UDYOGA PARVA

" Bhishma, Kripa, Drona and Karna cannot,
01 Krishna, be won in battle even by
the gods; why mention the Pandavas ?
'ते वयं वीरशयनं प्राप्स्यामो यदि संयुगे ।
अप्रणम्यैव शत्रूणां न नस्तप्स्यन्ति माधव ॥
"If, without bowing to our enemies,
we die a warrior's death on the battle-field,
none will feel sorry for us, Krishna.
 
'राज्यांशश्चाभ्यनुज्ञातो यो मे पित्रा पुराऽभवत्।
न स लभ्यः पुनर्जातु मयि जीवति केशव ।
"And that share of the kingdom which
was previously granted (to the Pandavas) by
my father, that can never be had again so long
as I am alive.
 
'यावद्धि तीक्ष्णया सूच्या विद्धवेदग्रेण केशव ।
तायदण्यपरित्याज्यं भूमेर्नः पाण्डवान्प्रति ॥'
 
"Krishna, that much of our land even
as is pierced by the tip of a sharp needle,
cannot be parted with to the Pandavas."
 
ततः प्रहस्य दाशार्हः क्रोधपर्याकुलेक्षणः ।
दुर्योधनमिदं वाक्यमब्रवीत् कुरुसंसदि ॥
