Arjuna and Uttara Reveal the Pandavas to Virata

Verse 1 (4.75.1)

यद्येष राजा कौरव्यः कुन्तीपुत्रो युधिष्ठिरः । कतमोऽस्यार्जुनो भ्राता भीमश्च कतमो बली ॥

yadyeṣa rājā kauravyaḥ kuntīputro yudhiṣṭhiraḥ | katamo'syārjuno bhrātā bhīmaśca katamo balī

If this is indeed the Kaurava king Yudhishthira, the son of Kunti, then which of these is his brother Arjuna, and which is the mighty Bhima?

Verse 2 (4.75.2)

नकुलः सहदेवो वा द्रौपदी वा यशस्विनी । यदा ह्यक्षैर्जिता ह्येते नान्तरा श्रूयते कथा ॥

nakulaḥ sahadevo vā draupadī vā yaśasvinī | yadā hyakṣairjitā hyete nāntarā śrūyate kathā

Which are Nakula and Sahadeva, and which the glorious Draupadi? Ever since they were beaten at dice, no word of them has been heard in all this time.

Note on the text: A variant of CE 4.66.2: the first line agrees; the second differs (यदा ह्यक्षैर्जिता ह्येते नान्तरा श्रूयते कथा for yadā dyūte jitāḥ pārthā na prājñāyanta te kva cit). The automatic alignment left this verse unmatched.

Verse 3 (4.75.3)

य एष बललोऽभूत्ते सूपकारश्च ते नृप । एष भीमो महाभाग भीमवेगपराक्रमः ॥

ya eṣa balalo'bhūtte sūpakāraśca te nṛpa | eṣa bhīmo mahābhāga bhīmavegaparākramaḥ

The one who was Valala to you, your cook, O king, is Bhima, the fortunate one, fearsome in speed and valour.

Note on the text: A variant of CE 4.66.3 (बललोऽभूत्ते सूपकारश्च ते नृप for ballavo brūte sūdas tava narādhipa; महाभाग for mahābāhur); Wikisource's form बलल (Valala) of Bhima's alias is kept. The automatic alignment left this verse unmatched.

Verse 4 (4.75.4)

एष क्रोधवशान्हत्वा पर्वते गन्धमादने । सौगन्धिकानि पुष्पाणि कृष्णार्थे समुपानयत् ॥

eṣa krodhavaśānhatvā parvate gandhamādane | saugandhikāni puṣpāṇi kṛṣṇārthe samupānayat

It was he who slew the Krodhavasha demons on Mount Gandhamadana and brought back the saugandhika flowers for Krishna.

Note on the text: A variant of CE 4.66.4 (पुष्पाणि … समुपानयत् for divyāni … samupāharat).

Verse 5 (4.75.5)

गन्धर्व एष वै हन्ता कीचकानां दुरात्मनाम् । व्याघ्रानृक्षान्गजांश्चैव हतवांश्च पुरे तव ॥

gandharva eṣa vai hantā kīcakānāṃ durātmanām | vyāghrānṛkṣāngajāṃścaiva hatavāṃśca pure tava

He is the gandharva who killed the wicked Kichakas, and he too killed tigers, bears and elephants in your city.

Note on the text: A variant of CE 4.66.5 (गजांश्चैव … पुरे for varāhāṃś ca … strīpure).

Verse 6 (4.75.6)

हिडिम्बं च बकं चैव किर्मीरं च जटासुरम् । हत्वा निष्कण्टकं चक्रे अरण्यं सर्वतः शुभम् ॥

hiḍimbaṃ ca bakaṃ caiva kirmīraṃ ca jaṭāsuram | hatvā niṣkaṇṭakaṃ cakre araṇyaṃ sarvataḥ śubham

Having slain Hidimba and Baka, Kirmira and Jatasura, he cleared the forest of every thorn and made it safe on all sides.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension). It is in its apparatus as 4.66.5d*1133 (sukham for शुभम्).

Verse 7 (4.75.7)

यश्चासीदश्वबन्धस्ते नकुलोऽयं परन्तप । गोसङ्ख्यः सहदेवश्च माद्रीपुत्रौ महाबलौ ॥

yaścāsīdaśvabandhaste nakulo'yaṃ parantapa | gosaṅkhyaḥ sahadevaśca mādrīputrau mahābalau

Your horse-keeper, O scorcher of foes, is Nakula, and the keeper of your cattle-count is Sahadeva. These are the two mighty sons of Madri.

Verse 8 (4.75.8)

शृङ्गारवेषाभरणौ रूपवन्तौ मनस्विनौ । नानारथसहस्राणां समर्थौ भरतर्षभौ ॥

śṛṅgāraveṣābharaṇau rūpavantau manasvinau | nānārathasahasrāṇāṃ samarthau bharatarṣabhau

Handsome and high-minded, adorned with fine dress and ornaments, these two bulls of the Bharatas are each a match for many thousands of chariot-warriors.

Note on the text: Corrected शृङ्गारवेषारणौ → शृङ्गारवेषाभरणौ (misprint in Wikisource; a dropped भ leaves a non-word and a seven-syllable quarter; the CE reads śṛṅgāraveṣābharaṇau). A variant of CE 4.66.7 (मनस्विनौ, भरतर्षभौ for yaśasvinau, puruṣarṣabhau).

Verse 9 (4.75.9)

एषा पद्मपलाशाक्षी सुमध्या चारुहासिनी । सैरन्ध्री द्रौपदी राजन्यत्कृते कीचका हताः ॥

eṣā padmapalāśākṣī sumadhyā cāruhāsinī | sairandhrī draupadī rājanyatkṛte kīcakā hatāḥ

And this lotus-eyed woman, slender-waisted and sweetly smiling, the sairandhri, is Draupadi, O king, for whose sake the Kichakas were slain.

Note on the text: Corrected राजन्यकृते → राजन्यत्कृते (misprint in Wikisource; a dropped त्; the CE reads rājan yatkṛte).

Verse 10 (4.75.10)

द्रुपदस्य प्रिया पुत्री धृष्टद्युम्नस्य चानुजा । अग्निकुण्डात्समुद्भूता द्रौपदी त्ववगम्यताम् ॥

drupadasya priyā putrī dhṛṣṭadyumnasya cānujā | agnikuṇḍātsamudbhūtā draupadī tvavagamyatām

She is Drupada's beloved daughter, the younger sister of Dhrishtadyumna, born from the fire-altar: know her to be Draupadi.

Note on the text: Corrected धृष्ट्युम्नस्य → धृष्टद्युम्नस्य (misprint in Wikisource; a dropped द; the CE apparatus reads dhṛṣṭadyumnasya). Not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension). It is in its apparatus as 4.66.8d*1134, lines 1–2.

Verse 11 (4.75.11)

अस्त्रज्ञो दुर्लभः कश्चित्केवलं पृथिवीमनु । धनुर्भृतामतिश्रेष्ठः कौन्तेयोऽयं धनंजयः ॥

astrajño durlabhaḥ kaścitkevalaṃ pṛthivīmanu | dhanurbhṛtāmatiśreṣṭhaḥ kaunteyo'yaṃ dhanaṃjayaḥ

Rare on all the earth is a master of weapons such as he. This son of Kunti, Dhananjaya, is the very best of all who bear the bow.

Note on the text: Corrected कौन्तेयोयं → कौन्तेयोऽयं (misprint in Wikisource; missing avagraha). Not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension). It is in its apparatus as 4.66.8d*1134, lines 3–4 (dhanuḥspṛśāṃ tathā for धनुर्भृतामति); there the heading bhīmaḥ stands one line earlier, before verse 10's second line. Wikisource's heading भीम उवाच above this verse is kept (speaker of verses 11–15).

Verse 12 (4.75.12)

एतेन खाण्डवं तस्य ह्यकामस्य शतक्रतोः । दग्धं नागवनं चैव सह नागैर्नराधिप ॥

etena khāṇḍavaṃ tasya hyakāmasya śatakratoḥ | dagdhaṃ nāgavanaṃ caiva saha nāgairnarādhipa

It was by him that the Khandava forest, the forest of the Nagas, was burnt together with its serpents, against the will of Indra of the hundred sacrifices, O lord of men.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension). It is in its apparatus as 4.66.8d*1134, lines 5–6.

Verse 13 (4.75.13)

वर्षं च शरवर्षेण वारितं दुर्जयेन वै । करमाहारिताः सर्वे पार्थिवाः पृथिवीतले ॥

varṣaṃ ca śaravarṣeṇa vāritaṃ durjayena vai | karamāhāritāḥ sarve pārthivāḥ pṛthivītale

This invincible one held back Indra's rain with a rain of arrows, and he made all the kings on the face of the earth pay him tribute.

strīveṣaṃ kṛtavāneṣa tava rājanniveśane | bṛhannaleti yāmāhurarjunaṃ jayatāṃvaram

He took on a woman's guise in your palace, O king. The one they called Brihannala is Arjuna, the best of victors.

uṣitāḥsma sukhaṃ sarve tava rājanniveśane | ajñātavāse nibhṛtā garbhavāsa iva prajāḥ

We have all lived happily in your palace, O king, hidden through our year of concealment like children in the womb.

Note on the text: A variant of CE 4.66.10, where Arjuna speaks it; the automatic alignment left it unmatched. CE 4.66.9 (arjuno 'haṃ mahārāja…), which precedes it there, has no counterpart in Wikisource.

Verse 16 (4.75.16)

यदाऽर्जुनेन ते वीराः कथिताः पञ्च पाण्डवाः । पुनरेव च तान्पार्थान्दर्शयामास चोत्तरः ॥

yadā'rjunena te vīrāḥ kathitāḥ pañca pāṇḍavāḥ | punareva ca tānpārthāndarśayāmāsa cottaraḥ

When Arjuna had named the five heroic Pandavas, Uttara once more pointed out the sons of Pritha to his father.

Note on the text: The first line is CE 4.66.11ab. The second (for the CE's tadārjunasya vairāṭiḥ…, which stands at verse 22) is not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension); it is in its apparatus as 4.66.11d*1136, line 1 (eva tu for एव च).

Verse 17 (4.75.17)

य एष जाम्बूनदशुद्धगौर- । तनुर्महान्सिंह इव प्रवृद्धः । प्रचण्डघोणः पृथुदीर्घनेत्र- । स्ताम्रायताक्षः कुरुराज एषः ॥

This one, whose great body is fair as pure gold, tall and powerful like a lion, with a high nose and large, long, copper-red eyes, is the king of the Kurus.

Note on the text: Corrected प्रवद्धः → प्रवृद्धः (misprint in Wikisource; a dropped ṛ-sign; the CE apparatus reads pravṛddhaḥ). Not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension). It is in its apparatus as 4.66.11d*1136, lines 2–5 (mahāsiṃha for महान्सिंह), with the heading uttara uvāca, as in Wikisource.

Verse 18 (4.75.18)

अयं पुनर्मत्तगजेन्द्रगामी । प्रतप्तचामीकरशुद्धगौरः । पृथ्वायतांसो गुरुदीर्घबाहु- । र्वृकोदरः पश्यत पश्यतैनम् ॥

yastveva pārśve'sya mahādhanuṣmā- | ñśyāmo yuvā vāraṇayūthapopamaḥ | siṃhonnatāṃso gajarājagāmī | padmāyatākṣo'rjuna eṣa vīraḥ

And the one beside him, the great bowman, dark and youthful, like the leader of a herd of elephants, with shoulders high as a lion's and the gait of a king of elephants, his eyes long as lotus petals: this hero is Arjuna.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension). It is in its apparatus as 4.66.11d*1136, lines 10–13 (yas tv eṣa for यस्त्वेव).

Verse 20 (4.75.20)

राज्ञः समीपे पुरुषोत्तमौ तु । यमाविमौ विष्णुमहेन्द्रकल्पौ । मनुष्यलोके सकले समोऽस्ति । ययोर्न रूपे न बले न शीले ॥

rājñaḥ samīpe puruṣottamau tu | yamāvimau viṣṇumahendrakalpau | manuṣyaloke sakale samo'sti | yayorna rūpe na bale na śīle

And these two near the king, the best of men, are the twins, the equals of Vishnu and great Indra. In all the world of men there is none to match them in beauty, in strength or in character.

Note on the text: Corrected विष्णुमहेन्द्रकलौ → विष्णुमहेन्द्रकल्पौ (misprint in Wikisource; a dropped प् leaves no sense; the CE apparatus reads viṣṇumahendrakalpau). Not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension). It is in its apparatus as 4.66.11d*1136, lines 14–17 (yau for तु).

Verse 21 (4.75.21)

आभ्यां तु पार्श्वे कनकोत्तमाङ्गी । यैषा प्रभा मूर्तिमतीव गौरी । नीलोत्पलाभा सुरदेवतेव । कृष्णा स्थिता मूर्तिमतीव लक्ष्मीः ॥

ābhyāṃ tu pārśve kanakottamāṅgī | yaiṣā prabhā mūrtimatīva gaurī | nīlotpalābhā suradevateva | kṛṣṇā sthitā mūrtimatīva lakṣmīḥ

And beside these two, she whose limbs are finer than gold, who stands like radiance given form, like Gauri, with the hue of a blue lotus, like a goddess among the gods, like Lakshmi embodied: that is Krishna.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension). It is in its apparatus as 4.66.11d*1136, lines 18–21.

Verse 22 (4.75.22)

एवं निवेद्य तान्पार्थान्पाण्डवान्पञ्च भूपतेः । ततोऽर्जुनस्य वैराटिः कथयामास विक्रमम् ॥

evaṃ nivedya tānpārthānpāṇḍavānpañca bhūpateḥ | tato'rjunasya vairāṭiḥ kathayāmāsa vikramam

Having thus made the five Pandavas, the sons of Pritha, known to the king, Virata's son then told of Arjuna's prowess.

Note on the text: The first line is not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension); it is in its apparatus as 4.66.11d*1137 (with the heading vaiśaṃpāyana uvāca, as in Wikisource). The second line is CE 4.66.11cd (tadārjunasya for ततोऽर्जुनस्य), whose first half stands at verse 16.

Verse 23 (4.75.23)

अयं स द्विषतां मध्ये मृगाणामिव केसरी । अचरद्रथबृन्देषु निघ्नंस्तेषां परावरान् ॥

ayaṃ sa dviṣatāṃ madhye mṛgāṇāmiva kesarī | acaradrathabṛndeṣu nighnaṃsteṣāṃ parāvarān

This is he who moved among the hosts of chariots in the midst of his foes like a lion among deer, striking down the highest and the lowest of them.

Note on the text: No speaker heading in Wikisource (the input carried वैशम्पायन over); Uttara's account of Arjuna's prowess (verses 23–32), introduced by verse 22, is in the first person ("my ears", "stopped me") and is assigned to him. A variant of CE 4.66.12 (परावरान् for varān varān).

Verse 24 (4.75.24)

अनेन विद्धा मातङ्गा महामेघोपमास्तदा । हिरण्यकक्ष्याः संग्रामे दन्ताभ्यामगमन्महीम् ॥

anena viddhā mātaṅgā mahāmeghopamāstadā | hiraṇyakakṣyāḥ saṃgrāme dantābhyāmagamanmahīm

Pierced by him, elephants huge as great clouds, with golden girths, sank to the earth upon their tusks in the battle.

Note on the text: A variant of CE 4.66.13 (Wikisource has elephants in the plural, "like great clouds", for the CE's single great elephant felled by one arrow). Uttara's speech continues.

Verse 25 (4.75.25)

अनेन विजिता गावो निर्जिताः कुरवो युधि । अस्य शङ्खस्य शब्देन कर्णौ मे बधिरीकृतौ ॥

anena vijitā gāvo nirjitāḥ kuravo yudhi | asya śaṅkhasya śabdena karṇau me badhirīkṛtau

By him the cattle were won back and the Kurus beaten in battle. The blast of his conch made my ears deaf.

Note on the text: A variant of CE 4.66.14 (निर्जिताः, शङ्खस्य शब्देन for jitāś ca, śaṅkhapraṇādena).

Verse 26 (4.75.26)

जायते रोमहर्षो मे संस्मृत्यास्य धनुर्ध्वनिम् । ध्वजस्य वानरं भूतैराक्रोशन्तं सहानुगैः ॥

jāyate romaharṣo me saṃsmṛtyāsya dhanurdhvanim | dhvajasya vānaraṃ bhūtairākrośantaṃ sahānugaiḥ

My hair stands on end when I recall the twang of his bow, and the monkey on his banner roaring along with the spirits that attend it.

Note on the text: Corrected रोमर्षो → रोमहर्षो (misprint in Wikisource; a dropped ह; the CE apparatus reads romaharṣo). Not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension). It is in its apparatus as 4.66.14d*1141, lines 1–2.

Verse 27 (4.75.27)

नाददानं शरान्घोरान्न मुञ्चन्तं शरोत्करान् । न कार्मुकं विकर्षन्तमेनं पश्यामि संयुगे ॥

nādadānaṃ śarānghorānna muñcantaṃ śarotkarān | na kārmukaṃ vikarṣantamenaṃ paśyāmi saṃyuge

In the battle I could not see him taking up his dreadful arrows, nor loosing his volleys, nor drawing his bow.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension). It is in its apparatus as 4.66.14d*1141, lines 3–4.

Verse 28 (4.75.28)

एतद्धनुःप्रमुक्ताश्च शराः पुङ्खानुपुङ्खिनः । नालक्ष्येषु रणे पेतुर्नाराचा रक्तभोजनाः ॥

etaddhanuḥpramuktāśca śarāḥ puṅkhānupuṅkhinaḥ | nālakṣyeṣu raṇe peturnārācā raktabhojanāḥ

The arrows loosed from his bow, flying one on the heels of another, iron shafts that feed on blood, never fell in battle anywhere but on their marks.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension). It is in its apparatus as 4.66.14d*1141, lines 5–6.

अनेन तटिनी तत्र शोणिताम्बुप्रवाहिनी । प्रवर्तिता भीमरूपा यां स्मृत्वाऽद्यापि मे मनः । प्रकम्पते चण्डवायुकम्पिता कदली यथा ॥

anena taṭinī tatra śoṇitāmbupravāhinī | pravartitā bhīmarūpā yāṃ smṛtvā'dyāpi me manaḥ | prakampate caṇḍavāyukampitā kadalī yathā

He set flowing there a river with a current of blood, terrible to see; remembering it even now my heart trembles like a plantain tree shaken by a fierce wind.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension). It is in its apparatus as 4.66.14d*1141, lines 9–11 (three lines there too).

Verse 31 (4.75.31)

अनेन राजन्वीरेण भीष्मद्रोणमुखा रथाः । दुर्योधनेन सहिता निर्जिता भीमकर्मणा ॥

ayaṃ bhītaṃ dravantaṃ māṃ devaputro nyavārayat | yasya bāhubalenāsmi jīvanpratyāgataḥ puram

This son of a god stopped me as I fled in fear. By the strength of his arm I have come back alive to the city.

Verse 33 (4.75.33)

तस्य तद्वचनं श्रुत्वा मात्स्यराजः प्रतापवान् । धनंजयं परिष्वज्य पाण्डवानथ सर्वशः ॥

Hearing these words of his son, the valiant king of the Matsyas embraced Dhananjaya and then all the Pandavas.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension). It is in its apparatus as 4.66.26d*1144, lines 1–2, under the heading vaiśaṃpāyanaḥ; its first line is also CE 4.66.15ab.

Verse 34 (4.75.34)

धर्मराजं नमस्कृत्य राजा राज्येऽभिषेचितम् । नातृप्यद्दर्शने तेषां विराटो वाहिनीपतिः ॥

dharmarājaṃ namaskṛtya rājā rājye'bhiṣecitam | nātṛpyaddarśane teṣāṃ virāṭo vāhinīpatiḥ

The king bowed to the Dharma-king, now consecrated to the kingship, and Virata, lord of armies, could not look his fill at them.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension). It is in its apparatus as 4.66.26d*1144, lines 3–4 (namaskṛtvā tu rājānaṃ rājan for धर्मराजं नमस्कृत्य राजा); its second line is also CE 4.66.24ab.

Verse 35 (4.75.35)

संप्रीयमाणो राजानं युधिष्ठिरमथाब्रवीत् । दिष्ट्या भवन्तः संप्राप्ताः सर्वे कुशलिनो वनात् ॥

saṃprīyamāṇo rājānaṃ yudhiṣṭhiramathābravīt | diṣṭyā bhavantaḥ saṃprāptāḥ sarve kuśalino vanāt

Rejoicing, he said to King Yudhishthira: "By good fortune you have all come back safe from the forest."

Note on the text: Restored from the critical edition's apparatus (4.66.26d*1144, lines 5–6; the same two lines are CE 4.66.24cd–25ab): Wikisource's page passes from verse 34 straight to a lone line numbered 36c, so verse 35 is lost; *1144 has these two lines between Wikisource's verses 34 and 36. Not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension).

Verse 36 (4.75.36)

दिष्ट्या च चरितं कृच्छ्रमज्ञातं तैर्दुरात्मभिः । इदं राज्यं च वः सर्वं यच्चास्ति वसु किंचन । अविभक्तं भवद्भिर्मे न सन्देहो नराधिपाः ॥

diṣṭyā ca caritaṃ kṛcchramajñātaṃ tairdurātmabhiḥ | idaṃ rājyaṃ ca vaḥ sarvaṃ yaccāsti vasu kiṃcana | avibhaktaṃ bhavadbhirme na sandeho narādhipāḥ

By good fortune, too, you have come through your ordeal undiscovered by those wicked men. This whole kingdom is yours, and whatever wealth there is; between you and me it is undivided. Have no doubt of it, O kings.

Note on the text: Lines 1–2 restored from the critical edition's apparatus (4.66.26d*1144, lines 7–8; cf. CE 4.66.25cd–26ab): Wikisource prints only the third line, numbered 36c, so the first two are lost. The third line is Wikisource's own (*1144, line 9, reads avibhaktam etad bhavatāṃ notkaṇṭhāṃ kartum arhatha). No speaker heading in Wikisource (the input carried वैशम्पायन over); this is Virata's speech, begun in verse 35, so the verse is assigned to him. Not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension). The adhyaya ends here, followed by the colophon.
