Sanjaya Swoons, Then Names the Pandavas' Allies

Verse 1 (5.50.1)

किमसौ पाण्डवो राजा धर्मपुत्रोऽभ्यभाषत । श्रुत्वेह बहुलाः सेनाः प्रीत्यर्थं नः समागताः ॥

kimasau pāṇḍavo rājā dharmaputro'bhyabhāṣata | śrutveha bahulāḥ senāḥ prītyarthaṃ naḥ samāgatāḥ

"What did the Pandava king, the son of Dharma, say on hearing that these many armies had gathered here for our sake?

Note on the text: प्रीत्यर्थं नः (CE pratyarthena) kept as a recension variant.

Verse 2 (5.50.2)

किमसौ चेष्टते सूत योत्स्यमानो युधिष्ठिरः । के वास्य भ्रातृपुत्राणां पश्यन्त्याज्ञेप्सवो मुखम् ॥

kimasau ceṣṭate sūta yotsyamāno yudhiṣṭhiraḥ | ke vāsya bhrātṛputrāṇāṃ paśyantyājñepsavo mukham

What is Yudhishthira doing, O Suta, as he makes ready to fight? And which of his brothers and sons look to his face, eager for his commands?

Note on the text: Corresponds to the critical edition's 5.49.2 in a differently worded recension (both lines differ; kept). Corrected सुखम् → मुखम् (misprint in Wikisource; the line means looking to his face for commands, and the critical edition's line ends mukham īkṣate).

Verse 3 (5.50.3)

के स्विदेनं वारयन्ति युद्धाच्छाम्येति वा पुनः । निकृत्या कोपितं मन्दैर्धर्मज्ञं धर्मचारिणम् ॥

ke svidenaṃ vārayanti yuddhācchāmyeti vā punaḥ | nikṛtyā kopitaṃ mandairdharmajñaṃ dharmacāriṇam

Who, I wonder, hold him back from war, or urge him again to make peace — that knower of dharma who walks in dharma, angered by the trickery of fools?"

Verse 4 (5.50.4)

राज्ञो मुखमुदीक्षन्ते पाञ्चालाः पाण्डवैः सह । युधिष्ठिरस्य भद्रं ते स सर्वाननुशास्ति च ॥

rājño mukhamudīkṣante pāñcālāḥ pāṇḍavaiḥ saha | yudhiṣṭhirasya bhadraṃ te sa sarvānanuśāsti ca

"The Panchalas, together with the Pandavas, look to King Yudhishthira's face, bless you, and he gives orders to them all.

Verse 5 (5.50.5)

पृथग्भूताः पाण्डवानां पाञ्चालानां रथव्रजाः । आयान्तमभिनन्दन्ति कुन्तीपुत्रं युधिष्ठिरम् ॥

pṛthagbhūtāḥ pāṇḍavānāṃ pāñcālānāṃ rathavrajāḥ | āyāntamabhinandanti kuntīputraṃ yudhiṣṭhiram

The chariot-troops of the Pandavas and the Panchalas, each in its own division, greet Kunti's son Yudhishthira as he approaches.

Verse 6 (5.50.6)

नभः सूर्यमिवोद्यन्तं कौन्तेयं दीप्ततेजसम् । पाञ्चालाः प्रतिनन्दन्ति तेजोराशिमिवोदितम् ॥

nabhaḥ sūryamivodyantaṃ kaunteyaṃ dīptatejasam | pāñcālāḥ pratinandanti tejorāśimivoditam

As the sky welcomes the rising sun, so the Panchalas welcome the son of Kunti, blazing with splendour like a mass of light newly risen.

Verse 7 (5.50.7)

आगोपालाविपालाश्च नन्दमाना युधिष्ठिरम् । पाञ्चालाः केकया मत्स्याः प्रतिनन्दन्ति पाण्डवम् ॥

āgopālāvipālāśca nandamānā yudhiṣṭhiram | pāñcālāḥ kekayā matsyāḥ pratinandanti pāṇḍavam

Down to the cowherds and shepherds, all rejoice in Yudhishthira; the Panchalas, the Kekayas and the Matsyas hail the son of Pandu.

Note on the text: Corrected प्रतिनन्दति → प्रतिनन्दन्ति (misprint in Wikisource; the verb needs the plural to agree with पाञ्चालाः केकया मत्स्याः; critical edition pratinandanti).

Verse 8 (5.50.8)

ब्राह्मण्यो राजपुत्र्यश्च विशां दुहितरश्च याः । क्रीडन्त्योऽभिसमायान्ति पार्थं सन्नद्धमीक्षितुम् ॥

brāhmaṇyo rājaputryaśca viśāṃ duhitaraśca yāḥ | krīḍantyo'bhisamāyānti pārthaṃ sannaddhamīkṣitum

Brahmin women, princesses and the daughters of vaishyas come together in play to see Partha in his armour."

Note on the text: Corrected क्रीडन्त्योभिसमायान्ति → क्रीडन्त्योऽभिसमायान्ति (misprint in Wikisource; missing avagraha, critical edition krīḍantyo 'bhisamāyānti).

Verse 9 (5.50.9)

सञ्जयाचक्ष्व येनास्मान्पाण्डवा अभ्ययुञ्जत । धृष्टद्युम्नस्य सैन्येन सोमकानां बलेन च ॥

sañjayācakṣva yenāsmānpāṇḍavā abhyayuñjata | dhṛṣṭadyumnasya sainyena somakānāṃ balena ca

"Sanjaya, tell me with whose help the Pandavas have marched against us — with Dhrishtadyumna's army and the might of the Somakas?"

Note on the text: Corrected पाडवा → पाण्डवा (misprint in Wikisource; dropped ण्). The second line (CE dhṛṣṭadyumnena senānyā somakāḥ kiṃbalā iva) is kept as a recension variant.

Verse 10 (5.50.10)

गावल्गणिस्तु तत्पृष्टः सभायां कुरुसंसदि । निःश्वस्य सुभृशं दीर्घं मुहुः सञ्चिन्तयन्निव ॥

gāvalgaṇistu tatpṛṣṭaḥ sabhāyāṃ kurusaṃsadi | niḥśvasya subhṛśaṃ dīrghaṃ muhuḥ sañcintayanniva

Thus questioned in the hall, before the assembly of the Kurus, Sanjaya son of Gavalgana sighed long and very deeply, as though brooding again and again.

Note on the text: Corrected गवल्गणिस्तु तत्पुष्टः → गावल्गणिस्तु तत्पृष्टः (misprints in Wikisource; the patronymic is गावल्गणि, and पुष्टः 'nourished' for पृष्टः 'asked'; critical edition gāvalgaṇis tu tat pṛṣṭaḥ). This verse is the critical edition's 5.49.10ab–cd.

Verse 11 (5.50.11)

तत्रानिमित्ततो दैवात्सूतं कश्मलमाविशत् । तदाचचक्षे विदुरः सभायां राजसंसदि ॥

tatrānimittato daivātsūtaṃ kaśmalamāviśat | tadācacakṣe viduraḥ sabhāyāṃ rājasaṃsadi

Then, for no reason, by the work of fate, a swoon came over the charioteer; and Vidura announced in the hall, before the royal assembly:

Note on the text: Corrected वैवात्सुतं → दैवात्सूतं (misprints in Wikisource; व for द and a short u in सूतम्, critical edition daivāt sūtaṃ). Line 1 is the critical edition's 5.49.10ef; line 2 is 5.49.11ab, where the critical edition reads puruṣaḥ ('a man') for विदुरः (kept as a recension variant).

Verse 12 (5.50.12)

सञ्जयोऽयं महाराज मूर्छितः पतितो भुवि । वाचं न सृजते कांचिद्धीनप्रज्ञोऽल्पचेतनः ॥

sañjayo'yaṃ mahārāja mūrchitaḥ patito bhuvi | vācaṃ na sṛjate kāṃciddhīnaprajño'lpacetanaḥ

"Great king, this Sanjaya has fainted and fallen to the ground. He utters no word; his wits are gone and he is barely conscious."

Note on the text: The critical edition's 5.49.11cd–ef. Speaker: Vidura's announcement fills the whole verse without a printed heading (introduced by verse 11), so it is given to Vidura.

Verse 13 (5.50.13)

अपश्यत्सञ्जयो नूनं कुन्तीपुत्रान्महारथान् । तैरस्य पुरुषव्याघ्रैर्भृशमुद्वेजितं मनः ॥

apaśyatsañjayo nūnaṃ kuntīputrānmahārathān | tairasya puruṣavyāghrairbhṛśamudvejitaṃ manaḥ

"Surely Sanjaya has seen the sons of Kunti, those great chariot-warriors; his mind has been badly shaken by those tigers among men."

Verse 14 (5.50.14)

सञ्जयश्चेतनां लब्ध्वा प्रत्याश्वस्येदमब्रवीत् । धृतराष्ट्रं महाराज सभायां कुरुसंसदि ॥

sañjayaścetanāṃ labdhvā pratyāśvasyedamabravīt | dhṛtarāṣṭraṃ mahārāja sabhāyāṃ kurusaṃsadi

Regaining consciousness and recovering his breath, Sanjaya spoke these words to Dhritarashtra, O great king, in the hall of the Kuru assembly:

Note on the text: Corrected प्रत्याश्वस्येदभब्रवीत् → प्रत्याश्वस्येदमब्रवीत् (misprint in Wikisource; भ for म, critical edition pratyāśvasyedam abravīt).

Verse 15 (5.50.15)

दृष्टवानस्मि राजेन्द्र कुन्तीपुत्रान्महारथान् । मत्स्यराजगृहावासनिरोधेनावकर्शितान् ॥

dṛṣṭavānasmi rājendra kuntīputrānmahārathān | matsyarājagṛhāvāsanirodhenāvakarśitān

"King of kings, I have seen the sons of Kunti, great chariot-warriors, worn thin by their confinement while living in the house of the Matsya king.

Note on the text: The critical edition's 5.49.14ab–cd (second line in a slightly different wording, kept).

Verse 16 (5.50.16)

शृणु यैर्हि महाराज पाण्डवा अभ्ययुञ्जत । धृष्टद्युम्नेन वीरेण युद्धे वस्तेऽभ्ययुञ्जत ॥

śṛṇu yairhi mahārāja pāṇḍavā abhyayuñjata | dhṛṣṭadyumnena vīreṇa yuddhe vaste'bhyayuñjata

Hear, great king, with whom the Pandavas have come against you. With the hero Dhrishtadyumna they have come against you for battle.

Note on the text: Corrected श्रृणु र्यैर्हि → शृणु यैर्हि (misprints in Wikisource; श्रृ for शृ and a stray र्, critical edition śṛṇu yair hi). Line 1 is the critical edition's 5.49.14ef; line 2 is its star passage 5.49.14f*0324_01.

Verse 17 (5.50.17)

यो नैव रोषान्न भयान्न लोभान्नार्थकारणात् । न हेतुवादाद्धर्मात्मा सत्यं जह्यात्कदाचन ॥

yo naiva roṣānna bhayānna lobhānnārthakāraṇāt | na hetuvādāddharmātmā satyaṃ jahyātkadācana

He who, righteous in soul, would never abandon the truth — not from anger, nor fear, nor greed, nor for the sake of wealth, nor because of clever argument;

Note on the text: Corrected रोपान्न → रोषान्न (misprint in Wikisource; प for ष, critical edition roṣān na) and जाह्यात् → जह्यात् (misprint; not a valid form, critical edition jahyāt). लोभात् and कदाचन (CE kāmān, kathaṃ cana) kept as variants.

Verse 18 (5.50.18)

यः प्रमाणं महाराज धर्मे धर्मभृतां वरः । अजातशत्रुणा तेन पाण्डवा अभ्ययुञ्जत ॥

yaḥ pramāṇaṃ mahārāja dharme dharmabhṛtāṃ varaḥ | ajātaśatruṇā tena pāṇḍavā abhyayuñjata

Verse 19 (5.50.19)

यस्य बाहुबले तुल्यः पृथिव्यां नास्ति कश्चन । यो वै सर्वान्महीपालान्वशे चक्रे धनुर्धरः । यः काशीनङ्गमगधान्कलिङ्गांश्च युधाजयत् ॥

yasya bāhubale tulyaḥ pṛthivyāṃ nāsti kaścana | yo vai sarvānmahīpālānvaśe cakre dhanurdharaḥ | yaḥ kāśīnaṅgamagadhānkaliṅgāṃśca yudhājayat

He who has no equal on earth in strength of arm, the bowman who brought all the kings under his sway, who conquered in battle the Kashis, the Angas, the Magadhas and the Kalingas —

Note on the text: Lines 1–2 are the critical edition's 5.49.17ab–cd. Line 3 is not in the critical edition at this place (found in the vulgate recension); the same line is its 5.49.28ab, said of Sahadeva (verse 31 below).

Verse 20 (5.50.20)

तेन वो भीमसेनेन पाण्डवा अभ्ययुञ्जत । यस्य वीर्येण सहसा चत्वारो भुवि पाण्डवाः ॥

tena vo bhīmasenena pāṇḍavā abhyayuñjata | yasya vīryeṇa sahasā catvāro bhuvi pāṇḍavāḥ

with that Bhimasena the Pandavas have come against you; he by whose might the four Pandavas on earth swiftly

Note on the text: Line 1 is the critical edition's 5.49.17ef; line 2 is not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension).

Verse 21 (5.50.21)

निःसृत्य जतुगेहाद्वै हिडिम्बात्पुरुषादकात् । यश्चैषामभवद्द्वीपः कुन्तीपुत्रो वृकोदरः ॥

niḥsṛtya jatugehādvai hiḍimbātpuruṣādakāt | yaścaiṣāmabhavaddvīpaḥ kuntīputro vṛkodaraḥ

escaped from the lac house and from the man-eater Hidimba; he who became their island of refuge, Vrikodara, son of Kunti;

Note on the text: Corrected यश्चैपाम् → यश्चैषाम् (misprint in Wikisource; प for ष, critical edition ya eṣām). निःसृत्य जतुगेहाद्वै (CE niḥsṛtānāṃ jatugṛhād) kept as a variant.

Verse 22 (5.50.22)

याज्ञसेनीमथो यत्र सिन्धुराजोऽपकृष्टवान् । तत्रैषामभवद्द्वीपः कुन्तीपुत्रो वृकोदरः ॥

and when the king of Sindhu carried off Yajnaseni, there too Vrikodara, son of Kunti, became their island of refuge;

Note on the text: Corrected सिन्धुराजोपकृष्टवान् → सिन्धुराजोऽपकृष्टवान् (misprint in Wikisource; missing avagraha, which turns अपकृष्टवान् 'carried off' into उपकृष्टवान्; critical edition sindhurājo 'pakṛṣṭavān).

यश्च तान्सङ्गतान्सर्वान्पाण्डवान्वारणावते । दह्यतो मोचयामास तेन वस्तेऽभ्ययुञ्जत ॥

who in combat pleased Mahadeva himself, Girisha who bears the trident, god of gods, the lord of Uma;

Note on the text: Corrected शृलपाणिनम् → शूलपाणिनम्, तोपयामास → तोषयामास and उपामपिम् → उमापतिम् (misprints in Wikisource; ृ for ू, प for ष, and transposed/garbled aksharas; critical edition śūlapāṇinam, toṣayām āsa, umāpatim).

Note on the text: Restored from the critical edition (5.49.33a): Wikisource prints '..' in place of the verse's first word; the critical edition reads yaḥ, restored as यः. पाञ्चाल्यो (CE pāñcālo) kept.

Verse 37 (5.50.37)

यं यक्षः पुरुषं चक्रे भीष्मस्य निधनेच्छया । महेष्वासेन रौद्रेण पाण्डवा अभ्ययुञ्जत ॥

The five Kekaya brothers, princes and great archers, heroes clad in armour — with them too they have come against you.

He who is like Krishna in valour and like Yudhishthira in self-control — with that Abhimanyu the Pandavas have come against you in battle.

So too Sharabha, brother of the lord of the Chedis, O bull of the Bharatas, together with Karakarsha — with those two they have come against you.

Note on the text: Corrected यथा → तथा (misprint in Wikisource; य for त; यथा has no correlative here, critical edition tathā).

Verse 48 (5.50.48)

जारासन्धिः सहदेवो जयत्सेनश्च तावुभौ । युद्धेऽप्रतिरथौ वीरौ पाण्डवार्थे व्यवस्थितौ ॥

jārāsandhiḥ sahadevo jayatsenaśca tāvubhau | yuddhe'pratirathau vīrau pāṇḍavārthe vyavasthitau

Sahadeva son of Jarasandha, and Jayatsena — those two heroes, unrivalled in battle, stand ready in the Pandavas' cause.

Note on the text: Corrected तारासन्धिः → जारासन्धिः (misprint in Wikisource; त for ज, the son of Jarasandha, critical edition jārāsaṃdhiḥ) and युद्धे प्रतिरथे → युद्धेऽप्रतिरथौ (misprint; missing avagraha and े for ौ, the dual must agree with वीरौ; star passage yuddhe 'pratirathau). Line 1 is the critical edition's 5.49.44ab; line 2 is its star passage 5.49.44b*0328_01.

Verse 49 (5.50.49)

द्रुपदश्च महातेजा बलेन महता वृतः । त्यक्तात्मा पाण्डवार्थाय योत्स्यमानो व्यवस्थितः ॥

drupadaśca mahātejā balena mahatā vṛtaḥ | tyaktātmā pāṇḍavārthāya yotsyamāno vyavasthitaḥ

And Drupada of great splendour, surrounded by a mighty army, stands ready to fight, prepared to give up his life for the Pandavas.

Note on the text: Corrected सोत्स्यमानो → योत्स्यमानो (misprint in Wikisource; स for य, critical edition yotsyamāno). This verse is the critical edition's 5.49.44cd–ef.

Verse 50 (5.50.50)

एते चान्ये च बहवः प्राच्योदीच्या महीक्षितः । शतशो यानुपाश्रित्य धर्मराजो व्यवस्थितः ॥

ete cānye ca bahavaḥ prācyodīcyā mahīkṣitaḥ | śataśo yānupāśritya dharmarājo vyavasthitaḥ

These and many other kings of the east and the north, by the hundreds — relying on them, the King of Dharma stands ready."

Note on the text: Corrected उपाश्रिता → उपाश्रित्य (misprint in Wikisource; dropped akshara; उपाश्रिता does not construe with धर्मराजः, the sense needs the gerund (critical edition apāśritya)).
