Bhagadatta Fights Ghatotkacha and the Pandavas

Verse 1 (6.95.1)

तस्मिन्महति संक्रन्दे राजा दुर्योधनस्तदा । पराजयं राक्षसेन नामृष्यत परंतपः । गाङ्गेयमुपसंगम्य विनयेनाभिवाद्य च ॥

tasminmahati saṃkrande rājā duryodhanastadā | parājayaṃ rākṣasena nāmṛṣyata paraṃtapaḥ | gāṅgeyamupasaṃgamya vinayenābhivādya ca

In that great uproar King Duryodhana, scorcher of foes, could not bear his defeat at the rakshasa's hands; he went to the son of Ganga (Bhishma) and saluted him humbly,

Note on the text: Adhyaya note: checked against the raw Wikisource page (a table, one row per verse, 6-95-1 to 6-95-86, under the section title भगदत्तादियुद्धम्, with सञ्जय उवाच headings before verses 1, 9 and 21, ending with the colophon naming this the 95th adhyaya, on the eighth day of battle). The adhyaya corresponds to the critical edition's 6.91.1–81. Wikisource divides the critical edition's three-line verses (6.91.15, 17, 39, 51, 53, 57, 58, 60, 66, 68) into couplets, so verses 15–18 and 40–73 mostly straddle two critical-edition verses; nothing is lost, and each note maps the lines. Star passages *0357 and *0358 are on the page (verses 1 and 13); *0359 is not and was not added. Three glosses printed below the table (on verses 4, 15 and 77) are not verses. Unheaded direct speech: verses 4–8 are Duryodhana's, 10–15 and 18–20 Bhishma's; verses 16–17, where Bhishma's words to Duryodhana end and his words to Bhagadatta begin mid-verse, stay with Sanjaya. This verse: lines 1 and 3 are the critical edition's 6.91.1; line 2 is not in its constituted text (vulgate recension) but is recorded in its apparatus as the star passage 6.91.1b*0357_01 (परंतपः for paraṃtapa). The page prints line 2 between ` and ' marks with a danda inside them; the marks are removed and the danda set in its usual place.

Verse 2 (6.95.2)

तस्य सर्वं यथावृत्तमाख्यातुमुपचक्रमे । घटोत्कचस्य विजयमात्मनश्च पराजयम् ॥

tasya sarvaṃ yathāvṛttamākhyātumupacakrame | ghaṭotkacasya vijayamātmanaśca parājayam

and began to tell him all that had happened, Ghatotkacha's victory and his own defeat.

Verse 3 (6.95.3)

कथयामास दुर्धर्षो विनिःश्वस्य पुनःपुनः । अब्रवीच्च तदा राजन्भीष्मं कुरुपितामहम् ॥

kathayāmāsa durdharṣo viniḥśvasya punaḥpunaḥ | abravīcca tadā rājanbhīṣmaṃ kurupitāmaham

The invincible prince told it, sighing again and again, and then, O king, he said to Bhishma, grandsire of the Kurus:

Verse 4 (6.95.4)

भवन्तं समुपाश्रित्य द्रोणं चैव पितामह । पाण्डवैर्विग्रहो घोरः समारब्धो मया प्रभो ॥

bhavantaṃ samupāśritya droṇaṃ caiva pitāmaha | pāṇḍavairvigraho ghoraḥ samārabdho mayā prabho

'It was relying on you, grandsire, and on Drona as well, that I began this terrible war with the Pandavas, my lord.

Note on the text: Speaker: Duryodhana's words to Bhishma (verses 4–8), announced in verse 3; the page prints no heading here (it prints सञ्जय उवाच again before verse 9). द्रोणं चैव पितामह (CE vāsudevaṃ yathā paraiḥ) kept as a variant; the page's own note below the table records the other reading.

Verse 5 (6.95.5)

एकादश समाख्याता अक्षौहिण्यश्च या मम । निदेशे तव तिष्ठन्ति मया सार्धं परंतप ॥

ekādaśa samākhyātā akṣauhiṇyaśca yā mama | nideśe tava tiṣṭhanti mayā sārdhaṃ paraṃtapa

The eleven akshauhinis that are counted as mine stand under your command, together with me, scorcher of foes.

Verse 6 (6.95.6)

सोऽहं भरतशार्दूल भीमसेनपुरोगमैः । घटोत्कचं समाश्रित्य पाण्डवैर्युधि निर्जितः ॥

so'haṃ bharataśārdūla bhīmasenapurogamaiḥ | ghaṭotkacaṃ samāśritya pāṇḍavairyudhi nirjitaḥ

Yet I, tiger among the Bharatas, have been beaten in battle by the Pandavas led by Bhimasena, who relied on Ghatotkacha.

Verse 7 (6.95.7)

तन्मे दहति गात्राणि शुष्कवृक्षमिवानलः । तदिच्छामि महाभाग त्वत्प्रसादात्परंतप ॥

tanme dahati gātrāṇi śuṣkavṛkṣamivānalaḥ | tadicchāmi mahābhāga tvatprasādātparaṃtapa

That burns my limbs as fire burns a dry tree. So, illustrious scorcher of foes, I wish by your grace

Verse 8 (6.95.8)

राक्षसापशदं हन्तुं स्वयमेव पितामह । त्वां समाश्रित्य दुर्धर्षं तन्मे कर्तुं त्वमर्हसि ॥

rākṣasāpaśadaṃ hantuṃ svayameva pitāmaha | tvāṃ samāśritya durdharṣaṃ tanme kartuṃ tvamarhasi

to kill that vilest of rakshasas myself, grandsire, relying on you, the invincible. You should do this for me.'

Note on the text: राक्षसापशदं (CE rākṣasāpasadaṃ) kept as printed.

Verse 9 (6.95.9)

एतच्छ्रुत्वा तु वचनं राज्ञो भरतसत्तम । दुर्योधनमिदं वाक्यं भीष्मः शान्तनवोऽब्रवीत् ॥

etacchrutvā tu vacanaṃ rājño bharatasattama | duryodhanamidaṃ vākyaṃ bhīṣmaḥ śāntanavo'bravīt

Hearing these words of the king, O best of the Bharatas, Bhishma, son of Shantanu, said this to Duryodhana:

Note on the text: The page prints सञ्जय उवाच before this verse.

Verse 10 (6.95.10)

शृणु राजन्मम वचो यत्त्वां वक्ष्यामि कौरव । यथा त्वया महाराज वर्तितव्यं परंतप ॥

śṛṇu rājanmama vaco yattvāṃ vakṣyāmi kaurava | yathā tvayā mahārāja vartitavyaṃ paraṃtapa

'Hear, king, what I shall tell you, Kaurava: how you ought to conduct yourself, great king, scorcher of foes.

Note on the text: Speaker: Bhishma's words (verses 10–15 and 18–20), announced in verse 9; the page prints no heading inside them.

Verse 11 (6.95.11)

आत्मा रक्ष्यस्त्वया तात सर्वावस्थास्वरिन्दम । धर्मराजेन संग्रामस्त्वया कार्यः सदाऽनघ ॥

ātmā rakṣyastvayā tāta sarvāvasthāsvarindama | dharmarājena saṃgrāmastvayā kāryaḥ sadā'nagha

You must guard yourself, my son, in every circumstance, subduer of foes. You should always fight against the King of Righteousness (Yudhishthira), sinless one,

Note on the text: रक्ष्यस्त्वया (CE rakṣyo raṇe) kept as a variant.

Verse 12 (6.95.12)

अर्जुनेन यमाभ्यां वा भीमसेनेन वा पुनः । अन्यैर्वा पृथिवीपालै राजा राजानमृच्छति ॥

arjunena yamābhyāṃ vā bhīmasenena vā punaḥ | anyairvā pṛthivīpālai rājā rājānamṛcchati

or with Arjuna, or the twins, or again with Bhimasena, or with other rulers of the earth: a king goes against a king.

Note on the text: अन्यैर्वा पृथिवीपालै (CE rājadharmaṃ puraskṛtya) kept as a variant.

Verse 13 (6.95.13)

न तु कार्यस्त्वया राजन्हैडिम्बेन दुरात्मना । अहं द्रोणः कृपो द्रौणिः कृतवर्मा च सात्वतः । शल्यश्च वृषसेनश्च विकर्णश्च महारथः ॥

na tu kāryastvayā rājanhaiḍimbena durātmanā | ahaṃ droṇaḥ kṛpo drauṇiḥ kṛtavarmā ca sātvataḥ | śalyaśca vṛṣasenaśca vikarṇaśca mahārathaḥ

But you must not fight, king, with the evil-souled son of Hidimba. I, Drona, Kripa, the son of Drona, Kritavarman of the Satvatas, Shalya, Vrishasena and the great chariot-warrior Vikarna,

Note on the text: A three-line verse (the alignment missed it): line 1 is not in the critical edition's constituted text (vulgate recension) but is recorded in its apparatus as the star passage 6.91.12b*0358_01 (placed after 6.91.12ab); lines 2–3 are 6.91.13 (वृषसेनश्च for saumadattiś ca, kept as a variant). Corrected दुरात्मा → दुरात्मना (misprint in Wikisource; a dropped ना, the line is a syllable short and the instrumental agreeing with हैडिम्बेन is needed, star passage durātmanā).

Verse 14 (6.95.14)

शेषाश्च भ्रातरस्त्वन्ये दुःशासनपुरोगमाः । त्वदर्थे प्रतियोत्स्यामो राक्षसं तं महाबलम् ॥

śeṣāśca bhrātarastvanye duḥśāsanapurogamāḥ | tvadarthe pratiyotsyāmo rākṣasaṃ taṃ mahābalam

and your other brothers led by Duhshasana, we will fight that mighty rakshasa on your behalf.

Note on the text: शेषाश्च भ्रातरस्त्वन्ये and त्वदर्थे (CE tava ca bhrātaraḥ śūrā, tvadarthaṃ) kept as variants.

Verse 15 (6.95.15)

रौद्रे तस्मिन्राक्षसेन्द्रे यदि ते हृच्छयो महान् । अयमागच्छतु रणं तस्य युद्धाय दुर्मतेः ॥

raudre tasminrākṣasendre yadi te hṛcchayo mahān | ayamāgacchatu raṇaṃ tasya yuddhāya durmateḥ

If your grievance against that fierce lord of rakshasas runs deep, let this man go into battle to fight that evil-minded one:

Note on the text: Corresponds to 6.91.15ab + 6.91.15cd (the alignment missed it; Wikisource divides the critical edition's three-line verses 6.91.15 and 6.91.17 into couplets, so verses 15–18 here = critical edition 6.91.15–17; nothing is lost). अयमागच्छतु रणं (CE ayaṃ vā gacchatu raṇe) kept as a variant. The page's gloss below the table notes a reading अनुशय (remorse) for हृच्छय.

Verse 16 (6.95.16)

भगदत्तो महीपालः पुरन्दरसमो युधि । एतावदुक्त्वा राजानं भगदत्तमथाब्रवीत् ॥

bhagadatto mahīpālaḥ purandarasamo yudhi | etāvaduktvā rājānaṃ bhagadattamathābravīt

King Bhagadatta, equal to Purandara (Indra) in battle.' Having said this much to the king, the master of speech then spoke to Bhagadatta

Note on the text: Corresponds to 6.91.15ef + 6.91.16ab (Wikisource divides the critical edition's three-line verses here into couplets, so nothing is lost). Line 1 ends Bhishma's words to Duryodhana and line 2 is narration, so the verse stays with Sanjaya.

Verse 17 (6.95.17)

समक्षं पार्थिवेन्द्रस्य वाक्यं वाक्यविशारदः । गच्छ शीघ्रं महाराज हैडिम्बं युद्धदुर्मदम् ॥

samakṣaṃ pārthivendrasya vākyaṃ vākyaviśāradaḥ | gaccha śīghraṃ mahārāja haiḍimbaṃ yuddhadurmadam

in the presence of the lord of kings: 'Go quickly, great king, against the son of Hidimba, fierce in battle;

Note on the text: Corresponds to 6.91.16cd + 6.91.17ab (Wikisource divides the critical edition's three-line verses here into couplets, so nothing is lost). Line 1 is narration and line 2 begins Bhishma's words to Bhagadatta, so the verse stays with Sanjaya.

Verse 18 (6.95.18)

वारयस्व रणे यत्तो मिषतां सर्वधन्विनाम् । राक्षसं क्रूरकर्माणं यथेन्द्रस्तारकं पुरा ॥

vārayasva raṇe yatto miṣatāṃ sarvadhanvinām | rākṣasaṃ krūrakarmāṇaṃ yathendrastārakaṃ purā

hold him back in battle, ever watchful, while all the bowmen look on, that rakshasa of cruel deeds, as Indra once held back Taraka.

Note on the text: Corresponds to 6.91.17cd + 6.91.17ef (Wikisource divides the critical edition's three-line verse into couplets, so nothing is lost). Speaker: Bhishma, speaking to Bhagadatta (no heading on the page).

Verse 19 (6.95.19)

तव दिव्यानि चास्त्राणि विक्रमश्च परंतप । समागमश्च बहुभिः पुराऽभूदमरैः सह ॥

tava divyāni cāstrāṇi vikramaśca paraṃtapa | samāgamaśca bahubhiḥ purā'bhūdamaraiḥ saha

Yours are divine weapons and prowess, scorcher of foes, and of old you have met many of the immortals in combat.

Note on the text: अमरैः (CE asuraiḥ) kept as a variant.

Verse 20 (6.95.20)

त्वं तस्य नृपशार्दूल प्रतियोद्धा महाहवे । स्वबलेनावृतो गच्छ जहि राक्षसपुङ्गवम् ॥

tvaṃ tasya nṛpaśārdūla pratiyoddhā mahāhave | svabalenāvṛto gaccha jahi rākṣasapuṅgavam

You, tiger among kings, are his match in this great battle. Go, surrounded by your own forces, and slay that bull among rakshasas.'

Note on the text: नृपशार्दूल and स्वबलेनावृतो गच्छ (CE rājaśārdūla, svabalena vṛto rājañ) kept as variants.

Verse 21 (6.95.21)

एतच्छ्रुत्वा तु वचनं भीष्मस्य पृतनापतेः । प्रययौ सिंहनादेन परानभिमुखो द्रुतम् ॥

etacchrutvā tu vacanaṃ bhīṣmasya pṛtanāpateḥ | prayayau siṃhanādena parānabhimukho drutam

Hearing these words of Bhishma, commander of the army, he set out swiftly against the enemy with a lion-roar.

Note on the text: The page prints सञ्जय उवाच before this verse. Removed a stray क in परानभिमुखो (misprint in Wikisource; the line has a syllable too many, critical edition parān abhimukho).

Verse 22 (6.95.22)

तमापतन्तं संप्रेक्ष्य गर्जन्तमिव तोयदम् । अभ्यवर्तन्त संक्रुद्धाः पाण्डवानां महारथाः ॥

tamāpatantaṃ saṃprekṣya garjantamiva toyadam | abhyavartanta saṃkruddhāḥ pāṇḍavānāṃ mahārathāḥ

Note on the text: आपतन्तं (CE ādravantaṃ) kept as a variant.

Verse 23 (6.95.23)

भीमसेनोऽभिमन्युश्च राक्षसश्च घटोत्कचः । द्रौपदेयाः सत्यधृतिः क्षत्रदेवश्च भारत ॥

Note on the text: भारत (CE māriṣa) kept as a variant.

चेदिपो वसुदानश्च दशार्णाधिपतिस्तथा । सुप्रतीकेन तांश्चापि भगदत्तोऽप्युपाद्रवत् ॥

cedipo vasudānaśca daśārṇādhipatistathā | supratīkena tāṃścāpi bhagadatto'pyupādravat

the lord of the Chedis, Vasudana, and the lord of the Dasharnas. Bhagadatta too rushed at them on Supratika.

Verse 25 (6.95.25)

ततः समभवद्युद्धं घोररूपं भयानकम् । पाण्डूनां भगदत्तेन यमराष्ट्रविवर्धनम् ॥

tataḥ samabhavadyuddhaṃ ghorarūpaṃ bhayānakam | pāṇḍūnāṃ bhagadattena yamarāṣṭravivardhanam

Then there began between the Pandavas and Bhagadatta a battle terrible in form and fearsome, swelling the kingdom of Yama.

Verse 26 (6.95.26)

प्रयुक्ता रथिभिर्बाणा भीमवेगाः सुतेजनाः । ते निपेतुर्महाराज नागेषु च रथेषु च ॥

prayuktā rathibhirbāṇā bhīmavegāḥ sutejanāḥ | te nipeturmahārāja nāgeṣu ca ratheṣu ca

Note on the text: प्रयुक्ता (CE pramuktā) kept as a variant.

Verse 27 (6.95.27)

प्रभिन्नाश्च महानागा विनीता हस्तिसादिभिः । परस्परं समासाद्य संनिपेतुरभीतवत् ॥

prabhinnāśca mahānāgā vinītā hastisādibhiḥ | parasparaṃ samāsādya saṃnipeturabhītavat

Great elephants in rut, guided by their riders, met one another and closed as if without fear.

Verse 28 (6.95.28)

मदान्धा रोषसंरब्धा विषाणाग्रैर्महाहवे । बिभिदुर्दन्तमुसलैः समासाद्य परस्परम् ॥

Blind with rut and maddened with fury, they closed with one another in that great battle and tore each other with the points of their tusks, their pestle-like teeth.

Verse 29 (6.95.29)

हयाश्च चामरापीडाः प्रासपाणिभिरास्थिताः । चोदिताः सादिभिः क्षिप्रं निजघ्नुरितरेतरम् ॥

hayāśca cāmarāpīḍāḥ prāsapāṇibhirāsthitāḥ | coditāḥ sādibhiḥ kṣipraṃ nijaghnuritaretaram

Horses with yak-tail plumes, mounted by men with lances in hand and swiftly urged on by their riders, struck one another down.

Note on the text: Corrected निजघ्रुर् → निजघ्नुर् (misprint in Wikisource; र for न, the perfect of हन्; the critical edition has a different verb here, nipetur, so the smallest fix is made).

Verse 30 (6.95.30)

पादाताश्च पदात्योघैस्ताडिताः शक्तितोमरैः । न्यपतन्त तदा भूमौ शतशोऽथ सहस्रशः ॥

pādātāśca padātyoghaistāḍitāḥ śaktitomaraiḥ | nyapatanta tadā bhūmau śataśo'tha sahasraśaḥ

And chariot-warriors, having slain brave foes on bright chariots in battle with barbed arrows, nalikas and lances, roared lion-roars.

Note on the text: Removed a stray क in रथांश्चित्रान् (misprint in Wikisource, which prints रथाकंश्चित्रान्; the line has a syllable too many). रथांश्चित्रान् and कर्णिनालीकतोमरैः (CE tathā rājan, karṇinālīkasāyakaiḥ) kept as variants.

Verse 32 (6.95.32)

तस्मिंस्तथा वर्तमाने संग्रामे रोमहर्षणे । भगदत्तो महेष्वासो भीमसेनमथाद्रवत् ॥

tasmiṃstathā vartamāne saṃgrāme romaharṣaṇe | bhagadatto maheṣvāso bhīmasenamathādravat

While that hair-raising battle went on thus, the great archer Bhagadatta charged at Bhimasena

Note on the text: Corrected भगतत्तो → भगदत्तो (misprint in Wikisource; त for द, critical edition bhagadatto).

Verse 33 (6.95.33)

कुञ्जरेण प्रभिन्नेन सप्तधा स्रवता मदम् । पर्वतेन यथा तोयं स्रवमाणेन सर्वशः ॥

kuñjareṇa prabhinnena saptadhā sravatā madam | parvatena yathā toyaṃ sravamāṇena sarvaśaḥ

kirañcharasahasrāṇi supratīkaśirogataḥ | airāvatastho maghavānvāridhārā ivānagha

scattering arrows by the thousand from Supratika's head, like Maghavan (Indra) on Airavata pouring torrents of rain, O sinless one.

Verse 35 (6.95.35)

स भीमं शरधाराभिस्ताडयामास पार्थिवः । पर्वतं वारिधाराभिस्तपान्ते जलदो यथा ॥

sa bhīmaṃ śaradhārābhistāḍayāmāsa pārthivaḥ | parvataṃ vāridhārābhistapānte jalado yathā

The king struck Bhima with torrents of arrows, as a cloud at the end of the hot season strikes a mountain with torrents of water.

Note on the text: Corrected ताजयामास → ताडयामास (misprint in Wikisource; ज for ड, critical edition tāḍayām āsa). तपान्ते जलदो यथा (CE prāvṛṣīva balāhakaḥ) kept as a variant.

Verse 36 (6.95.36)

भीमसेनस्तु संक्रुद्धः पादरक्षान्परःशतान् । निजघान महेष्वासः संरब्धः शरवृष्टिभिः ॥

Seeing them slain, mighty Bhagadatta in anger drove the lord of elephants toward Bhimasena's chariot.

sa nāgaḥ preṣitastena bāṇo jyācodito yathā | abhyadhāvata vegena bhīmasenamarindamam

Sent on by him like an arrow driven by the bowstring, the elephant rushed with speed at Bhimasena, the tamer of foes.

Note on the text: Restored from the critical edition (6.91.37cd): Wikisource ends the second line with भीमसेनपुरोगमाः, which repeats the end of the next verse and does not construe (a nominative plural where the single elephant charges); that quarter is replaced by the critical edition's भीमसेनमरिन्दमम् (bhīmasenam ariṃdamam).

Verse 39 (6.95.39)

तमापतन्तं संप्रेक्ष्य पाण्डवानां महारथाः । अभ्यवर्तन्त वेगेन भीमसेनपुरोगमाः ॥

the Kekayas, Abhimanyu, all the sons of Draupadi, the valiant lord of the Dasharnas and Kshatradeva, my lord,

Note on the text: Corresponds to 6.91.39ab + 6.91.39cd (the alignment missed it; from here Wikisource's couplets run half a verse out of step with the critical edition, which has three-line verses at 6.91.39, 51, 53, 57, 58, 60, 66 and 68, so verses 40–73 here = critical edition 6.91.39–68; nothing is lost).

Verse 41 (6.95.41)

चेदिपो धृष्टकेतुश्च संरब्धाः सर्व एव ते । उत्तमास्त्राणि दिव्यानि दर्शयन्तो महाबलाः ॥

cedipo dhṛṣṭaketuśca saṃrabdhāḥ sarva eva te | uttamāstrāṇi divyāni darśayanto mahābalāḥ

Dhrishtaketu, lord of the Chedis, all of them in fury, the mighty warriors, displaying excellent divine weapons,

Note on the text: Corresponds to 6.91.39ef + 6.91.40ab (Wikisource divides the critical edition's three-line verses here into couplets, so nothing is lost). धृष्टकेतुश्च and संरब्धाः (CE citraketuś ca, saṃkruddhāḥ) kept as variants.

Verse 42 (6.95.42)

तमेकं कुञ्जरं क्रुद्धाः समन्तात्पर्यवारयन् । स विद्धो बहुभिर्बाणैर्व्यरोचत महाद्विपः ॥

saṃjātarudhirotpīḍo dhātucitra ivādrirāṭ | daśārṇādhipatiścā'pi gajaṃ bhūmidharopamam

streams of blood springing from it, like a king of mountains streaked with mineral colours. And the lord of the Dasharnas, mounted on an elephant like a mountain,

Note on the text: Corresponds to 6.91.41cd + 6.91.42ab (Wikisource divides the critical edition's three-line verses here into couplets, so nothing is lost).

Verse 44 (6.95.44)

समास्थितोऽभिदुद्राव भगदत्तस्य वारणम् । तमापतन्तं समरे गजं गजपतिः स च ॥

samāsthito'bhidudrāva bhagadattasya vāraṇam | tamāpatantaṃ samare gajaṃ gajapatiḥ sa ca

charged at Bhagadatta's elephant. As that elephant came on in the battle, Supratika, the lord of elephants,
