THE MAHABHARATA
समाधातुं कार्यमेतद्विपन्नम् ।
अहापयित्वा यदि पाण्डवार्
शमं कुरुणामपि चेच्छकेयम् ।
पुण्यं च मे स्याच्चरितं महोदयं
मुच्येरंश्च कुरवो मृत्युपाशात् ॥
"I myself wish to go there in person
to set aright this affair that has gone
to set aright this affair that has gone
wrong. If, without spoiling the cause of
the Pandavas, I am able to secure peace
for the Kauravas, meritorious and highly
fruitful will the part I play be and freed
indeed will the Kauravas be from the
noose of death.
'स्थिताश्शुश्रूषितुं पार्थाः स्थिता योद्धुमरिन्दमाः ।
यत्कृत्यं धृतराष्ट्रस्य तत्करोतु नराधिपः ॥ '
"Ready are the Pandavas to serve;
ready are they, the sub
to fight; what king Dhritarashtra wants
to do, let him do."
