Arjuna's Chariot Burns; Krishna Goes to Gandhari

Verse 1 (9.63.1)

ततस्ते प्रययुः सर्वे निवासाय महीक्षितः । शङ्खान्प्रध्मापयन्तो वै हृष्टाः परिघबाहवः ॥

tataste prayayuḥ sarve nivāsāya mahīkṣitaḥ | śaṅkhānpradhmāpayanto vai hṛṣṭāḥ parighabāhavaḥ

Then all those kings set out for their resting places, blowing their conchs joyfully, their arms like iron bars.

Verse 2 (9.63.2)

पाण्डवान्गच्छतश्चापि शिबिरं नो विशाम्पते । महेष्वासोऽन्वगात्पश्चाद्युयुत्सुः सात्यकिस्तथा ॥

pāṇḍavāngacchataścāpi śibiraṃ no viśāmpate | maheṣvāso'nvagātpaścādyuyutsuḥ sātyakistathā

As the Pandavas went to our camp, O lord of the people, the great archer Yuyutsu followed behind them, and Satyaki as well.

Verse 3 (9.63.3)

धृष्टद्युम्नः शिखण्डी च द्रौपदेयाश्च सर्वशः । सर्वे चान्ये महेष्वासा ययुः स्वशिबिराण्युत ॥

dhṛṣṭadyumnaḥ śikhaṇḍī ca draupadeyāśca sarvaśaḥ | sarve cānye maheṣvāsā yayuḥ svaśibirāṇyuta

Dhrishtadyumna, Shikhandi, the sons of Draupadi, every one of them, and all the other great archers went to their own camps.

Verse 4 (9.63.4)

ततस्ते प्राविशन्पार्था हतत्विट्कं हतेश्वरम् । दुर्योधनस्य शिबिरं रङ्गवन्निःसृते जने ॥

tataste prāviśanpārthā hatatviṭkaṃ hateśvaram | duryodhanasya śibiraṃ raṅgavanniḥsṛte jane

Then the Pandavas entered Duryodhana's camp, which had lost its splendour and its lord and stood like an empty theatre after the crowd has gone out.

Verse 5 (9.63.5)

गतोत्सवं पुरमिव हृतनागमिव ह्रदम् । स्त्रीवर्षवरभूयिष्ठं वृद्धामात्यैरधिष्ठितम् ॥

gatotsavaṃ puramiva hṛtanāgamiva hradam | strīvarṣavarabhūyiṣṭhaṃ vṛddhāmātyairadhiṣṭhitam

It was like a city whose festival is over, like a lake whose elephant has been carried off, filled for the most part with women and eunuchs and watched over by aged counsellors.

Note on the text: Corrected हदम् → ह्रदम् (misprint in Wikisource; dropped conjunct; the critical edition reads hradam).

Verse 6 (9.63.6)

तत्रैतान्पर्युपातिष्ठन्दुर्योधन पुरःसराः । कृताञ्जलिपुटा राजन्काषायमलिनाम्बराः ॥

tatraitānparyupātiṣṭhanduryodhana puraḥsarāḥ | kṛtāñjalipuṭā rājankāṣāyamalināmbarāḥ

There, O king, those who had once gone before Duryodhana waited on them with joined palms, in soiled saffron-coloured garments.

Verse 7 (9.63.7)

शिबिरं समनुप्राप्य कुरुराजस्य पाण्डवाः । अवतेरुर्महाराज रथेभ्यो रथसत्तमाः ॥

śibiraṃ samanuprāpya kururājasya pāṇḍavāḥ | avaterurmahārāja rathebhyo rathasattamāḥ

Reaching the camp of the king of the Kurus, the Pandavas, O great king, those best of chariot-warriors, stepped down from their chariots.

tato gāṇḍīvadhanvānamabhyabhāṣata keśavaḥ | sthitaḥ priyahite nityamatīva bharatarṣabha

Then Keshava addressed the wielder of the Gandiva: "You who are always firm in what is dear and good, O best of the Bharatas,

Note on the text: Line 1 is narration (Sanjaya) and line 2 begins Krishna's words, which continue in verse 9; the verse is given to the narrator.

Verse 9 (9.63.9)

अवरोपय गाण्डीवमक्षयौ च महेषुधी । अथाहमवरोक्ष्यामि पश्चाद्भरतसत्तम । स्वयं चैवावरोह त्वमेतच्छ्रेयस्तवानघ ॥

avaropaya gāṇḍīvamakṣayau ca maheṣudhī | athāhamavarokṣyāmi paścādbharatasattama | svayaṃ caivāvaroha tvametacchreyastavānagha

set down the Gandiva and the two great quivers that never empty. Then I shall get down afterwards, best of the Bharatas. You must get down first yourself; this is better for you, sinless one."

Note on the text: Direct speech of Krishna with no printed heading; speaker given to Vasudeva (the input carried Sanjaya over). Lines 1–2 are the critical edition's 9.61.9ac; line 3 is its 9.61.10a (Wikisource divides the critical edition's verses 9–10 differently).

Verse 10 (9.63.10)

तच्चाकरोत्तथा वीरः पाण्डुपुत्रो धनञ्जयः ॥

taccākarottathā vīraḥ pāṇḍuputro dhanañjayaḥ

The hero Dhananjaya, son of Pandu, did exactly that.

Note on the text: Matches the critical edition's 9.61.10c (9.61.10a stands as line 3 of the previous Wikisource verse).

अथ पश्चात्ततः कृष्णो रश्मीनुत्सृज्य वाजिनाम् । अवारोहत मेधावी रथाद्गाण्डीवधन्वनः ॥

atha paścāttataḥ kṛṣṇo raśmīnutsṛjya vājinām | avārohata medhāvī rathādgāṇḍīvadhanvanaḥ

Then, afterwards, wise Krishna let go of the horses' reins and stepped down from the chariot of the wielder of the Gandiva.

Verse 12 (9.63.12)

अथावतीर्णे भूतानामीश्वरे सुमहात्मनि । कपिरप्याश्वपाक्रामत्सहदेवैर्ध्वजालयैः ॥

athāvatīrṇe bhūtānāmīśvare sumahātmani | kapirapyāśvapākrāmatsahadevairdhvajālayaiḥ

When that great-souled Lord of beings had stepped down, the ape swiftly left the chariot together with the gods who dwelt in the banner.

Note on the text: Not matched by the alignment: line 1 is the critical edition's 9.61.12a; line 2 is a recension variant of 9.61.12c (kapir antardadhe divyo dhvajo gāṇḍīvadhanvanaḥ).

Verse 13 (9.63.13)

स दग्धो द्रोणकर्णाभ्यां दिव्यैरस्त्रैर्महारथः । अथ दीप्तोऽग्निना ह्याशु प्रजज्वाल महीपते ॥

sa dagdho droṇakarṇābhyāṃ divyairastrairmahārathaḥ | atha dīpto'gninā hyāśu prajajvāla mahīpate

That great chariot, already burned by the divine weapons of Drona and Karna, now suddenly blazed up, set aflame by fire, O lord of the earth.

Verse 14 (9.63.14)

सोपासङ्गः सरश्मिश्च साश्वः सयुगबन्धनः । भस्मीभूतोऽपतद्भूमौ रथो गाण्डीवधन्वनः ॥

sopāsaṅgaḥ saraśmiśca sāśvaḥ sayugabandhanaḥ | bhasmībhūto'patadbhūmau ratho gāṇḍīvadhanvanaḥ

With its quiver-cases, its reins, its horses and its yoke-fastenings, the chariot of the wielder of the Gandiva fell to the ground, turned to ashes.

Verse 15 (9.63.15)

तं तथा भस्मभूतं तु दृष्ट्वा पाण्डुसुताः प्रभो । अभवन्विस्मिता राजन्नर्जुनश्चेदमब्रवीत् ॥

taṃ tathā bhasmabhūtaṃ tu dṛṣṭvā pāṇḍusutāḥ prabho | abhavanvismitā rājannarjunaścedamabravīt

Seeing it reduced to ashes, O lord, the sons of Pandu were amazed, O king, and Arjuna said this:

Verse 16 (9.63.16)

कृताञ्जलिः सप्रणयं प्रणिपत्याभिवाद्य ह । गोविन्द कस्माद्भगवन्रथो दग्धोऽयमग्निना ॥

kṛtāñjaliḥ sapraṇayaṃ praṇipatyābhivādya ha | govinda kasmādbhagavanratho dagdho'yamagninā

With joined palms, lovingly, he bowed and saluted him, and said, "Govinda, Lord, why has this chariot been burned by fire?

Note on the text: Corrected गोवन्द → गोविन्द (misprint in Wikisource; the vocative of Govinda, as in the critical edition). Arjuna's direct speech has no printed heading (line 1 of verse 15 ends with the narrator's "Arjuna said this"); speaker given to Arjuna (the input carried Sanjaya over).

Verse 17 (9.63.17)

किमेतन्महदाश्चर्यमभवद्यदुनन्दन । तन्मे ब्रूहि महाबाहो श्रोतव्यं यदि मन्यसे ॥

kimetanmahadāścaryamabhavadyadunandana | tanme brūhi mahābāho śrotavyaṃ yadi manyase

droṇakarṇāstranirdagdhaḥ pūrvamevāyamarjuna | madāsthitatvātsamare na viśīrṇaḥ parantapa

Vasudeva said: "Long ago, Arjuna, this chariot was burned by the weapons of Drona and Karna; because I stood upon it in battle it did not fall apart, O scorcher of foes.

Note on the text: Line 1 is a recension variant of the critical edition's 9.61.18a (astrair bahuvidhair dagdhaḥ pūrvam evāyam arjuna); line 2 is a close variant of 18c.

Verse 19 (9.63.19)

इदानीं तु विशीर्णोऽयं दग्धो ब्रह्मास्त्रतेजसा । मया विमुक्तः कौन्तेय त्वय्यद्य कृतकर्मणि ॥

idānīṃ tu viśīrṇo'yaṃ dagdho brahmāstratejasā | mayā vimuktaḥ kaunteya tvayyadya kṛtakarmaṇi

Now it has fallen apart, burned by the fire of the Brahma weapon, because I have released it, son of Kunti, now that your task is done."

Verse 20 (9.63.20)

ईषदुत्स्मयमानस्तु भगवान्केशवोऽरिहा । परिष्वज्य च राजानं युधिष्ठिरमभाषत ॥

īṣadutsmayamānastu bhagavānkeśavo'rihā | pariṣvajya ca rājānaṃ yudhiṣṭhiramabhāṣata

With a faint smile, the Blessed Keshava, slayer of enemies, embraced King Yudhishthira and said to him:

Verse 21 (9.63.21)

दिष्ट्या जयसि कौन्तेय दिष्ट्या ते शत्रवो जिताः । दिष्ट्या गाण्डीवधन्वा च भीमसेनश्च पाण्डवः ॥

diṣṭyā jayasi kaunteya diṣṭyā te śatravo jitāḥ | diṣṭyā gāṇḍīvadhanvā ca bhīmasenaśca pāṇḍavaḥ

"By good fortune you have won, son of Kunti; by good fortune your enemies are conquered; by good fortune the wielder of the Gandiva and Bhimasena the Pandava are safe.

Note on the text: Krishna's direct speech to Yudhishthira with no printed heading (verses 21–26); speaker given to Vasudeva (the input carried Sanjaya over).

Verse 22 (9.63.22)

त्वं चापि कुशली राजन्माद्रीपुत्रौ च पाण्डवौ । मुक्ता वीरक्षयादस्मात्सङ्ग्रामान्निहतद्विषः । क्षिप्रमुत्तरकालानि कुरु कार्याणि भारत ॥

tvaṃ cāpi kuśalī rājanmādrīputrau ca pāṇḍavau | muktā vīrakṣayādasmātsaṅgrāmānnihatadviṣaḥ | kṣipramuttarakālāni kuru kāryāṇi bhārata

And you too are well, O king, and the two Pandava sons of Madri; you have come through this battle that destroyed heroes, your enemies slain. Quickly, Bharata, do the tasks that come next.

Verse 23 (9.63.23)

उपयातमुपप्लाव्यं सह गाण्डीवधन्वना । आनीय मधुपर्कं मां यत्पुरा त्वमवोचथाः ॥

एष भ्राता सखा चैव तव कृष्ण धनञ्जयः । रक्षितव्यो महाबाहो सर्वास्वापत्स्विति प्रभो ॥

eṣa bhrātā sakhā caiva tava kṛṣṇa dhanañjayaḥ | rakṣitavyo mahābāho sarvāsvāpatsviti prabho

"This Dhananjaya is your brother and your friend, Krishna; he must be guarded in every danger, O mighty-armed lord."

Note on the text: Krishna quotes Yudhishthira's earlier words; the speech is Krishna's, as in verse 21. Matches the critical edition's 9.61.24ac (not matched by the alignment); line 3 of that verse stands as the next Wikisource verse.

Verse 25 (9.63.25)

तव चैव ब्रुवाणस्य तथेत्येवाहमब्रुवम् ॥

tava caiva bruvāṇasya tathetyevāhamabruvam

And as you spoke, I answered, "So be it."

Note on the text: Matches the critical edition's 9.61.24e (the third line of its verse 24), which Wikisource prints as a one-line verse with its own verse-end mark; the division is kept as printed. Krishna's speech, as in verse 21.

Verse 26 (9.63.26)

स सव्यसाची गुप्तस्ते विजयी च जनेश्वर । भ्रातृभिः सह राजेन्द्र शूरः सत्यपराक्रमः । मुक्तो वीरक्षयादस्मात्सङ्ग्रामाद्रोमहर्षणात् ॥

sa savyasācī guptaste vijayī ca janeśvara | bhrātṛbhiḥ saha rājendra śūraḥ satyaparākramaḥ | mukto vīrakṣayādasmātsaṅgrāmādromaharṣaṇāt

That left-handed archer, guarded by you, is victorious, O lord of men; and with his brothers, brave and true in valour, O king of kings, he has come through this hair-raising battle that destroyed heroes."

Note on the text: Merged two input rows (both numbered 26) into one three-line verse: the raw page prints the first line alone as 9-63-26a with no verse-end mark, and the next row (labelled 26a/26c, evidently 26b/26c) completes it; the critical edition's 9.61.25 has the same three lines. Krishna's speech, as in verse 21.

Verse 27 (9.63.27)

एवमुक्तस्तु कृष्णेन धर्मराजो युधिष्ठिरः । हृष्टरोमा महाराज प्रत्युवाच जनार्दनम् ॥

evamuktastu kṛṣṇena dharmarājo yudhiṣṭhiraḥ | hṛṣṭaromā mahārāja pratyuvāca janārdanam

Spoken to thus by Krishna, Yudhishthira, the king of dharma, his hair bristling with joy, answered Janardana, O great king.

Verse 28 (9.63.28)

pramuktaṃ droṇakarṇābhyāṃ brahmāstramarimardana | kastvadanyaḥ sahetsākṣādapi vajrī purandaraḥ

Yudhishthira said: "The Brahma weapon was loosed by Drona and Karna, O crusher of foes; who other than you could have faced it, even Purandara, the wielder of the thunderbolt?

Verse 29 (9.63.29)

भवतस्तु प्रसादेन संग्रामे बहवो हताः । महारणगतः पार्थो यच्च नासीत्पराङ्मुखः ॥

bhavatastu prasādena saṃgrāme bahavo hatāḥ | mahāraṇagataḥ pārtho yacca nāsītparāṅmukhaḥ

By your grace many were slain in battle, and Partha, though he went into the great battle, never turned his back.

Verse 30 (9.63.30)

तथा तव महाबाहो पर्यायैर्बहुभिर्मया । कर्मणामनुसन्धानात्तेजस्वी जगति श्रुता ॥

tathā tava mahābāho paryāyairbahubhirmayā | karmaṇāmanusandhānāttejasvī jagati śrutā

And so, mighty-armed one, over many turns of fortune I have come to know, from following the course of your deeds, that you are glorious in the world.

Note on the text: Corrected कर्मणआमनुसन्धानात् → कर्मणामनुसन्धानात् (misprint in Wikisource; stray आ; cf. the critical edition's karmaṇām anusaṃtānam). Line 2 otherwise follows Wikisource, a recension variant of 9.61.29c (tejasaś ca gatiḥ śubhā); the page's commentary records two other readings of it, which are not published. The critical edition's 9.61.29a matches line 1.

उपप्लाव्ये महर्षिर्मे कृष्णद्वैपायनोऽब्रवीत् । यतो धर्मस्ततः कृष्णो यतः कृष्णस्ततो जयः ॥

upaplāvye maharṣirme kṛṣṇadvaipāyano'bravīt | yato dharmastataḥ kṛṣṇo yataḥ kṛṣṇastato jayaḥ

At Upaplavya the great seer Krishna Dvaipayana told me: "Where there is dharma, there is Krishna; where there is Krishna, there is victory."

Verse 32 (9.63.32)

एवमुक्तस्ततः कृष्णः प्रत्युवाच युधिष्ठिरम् । न तुल्याश्चार्जुनस्येह बलेन कुरुनन्दन ॥

evamuktastataḥ kṛṣṇaḥ pratyuvāca yudhiṣṭhiram | na tulyāścārjunasyeha balena kurunandana

Spoken to thus, Krishna answered Yudhishthira: "None here is a match for Arjuna in strength, O joy of the Kurus.

Note on the text: Removed the stray backtick (the page opens a quotation here that runs to verse 39). Not in the critical edition's constituted text (found in the vulgate recension): line 1 is Appendix I No. 5 (printed after 9.61.30d) line 5_0001, line 2 is line 5_0003 (the Appendix line 5_0002, akṣauhiṇyo daśāṣṭau ca tava teṣāṃ ca bhārata, is not on this page; Wikisource has tulyāḥ for the Appendix's tulyaḥ). Line 1 is narration and line 2 begins Krishna's reply, which runs on to verse 39; the verse is given to the narrator.

Verse 33 (9.63.33)

sa eṣa sarvāṇyastrāṇi divyāni prāpya śaṅkarāt | matsamo vā viśiṣṭo vā raṇe tvamiti pāṇḍavaḥ | anujñātaḥ pāṇḍusutaḥ punaḥ pratyāgamanmahīm

He received all the divine weapons from Shankara, who said to him, "In battle you are my equal or greater, Pandava"; and with leave given, the son of Pandu came back to earth.

Note on the text: Corrected सत्समो → मत्समो (misprint in Wikisource; स for म; the critical edition reads matsamo). Not in the critical edition's constituted text (found in the vulgate recension): the three lines are Appendix I No. 5 (printed after 9.61.30d) lines 5_0004–0006. Krishna's reply to Yudhishthira, which begins in verse 32 and has no further heading; speaker given to Vasudeva (the input carried Yudhishthira over).

sadevāsuragandharvānsayakṣoragarākṣasān | trīnvā lokānvijetuṃ sa śaktaḥ kimiha mānuṣān

He is able to conquer the three worlds, with their gods, asuras, gandharvas, yakshas, serpents and rakshasas; what then of mere men here?

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text (found in the vulgate recension): Appendix I No. 5 (printed after 9.61.30d) lines 5_0011–0012 (line 1 varied: Wikisource sayakṣoragarākṣasān, the Appendix sayakṣoragakiṃnarān). Krishna's speech; the input carried Yudhishthira over.

vidhinā vihitaṃ cāsau mayā sañcodito'pi san | na cakāra matiṃ hantuṃ tataste balavattarāḥ

But it was ordained by Fate; and though I urged him on, he did not set his mind on slaying them, and so they proved the stronger.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's constituted text (found in the vulgate recension): Appendix I No. 5 (printed after 9.61.30d) lines 5_0013–0014 (line 2 varied: Wikisource tataste balavattarāḥ, the Appendix kṛtānto balavattaraḥ). Krishna's speech; the input carried Yudhishthira over.

atra gītā mayā suṣṭhu giraḥ satyā mahīpate | darśitaṃ mayi sarvaṃ ca tenāsau jitavānripūn

In this matter, O lord of the earth, I have spoken true words well; everything was shown in me, and by that he conquered his enemies.

Note on the text: Corrected दर्सितं → दर्शितं (misprint in Wikisource; स for श; the critical edition reads darśitam). Not in the critical edition's constituted text (found in the vulgate recension): Appendix I No. 5 (printed after 9.61.30d) lines 5_0015–0016. Krishna's speech; the input carried Yudhishthira over.
