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 स्वर्गं गन्ताऽहमच्युत ।

यूयं गर्छिहितसङ्कल्पाः शोचन्तो वर्तयिष्यथ ॥
 
(6

"
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)."
