| 1 | vaiśaṃpāyana uvāca
|
| 1 | tathā tu pṛcchantam atīva pārthān; vaicitravīryaṃ tam acintayitvā
uvāca karṇo dhṛtarāṣṭraputraṃ; praharṣayan saṃsadi kauravāṇām
|
| 2 | mithyā pratijñāya mayā yad astraṃ; rāmād dhṛtaṃ brahmapuraṃ purastāt
vijñāya tenāsmi tadaivam uktas; tavāntakāle 'pratibhāsyatīti
|
| 3 | mahāparādhe hy api saṃnatena; maharṣiṇāhaṃ guruṇā ca śaptaḥ
śaktaḥ pradagdhuṃ hy api tigmatejāḥ; sasāgarām apy avaniṃ maharṣiḥ
|
| 4 | prasāditaṃ hy asya mayā mano 'bhūc; chuśrūṣayā svena ca pauruṣeṇa
tatas tad astraṃ mama sāvaśeṣaṃ; tasmāt samartho 'smi mamaiṣa bhāraḥ
|
| 5 | nimeṣamātraṃ tam ṛṣiprasādam; avāpya pāñcālakarūṣamatsyān
nihatya pārthāṃś ca saputrapautrāṃl; lokān ahaṃ śastrajitān prapatsye
|
| 6 | pitāmahas tiṣṭhatu te samīpe; droṇaś ca sarve ca narendramukhyāḥ
yathāpradhānena balena yātvā; pārthān haniṣyāmi mamaiṣa bhāraḥ
|
| 7 | evaṃ bruvāṇaṃ tam uvāca bhīṣmaḥ; kiṃ katthase kālaparītabuddhe
na karṇa jānāsi yathā pradhāne; hate hatāḥ syur dhṛtarāṣṭraputrāḥ
|
| 8 | yat khāṇḍavaṃ dāhayatā kṛtaṃ hi; kṛṣṇadvitīyena dhanaṃjayena
śrutvaiva tat karma niyantum ātmā; śakyas tvayā vai saha bāndhavena
|
| 9 | yāṃ cāpi śaktiṃ tridaśādhipas te; dadau mahātmā bhagavān mahendraḥ
bhasmīkṛtāṃ tāṃ patitāṃ viśīrṇāṃ; cakrāhatāṃ drakṣyasi keśavena
|
| 10 | yas te śaraḥ sarpamukho vibhāti; sadāgryamālyair mahitaḥ prayatnāt
sa pāṇḍuputrābhihataḥ śaraughaiḥ; saha tvayā yāsyati karṇa nāśam
|
| 11 | bāṇasya bhaumasya ca karṇa hantā; kirīṭinaṃ rakṣati vāsudevaḥ
yas tvādṛśānāṃ ca garīyasāṃ ca; hantā ripūṇāṃ tumule pragāḍhe
|
| 12 | karṇa uvāca
|
| 12 | asaṃśayaṃ vṛṣṇipatir yathoktas; tathā ca bhūyaś ca tato mahātmā
ahaṃ yad uktaḥ paruṣaṃ tu kiṃ cit; pitāmahas tasya phalaṃ śṛṇotu
|
| 13 | nyasyāmi śastrāṇi na jātu saṃkhye; pitāmaho drakṣyati māṃ sabhāyām
tvayi praśānte tu mama prabhāvaṃ; drakṣyanti sarve bhuvi bhūmipālāḥ
|
| 14 | vaiśaṃpāyana uvāca
|
| 14 | ity evam uktvā sa mahādhanuṣmān; hitvā sabhāṃ svaṃ bhavanaṃ jagāma
bhīṣmas tu duryodhanam eva rājan; madhye kurūṇāṃ prahasann uvāca
|
| 15 | satyapratijñaḥ kila sūtaputras; tathā sa bhāraṃ viṣaheta kasmāt
vyūhaṃ prativyūhya śirāṃsi bhittvā; lokakṣayaṃ paśyata bhīmasenāt
|
| 16 | āvantyakāliṅgajayadratheṣu; vedidhvaje tiṣṭhati bāhlike ca
ahaṃ haniṣyāmi sadā pareṣāṃ; sahasraśaś cāyutaśaś ca yodhān
|
| 17 | yadaiva rāme bhagavaty anindye; brahma bruvāṇaḥ kṛtavāṃs tad astram
tadaiva dharmaś ca tapaś ca naṣṭaṃ; vaikartanasyādhamapūruṣasya
|
| 18 | athoktavākye nṛpatau tu bhīṣme; nikṣipya śastrāṇi gate ca karṇe
vaicitravīryasya suto 'lpabuddhir; duryodhanaḥ śāṃtanavaṃ babhāṣe
