" Bhishma, Kripa, Drona and Karna cannot,
01 Krishna, be won in battle e
andaven by
the gods; why mention the Pandav
as ?

 
'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 विद्धवेध्येदग्रेण केशव ।

ताण्ष्यपरित्याज्यं 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 ॥
