Sanjaya Names the Warriors Still Alive

Verse 1 (8.4.1)

मामकस्यास्य सैन्यस्य हृतोत्सेकस्य सञ्जय । अवशेषं न पश्यामि ककुदे मृदिते सति ॥

māmakasyāsya sainyasya hṛtotsekasya sañjaya | avaśeṣaṃ na paśyāmi kakude mṛdite sati

Sanjaya, this army of mine has lost its arrogance, and with its very crest crushed I can see no remnant of it left.

Note on the text: Corrected स़ञ्जय → सञ्जय (misprint in Wikisource; a stray nukta under स). The first three verses of this page are CE 8.5.106–108 (the CE ends its adhyaya 5 with them). Wikisource's हृतोत्सेकस्य is kept where the CE reads hṛtotsedhasya (a variant).

Verse 2 (8.4.2)

तौ हि वीरौ महेष्वासौ मदर्थे कुरुसत्तमौ । भीष्मद्रोणौ हतौ श्रुत्वा कोन्वर्थो जीवितेन मे ॥

tau hi vīrau maheṣvāsau madarthe kurusattamau | bhīṣmadroṇau hatau śrutvā konvartho jīvitena me

Those two heroes, the great archers, the best of the Kurus, who stood for my sake, Bhishma and Drona: now that I have heard they are slain, what use is life to me?

Verse 3 (8.4.3)

न च मृष्यामि राधेयं हतमाहवशोभिनम् । यस्य बाह्वोर्बलं तुल्यं कुञ्जराणां शतं शतम् ॥

na ca mṛṣyāmi rādheyaṃ hatamāhavaśobhinam | yasya bāhvorbalaṃ tulyaṃ kuñjarāṇāṃ śataṃ śatam

Nor can I bear that Radheya, the glory of the battlefield, lies dead, he whose arms had the strength of a hundred hundred elephants.

Note on the text: Wikisource's word order of line 1 differs from CE 8.5.108a (similarity 0.949); a recension variant, Wikisource's reading kept.

Verse 4 (8.4.4)

हतप्रवरसैन्यं मे यथा शंससि सञ्जय । अहतानपि मे शंस येऽत्र जीवन्ति केचन ॥

hatapravarasainyaṃ me yathā śaṃsasi sañjaya | ahatānapi me śaṃsa ye'tra jīvanti kecana

Sanjaya, you have told me how my army has lost its foremost warriors; now tell me also of those who have not been slain, whoever still lives here.

Note on the text: Wikisource's wording differs from CE 8.4.88 (hatapravīre sainye 'smin māmake vadatāṃ vara / ahatāñ śaṃsa me sūta ye 'tra jīvanti ke cana); a recension variant, Wikisource's reading kept. The automatic alignment found no match; the CE verse is 8.4.88.

Verse 5 (8.4.5)

एतेषु हि मृतेष्वद्य ये त्वया परिकीर्तिताः । येऽपि जीवन्ति ते सर्वे मृता इति मतिर्मम ॥

eteṣu hi mṛteṣvadya ye tvayā parikīrtitāḥ | ye'pi jīvanti te sarve mṛtā iti matirmama

For now that those you have named are dead, I hold that even those who still live are all as good as dead.

Note on the text: Line 1 corresponds to CE 8.4.89ab; line 2 differs from CE 8.4.89cd (ahatān manyase yāṃs tvaṃ te 'pi svargajito matāḥ); a recension variant, Wikisource's reading kept. The automatic alignment found no match; the CE verse is 8.4.89.

Verse 6 (8.4.6)

यस्मिन्महास्त्राणि समर्पितानि । चित्राणि शुभ्राणि चतुर्विधानि । दिव्यानि राजन्विहितानि चैव । द्रोणेन वीरद्विजसत्तमेन ॥

yasminmahāstrāṇi samarpitāni | citrāṇi śubhrāṇi caturvidhāni | divyāni rājanvihitāni caiva | droṇena vīradvijasattamena

He in whom Drona, the heroic best of the twice-born, laid up the great weapons, O king, wondrous and bright, of four kinds, divine and duly ordained,

Note on the text: Corrected वीरे द्विजसत्तमेन → वीरद्विजसत्तमेन (misprint in Wikisource; वीरे does not fit the construction; the critical edition reads vīradvijasattamena, "by Drona, the heroic best of brahmins"). विहितानि is kept where the CE reads nihitāni (a variant). Verses 6–7 form one sentence.

Verse 7 (8.4.7)

महारथः कृतिमान्क्षिप्रहस्तो । दृढायुधो दृढमुष्टिर्दृढेषुः । स वीर्यवान्द्रोणपुत्रस्तरस्वी । व्यवस्थितो योद्धुकामस्त्वदर्थे ॥

mahārathaḥ kṛtimānkṣiprahasto | dṛḍhāyudho dṛḍhamuṣṭirdṛḍheṣuḥ | sa vīryavāndroṇaputrastarasvī | vyavasthito yoddhukāmastvadarthe

that great car-warrior, the skilled, swift-handed son of Drona, of firm weapons, firm grip and firm arrows, the mighty and impetuous one, stands ready to fight for you.

Note on the text: Corrected योद्वुकामस्त्वदर्थे → योद्धुकामस्त्वदर्थे (misprint in Wikisource; ध written as द्व; the critical edition reads yoddhukāmas tvadarthe).

Verse 8 (8.4.8)

आनर्तवासी हृदिकात्मजोऽसौ । महारथः सात्वतानां वरिष्ठः । स्वयं भोजः कृतवर्मा कृतास्त्रो । व्यवस्थितो योद्धुकामस्त्वदर्थे ॥

ānartavāsī hṛdikātmajo'sau | mahārathaḥ sātvatānāṃ variṣṭhaḥ | svayaṃ bhojaḥ kṛtavarmā kṛtāstro | vyavasthito yoddhukāmastvadarthe

The dweller of Anarta, the son of Hridika, that great car-warrior, foremost of the Satvatas, Bhoja Kritavarma himself, skilled in weapons, stands ready to fight for you.

Note on the text: Corrected योद्वुकामस्त्वदर्थे → योद्धुकामस्त्वदर्थे (misprint in Wikisource; ध written as द्व; the critical edition reads yoddhukāmas tvadarthe).

Verse 9 (8.4.9)

आर्तायनिः समरे दुष्प्रकम्प्यः । सेनाग्रणीः प्रथमस्तावकानाम् । यः स्वस्रीयान्पाण्डवेयान्विसृज्य । सत्यां वाचं स्वां चिकीर्षुस्तरस्वी ॥

ārtāyaniḥ samare duṣprakampyaḥ | senāgraṇīḥ prathamastāvakānām | yaḥ svasrīyānpāṇḍaveyānvisṛjya | satyāṃ vācaṃ svāṃ cikīrṣustarasvī

Artayani, unshakable in battle, the first leader of your forces, the swift and mighty one, who, setting aside the Pandavas, his sister's sons, wishes to make his own word true,

Note on the text: Wikisource's wording of lines 3–4 differs from CE 8.4.94cd (svasreyāṃs tān pāṇḍaveyān visṛjya / satyāṃ vācaṃ tāṃ cikīrṣus tarasvī; similarity 0.92); a recension variant, Wikisource's reading kept. Verses 9–10 form one sentence.

Verse 10 (8.4.10)

तेजोवधं सूतपुत्रस्य सङ्ख्ये । प्रतिश्रुत्याजातशत्रोः पुरस्तात् । दुराधर्षः शक्रसमानवीर्यः । शल्यः स्थितो योद्धुकामस्त्वदर्थे ॥

tejovadhaṃ sūtaputrasya saṅkhye | pratiśrutyājātaśatroḥ purastāt | durādharṣaḥ śakrasamānavīryaḥ | śalyaḥ sthito yoddhukāmastvadarthe

having promised Ajatashatru to his face that he would sap the might of the charioteer's son in battle, Shalya, hard to assail, equal to Shakra in prowess, stands ready to fight for you.

Note on the text: Corrected तजोवधं → तेजोवधं (misprint in Wikisource; a dropped vowel sign; the critical edition reads tejovadhaṃ) and योद्वुकामस्त्वदर्थे → योद्धुकामस्त्वदर्थे (ध written as द्व; CE yoddhukāmas tvadarthe).

Verse 11 (8.4.11)

शारद्वतो गौतमश्चापि राजन् । महाबाहुचित्रास्त्रयोधी । धनुश्चित्रं सुमहद्भारसाहं । व्यवस्थितो योद्धुकामः प्रगृह्य ॥

śāradvato gautamaścāpi rājan | mahābāhucitrāstrayodhī | dhanuścitraṃ sumahadbhārasāhaṃ | vyavasthito yoddhukāmaḥ pragṛhya

Sharadvata Gautama too, O king, the long-armed fighter with wondrous weapons, taking up his great and wondrous bow, able to bear the heaviest strain, stands ready to fight.

Note on the text: Corrected भावरसाहं → भारसाहं (misprint in Wikisource; the critical edition reads bhārasāhaṃ, "able to bear a heavy burden") and योद्वुकामः → योद्धुकामः (ध written as द्व; CE yoddhukāmaḥ). The page splits the sandhi राजन्/महाबाहु across lines 1–2 (राज-- / न्महाबाहु, with a double hyphen); written here with राजन् at the end of line 1. Wikisource's wording differs from CE 8.4.93 (mahābalo bahucitrāstrayodhī; yotsyamānaḥ; similarity 0.891) and on the page this verse stands after the verse that is CE 8.4.95; a recension variant, Wikisource's reading kept.

Verse 12 (8.4.12)

गान्धारराजः ससुतश्च राजन् । दुर्द्यूतदेवी कलहप्रियश्च । गान्धारमुख्यैर्यवनैश्च राजन् । व्यवस्थितो योद्धुकामस्त्वदर्थे ॥

gāndhārarājaḥ sasutaśca rājan | durdyūtadevī kalahapriyaśca | gāndhāramukhyairyavanaiśca rājan | vyavasthito yoddhukāmastvadarthe

The king of Gandhara with his son, O king, the gambler at the foul game of dice, fond of quarrels, together with the chief Gandharas and the Yavanas, O king, stands ready to fight for you.

Note on the text: Corrected योद्वुकामस्त्वदर्थे → योद्धुकामस्त्वदर्थे (ध written as द्व; CE yoddhukāmas tvadarthe). The page splits the sandhi राजन् across lines (राज-- / न्..., double hyphens, at the end of lines 1 and 3); written here with राजन् at the end of lines 1 and 3. Not in the critical edition's main text; the four lines are its star passage 8.4.96d*0040_01–04 (placed after CE 8.4.96, whose own text, ājāneyaiḥ saindhavaiḥ pārvatīyaiḥ…, is not on the page).

Verse 13 (8.4.13)

महारथः केकयराजपुत्रः । सदश्वयुक्तं च पताकिनं च । रथं समारुह्य कुरुप्रवीर । व्यवस्थितो योद्धुकामस्त्वदर्थे ॥

mahārathaḥ kekayarājaputraḥ | sadaśvayuktaṃ ca patākinaṃ ca | rathaṃ samāruhya kurupravīra | vyavasthito yoddhukāmastvadarthe

The Kekaya prince, a great car-warrior, having mounted a chariot with fine horses and a banner, O hero of the Kurus, stands ready to fight for you.

Note on the text: Corrected योद्वुकामस्त्वदर्थे → योद्धुकामस्त्वदर्थे (ध written as द्व; CE yoddhukāmas tvadarthe). Not in the critical edition's main text; it appears there as the star passage 8.4.93d*0039_01–04 (line 1 महारथः where the CE reads mahābalaḥ; line 3 रथं where it reads rathāgryam; lines 2 and 4 agree).

Verse 14 (8.4.14)

तथा सुतस्ते ज्वलनार्कवर्णं । रथं समास्थाय कुरुप्रवीरः । व्यवस्थितः पुरुमित्रो नरेन्द्र । व्यभ्रे सूर्यो भ्राजमानो यथा खे ॥

tathā sutaste jvalanārkavarṇaṃ | rathaṃ samāsthāya kurupravīraḥ | vyavasthitaḥ purumitro narendra | vyabhre sūryo bhrājamāno yathā khe

And your son, a hero of the Kurus, Purumitra, O lord of men, stands on a chariot that blazes like fire and the sun, shining like the sun in a cloudless sky.

Note on the text: Wikisource's पुरुमित्रः where the CE reads kurumitraḥ, and कुरुप्रवीरः for kurupravīra in line 2; recension variants, Wikisource's reading kept.

Verse 15 (8.4.15)

दुर्योधनो नागकुलस्य मध्ये । व्यवस्थितः सिंह इवाबभासे । रथेन जाम्बूनदभूषणेन । व्यवस्थितः समरे योत्स्यमानः ॥

duryodhano nāgakulasya madhye | vyavasthitaḥ siṃha ivābabhāse | rathena jāmbūnadabhūṣaṇena | vyavasthitaḥ samare yotsyamānaḥ

Duryodhana, standing in the midst of the herd of elephants, shone like a lion; on his chariot adorned with gold he stands ready to fight in the battle.

Note on the text: Lines 1 and 3 agree with CE 8.4.98ac; lines 2 and 4 differ (CE: mahāvīryaḥ saha sainyapravīraiḥ; … yoddhukāmaḥ), similarity 0.755; a recension variant, Wikisource's reading kept.

Verse 16 (8.4.16)

स राजमध्ये पुरुषप्रवीरो । रराज जाम्बूनदचित्रवर्मा । पद्मप्रभो वह्निरिवाल्पधूमो । मेघान्तरे सूर्य इव प्रकाशः ॥

sa rājamadhye puruṣapravīro | rarāja jāmbūnadacitravarmā | padmaprabho vahnirivālpadhūmo | meghāntare sūrya iva prakāśaḥ

In the midst of the kings that foremost of men, in his wondrous golden armour, shone with the radiance of a lotus, like a fire with little smoke, like the sun's brilliance amid the clouds.

Verse 17 (8.4.17)

तथा सुषेणोऽप्यसिचर्मपाणिः । तवात्मजः सत्यसेनश्च वीरः । व्यवस्थितौ चित्रसेनेन सार्धं । हृष्टात्मानौ समरे योद्धुकामौ ॥

tathā suṣeṇo'pyasicarmapāṇiḥ | tavātmajaḥ satyasenaśca vīraḥ | vyavasthitau citrasenena sārdhaṃ | hṛṣṭātmānau samare yoddhukāmau

So too Sushena, sword and shield in hand, your son, and the heroic Satyasena stand together with Chitrasena, glad of heart and eager to fight in the battle.

Note on the text: Corrected योद्धकामौ → योद्धुकामौ (misprint in Wikisource; a dropped vowel sign; the critical edition reads yoddhukāmau). The page splits the sandhi पाणिस्तवात्मजः across lines 1–2 (पाणि-- / स्तवात्मजः, with a double hyphen); written here as पाणिः at the end of line 1 and तवात्मजः at the start of line 2 (the critical edition reads asicarmapāṇis tavātmajaḥ).

Verse 18 (8.4.18)

ह्रीनिषेवो भारतराजपुत्र । उग्रायुधः श्रुतवर्मा जयश्च । शलश्च सत्यव्रतदुःशलौ च । व्यवस्थिताः सहसैन्या नराग्र्याः ॥

hrīniṣevo bhāratarājaputra | ugrāyudhaḥ śrutavarmā jayaśca | śalaśca satyavrataduḥśalau ca | vyavasthitāḥ sahasainyā narāgryāḥ

Hrinisheva, a Bharata prince, Ugrayudha, Shrutavarma and Jaya, Shala, and Satyavrata and Duhshala, these foremost of men stand ready with their troops.

Note on the text: Corrected हीनिषेवो → ह्रीनिषेवो (misprint in Wikisource; a dropped conjunct; the critical edition reads hrīniṣedhā). Wikisource's wording differs from CE 8.4.101 (similarity 0.757: श्रुतवर्मा for śrutakarmā; the CE has citrāyudhaḥ in line 2 and vyavasthitā balino yoddhukāmāḥ in the last line); recension variants, Wikisource's reading kept. The CE also has a star passage after 8.4.101a (*0041_01–02: ugrāyudhaḥ kṣaṇabhojī sudarśaḥ / jārāsaṃdhiḥ prathamaś cādṛḍhaś ca) that is not on the page.

Verse 19 (8.4.19)

कैतव्यानामधिपः शूरमानी । रणेरणे शत्रुहा राजपुत्रः । रथी हयी नागपत्तिप्रयायी । व्यवस्थितो योद्धुकामस्त्वदर्थे ॥

kaitavyānāmadhipaḥ śūramānī | raṇeraṇe śatruhā rājaputraḥ | rathī hayī nāgapattiprayāyī | vyavasthito yoddhukāmastvadarthe

The lord of the Kaitavyas, proud of his valour, the prince who slays his foes in battle after battle, with chariots and horses, and accustomed to march with elephants and foot-soldiers, stands ready to fight for you.

Note on the text: Corrected योद्वुकामस्त्वदर्थे → योद्धुकामस्त्वदर्थे (ध written as द्व; CE yoddhukāmas tvadarthe). Line 3 reads रथी हयी नागपत्तिप्रयायी where the CE reads patrī hayī nāgarathaprayāyī (a variant; the page's own gloss also records नागरथप्रयायी as a variant reading); Wikisource's reading kept.

Verse 20 (8.4.20)

वीरः श्रुतायुश्च धृतायुधश्च । चित्राङ्गदश्चित्रसेनश्च वीरः । व्यवस्थिता योद्धुकामा नराग्र्याः । प्रहारिणो मानिनः सत्यसन्धाः ॥

vīraḥ śrutāyuśca dhṛtāyudhaśca | citrāṅgadaścitrasenaśca vīraḥ | vyavasthitā yoddhukāmā narāgryāḥ | prahāriṇo māninaḥ satyasandhāḥ

The hero Shrutayu, Dhritayudha, Chitrangada and the hero Chitrasena, these foremost of men, strikers, proud and true to their word, stand eager to fight.

Note on the text: Corrected योद्वुकामा → योद्धुकामा (misprint in Wikisource; ध written as द्व; the critical edition reads yoddhukāmāḥ in its parallel verse). Wikisource's wording differs from CE 8.4.103 (similarity 0.844: धृतायुधः for śrutāyudhaḥ, चित्रसेन for citravarmā, and line 3); recension variants, Wikisource's reading kept.

Verse 21 (8.4.21)

कर्णात्मजः सत्यसन्धो महात्मा । व्यवस्थितः समरे योद्धुकामः ॥

karṇātmajaḥ satyasandho mahātmā | vyavasthitaḥ samare yoddhukāmaḥ

Karna's son, great-souled and true to his word, stands ready in the battle, eager to fight.

Note on the text: Corrected योद्वुकामः → योद्धुकामः (ध written as द्व; CE yoddhukāmaḥ). The two lines are CE 8.4.104ab (the CE's six-pāda verse is divided by Wikisource into this verse and the next); Wikisource's सत्यसन्धः where the CE reads satyasenaḥ is a variant, Wikisource's reading kept. The automatic alignment found no match; the CE verse is 8.4.104.

Verse 22 (8.4.22)

अथापरौ कर्णसुतौ वरास्त्रौ । व्यवस्थितौ लघुहस्तौ नरेन्द्र । बले महत्युल्बणसत्ववीर्यौ । समास्थितौ योद्धुकामौ त्वदर्थे ॥

athāparau karṇasutau varāstrau | vyavasthitau laghuhastau narendra | bale mahatyulbaṇasatvavīryau | samāsthitau yoddhukāmau tvadarthe

And two other sons of Karna, masters of the finest weapons, swift-handed, stand ready, O lord of men; in the great host, of fierce strength and valour, they have taken their stand, eager to fight for you.

Note on the text: Corrected योद्वुकामौ → योद्धुकामौ (misprint in Wikisource; ध written as द्व; CE yoddhukāmau). The four lines correspond to the last four pādas of CE 8.4.104 (athāparau karṇasutau varārhau…); Wikisource's wording of lines 1 and 3 differs (वरास्त्रौ; बले महत्युल्बणसत्ववीर्यौ for balaṃ mahad durbhidam alpadhairyaiḥ); recension variants, Wikisource's reading kept. The automatic alignment found no match; the CE verse is 8.4.104.

Verse 23 (8.4.23)

एतैश्च मुख्यैरपरैश्च राजन् । योधप्रवीरैरमितप्रभावैः । व्यवस्थितो नागकुलस्य मध्ये । यथा महेन्द्रः कुरुराजो जयाय ॥

etaiśca mukhyairaparaiśca rājan | yodhapravīrairamitaprabhāvaiḥ | vyavasthito nāgakulasya madhye | yathā mahendraḥ kururājo jayāya

With these chiefs and others, O king, foremost warriors of immeasurable power, the Kuru king stands in the midst of the herd of elephants for victory, like Mahendra.

Note on the text: The page splits the sandhi राजन् across lines 1–2 (राज-- / न्योधप्रवीरैः, with a double hyphen); written here with राजन् at the end of line 1 and योधप्रवीरैः at the start of line 2.

Verse 24 (8.4.24)

आख्याता जीवमाना ये परे सैन्या यथायथम् । इतीदमवगच्छामि व्यक्तमर्थाभिपत्तितः ॥

ākhyātā jīvamānā ye pare sainyā yathāyatham | itīdamavagacchāmi vyaktamarthābhipattitaḥ

Those of the other host who are still alive, the leaders of the armies, have been named in due order; and from the sense of all this I now clearly understand how matters stand.

Note on the text: Wikisource's wording differs from CE 8.4.106 (similarity 0.886: परे सैन्या यथायथम् for parebhyo 'nye yathātatham); a recension variant, Wikisource's reading kept.

Verse 25 (8.4.25)

एवं ब्रुवन्नेव तदा धृतराष्ट्रोऽम्बिकासुतः । हतप्रवीरं भूयिष्ठं किञ्चिच्छेषं स्वकं बलम् । श्रुत्वा व्यामोहमागच्छच्छोकव्याकुलितेन्द्रियः ॥

evaṃ bruvanneva tadā dhṛtarāṣṭro'mbikāsutaḥ | hatapravīraṃ bhūyiṣṭhaṃ kiñciccheṣaṃ svakaṃ balam | śrutvā vyāmohamāgacchacchokavyākulitendriyaḥ

While he was still speaking so, Dhritarashtra, the son of Ambika, hearing that his own army had lost most of its heroes and that only a little of it remained, fell into bewilderment, his senses overwhelmed with grief.

Note on the text: Wikisource's wording of line 2 differs from CE 8.4.107 (hatapravīraṃ vidhvastaṃ…; similarity 0.904); a recension variant, Wikisource's reading kept. The CE's next line (8.4.108a, muhyamāno 'bravīc cāpi muhūrtaṃ tiṣṭha saṃjaya) is not on the page.

Verse 26 (8.4.26)

व्याकुलं मे मनस्तात श्रुत्वा सुमहदप्रियम् । मनो मुह्यति चाङ्गानि न च शक्नोमि धावितुम् ॥

vyākulaṃ me manastāta śrutvā sumahadapriyam | mano muhyati cāṅgāni na ca śaknomi dhāvitum

My mind is distraught, my dear Sanjaya, at hearing such utterly unwelcome news; my mind reels and my limbs fail, and I cannot even run.

Note on the text: Verse split: the page's single verse 8-4-26 (four lines, printed under the heading वैशम्पायन उवाच) begins with Dhritarashtra's own words. Lines 1–2 are his speech (CE 8.4.108c and the star passage 8.4.108d*0042_01; Wikisource's धावितुम् is kept where the CE reads dhāritum, "hold myself up"), and the narrator resumes with line 3 (see the next verse). The page prints a double danda after line 1, taken as a slip for a single danda. The CE's preceding line (8.4.108a, muhyamāno 'bravīc cāpi muhūrtaṃ tiṣṭha saṃjaya) is not on the page. The automatic alignment found no match.

Verse 27 (8.4.27)

इत्येवमुक्त्वा वचनं धृतराष्ट्रोऽम्बिकासुतः । भ्रान्तचित्तस्ततः सोऽथ बभूव जगतीपतिः ॥

ityevamuktvā vacanaṃ dhṛtarāṣṭro'mbikāsutaḥ | bhrāntacittastataḥ so'tha babhūva jagatīpatiḥ

Having spoken these words, Dhritarashtra, the son of Ambika, lord of the earth, then became distracted in mind.

Note on the text: Verse split: the second half of the page's verse 8-4-26 (lines 3–4), the narrator's words after Dhritarashtra's speech in the previous verse (see the note there). CE 8.4.108d*0042_02 and 8.4.108e (Wikisource's भ्रान्तचित्तः where the CE reads naṣṭacittaḥ; a variant, Wikisource's reading kept).
