Yudhishthira Embraces Krishna and Arjuna

Verse 1 (7.150.1)

ततो राजानमभ्येत्य धर्मपुत्रं युधिष्ठिरम् । ववन्दे सम्प्रहृष्टात्मा हते पार्थेन सैन्धवे ॥

tato rājānamabhyetya dharmaputraṃ yudhiṣṭhiram | vavande samprahṛṣṭātmā hate pārthena saindhave

Then, with a heart full of joy that Saindhava had been slain by Partha, he approached King Yudhishthira, son of Dharma, and bowed to him.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's main text: the two lines correspond to the CE star passage 7.124.1*1078_01–02, with variants (page "ववन्दे सम्प्रहृष्टात्मा हते पार्थेन सैन्धवे" for the CE's "cacakṣe saṃprahṛṣṭātmā hataṃ pārthena saindhavam"), kept. The subject of "ववन्दे" (Krishna) is not named.

Verse 2 (7.150.2)

दिष्ट्या वर्धसि राजेन्द्र हतशत्रुर्नरोत्तम । दिष्ट्या निस्तीर्णवांश्चैव प्रतिज्ञामनुजस्तव ॥

diṣṭyā vardhasi rājendra hataśatrurnarottama | diṣṭyā nistīrṇavāṃścaiva pratijñāmanujastava

‘By good fortune you prosper, king of kings, your enemy slain, best of men! By good fortune your younger brother has fulfilled his vow.’

Note on the text: Corrected निस्तीर्णवांशैव → निस्तीर्णवांश्चैव (misprint in Wikisource; the conjunct श्च dropped, CE nistīrṇavāṃś caiva). Not in the critical edition's main text: the two lines are the CE star passage 7.124.1*1078_03–04. No heading is printed; the words are Krishna's greeting to Yudhishthira, so the speaker is Vasudeva (Krishna) (the input carried Sanjaya over).

sa tvevamuktaḥ kṛṣṇena hṛṣṭaḥ parapurañjayaḥ | tato yudhiṣṭhiro rājā rathādāplutya bhārata | paryaṣvajattadā kṛṣṇāvānandāśrupariplutaḥ

Thus addressed by Krishna, that conqueror of hostile cities rejoiced. Then King Yudhishthira leapt down from his chariot, O Bharata, and, bathed in tears of joy, embraced the two Krishnas.

Wiping his face, bright and shining like a white lotus, he spoke to Vasudeva and to the Pandava Dhananjaya:

Verse 5 (7.150.5)

प्रियमेतदुपश्रुत्य त्वत्तः पुष्करलोचन । नान्तं गच्छामि हर्षस्य तितीर्षुरुदधेरिव ॥

priyametadupaśrutya tvattaḥ puṣkaralocana | nāntaṃ gacchāmi harṣasya titīrṣurudadheriva

Yet it is no great wonder for those whose refuge you are. For those whose lord is you, Madhusudana, the teacher of all the worlds, nothing in the three worlds is hard to do.

They are being struck down, they have been struck down, and they will perish, Keshava; these Kauravas have been slain by your wrath, destroyer of foes.

Note on the text: Page heading: "युधिष्ठिर उवाच". On the page these words are Yudhishthira's to Keshava (the page has "केशव" where the CE has "bhārata"); in the CE verses 7.124.20–26a are still the speech of the two Krishnas to Yudhishthira. CE 7.124.21.

durlabho vijayasteṣāṃ saṅgrāme ripughātinām | yātā mṛtyuvaśaṃ te vai yeṣāṃ kruddho'pi mādhava

Victory in battle is hard to win for those foe-slayers, Madhava, with whom you are angry; they have surely gone under the power of death.

vinaṣṭānkauravānmanye saputrapaśubāndhavān | rājadharmapare nityaṃ tvayi kruddhe parantapa

Now that you, ever intent on a king's duty, are angry, scorcher of foes, I think the Kauravas are ruined, with their sons, cattle, and kinsmen.

Note on the text: Page heading: "भगवानुवाच" (the CE has "śrībhagavān uvāca" only as a star line, 7.124.26b*1085_00, after line a, followed by the star line *1085_01 "evam etan mahābāho vinaṣṭāḥ kauravā mṛdhe", which is not on the page). The page's two lines are CE 7.124.26a and 26c.

Then mighty-armed Bhima and the great chariot-warrior Satyaki, wounded and pierced all over by arrows, saluted their eldest and revered elder and stood there, those two great archers, surrounded by the Panchalas.
