THE MAHABHARATA
 
Krishna-
"You have committed sins, overpowered
 
by your avarice and excess of strength.
 
Let the consequence thereof be enjoyed."
 
दुर्योधनः-
'यदिष्टं क्षत्रबन्धूनां स्वधर्ममनुपश्यताम् ।
तदिदं निधनं प्राप्तं को नु स्वन्ततरो मया ॥
Duryodhana-
"I die the death which is dear to
born Kshatriyas who follow their own
Dharma ; who can have a more glorious
end than myself?
 
'ससुहृत्सानुबन्धश्च स्वर्ग गन्ताऽहमच्युत ।
यूयं गर्छितसङ्कल्पाः शोचन्तो वर्तयिष्यथ ॥

Krishna, I will go to heaven with my
friends and followers ! With despised
desires, you will live, sorrowing.
 
"
 
न मे विषादो भीमेन पादेन शिर आइतम् ।
काका वा कंकगृध्रा वा निधास्यन्ति पदं क्षणात् ॥'
"There is no sorrow for me that my
head was kicked by Bhima with his foot;
in a moment, crows, herons and vultures
are going to place their feet (on my head)."
