Draupadi's Lament and Krishna's Vow

Verse 1 (5.81.1)

राज्ञस्तु वचनं श्रुत्वा धर्मार्थसहितं हितम् । कृष्णा दाशार्हमासीनमब्रवीच्छोककर्शिता ॥

rājñastu vacanaṃ śrutvā dharmārthasahitaṃ hitam | kṛṣṇā dāśārhamāsīnamabravīcchokakarśitā

Hearing the king's words, wholesome and in keeping with dharma and with worldly good, Krishna — Draupadi — worn thin by grief, addressed the Dasharha as he sat there.

Verse 2 (5.81.2)

सुता द्रुपदराजस्य स्वसितायतमूर्धजा । संपूज्य सहदेवं च सात्यकिं च महारथम् ॥

sutā drupadarājasya svasitāyatamūrdhajā | saṃpūjya sahadevaṃ ca sātyakiṃ ca mahāratham

The daughter of King Drupada, with her long, glossy black hair, first honoured Sahadeva and the great chariot-warrior Satyaki;

Verse 3 (5.81.3)

भीमसेनं च संशान्तं दृष्ट्वा परमदुर्मनाः । अश्रुपूर्णेक्षणा वाक्यमुवाचेदं मनस्विनी ॥

bhīmasenaṃ ca saṃśāntaṃ dṛṣṭvā paramadurmanāḥ | aśrupūrṇekṣaṇā vākyamuvācedaṃ manasvinī

then, seeing Bhimasena grown calm, she was deeply troubled, and with her eyes full of tears the proud-spirited woman spoke these words:

Verse 4 (5.81.4)

विदितं ते महाबाहो धर्मज्ञ मधुसूदन । यथा निकृतिमास्थाय भ्रंशिताः पाण्डवाः सुखात् ॥

viditaṃ te mahābāho dharmajña madhusūdana | yathā nikṛtimāsthāya bhraṃśitāḥ pāṇḍavāḥ sukhāt

"You know, mighty-armed Madhusudana, knower of dharma, how by resorting to fraud the Pandavas were cast down from their happiness"

Note on the text: Speaker set to Draupadi: her speech, announced at the end of verse 3, runs to verse 32 with no printed heading in Wikisource (nor in the critical edition); the input carried वैशंपायन over.

Verse 5 (5.81.5)

धृतराष्ट्रस्य पुत्रेण सामात्येन जनार्दन । यथा च सञ्जयो राज्ञा मन्त्रं रहसि श्रावितः ॥

dhṛtarāṣṭrasya putreṇa sāmātyena janārdana | yathā ca sañjayo rājñā mantraṃ rahasi śrāvitaḥ

"by Dhritarashtra's son and his ministers, Janardana; and how the king had Sanjaya hear a secret message"

Verse 6 (5.81.6)

युधिष्ठिरस्य दाशार्ह तच्चापि विदितं तव । यथोक्तः सञ्जयश्चैव तच्च सर्वं श्रुतं त्वया ॥

yudhiṣṭhirasya dāśārha taccāpi viditaṃ tava | yathoktaḥ sañjayaścaiva tacca sarvaṃ śrutaṃ tvayā

"for Yudhishthira, Dasharha — that too you know; and how Sanjaya was answered — all that too you have heard."

Verse 7 (5.81.7)

पञ्च नस्तात दीयन्तां ग्रामा इति महाद्युते । अविस्थलं वृकस्थलं माकन्दीं वारणावतम् ॥

pañca nastāta dīyantāṃ grāmā iti mahādyute | avisthalaṃ vṛkasthalaṃ mākandīṃ vāraṇāvatam

"'Give us five villages, dear sir,' O glorious one: Avisthala, Vrikasthala, Makandi, Varanavata,"

Note on the text: Wikisource's list of villages (Avisthala, Vrikasthala, Makandi, Varanavata) is the vulgate reading; the critical edition has kuśasthalaṃ vṛkasthalam āsandī vāraṇāvatam. Kept as printed.

Verse 8 (5.81.8)

अवसानं महाबाहो कंचिदेकं च पञ्चमम् । इति दुर्योधनो वाच्यः सुहृदश्चास्य केशव ॥

avasānaṃ mahābāho kaṃcidekaṃ ca pañcamam | iti duryodhano vācyaḥ suhṛdaścāsya keśava

"and for the fifth, mighty-armed one, any one other place to dwell in — this is what Duryodhana and his friends were to be told, Keshava."

Verse 9 (5.81.9)

न चापि ह्यकरोद्वाक्यं श्रुत्वा कृष्ण सुयोधनः । युधिष्ठिरस्य दाशार्ह श्रीमतः सन्धिमिच्छतः ॥

na cāpi hyakarodvākyaṃ śrutvā kṛṣṇa suyodhanaḥ | yudhiṣṭhirasya dāśārha śrīmataḥ sandhimicchataḥ

"Yet, having heard it, Suyodhana did not heed the words of the glorious Yudhishthira, Krishna, who desired peace, O Dasharha."

Verse 10 (5.81.10)

अप्रदानेन राज्यस्य यदि कृष्ण सुयोधनः । सन्धिमिच्छेन्न कर्तव्यं तत्र गत्वा कथंचन ॥

apradānena rājyasya yadi kṛṣṇa suyodhanaḥ | sandhimicchenna kartavyaṃ tatra gatvā kathaṃcana

"If, Krishna, Suyodhana wants peace without giving back the kingdom, you must on no account go there and make it."

Verse 11 (5.81.11)

शक्ष्यन्ति हि महाबाहो पाण्डवाः सृञ्जयैः सह । धार्तराष्ट्रबलं घोरं क्रुद्धं प्रतिसमासितुम् ॥

śakṣyanti hi mahābāho pāṇḍavāḥ sṛñjayaiḥ saha | dhārtarāṣṭrabalaṃ ghoraṃ kruddhaṃ pratisamāsitum

"For the Pandavas together with the Srinjayas will be able, mighty-armed one, to stand against the terrible, enraged army of Dhritarashtra's sons."

Verse 12 (5.81.12)

न हि साम्ना न दानेन शक्योऽर्थस्तेषु कश्चन । तस्मात्तेषु न कर्तव्या कृपा ते मधुसूदन ॥

na hi sāmnā na dānena śakyo'rthasteṣu kaścana | tasmātteṣu na kartavyā kṛpā te madhusūdana

"Nothing can be won from them by conciliation or by gifts; so you should show them no mercy, Madhusudana."

Verse 13 (5.81.13)

साम्ना दानेन वा कृष्ण ये न शाम्यन्ति शत्रवः । योक्तव्यस्तेषु दण्डः स्याज्जीवितं परिरक्षता ॥

sāmnā dānena vā kṛṣṇa ye na śāmyanti śatravaḥ | yoktavyasteṣu daṇḍaḥ syājjīvitaṃ parirakṣatā

"Enemies who are not pacified by conciliation or by gifts, Krishna — against them force must be brought to bear by one who would guard his life."

Verse 14 (5.81.14)

तस्मात्तेषु महादण्डः क्षेप्तव्यः क्षिप्रमच्युत । त्वया चैव महाबाहो पाण्डवैः सह सृञ्जयैः ॥

tasmātteṣu mahādaṇḍaḥ kṣeptavyaḥ kṣipramacyuta | tvayā caiva mahābāho pāṇḍavaiḥ saha sṛñjayaiḥ

"Therefore heavy punishment must be hurled upon them quickly, Achyuta, by you yourself, mighty-armed one, together with the Pandavas and the Srinjayas."

Verse 15 (5.81.15)

एतत्समर्थं पार्थानां तव चैव यशस्करम् । क्रियमाणं भवेत्कृष्ण क्षत्रस्य च सुखावहम् ॥

etatsamarthaṃ pārthānāṃ tava caiva yaśaskaram | kriyamāṇaṃ bhavetkṛṣṇa kṣatrasya ca sukhāvaham

"This, if done, would be fitting for the sons of Pritha and bring glory to you, Krishna, and happiness to the whole Kshatriya order."

Verse 16 (5.81.16)

क्षत्रियेण हि हन्तव्यः क्षत्रियो लोभमास्थितः । अक्षत्रियो वा दाशार्ह स्वधर्ममनुतिष्ठता ॥

kṣatriyeṇa hi hantavyaḥ kṣatriyo lobhamāsthitaḥ | akṣatriyo vā dāśārha svadharmamanutiṣṭhatā

"For a Kshatriya who has given himself up to greed must be slain by a Kshatriya, or, Dasharha, by one not a Kshatriya who follows his own dharma —"

Verse 17 (5.81.17)

अन्यत्र ब्राह्मणात्तात सर्वपापेष्ववस्थितात् । गुरुर्हि सर्ववर्णानां ब्राह्मणः प्रसृताग्रभुक् ॥

anyatra brāhmaṇāttāta sarvapāpeṣvavasthitāt | gururhi sarvavarṇānāṃ brāhmaṇaḥ prasṛtāgrabhuk

"except a Brahmana, dear one, even one steeped in every sin; for the Brahmana is the teacher of all the varnas and receives the first portion of every offering."

Verse 18 (5.81.18)

यथाऽवध्ये वध्यमाने भवेद्दोषो जनार्दन । स वध्यस्यावधे दृष्ट इति धर्मविदो विदुः ॥

yathā'vadhye vadhyamāne bhaveddoṣo janārdana | sa vadhyasyāvadhe dṛṣṭa iti dharmavido viduḥ

"Just as there is sin in killing one who should not be killed, Janardana, so too there is sin in not killing one who deserves to die — so say those who know dharma."

Verse 19 (5.81.19)

यथा त्वां न स्पृशेदेष दोषः कृष्ण तथा कुरु । पाण्डवैः सह दाशार्हैः सृञ्जयैश्च ससैनिकैः ॥

yathā tvāṃ na spṛśedeṣa doṣaḥ kṛṣṇa tathā kuru | pāṇḍavaiḥ saha dāśārhaiḥ sṛñjayaiśca sasainikaiḥ

"So act, Krishna, that this sin does not touch you, together with the Pandavas, the Dasharhas, and the Srinjayas with their armies."

Note on the text: Corrected दाशर्हैः → दाशार्हैः (misprint in Wikisource; the clan name is दाशार्ह, as in the critical edition's dāśārha).

Verse 20 (5.81.20)

पुनरुक्तं च वक्ष्यामि विश्रम्भेण जनार्दन । का तु सीमन्तिनी मादृक् पृथिव्यामस्ति केशव ॥

punaruktaṃ ca vakṣyāmi viśrambheṇa janārdana | kā tu sīmantinī mādṛk pṛthivyāmasti keśava

"I shall say again what has been said before, Janardana, trusting in you: what woman is there on earth like me, Keshava?"

Note on the text: Corrected मादृकं → मादृक् (misprint in Wikisource; critical edition mādṛk).

Verse 21 (5.81.21)

सुता द्रुपदराजस्य वेदिमध्यात्समुत्थिता । धृष्टद्युम्नस्य भगिनी तव कृष्ण प्रिया सखी ॥

sutā drupadarājasya vedimadhyātsamutthitā | dhṛṣṭadyumnasya bhaginī tava kṛṣṇa priyā sakhī

"The daughter of King Drupada, risen from the middle of the sacrificial altar, the sister of Dhrishtadyumna, your dear friend, Krishna;"

Verse 22 (5.81.22)

आजमीढकुलं प्राप्ता स्नुषा पाण्डोर्महात्मनः । महिषी पाण्डुपुत्राणां पञ्चेन्द्रसमवर्चसाम् ॥

ājamīḍhakulaṃ prāptā snuṣā pāṇḍormahātmanaḥ | mahiṣī pāṇḍuputrāṇāṃ pañcendrasamavarcasām

"come into the line of Ajamidha, daughter-in-law of the great-souled Pandu, chief queen of the sons of Pandu, who shine like five Indras."

Note on the text: Corrected आजमूढकुलं प्राप्त → आजमीढकुलं प्राप्ता (misprints in Wikisource: the dynasty of Ajamidha, and the feminine participle; critical edition ājamīḍhakulaṃ prāptā).

Verse 23 (5.81.23)

सुता मे पञ्चभिर्वीरैः पञ्च जाता महारथाः । अभिमन्युर्यथा कृष्ण तथा ते तव धर्मतः ॥

sutā me pañcabhirvīraiḥ pañca jātā mahārathāḥ | abhimanyuryathā kṛṣṇa tathā te tava dharmataḥ

"To the five heroes I have borne five sons, great chariot-warriors, Krishna, who by right are to you just what Abhimanyu is."

Verse 24 (5.81.24)

साऽहं केशग्रहं प्राप्ता परिक्लिष्टा सभां गता । पश्यतां पाण्डुपुत्राणां त्वयि जीवति केशव ॥

sā'haṃ keśagrahaṃ prāptā parikliṣṭā sabhāṃ gatā | paśyatāṃ pāṇḍuputrāṇāṃ tvayi jīvati keśava

"Yet I was seized by the hair and dragged, tormented, into the assembly, while the sons of Pandu looked on and while you lived, Keshava."

Verse 25 (5.81.25)

जीवत्सु पाण्डुपुत्रेषु पञ्चालेष्वथ वृष्णिषु । दासीभूताऽस्मि पापानां सभामध्ये व्यवस्थिता ॥

jīvatsu pāṇḍuputreṣu pañcāleṣvatha vṛṣṇiṣu | dāsībhūtā'smi pāpānāṃ sabhāmadhye vyavasthitā

"While the sons of Pandu, the Panchalas and the Vrishnis were all alive, I stood in the middle of the assembly, made the slave of wicked men."

Note on the text: Corrected जीवस्तु → जीवत्सु and दासीभाताऽस्मि → दासीभूताऽस्मि (misprints in Wikisource; critical edition jīvatsu, dāsībhūtāsmi). Wikisource's पाण्डुपुत्रेषु (critical edition kauraveyeṣu) is a recension variant and is kept.

Verse 26 (5.81.26)

निरमर्षेष्वचेष्टेषु प्रेक्षमाणेषु पाण्डुषु । पाहि मामिति गोविन्द मनसा चिन्तितोऽसि मे ॥

niramarṣeṣvaceṣṭeṣu prekṣamāṇeṣu pāṇḍuṣu | pāhi māmiti govinda manasā cintito'si me

"While the Pandavas looked on, without indignation and without stirring, I called you to mind, Govinda, crying in my heart: 'Save me!'"

Note on the text: Corrected प्रेक्ष्यमाणेषु → प्रेक्षमाणेषु (misprint in Wikisource; the Pandavas are the onlookers, critical edition prekṣamāṇeṣu) and चिन्तितोसि → चिन्तितोऽसि (missing avagraha).

Verse 27 (5.81.27)

यत्र मां भगवान्राजा श्वशुरो वाक्यमब्रवीत् । वरं वृणीष्व पाञ्चालि वरार्हाऽसि मता मम ॥

yatra māṃ bhagavānrājā śvaśuro vākyamabravīt | varaṃ vṛṇīṣva pāñcāli varārhā'si matā mama

"Then my father-in-law, the revered king, said to me: 'Choose a boon, Panchali; in my eyes you are worthy of boons.'"

Verse 28 (5.81.28)

अदासाः पाण्डवाः सन्तु सरथाः सायुधा इति । मयोक्ते यत्र निर्मुक्ता वनवासाय केशव ॥

adāsāḥ pāṇḍavāḥ santu sarathāḥ sāyudhā iti | mayokte yatra nirmuktā vanavāsāya keśava

"When I said, 'Let the Pandavas be free, with their chariots and their weapons,' they were released, Keshava, to go and live in the forest."

Verse 29 (5.81.29)

एवंविधानां दुःखानामभिज्ञोऽसि जनार्दन । त्रायस्व पुण्डरीकाक्ष सभर्तृज्ञातिबान्धवान् ॥

evaṃvidhānāṃ duḥkhānāmabhijño'si janārdana | trāyasva puṇḍarīkākṣa sabhartṛjñātibāndhavān

"You know sorrows such as these, Janardana. Protect us, lotus-eyed one — me together with my husbands, kinsmen and relatives."

Verse 30 (5.81.30)

नन्वहं कृष्ण भीष्मस्य धृतराष्ट्रस्य चोभयोः । स्नुषा भवामि धर्मेण साऽहं दासीकृता बलात् ॥

nanvahaṃ kṛṣṇa bhīṣmasya dhṛtarāṣṭrasya cobhayoḥ | snuṣā bhavāmi dharmeṇa sā'haṃ dāsīkṛtā balāt

"Am I not, Krishna, by dharma the daughter-in-law of both Bhishma and Dhritarashtra? Yet I was made a slave by force."

Note on the text: Corrected श्नुषा → स्नुषा (misprint in Wikisource; critical edition snuṣā).

Verse 31 (5.81.31)

धिक्पार्थस्य धनुष्मत्तां भीमसेनस्य धिग्बलम् । यत्र दुर्योधनः कृष्ण मुहूर्तमपि जीवति ॥

dhikpārthasya dhanuṣmattāṃ bhīmasenasya dhigbalam | yatra duryodhanaḥ kṛṣṇa muhūrtamapi jīvati

"Shame on Partha's archery, shame on Bhimasena's strength, if Duryodhana lives on, Krishna, for even a moment!"

Note on the text: Matches the critical edition's 5.80.31 with its two quarters in the other order (dhig balaṃ bhīmasenasya dhik pārthasya dhanuṣmatām); the automatic alignment missed it for that reason.

Verse 32 (5.81.32)

यदि तेऽहमनुग्राह्या यदि तेऽस्ति कृपा मयि । धार्तराष्ट्रेषु वै कोपः सर्वः कृष्ण विधीयताम् ॥

yadi te'hamanugrāhyā yadi te'sti kṛpā mayi | dhārtarāṣṭreṣu vai kopaḥ sarvaḥ kṛṣṇa vidhīyatām

"If I deserve your kindness, if you have any compassion for me, then let all your wrath, Krishna, be turned upon the sons of Dhritarashtra."

Verse 33 (5.81.33)

इत्युक्त्वा मृदुसंहारं वृजिनाग्रं सुदर्शनम् । सुनीलमसितापाङ्गी सर्वगन्धादिवासितम् ॥

ityuktvā mṛdusaṃhāraṃ vṛjināgraṃ sudarśanam | sunīlamasitāpāṅgī sarvagandhādivāsitam

Having said this, the dark-eyed woman took her mass of hair — soft though gathered in a braid, curling at the tips, lovely to see, deep black, scented with every fragrance,

Verse 34 (5.81.34)

सर्वलक्षणसंपन्नं महाभुजगवर्चसम् । केशपक्षं वरारोहा गृह्य वामेन पाणिना ॥

sarvalakṣaṇasaṃpannaṃ mahābhujagavarcasam | keśapakṣaṃ varārohā gṛhya vāmena pāṇinā

endowed with every auspicious mark and gleaming like a great serpent — the shapely woman grasped it in her left hand,

Note on the text: Corrected गृह्व → गृह्य (misprint in Wikisource; critical edition gṛhya).

Verse 35 (5.81.35)

पद्माक्षी पुण्डरीकाक्षमुपेत्य गजगामिनी । अश्रुपूर्णेक्षणा कृष्णा कृष्णं वचनमब्रवीत् ॥

padmākṣī puṇḍarīkākṣamupetya gajagāminī | aśrupūrṇekṣaṇā kṛṣṇā kṛṣṇaṃ vacanamabravīt

and, lotus-eyed and moving with an elephant's grace, she went up to the lotus-eyed one; her eyes full of tears, Krishna spoke these words to Krishna:

Verse 36 (5.81.36)

अयं ते पुण्डरीकाक्ष दुःशासनकरोद्धृतः । स्मर्तव्यः सर्वकार्येषु परेषां सन्धिमिच्छताम् ॥

ayaṃ te puṇḍarīkākṣa duḥśāsanakaroddhṛtaḥ | smartavyaḥ sarvakāryeṣu pareṣāṃ sandhimicchatām

"This hair, lotus-eyed one, that Duhshasana's hand dragged, you must remember in every undertaking whenever the enemy seek peace."

Note on the text: Speaker set to Draupadi: her words, announced at the end of verse 35, run to verse 41 with no printed heading in Wikisource (nor in the critical edition); the input carried वैशंपायन over.

Verse 37 (5.81.37)

यदि भीमार्जुनौ कृष्ण कृपणौ सन्धिकामुकौ । पिता मे योत्स्यते वृद्धः सह पुत्रैर्महारथैः ॥

yadi bhīmārjunau kṛṣṇa kṛpaṇau sandhikāmukau | pitā me yotsyate vṛddhaḥ saha putrairmahārathaiḥ

"If Bhima and Arjuna, Krishna, have grown faint-hearted and long for peace, my aged father will fight, along with his sons, great chariot-warriors,"

Verse 38 (5.81.38)

पञ्च चैव महावीर्याः पुत्रा मे मधुसूदन । अभिमन्युं पुरस्कृत्य योत्स्यन्ते कुरुभिः सह ॥

pañca caiva mahāvīryāḥ putrā me madhusūdana | abhimanyuṃ puraskṛtya yotsyante kurubhiḥ saha

"and my five sons of great valour, Madhusudana, with Abhimanyu at their head, will fight against the Kurus."

Verse 39 (5.81.39)

दुःशासनभुजं श्यामं संछिन्नं पांसुगुण्ठितम् । यद्यहं तु न पश्यामि का शान्तिर्हृदयस्य मे ॥

duḥśāsanabhujaṃ śyāmaṃ saṃchinnaṃ pāṃsuguṇṭhitam | yadyahaṃ tu na paśyāmi kā śāntirhṛdayasya me

"If I do not see Duhshasana's dark arm cut off and covered in dust, what peace will there be for my heart?"

Note on the text: Corrected पांसुकुण्ठितम् → पांसुगुण्ठितम् (misprint in Wikisource; 'covered in dust', critical edition pāṃsuguṇṭhitam).

Verse 40 (5.81.40)

त्रयोदश हि वर्षाणि प्रतीक्षन्त्या गतानि मे । विधाय हृदये मन्युं प्रदीप्तमिव पावकम् ॥

trayodaśa hi varṣāṇi pratīkṣantyā gatāni me | vidhāya hṛdaye manyuṃ pradīptamiva pāvakam

"Thirteen years have passed for me in waiting, keeping my anger in my heart like a blazing fire."

Verse 41 (5.81.41)

विदीर्यते मे हृदयं भीमवाक्शल्यपीडितम् । योऽयमद्य महाबाहुर्धर्ममेवानुपश्यति ॥

vidīryate me hṛdayaṃ bhīmavākśalyapīḍitam | yo'yamadya mahābāhurdharmamevānupaśyati

"My heart is breaking, pierced by the dart of Bhima's words, now that this mighty-armed man looks only to dharma."

Verse 42 (5.81.42)

इत्युक्त्वा बाष्परुद्धेन कण्ठेनायतलोचना । रुरोद कृष्णा सोत्कम्पं सस्वरं बाष्पगद्गदम् ॥

ityuktvā bāṣparuddhena kaṇṭhenāyatalocanā | ruroda kṛṣṇā sotkampaṃ sasvaraṃ bāṣpagadgadam

Having said this, the large-eyed Krishna wept, her throat choked with tears, trembling, sobbing aloud, her voice broken with weeping.

Verse 43 (5.81.43)

स्तनौ पीनायतश्रोणी सहितावभिवर्षती । द्रवीभूतमिवात्युष्णं मुञ्चन्ती वारि नेत्रजम् ॥

stanau pīnāyataśroṇī sahitāvabhivarṣatī | dravībhūtamivātyuṣṇaṃ muñcantī vāri netrajam

The woman of full, broad hips bathed her breasts, pressed together, with the tears that fell from her eyes, hot as though molten.

Verse 44 (5.81.44)

तामुवाच महाबाहुः केशवः परिसान्त्वयन् । अचिराद्द्रक्ष्यसे कृष्णे रुदतीर्भरतस्त्रियः ॥

tāmuvāca mahābāhuḥ keśavaḥ parisāntvayan | acirāddrakṣyase kṛṣṇe rudatīrbharatastriyaḥ

Comforting her, the mighty-armed Keshava said to her: "Before long, Draupadi, you will see the women of the Bharatas weeping."

Verse 45 (5.81.45)

एवं ता भीरु रोत्स्यन्ति निहतज्ञातिबान्धवाः । हतमित्रा हतबला येषां क्रुद्धाऽसि भामिनी ॥

evaṃ tā bhīru rotsyanti nihatajñātibāndhavāḥ | hatamitrā hatabalā yeṣāṃ kruddhā'si bhāminī

"Just so will they weep, timid one, their kinsmen and relatives slain, their friends slain, their forces slain — those with whom you, a woman of spirit, are angry."

Note on the text: Speaker set to Krishna: his reply, begun in the second half of verse 44, fills verses 45–49 with no printed heading in Wikisource (nor in the critical edition); the input carried वैशंपायन over. Corrected रोस्त्यन्ति → रोत्स्यन्ति (misprint in Wikisource; the commentary glosses रोत्स्यन्ति, critical edition rotsyanti).

Verse 46 (5.81.46)

अहं च तत्करिष्यामि भीमार्जुनयमैः सह । युधिष्ठिरनियोगेन दैवाच्च विधिनिर्मितात् ॥

ahaṃ ca tatkariṣyāmi bhīmārjunayamaiḥ saha | yudhiṣṭhiraniyogena daivācca vidhinirmitāt

"And I will bring that about, together with Bhima, Arjuna and the twins, at Yudhishthira's command and by fate, as it has been ordained."

Verse 47 (5.81.47)

धार्तराष्ट्राः कालपक्वा न चेच्छृण्वन्ति मे वचः । शेष्यन्ते निहता भूमौ श्वसृगालादनीकृताः ॥

dhārtarāṣṭrāḥ kālapakvā na cecchṛṇvanti me vacaḥ | śeṣyante nihatā bhūmau śvasṛgālādanīkṛtāḥ

"If the sons of Dhritarashtra, ripe for death, do not listen to my words, they will lie slain upon the ground, made food for dogs and jackals."

Verse 48 (5.81.48)

चलेद्धि हिमवाञ्शैलो मेदिनी शतधा भवेत् । द्यौः पतेच्च सनक्षत्रा न मे मोघं वचो भवेत् ॥

caleddhi himavāñśailo medinī śatadhā bhavet | dyauḥ patecca sanakṣatrā na me moghaṃ vaco bhavet

"The Himalaya mountain might move, the earth split into a hundred pieces, the sky fall with all its stars — but my word will not prove vain."

Verse 49 (5.81.49)

शुष्येत्तोयनिधिः कृष्णे न मे मोघं वचो भवेत् । सत्यं ते प्रतिजानामि कृष्णे बाष्पो निगृह्यताम् । हतामित्राञ्श्रिया युक्तानचिराद्द्रक्ष्यसे पतीन् ॥

śuṣyettoyanidhiḥ kṛṣṇe na me moghaṃ vaco bhavet | satyaṃ te pratijānāmi kṛṣṇe bāṣpo nigṛhyatām | hatāmitrāñśriyā yuktānacirāddrakṣyase patīn

"The ocean might dry up, Draupadi, but my word will not prove vain. I promise you truly, Draupadi: hold back your tears. Before long you will see your husbands with their enemies slain, crowned with good fortune."

Note on the text: Removed the stray wiki marks (backtick and quote mark) around the first line, which Wikisource marks as an insertion; that line is not in the critical edition's text (found in the vulgate recension) and is recorded in its apparatus as 5.80.48d*0380. The last two lines are the critical edition's 5.80.49. Corrected अचिदाद्द्रक्ष्यसे → अचिराद्द्रक्ष्यसे (misprint in Wikisource; critical edition acirād drakṣyase).
