THE MAHABHARATA
मेने कृतार्थमात्मानं सफलं जन्म च [ प्रभो ] ॥
Killing the sons of Dhritarashtra, Bhima
considered himself as having achieved his
purpose, and his birth and life fruitful.
ततो हि शकुनी [ राजन् ] सहदेवं समभ्ययात् ।
सहदेवोऽथ शकुनिमुवाच स्मारयन्निव ॥
Then Sakuni attacked Sahadeva and
Sahadeva told Sakuni, as if reminding him :
'यत्तदा भाषसे मूढ गृह्णन्नक्षान्सभातले ।
फलमद्य प्रपद्यस्व कर्मणस्तस्य दुर्मते ॥'
"Fool, evil-minded Sakuni, what you
spoke then on the floor of the gambling-hall,
taking the dice, of that action, reap the
fruit now."
माद्रीसुतस्तस्य दृढायसेन
भल्लेन सर्वावरणातिगेन ।
शिरश्शरीरात्प्रममाथ भूयो
यत्तत्कुरूणामनयस्य मूलम् ॥
With a strong iron arrow which could
pierce through any armour, Sahadeva cut
completely from off the body that head of
Sakuni which was at the root of the evil
conduct of the Kauravas.
