| 1 | tato ghorataraḥ śabdo vane samabhavat tadā
bhīmasenārjunau dṛṣṭvā kṣatriyāṇām amarṣiṇām
|
| 2 | teṣāṃ dhvajāgrāṇy abhivīkṣya rājā; svayaṃ durātmā kurupuṃgavānām
jayadratho yājñasenīm uvāca; rathe sthitāṃ bhānumatīṃ hataujāḥ
|
| 3 | āyāntīme pañca rathā mahānto; manye ca kṛṣṇe patayas tavaite
sā jānatī khyāpaya naḥ sukeśi; paraṃ paraṃ pāṇḍavānāṃ rathastham

|
| 4 | kiṃ te jñātair mūḍha mahādhanurdharair; anāyuṣyaṃ karma kṛtvātighoram
ete vīrāḥ patayo me sametā; na vaḥ śeṣaḥ kaś cid ihāsti yuddhe
|

ākhyātavyaṃ tv eva sarvaṃ mumūrṣor; mayā tubhyaṃ pṛṣṭayā dharma eṣaḥ
na me vyathā vidyate tvadbhayaṃ vā; saṃpaśyantyāḥ sānujaṃ dharmarājam
|
| 6 | yasya dhvajāgre nadato mṛdaṅgau; nandopanandau madhurau yuktarūpau
etaṃ svadharmārthaviniścayajñaṃ; sadā janāḥ kṛtyavanto 'nuyānti
|
| 7 | ya eṣa jāmbūnadaśuddhagauraḥ; pracaṇḍaghoṇas tanur āyatākṣaḥ
etaṃ kuruśreṣṭhatamaṃ vadanti; yudhiṣṭhiraṃ dharmasutaṃ patiṃ me
|
| 8 | apy eṣa śatroḥ śaraṇāgatasya; dadyāt prāṇān dharmacārī nṛvīraḥ
paraihy enaṃ mūḍha javena bhūtaye; tvam ātmanaḥ prāñjalir nyastaśastraḥ
|
| 9 | athāpy enaṃ paśyasi yaṃ rathasthaṃ; mahābhujaṃ śālam iva pravṛddham
saṃdaṣṭoṣṭhaṃ bhrukuṭīsaṃhatabhruvaṃ; vṛkodaro nāma patir mamaiṣaḥ
|
| 10 | ājāneyā balinaḥ sādhu dāntā; mahābalāḥ śūram udāvahanti
etasya karmāṇy atimānuṣāṇi; bhīmeti śabdo 'sya gataḥ pṛthivyām
|
| 11 | nāsyāparāddhāḥ śeṣam ihāpnuvanti; nāpy asya vairaṃ vismarate kadā cit
vairasyāntaṃ saṃvidhāyopayāti; paścāc chāntiṃ na ca gacchaty atīva
|
| 12 | mṛdur vadānyo dhṛtimān yaśasvī; jitendriyo vṛddhasevī nṛvīraḥ
bhrātā ca śiṣyaś ca yudhiṣṭhirasya; dhanaṃjayo nāma patir mamaiṣaḥ

sa eṣa vaiśvānaratulyatejāḥ; kuntīsutaḥ śatrusahaḥ pramāthī
|
| 14 | yaḥ sarvadharmārthaviniścayajño; bhayārtānāṃ bhayahartā manīṣī
yasyottamaṃ rūpam āhuḥ pṛthivyāṃ; yaṃ pāṇḍavāḥ parirakṣanti sarve
|
| 15 | prāṇair garīyāṃsam anuvrataṃ vai; sa eṣa vīro nakulaḥ patir me
yaḥ khaḍgayodhī laghucitrahasto; mahāṃś ca dhīmān sahadevo 'dvitīyaḥ
|
| 16 | yasyādya karma drakṣyase mūḍhasattva; śatakrator vā daityasenāsu saṃkhye
śūraḥ kṛtāstro matimān manīṣī; priyaṃkaro dharmasutasya rājñaḥ
|
| 17 | ya eṣa candrārkasamānatejā; jaghanyajaḥ pāṇḍavānāṃ priyaś ca
buddhyā samo yasya naro na vidyate; vaktā tathā satsu viniścayajñaḥ
|

tyajet prāṇān praviśed dhavyavāhaṃ; na tv evaiṣa vyāhared dharmabāhyam
sadā manasvī kṣatradharme niviṣṭaḥ; kuntyāḥ prāṇair iṣṭatamo nṛvīraḥ
|
| 19 | viśīryantīṃ nāvam ivārṇavānte; ratnābhipūrṇāṃ makarasya pṛṣṭhe
senāṃ tavemāṃ hatasarvayodhāṃ; vikṣobhitāṃ drakṣyasi pāṇḍuputraiḥ
|

yady etais tvaṃ mucyase 'riṣṭadehaḥ; punarjanma prāpsyase jīva eva

tataḥ pārthāḥ pañca pañcendrakalpās; tyaktvā trastān prāñjalīṃs tān padātīn
rathānīkaṃ śaravarṣāndhakāraṃ; cakruḥ kruddhāḥ sarvataḥ saṃnigṛhya
