Satyaki Destroys the Kambojas and Yavanas

Verse 1 (7.119.1)

निर्जित्य कृतवर्माणं भारद्वाजं च संयुगे । स सात्यकिः सत्यधृतिर्महात्मा शिनिपुङ्गवः ॥

nirjitya kṛtavarmāṇaṃ bhāradvājaṃ ca saṃyuge | sa sātyakiḥ satyadhṛtirmahātmā śinipuṅgavaḥ

Note on the text: Adhyaya note: checked against the raw Wikisource page (a table, one row per verse, printed 5-119-1 to 5-119-67 — the page's "5-" is a typo for 7 — ending with a colophon naming this the 119th adhyaya of the Jayadratha-vadha Parva); page and input agree on all 67 verses, except that the input had joined the speaker heading into verse 1. Wikisource 119 corresponds to the critical edition 7.95.1–47, with many lines found there only as star passages. The page's apparatus notes printed after the colophon (a variant text of the Jha manuscript at 5-119-*, and glosses on 20, 33, 50 and 52) are not part of the text and are dropped. Verse 1: the speaker heading (with the page's stray backtick) had slipped into the Sanskrit and is made the speaker (सञ्जय) instead. Line 1 is CE star passage 7.95.1*0660_01 (it stands before 7.95.1a); line 2 is a variant of CE 7.95.1a (tataḥ sa sātyakir dhīmān mahātmā vṛṣṇipuṃgavaḥ). Hence ce_ref null.

Verse 2 (7.119.2)

दुर्योधनं च निर्जित्य शूरं चैव सुयोधनम् । जलसन्धं निहत्याजौ शूरसेनं च पार्थिवम् ॥

duryodhanaṃ ca nirjitya śūraṃ caiva suyodhanam | jalasandhaṃ nihatyājau śūrasenaṃ ca pārthivam

having defeated Duryodhana, and the brave Suyodhana too, having slain in the fight Jalasandha and the king of the Shurasenas,

Note on the text: Removed the page's stray asterisk before the first word. Not in the critical edition's main text; its two lines appear there as star passage 7.95.1b*0661_01–02 (line 1 reads sudarśanam for the page's सुयोधनम्, a recension variant).

Verse 3 (7.119.3)

म्लेच्छांश्च बहुधा राजन्काश्यपुत्रं च संयुगे । निषादांस्तङ्कणांश्चैव कलिङ्गान्मगधानपि ॥

mlecchāṃśca bahudhā rājankāśyaputraṃ ca saṃyuge | niṣādāṃstaṅkaṇāṃścaiva kaliṅgānmagadhānapi

and the Mlecchas in many ways, O king, and the son of the Kashya king in the battle; the Nishadas, the Tankanas, the Kalingas and the Magadhas;

the Kekayas and the Shurasenas, and the dwellers in the mountains, the Kambojas, the Yavanas, the Vasatis and the Shibis;

kosalānmagadhāṃścaiva yātudhānānsatittirān | etāṃścānyānraṇe hatvā'gacchadyuddhe sa sātyakiḥ

the Kosalas and the Magadhas, the Yatudhanas and the Tittiras: these and others he slew in the fight, and that Satyaki went on in the battle.

Verse 6 (7.119.6)

रुधिरौघनदीं घोरां केशशैवालशाद्वलाम् । शक्तिग्राहसमाकीर्णां छत्रहंसोपशोभिताम् ॥

Having set flowing a dreadful river of streaming blood, with hair for its moss and reeds, thick with spears for crocodiles, adorned with umbrellas for swans,

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's main text; its two lines appear there as star passage 7.95.1b*0661_09–10 (line 1 there reads rudhiraughanadīṃ, the page's रुधिरौघनदीं being the same word).

Verse 7 (7.119.7)

दुस्तरां भीरुभिर्नित्यं शूरलोकप्रवाहिनीम् । प्रवर्त्य हृषितो राजन्पुनर्यन्तारमब्रवीत् ॥

dustarāṃ bhīrubhirnityaṃ śūralokapravāhinīm | pravartya hṛṣito rājanpunaryantāramabravīt

always hard for cowards to cross, carrying men on to the world of heroes, he was delighted, O king, and again spoke to his charioteer:

Note on the text: Line 1 is CE star passage 7.95.1b*0661_11; line 2 (प्रवर्त्य हृषितो राजन्पुनर्यन्तारमब्रवीत्) is a variant of CE 7.95.1c (sudarśanaṃ nihatyājau yantāram idam abravīt). Hence ce_ref null.

Verse 8 (7.119.8)

ध्वजनागाश्वकलिलं शरशक्त्यूर्मिमालिनम् । खड्गमत्स्यं गदाग्राहं शूरायुधमहास्वनम् ॥

dhvajanāgāśvakalilaṃ śaraśaktyūrmimālinam | khaḍgamatsyaṃ gadāgrāhaṃ śūrāyudhamahāsvanam

"Thronged with banners, elephants and horses, with waves of arrows and spears, with swords for fish and maces for crocodiles, loud with the great din of heroes' weapons,

Note on the text: Speaker set to Satyaki: the page prints no heading, but from here to verse 24 it is his speech to the charioteer, introduced in verse 7. Corrected खङ्कमत्स्यं → खड्गमत्स्यं (misprint in Wikisource; the critical edition reads khaḍgamatsyaṃ) and removed a stray apostrophe after शरशक्त्यूर्मिमालिनम्. Line 1 begins ध्वजनाग… where the critical edition reads rathāśvanāga…, a recension variant.

प्राणापहारिणं रौद्रं वादित्रोद्धुष्टनादितम् । शूराणां सुखसंस्पर्शमस्पृश्यमथ भीरुणाम् । तीर्णाः स्म दुस्तरं तात द्रोणानीकमहार्णवम् ॥

prāṇāpahāriṇaṃ raudraṃ vāditroddhuṣṭanāditam | śūrāṇāṃ sukhasaṃsparśamaspṛśyamatha bhīruṇām | tīrṇāḥ sma dustaraṃ tāta droṇānīkamahārṇavam

taking away life, dreadful, resounding with the clamour of drums, pleasant to the touch of heroes, untouchable by cowards: we have crossed, my friend, this hard-to-cross ocean of Drona's army,

Note on the text: Lines 1–2 are CE 7.95.3 (line 2 differs: CE yodhānām asukhasparśaṃ durdharṣam ajayaiṣiṇām, a recension variant); line 3 is CE 7.95.4a (tīrṇāḥ sma dustaraṃ tāta droṇānīkamahārṇavam).

Verse 10 (7.119.10)

जलसन्धबलेनाजौ पुरुषादैरिवावृतम् । अतोऽन्यत्पृतनाशेषं मन्ये कुनदिकामिव ॥

jalasandhabalenājau puruṣādairivāvṛtam | ato'nyatpṛtanāśeṣaṃ manye kunadikāmiva

which was beset in the battle by Jalasandha's force as if by man-eaters. What remains of the army beyond this I take to be like a wretched stream,

Note on the text: Line 1 is CE 7.95.4c (jalasaṃdhabalenājau puruṣādair ivāvṛtam); line 2 is a variant of CE 7.95.5a (ato 'nyaṃ pṛtanāśeṣaṃ manye kunadikām iva).

tartavyāmalpasalilāṃ codayāśvānasambhramam | hastaprāptamahaṃ manye sāmprataṃ savyasācinam

one to be crossed, with little water. Urge the horses on without alarm. I now consider Savyasachin to be within reach.

nirjitya durdharaṃ droṇaṃ sapadānugamāhave | hārdikyaṃ yodhavaryaṃ ca manye prāptaṃ dhanañjayam

Having defeated in the battle Drona, so hard to withstand, together with his followers, and Hardikya, the best of warriors, I think Dhananjaya has been reached.

Note on the text: Line 1 is CE 7.95.6c; line 2 is CE 7.95.7a (hārdikyaṃ yodhavaryaṃ ca prāptaṃ manye dhanaṃjayam), with the words in a different order.

Verse 13 (7.119.13)

न हि मे जायते त्रासो दृष्ट्वा सैन्यान्यनेकशः । वह्नेरिव प्रदीप्तस्य वने शुष्कतृणालयम् ॥

na hi me jāyate trāso dṛṣṭvā sainyānyanekaśaḥ | vahneriva pradīptasya vane śuṣkatṛṇālayam

I feel no fear at the sight of these many armies, as a blazing fire has none, in a forest, at the sight of dry grass.

Note on the text: Line 1 is CE 7.95.7c; line 2 is a variant of CE 7.95.7e (vahner iva pradīptasya grīṣme śuṣkaṃ tṛṇolapam).

paśya pāṇḍavamukhyena yātāṃ bhūmiṃ kirīṭinā | pattyaśvarathanāgaughaiḥ patitairviṣamīkṛtām

Look at the ground the foremost of the Pandavas, the diadem-wearer, has passed over, made uneven by heaps of fallen foot-soldiers, horses, chariots and elephants.

Verse 15 (7.119.15)

द्रवते तद्यथा सैन्यं तेन भग्नं महात्मना । रथैर्विपरिधावद्भिर्गजैरश्वैश्च सारथे । कौशेयारुणसंकाशमेतदुद्वूयते रजः ॥

dravate tadyathā sainyaṃ tena bhagnaṃ mahātmanā | rathairviparidhāvadbhirgajairaśvaiśca sārathe | kauśeyāruṇasaṃkāśametadudvūyate rajaḥ

As that army, broken by the great-souled one, flees with chariots, elephants and horses running about, O charioteer, this dust, red as silk, is being raised.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's main text; its three lines appear there as star passage 7.95.8d*0663_01–03 (after 7.95.8).

Verse 16 (7.119.16)

अभ्याशस्थमहं मन्ये श्वेताश्वं कृष्णसारथिम् ॥

abhyāśasthamahaṃ manye śvetāśvaṃ kṛṣṇasārathim

I think the white-horsed one, whose charioteer is Krishna, is close at hand.

Verse 17 (7.119.17)

श्रूयते ह्येष निर्घोषो जलदस्येव गर्जतः । विष्फार्यमाणस्य रणे गाण्डीवस्यामितौजसः ॥

śrūyate hyeṣa nirghoṣo jaladasyeva garjataḥ | viṣphāryamāṇasya raṇe gāṇḍīvasyāmitaujasaḥ

That roar is heard, like the roar of a thundering cloud, of the boundless-powered Gandiva as it is drawn in the battle.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's main text; line 1 appears there as star passage 7.95.9d*0664_01 and line 2 as 7.95.9d*0665_01 (after 7.95.9).

Verse 18 (7.119.18)

अभ्याशस्थमहं मन्ये सैन्धवस्य किरीटिनम् । तादृशः श्रूयते शब्दः सैन्यानां सागरोपमः ॥

abhyāśasthamahaṃ manye saindhavasya kirīṭinam | tādṛśaḥ śrūyate śabdaḥ sainyānāṃ sāgaropamaḥ

I think the diadem-wearer is close to the Saindhava. Such a sound is heard, of armies, like the sea.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's main text; its two lines appear there as star passage 7.95.9d*0665_02–03 (after 7.95.9).

Verse 19 (7.119.19)

यादृशानि निमित्तानि मम प्रादुर्भवन्ति वै । अनस्तंगत आदित्ये हन्ता सैन्धवमर्जुनः ॥

शनैर्विस्रम्भयन्नश्वान्याहि यत्रारिवाहिनी ॥

śanairvisrambhayannaśvānyāhi yatrārivāhinī

Calm the horses and go gently to where the enemy's army is,

Note on the text: A single line, as printed (5-119-20a); it is a variant of CE 7.95.11a (śanair viśrambhayann aśvān yāhi yatto 'rivāhinīm). The sentence continues in verse 21.

where these Kambojas stand, wearing gauntlets and armour, cruel in deed, mad for battle, with Suyodhana at their head,

Note on the text: Corrected सतलत्रामाः → सतलत्राणाः (misprint in Wikisource; म for ण; 'with gauntlets', the critical edition reads satanutrāṇāḥ, 'with armour'). Line 1 is CE 7.95.11c; line 2 is CE 7.95.12a.

Verse 22 (7.119.22)

शरबाणासनधरा यवनाश्च प्रहारिणः । शकाः किराता दरदा बर्बरास्ताम्रलिप्तकाः ॥

अन्ये च बहवो म्लेच्छा विविधायुधपाणयः । मामेवाभिमुखाः सर्वे तिष्ठन्ति समरार्थिनः ॥

anye ca bahavo mlecchā vividhāyudhapāṇayaḥ | māmevābhimukhāḥ sarve tiṣṭhanti samarārthinaḥ

and many other Mlecchas with weapons of many kinds in hand: all of them stand facing me alone, eager for the fight.

Note on the text: Line 1 is CE 7.95.13c; line 2 is CE 7.95.13e.

Verse 24 (7.119.24)

एतान्सरथनागाश्वान्निहत्याजौ सपत्तिनः । इदं दुर्गं महाघोरं तीर्णमेवोपधारय ॥

Verse 25 (7.119.25)

Verse 27 (7.119.27)

त्वया सुबहवो युद्धे निर्जिताः शत्रुसूदन । दंशिताः क्रूरकर्माणः काम्भोजा युद्धदुर्मदाः ॥

tvayā subahavo yuddhe nirjitāḥ śatrusūdana | daṃśitāḥ krūrakarmāṇaḥ kāmbhojā yuddhadurmadāḥ

You have conquered very many in the fight, O slayer of foes: the armoured, cruel-acting Kambojas, mad for battle,

Note on the text: Corrected दंशिताःक्रूरकर्माणः → दंशिताः क्रूरकर्माणः (a missing space after the visarga). Line 1 is CE 7.95.17a; line 2 repeats the text of verse 21's line 2 (CE 7.95.12a) and is not in the critical edition at this place (vulgate-only repetition).

Verse 28 (7.119.28)

शरबाणासनधरा यवनाश्च प्रहारिणः । शकाः किराता दरदा बर्बरास्ताम्रलिप्तकाः । अन्ये च बहवो म्लेच्छा विविधायुधपाणयः ॥

śarabāṇāsanadharā yavanāśca prahāriṇaḥ | śakāḥ kirātā daradā barbarāstāmraliptakāḥ | anye ca bahavo mlecchā vividhāyudhapāṇayaḥ

the Yavanas, bearing bows and arrows, deadly strikers, the Shakas, Kiratas, Daradas, Barbaras and Tamraliptakas, and many other Mlecchas with weapons of many kinds in hand.

Note on the text: Corrected शरवाणासनधरा → शरबाणासनधरा (misprint in Wikisource; व for ब; the same line in verse 22 and the critical edition read śarabāṇāsanadharā). Not in the critical edition at this place: the three lines repeat CE 7.95.12c, 13a and 13c (as in verses 22–23) and are vulgate-only here.

Verse 29 (7.119.29)

न च मे सम्भ्रमः कश्चिद्भूतपूर्वः कथञ्चन । किमुतैतत्समासाद्य धीरं संयुगगोष्पदम् ॥

na ca me sambhramaḥ kaścidbhūtapūrvaḥ kathañcana | kimutaitatsamāsādya dhīraṃ saṃyugagoṣpadam

Never at any time before have I felt any alarm: what then now, on reaching this battle, a mere cow's hoofprint to the steadfast?

Note on the text: Line 1 is CE 7.95.17c (na ca me saṃbhramaḥ kaś cid bhūtapūrvaḥ kadā cana; the page reads कथञ्चन); line 2 is CE 7.95.17e (kim u caitat samāsādya vīra saṃyugagoṣpadam). The page reads धीरं where the CE has the vocative vīra; kept as printed, unsure whether धीरं is a variant or a misprint, and translated as 'the steadfast'.

Verse 30 (7.119.30)

आयुष्मन्कतरेण त्वां प्रापयामि धनञ्जयम् । केभ्यः क्रुद्धोऽसि वार्ष्णेय कान्स्विन्मृत्युरुपस्थितः ॥

āyuṣmankatareṇa tvāṃ prāpayāmi dhanañjayam | kebhyaḥ kruddho'si vārṣṇeya kānsvinmṛtyurupasthitaḥ

Long-lived one, by which way shall I take you to Dhananjaya? Against whom are you angry, descendant of Vrishni? For whom has death come near?

Verse 31 (7.119.31)

केषां सङ्घमनीकस्य हन्तुमुत्सहते मनः । केत्वां युधि पराक्रान्तं कालान्तकयमोपमम् ॥

keṣāṃ saṅghamanīkasya hantumutsahate manaḥ | ketvāṃ yudhi parākrāntaṃ kālāntakayamopamam

Whose host of the army does your mind wish to destroy? Who, seeing you attack in the fray, like Time, Death and Yama,

Note on the text: Line 1 is a variant of CE 7.95.18e (keṣāṃ saṃyamanīm adya gantum utsahate manaḥ); line 2 is CE 7.95.19a.

Verse 32 (7.119.32)

दृष्ट्वा विक्रमसम्पन्नं विद्रविष्यन्ति संयुगे । केषां वैवस्वतो राजा स्मरतेऽद्य महाभुज ॥

dṛṣṭvā vikramasampannaṃ vidraviṣyanti saṃyuge | keṣāṃ vaivasvato rājā smarate'dya mahābhuja

and in your valour will run away in the battle? Whom does King Vaivasvata remember today, O mighty-armed one?"

Verse 33 (7.119.33)

मुण्डानेतान्हनिष्यामि दानवानिव वासवः । प्रतिज्ञां पारयिष्यामि काम्भोजानेव मां वह ॥

muṇḍānetānhaniṣyāmi dānavāniva vāsavaḥ | pratijñāṃ pārayiṣyāmi kāmbhojāneva māṃ vaha

"I shall slay these shaven-headed ones as Vasava slew the Danavas; I shall make good my vow. Carry me to the Kambojas alone.

Note on the text: The alignment found no match; verse = CE 7.95.20a and 20c (muṇḍān etān haniṣyāmi dānavān iva vāsavaḥ / pratijñāṃ pārayiṣyāmi kāmbojān eva mā vaha). The speaker heading (सात्यकिरुवाच) is the page's own.

Verse 34 (7.119.34)

अद्यैषां कदनं कृत्वा क्षिप्रं यास्यामि पाण्डवम् ॥

adyaiṣāṃ kadanaṃ kṛtvā kṣipraṃ yāsyāmi pāṇḍavam

Having made a slaughter of them quickly, I shall go to the Pandava.

Note on the text: Restored अद्यैषां for the page's placeholder "xxxxx" (letters lost in Wikisource), from CE 7.95.20e (adyaiṣāṃ kadanaṃ kṛtvā kṣipraṃ yāsyāmi pāṇḍavam). The line is printed as a single line (5-119-34a).

Verse 35 (7.119.35)

अद्य द्रक्ष्यन्ति मे वीर्यं कौरवाः ससुयोधनाः । मुण्डानीके हते सूत सर्वसैन्येषु चासकृत् ॥

adya drakṣyanti me vīryaṃ kauravāḥ sasuyodhanāḥ | muṇḍānīke hate sūta sarvasainyeṣu cāsakṛt

Today the Kauravas with Suyodhana will see my prowess, when the army of the shaven-headed has been slaughtered again and again, O charioteer, among all the armies.

Note on the text: Restored अद्य द्रक्ष्यन्ति … and मुण्डानीके हते … for the page's placeholders "xxxxx" and "xxxxxx" (letters lost in Wikisource, leaving only …यन्ति and …नाके), from CE 7.95.21a and 21c (adya drakṣyanti me vīryaṃ kauravāḥ sasuyodhanāḥ / muṇḍānīke hate sūta sarvasainyeṣu cāsakṛt).

Verse 36 (7.119.36)

अद्य कौरवसैन्यस्य दीर्यमाणस्य संयुगे । श्रुत्वा विरावं बहुधा सन्तप्स्यति सुयोधनः ॥

adya kauravasainyasya dīryamāṇasya saṃyuge | śrutvā virāvaṃ bahudhā santapsyati suyodhanaḥ

Today, hearing the manifold cries of the Kaurava army being torn apart in the battle, Suyodhana will grieve.

Note on the text: Corrected दीर्घमाणस्य → दीर्यमाणस्य (misprint in Wikisource; घ for य; 'being torn apart', the critical edition reads dīryamāṇasya).

Verse 37 (7.119.37)

अद्य पाण्डवमुख्यस्य श्वेताश्वस्य महात्मनः । आचार्यककृतं मार्गं दर्शयिष्यामि संयुगे ॥

adya pāṇḍavamukhyasya śvetāśvasya mahātmanaḥ | ācāryakakṛtaṃ mārgaṃ darśayiṣyāmi saṃyuge

Today, in battle, I shall show the path of the great-souled chief of the Pandavas, the white-horsed one, the path his teacher made.

Verse 38 (7.119.38)

अद्य मद्बाणनिहतान्योधमुख्यान्सहस्रशः । दृष्ट्वा दुर्योधनो राजा पश्चात्तापं गमिष्यति ॥

adya madbāṇanihatānyodhamukhyānsahasraśaḥ | dṛṣṭvā duryodhano rājā paścāttāpaṃ gamiṣyati

Today King Duryodhana, seeing thousands of leading warriors struck down by my arrows, will come to repent.

Verse 39 (7.119.39)

अद्य मे क्षिप्रहस्तस्य क्षिपतः सायकोत्तमान् । अलातचक्रप्रतिमं धनुर्द्रक्ष्यन्ति कौरवाः ॥

adya me kṣiprahastasya kṣipataḥ sāyakottamān | alātacakrapratimaṃ dhanurdrakṣyanti kauravāḥ

Today the Kauravas will see my bow, as I, quick of hand, loose the best of arrows, like a whirling circle of fire.

Verse 40 (7.119.40)

मत्सायकचिताङ्गानां रुधिरं स्रवतां मुहुः । सैनिकानां वधं दृष्ट्वा सन्तप्स्यति सुयोधनः ॥

matsāyakacitāṅgānāṃ rudhiraṃ sravatāṃ muhuḥ | sainikānāṃ vadhaṃ dṛṣṭvā santapsyati suyodhanaḥ

Seeing the slaughter of the soldiers, their limbs studded with my arrows, ever streaming with blood, Suyodhana will grieve.

Verse 41 (7.119.41)

अद्य मे क्रुद्धरूपस्य निघ्नतश्च वरान्वरान् । द्विफल्गुनमिमं लोकं मंस्यतेऽद्य सुयोधनः ॥

adya me kruddharūpasya nighnataśca varānvarān | dviphalgunamimaṃ lokaṃ maṃsyate'dya suyodhanaḥ

Today, as I rage and strike down the best of them one after another, Suyodhana will think this world holds two Phalgunas.

Note on the text: Corrected द्विफल्गुनामिमं → द्विफल्गुनमिमं (misprint in Wikisource; a stray ā; the critical edition reads dvir arjunam imaṃ lokaṃ, 'a world with a second Arjuna').
