The Palaces of the Kauravas Are Shared Out

Verse 1 (12.43.1)

ततो विसर्जयामास सर्वास्ताः प्रकृतीर्नृपः । विविशुश्चाभ्यनुज्ञाता यथास्वानि गृहाणि ते ॥

tato visarjayāmāsa sarvāstāḥ prakṛtīrnṛpaḥ | viviśuścābhyanujñātā yathāsvāni gṛhāṇi te

Then the king dismissed all those townspeople, and, having been given leave, they went to their own houses.

Note on the text: Adhyaya note: the page is the right adhyaya (rows labelled 12-43-1 to 12-43-16; the colophon reads त्रिचत्वारिंशोऽध्यायः । 43). Its text is the critical edition's 12.44.1-16 (the CE numbers this adhyaya 44; no star passages), verse for verse. The title line above the table is a heading, not a verse. The page ends with its colophon, with no glosses and no other block after it. Speakers: the page heads Vaishampayana for the whole adhyaya; verses 3-5 are Yudhishthira's speech to his brothers, unheaded (the input carried Vaishampayana over), and are given to him. Line 2 ends ते where the CE has ca (recension variant).

Verse 2 (12.43.2)

ततो युधिष्ठिरो राजा भीमं भीमपराक्रमम् । सान्त्वयन्नब्रवीच्छ्रीमानर्जुनं यमजौ तथा ॥

tato yudhiṣṭhiro rājā bhīmaṃ bhīmaparākramam | sāntvayannabravīcchrīmānarjunaṃ yamajau tathā

Then the glorious King Yudhishthira comforted Bhima of fearful valour, and Arjuna and the twins, and said:

Verse 3 (12.43.3)

शत्रुभिर्विविधैः शस्त्रैः क्षतदेहा महारणे । श्रान्ता भवन्तः सुभृशं तापिताः शोकमन्युभिः ॥

śatrubhirvividhaiḥ śastraiḥ kṣatadehā mahāraṇe | śrāntā bhavantaḥ subhṛśaṃ tāpitāḥ śokamanyubhiḥ

"In the great battle your bodies were wounded by the enemies' many weapons, and you are greatly worn out, tormented by grief and anger."

Note on the text: Yudhishthira's words to his brothers, unheaded; the input carried Vaishampayana over.

Verse 4 (12.43.4)

अरण्ये दुःखवसतिर्मत्कृते भरतर्षभाः । भवद्भिरनुभूता हि यथा कापुरुषैस्तथा ॥

araṇye duḥkhavasatirmatkṛte bharatarṣabhāḥ | bhavadbhiranubhūtā hi yathā kāpuruṣaistathā

"In the forest, for my sake, you bore a life of hardship, O best of the Bharatas, as if you were wretched men."

Note on the text: Yudhishthira's words to his brothers, unheaded; the input carried Vaishampayana over. Line 2 reads यथा कापुरुषैस्तथा where the CE has yathā kupuruṣais tathā (recension variant).

Verse 5 (12.43.5)

यथासुखं यथाजोषं जयोऽयमनुभूयताम् । विश्रान्ताँल्लब्धविश्वासाञ्श्वः समेताऽस्मि वः पुनः ॥

yathāsukhaṃ yathājoṣaṃ jayo'yamanubhūyatām | viśrāntām̐llabdhaviśvāsāñśvaḥ sametā'smi vaḥ punaḥ

"Enjoy this victory at your ease, as you please. When you have rested and recovered your trust, I shall meet you again tomorrow."

Note on the text: Yudhishthira's words to his brothers, unheaded; the input carried Vaishampayana over.

Verse 6 (12.43.6)

ततो दुर्योधनगृहं प्रासादैरुपशोभितम् । बहुरत्नसमाकीर्णं दासीदाससमाकुलम् ॥

tato duryodhanagṛhaṃ prāsādairupaśobhitam | bahuratnasamākīrṇaṃ dāsīdāsasamākulam

Then Duryodhana's house, adorned with palaces, filled with many jewels and crowded with maidservants and servants,

Verse 7 (12.43.7)

धृतराष्ट्राभ्यनुज्ञातं भ्रात्रा दत्तं वृकोदरः । प्रतिपेदे महाबाहुर्मन्दिरं मघवानिव ॥

dhṛtarāṣṭrābhyanujñātaṃ bhrātrā dattaṃ vṛkodaraḥ | pratipede mahābāhurmandiraṃ maghavāniva

which Dhritarashtra approved and his brother Yudhishthira gave, the mighty-armed Vrikodara took, like Indra taking a mansion.

Verse 8 (12.43.8)

यथा दुर्योधनगृहं तथा दुःशासनस्य तु । प्रासादमालासंयुक्तं हेमतोरणभूषितम् ॥

yathā duryodhanagṛhaṃ tathā duḥśāsanasya tu | prāsādamālāsaṃyuktaṃ hematoraṇabhūṣitam

As Duryodhana's house was, so was Duhshasana's, furnished with rows of palaces and adorned with golden gateways,

Note on the text: Corrected प्रासादभालासंयुक्तं → प्रासादमालासंयुक्तं (misprint in Wikisource; भ for म; the critical edition reads prāsādamālāsaṃyuktaṃ, "furnished with rows of palaces"). Line 1 ends तु where the CE has ca (recension variant).

Verse 9 (12.43.9)

दासीदाससुसंपूर्णं प्रभूतधनधान्यवत् । प्रतिपेदे महाबाहुरर्जुनो राजशासनात् ॥

dāsīdāsasusaṃpūrṇaṃ prabhūtadhanadhānyavat | pratipede mahābāhurarjuno rājaśāsanāt

full of maidservants and servants, with abundant wealth and grain: that the mighty-armed Arjuna took by the king's order.

Verse 10 (12.43.10)

दुर्मर्षणस्य भवनं दुःशासनगृहाद्वरम् । कुबेरभवनप्रख्यं मणिहेमविभूषितम् ॥

durmarṣaṇasya bhavanaṃ duḥśāsanagṛhādvaram | kuberabhavanaprakhyaṃ maṇihemavibhūṣitam

Durmarshana's mansion, finer than Duhshasana's house, like the mansion of Kubera, adorned with jewels and gold,

Verse 11 (12.43.11)

नकुलाय वरार्हाय कर्शिताय महावने । ददौ प्रीतो महाराज धर्मपुत्रो युधिष्ठिरः ॥

nakulāya varārhāya karśitāya mahāvane | dadau prīto mahārāja dharmaputro yudhiṣṭhiraḥ

Yudhishthira, the son of Dharma, gladly gave to Nakula, who was worthy of the best and had been worn out in the great forest, O great king.

Verse 12 (12.43.12)

दुर्मुखस्य च वेश्माग्र्यं श्रीमत्कनकभूषणम् । पूर्णपद्मदलाक्षीणां स्त्रीणां शयनसंकुलम् ॥

durmukhasya ca veśmāgryaṃ śrīmatkanakabhūṣaṇam | pūrṇapadmadalākṣīṇāṃ strīṇāṃ śayanasaṃkulam

And Durmukha's fine mansion, splendid, adorned with gold, crowded with the beds of women with eyes like lotus petals,

Note on the text: Corrected पूर्णपझदलाक्षीणां → पूर्णपद्मदलाक्षीणां (misprint in Wikisource; झ for द्म; the critical edition reads pūrṇaṃ padmadalākṣīṇām). The reading पूर्ण ("full of") is the Wikisource form; the CE has the adverbial pūrṇaṃ.

Verse 13 (12.43.13)

प्रददौ सहदेवाय संततं प्रियकारिणे । मुमुदे तच्च लब्ध्वाऽसौ कैलासं धनदो यथा ॥

pradadau sahadevāya saṃtataṃ priyakāriṇe | mumude tacca labdhvā'sau kailāsaṃ dhanado yathā

he gave to Sahadeva, who was always dear to him; and Sahadeva rejoiced to receive it, like Dhanada on Kailasa.

Verse 14 (12.43.14)

युयुत्सुर्विदुरश्चैव सञ्जयश्च विशांपते । सुधर्मा चैव धौम्यश्च यथा स्वाञ्जग्मुरालयान् ॥

yuyutsurviduraścaiva sañjayaśca viśāṃpate | sudharmā caiva dhaumyaśca yathā svāñjagmurālayān

Yuyutsu, Vidura and Sanjaya, O lord of the people, and Sudharma and Dhaumya went each to their own dwellings.

Note on the text: Line 1 ends विशांपते where the CE has mahādyutiḥ, and line 2 यथा स्वाञ्जग्मुरालयान् for yathāsvaṃ jagmur ālayān (recension variants).

Verse 15 (12.43.15)

सह सात्यकिना शौरिरर्जुनस्य निवेशनम् । विवेश पुरुषव्याघ्रो व्याघ्रो गिरिगुहामिव ॥

saha sātyakinā śaurirarjunasya niveśanam | viveśa puruṣavyāghro vyāghro giriguhāmiva

With Satyaki, Shauri, the tiger among men, entered Arjuna's residence, as a tiger enters a mountain cave.

Verse 16 (12.43.16)

तत्र भक्ष्यान्नपानैस्ते मुदिताः सुसुखोषिताः । सुखप्रबद्धा राजानमुपतस्थुर्युधिष्ठिरम् ॥

tatra bhakṣyānnapānaiste muditāḥ susukhoṣitāḥ | sukhaprabaddhā rājānamupatasthuryudhiṣṭhiram

There, with choice food and drink, delighted and lodged in great comfort, they, wholly at ease, waited on King Yudhishthira.

Note on the text: Line 1 differs from the critical edition (12.44.16: tatra bhakṣānnapānais te samupetāḥ sukhoṣitāḥ) and line 2 reads सुखप्रबद्धा where the CE has sukhaprabuddhā ("happily awakened"); recension variants, Wikisource reading kept (सुखप्रबद्धा, "settled in comfort", is a valid word).
