THE MAHABHARATA
 
'आत्मनो ह्यपराधेन महद्वयसनमीदृशम् ।

प्राप्तवानसि यल्लोभान्मदाद्वाल्याच्च भारत ॥
 

"By your own fault, by your avarice,

haughtiness and childishness,
you, scion
you, scion
of Bharata, have come to such a

great disaster.
 

 
'आत्मा न शोचनीयस्ते श्लाघ्यो मृत्युस्तवानघ।

वयमेवाधुना शोच्यास्तैहींर्हीना बन्धुभिः प्रियैः ॥'
 

Sinless Duryodhiana, you must not feel

sorry for yourself; laudable is your death.

It is ourselves, bereſt of those dear

kinsmen, who should be pitied."
 

 
कृष्णः-

'रथेष्वारोहत क्षिप्रं गच्छामो वसुधाधिपाः ।
 

दिष्ट्या हतोऽयं पापात्मा सामात्यज्ञातिबान्धवः ॥'

Krishna -
 

Kings, mount the chariots quickly, we

shall go.
Luckily this sinner is killed

together with his counsellors and kinsmen."

इति श्रुत्वा त्वधिक्षेपं कृष्णाद्दुर्योधनो नृपः ।

दृष्टिं भूभ्रूसंकटां कृत्वा वासुदेवे न्यपातयत् ॥
