार्ष्णेयं ब्रुवाणौ साधु साध्विति ।

iti bruvāṇau yudhi sarveṣām divyāni
astrāṇi nighnantam acyutam vārṣṇeyam

155. Saying 'Well done! Well done!', the two, Viṣvaksena (Kṛṣṇa) and Dhanaṃjaya (Arjuna), honored the unwavering (acyuta) descendant of Vṛṣṇi (Sātyaki), who was destroying all the divine weapons of their opponents in battle. Thereafter, they themselves assailed the army.

156. tataḥ dhanaṃjayaḥ kṛṣṇam abravīt: he keśava! paśya!
madhūdvahaḥ ācāryavaramukhyānām madhye krīḍan (asti)
156. Then Dhanaṃjaya (Arjuna) said to Kṛṣṇa: 'Behold, O Keśava! See how Sātyaki, the Madhūdvaha, is effortlessly fighting (playing) amidst the chief and best of preceptors!'
आनन्दयति मां भूयः सात्यकिः सत्यविक्रमः ।

157. ānandayati māṁ bhūyaḥ sātyakiḥ satyavikramaḥ ,

तमेते प्रतिनन्दन्ति सिद्धाः सैन्याश्च विस्मिताः ।
