| 1 | vaiśaṃpāyana uvāca
|
| 1 | bhīṣme tu saṃgrāmaśiro vihāya; palāyamāne dhṛtarāṣṭraputraḥ
ucchritya ketuṃ vinadan mahātmā; svayaṃ vigṛhyārjunam āsasāda
|
| 2 | sa bhīmadhanvānam udagravīryaṃ; dhanaṃjayaṃ śatrugaṇe carantam
ākarṇapūrṇāyatacoditena; bhallena vivyādha lalāṭamadhye
|
| 3 | sa tena bāṇena samarpitena; jāmbūnadābhena susaṃśitena
rarāja rājan mahanīyakarmā; yathaikaparvā ruciraikaśṛṅgaḥ
|
| 4 | athāsya bāṇena vidāritasya; prādurbabhūvāsṛg ajasram uṣṇam
sā tasya jāmbūnadapuṣpacitrā; māleva citrābhivirājate sma
|
| 5 | sa tena bāṇābhihatas tarasvī; duryodhanenoddhatamanyuvegaḥ
śarān upādāya viṣāgnikalpān; vivyādha rājānam adīnasattvaḥ
|
| 6 | duryodhanaś cāpi tam ugratejāḥ; pārthaś ca duryodhanam ekavīraḥ
anyonyam ājau puruṣapravīrau; samaṃ samājaghnatur ājamīḍhau
|
| 7 | tataḥ prabhinnena mahāgajena; mahīdharābhena punar vikarṇaḥ
rathaiś caturbhir gajapādarakṣaiḥ; kuntīsutaṃ jiṣṇum athābhyadhāvat
|
| 8 | tam āpatantaṃ tvaritaṃ gajendraṃ; dhanaṃjayaḥ kumbhavibhāgamadhye
ākarṇapūrṇena dṛḍhāyasena; bāṇena vivyādha mahājavena
|
| 9 | pārthena sṛṣṭaḥ sa tu gārdhrapatra; ā puṅkhadeśāt praviveśa nāgam
vidārya śailapravaraprakāśaṃ; yathāśaniḥ parvatam indrasṛṣṭaḥ
|
| 10 | śaraprataptaḥ sa tu nāgarājaḥ; pravepitāṅgo vyathitāntarātmā
saṃsīdamāno nipapāta mahyāṃ; vajrāhataṃ śṛṅgam ivācalasya
|
| 11 | nipātite dantivare pṛthivyāṃ; trāsād vikarṇaḥ sahasāvatīrya
tūrṇaṃ padāny aṣṭaśatāni gatvā; viviṃśateḥ syandanam āruroha
|
| 12 | nihatya nāgaṃ tu śareṇa tena; vajropamenādrivarāmbudābham
tathāvidhenaiva śareṇa pārtho; duryodhanaṃ vakṣasi nirbibheda
|
| 13 | tato gaje rājani caiva bhinne; bhagne vikarṇe ca sapādarakṣe
gāṇḍīvamuktair viśikhaiḥ praṇunnās; te yodhamukhyāḥ sahasāpajagmuḥ
|
| 14 | dṛṣṭvaiva bāṇena hataṃ tu nāgaṃ; yodhāṃś ca sarvān dravato niśamya
rathaṃ samāvṛtya kurupravīro; raṇāt pradudrāva yato na pārthaḥ
|
| 15 | taṃ bhīmarūpaṃ tvaritaṃ dravantaṃ; duryodhanaṃ śatrusaho niṣaṅgī
prākṣveḍayad yoddhumanāḥ kirīṭī; bāṇena viddhaṃ rudhiraṃ vamantam
|
| 16 | arjuna uvāca
|
| 16 | vihāya kīrtiṃ vipulaṃ yaśaś ca; yuddhāt parāvṛtya palāyase kim
na te 'dya tūryāṇi samāhatāni; yathāvad udyānti gatasya yuddhe
|
| 17 | yudhiṣṭhirasyāsmi nideśakārī; pārthas tṛtīyo yudhi ca sthiro 'smi
tadartham āvṛtya mukhaṃ prayaccha; narendravṛttaṃ smara dhārtarāṣṭra
|
| 18 | moghaṃ tavedaṃ bhuvi nāmadheyaṃ; duryodhanetīha kṛtaṃ purastāt
na hīha duryodhanatā tavāsti; palāyamānasya raṇaṃ vihāya
|
| 19 | na te purastād atha pṛṣṭhato vā; paśyāmi duryodhana rakṣitāram
paraihi yuddhena kurupravīra; prāṇān priyān pāṇḍavato 'dya rakṣa
