vṛṣṇayaḥ pāṇḍavān vīrān parivāryopatasthire
|
| 4 | tato gokṣīrakundendumṛṇālarajataprabhaḥ
vanamālī halī rāmo babhāṣe puṣkarekṣaṇam
|
| 5 | na kṛṣṇa dharmaś carito bhavāya; jantor adharmaś ca parābhavāya
yudhiṣṭhiro yatra jaṭī mahātmā; vanāśrayaḥ kliśyati cīravāsāḥ
|
| 6 | duryodhanaś cāpi mahīṃ praśāsti; na cāsya bhūmir vivaraṃ dadāti
dharmād adharmaś carito garīyān; itīva manyeta naro 'lpabuddhiḥ
|
| 7 | duryodhane cāpi vivardhamāne; yudhiṣṭhire cāsukha āttarājye
kiṃ nv adya kartavyam iti prajābhiḥ; śaṅkā mithaḥ saṃjanitā narāṇām
|
| 8 | ayaṃ hi dharmaprabhavo narendro; dharme rataḥ satyadhṛtiḥ pradātā
caled dhi rājyāc ca sukhāc ca pārtho; dharmād apetaś ca kathaṃ vivardhet
|

kathaṃ nu bhīṣmaś ca kṛpaś ca vipro; droṇaś ca rājā ca kulasya vṛddhaḥ
pravrājya pārthān sukham āpnuvanti; dhik pāpabuddhīn bharatapradhānān
|
| 10 | kiṃ nāma vakṣyaty avanipradhānaḥ; pitṝn samāgamya paratra pāpaḥ
putreṣu samyak caritaṃ mayeti; putrān apāpān avaropya rājyāt
|
| 11 | nāsau dhiyā saṃpratipaśyati sma; kiṃ nāma kṛtvāham acakṣur evam
jātaḥ pṛthivyām iti pārthiveṣu; pravrājya kaunteyam athāpi rājyāt
|
| 12 | nūnaṃ samṛddhān pitṛlokabhūmau; cāmīkarābhān kṣitijān praphullān
vicitravīryasya sutaḥ saputraḥ; kṛtvā nṛśaṃsaṃ bata paśyati sma
|
| 13 | vyūḍhottarāṃsān pṛthulohitākṣān; nemān sma pṛcchan sa śṛṇoti nūnam
prasthāpayad yat sa vanaṃ hy aśaṅko; yudhiṣṭhiraṃ sānujam āttaśastram
|
| 14 | yo 'yaṃ pareṣāṃ pṛtanāṃ samṛddhāṃ; nirāyudho dīrghabhujo nihanyāt
śrutvaiva śabdaṃ hi vṛkodarasya; muñcanti sainyāni śakṛt samūtram
|
| 15 | sa kṣutpipāsādhvakṛśas tarasvī; sametya nānāyudhabāṇapāṇiḥ
vane smaran vāsam imaṃ sughoraṃ; śeṣaṃ na kuryād iti niścitaṃ me
|
| 16 | na hy asya vīryeṇa balena kaś cit; samaḥ pṛthivyāṃ bhavitā nareṣu
śītoṣṇavātātapakarśitāṅgo; na śeṣam ājāv asuhṛtsu kuryāt
|

svastyāgamad yo 'tirathas tarasvī; so 'yaṃ vane kliśyati cīravāsāḥ
|
| 18 | yo dantakūre vyajayan nṛdevān; samāgatān dākṣiṇātyān mahīpān
taṃ paśyatemaṃ sahadevam adya; tapasvinaṃ tāpasaveṣarūpam
|
| 19 | yaḥ pārthivān ekarathena vīro; diśaṃ pratīcīṃ prati yuddhaśauṇḍaḥ
so 'yaṃ vane mūlaphalena jīvañ; jaṭī caraty adya malācitāṅgaḥ
|
| 20 | satre samṛddhe 'ti rathasya rājño; vedītalād utpatitā sutā yā
seyaṃ vane vāsam imaṃ suduḥkhaṃ; kathaṃ sahaty adya satī sukhārhā
|
| 21 | trivargamukhyasya samīraṇasya; deveśvarasyāpy atha vāśvinoś ca
eṣāṃ surāṇāṃ tanayāḥ kathaṃ nu; vane caranty alpasukhāḥ sukhārhāḥ
|
| 22 | jite hi dharmasya sute sabhārye; sabhrātṛke sānucare niraste
duryodhane cāpi vivardhamāne; kathaṃ na sīdaty avaniḥ saśailā
