English: Bhimasena, that dweller of the mountainous country, Shakuni, is exceedingly artful. Plying at dice in the midst of the assembly-unacquainted as I am with the artifices of any kind, he defeated me by adopting all possible artful means. It is therefore we have been overwhelmed with this c:lamity.
Sanskrit: अक्षांश्च दृष्ट्वा शकुनेर्यथावत् कामानुकूलानयुजो युजश्च। शक्यो नियन्तुमभविष्यदात्मा मन्युस्तु हन्यात् पुरुषस्यधैर्यम्॥

Sanskrit: मवभोत्स्यन्ते भरतानां चराश्च। अन्यांश्चरेथास्तावतोऽब्दांस्तथा त्वं निश्चित्य तत् प्रतिजानीहि पार्थ॥
English: O sire, O son of Pritha, (if during that period) spies of the Bharatas, hearing of you, become successful in discovering you, you shall then have again to live in the forest for the same period passing once more the last year in secrecy. Reflecting on this, pledge yourself to it.
Sanskrit: चरेश्चेन्नोऽविदितः कालमेतं युक्तो राजन् मोहयित्वा मदीयान्। ब्रवीमि सत्यं कुरुसंसदीह तवैव ता. भारत पञ्च नद्यः॥
English: O king, as regards myself, I pledge myself in this assembly of the Kurus, if you can pass this period of time evading the vigilance of my spies and if you can remain undiscovered by them, then O descendant of Bharata, this kingdom of the five rivers will be once more yours.
Sanskrit: वयं चैतद् भारत सर्व एव त्वया जिताः कालमपास्य भोगान्। वसेम इत्याह पुरा स राजा मध्ये कुरूणां स मयोक्तस्तथेति॥
English: O descendant of Bharata, we also, if defeated by you at play, shall all of us, abandoning all our wealth, pass other same period according to the same rules." Thus said that king in the midst of the Kurus; and I said "So Be it."
Sanskrit: तत्र द्यूतमभवन्नो जघन्यं तस्मिञ्जिताः प्रव्रजिताश्च सर्वे। इत्थं तु देशाननुसंचरामो वनानि कृच्छ्राणि च कृच्छ्ररूपाः॥
English: The hateful play then began. We were defeated and we were all exiled. We are thus wandering miserably over difficult forests full of discomforts.
Sanskrit: सुयोधनश्चापि न शान्तिमिच्छन् भूयः स मन्योर्वशमन्वगच्छत्। उद्योजयामास कुरूंश्च सर्वान् ये चास्य केचिद् वशमन्वगच्छन्॥
English: Suyodhana (Duryodhana), however, having been not satisfied (with what he had done), gave himself up to anger and urged the Kurus and all those who were under his away to express their joy at our distress.
Sanskrit: को नाम जह्यादिह राज्यहेतोः। आर्यस्य मन्ये मरणाद् गरीयो यद्धर्ममुत्क्रम्य महीं प्रशासेत्॥
English: Having entered into such a pledge in the presence of all the pious and good men, who can now dare break it for the sake of a kingdom in this world? For in my opinion, to a respectable person death is not more serious than an act of transgression in order to gain a kingdom.
Sanskrit: तदैव चेद् वीर कर्माकरिष्यो यदा द्यूते परिघं पर्यमृक्षः। बाहू दिधक्षन् वारितः फाल्गुनेन किं दुष्कृतं भीम तदाभविष्यत्॥
English: O hero, you desired to burn my hand at the time of the play; you were, however, prevented by Arjuna and you only squeezed your mace. O Bhima, if you had done it, this calamity could not then befall us.
Sanskrit: प्रागेव चैवं समयक्रियायाः किं नाब्रवीः पौरुषमाविदानाः। प्राप्तं तु कालं त्वभिपद्य पश्चात् किं मामिदानीमतिवेलमात्य॥
English: O Bhima, conscious as you are of your prowess, why did you not say so before we entered into such an agreement? Having already burdened myself with the pledge made at that time what is the use of your speaking to me these harsh words (now)?
Sanskrit: भूयोऽपि दुःखं मम भीमसेन दूये विषस्येव रसं हि पीत्वा। यद् याज्ञसेनी परिक्लिश्यमानां संदृश्य तत् क्षान्तमिति स्म भीम॥
English: O Bhimasena, this was my great grief that I could not do anything when I saw Yajnaseni (Draupadi) persecuted in that way. O Bhima, my heart burns on account of this, as if I have drunk some poisonous liquid.
Sanskrit: न त्वद्य शक्यं भरतप्रवीर कृत्वा यदुक्तं कुरुवीरमध्ये। कालं प्रतीक्षस्व सुखोदयस्य पक्तिं फलानामिव बीजवापः॥
English: O foremost of the Bharata race, having made the pledge in the presence of the Kurus there, I am unable (now) to violate it. Wait for the return of our better days, as scatterers of seed wait for the harvest.
Sanskrit: यदा हि पूर्वं निकृतो निकृन्तेद् वैरं सपुष्पं सफलं विदित्वा। महागुणं हरति हि पौरुषेण तदा वीरो जीवति जीवलोके॥ श्रियं च लोके लभते समग्रां मन्ये चास्मै शत्रवः संनमन्ते। मित्राणि चैनमचिराद् भजन्ते देवा इवेन्द्रमुपजीवन्ति चैनम्॥
English: When one that has been first injured succeeds in revenging himself upon his enemy at a time when the latter's enmity has borne fruits and flowers, he is regarded as one who has accomplished a great deed by his prowess. Such a brave man earns undying fame. Such a man obtains great prosperity. His enemies bow down to him and his friends gather round him, as the celestials cluster round Indra for protection.
Sanskrit: मम प्रतिज्ञां च निबोध सत्यां वृणेधर्मममृताज्जीविताच्च। राज्यं च पुत्राश्च यशोधनं च सर्वं न सत्यस्य कलामुपैति॥
English: Know my promise cannot be made false. I regard Dharma as superior to life itself and divinity. Kingdoms, sons, fame and wealth all these do not come up even to a sixteenth part of truth.
Sanskrit: भीमसेन उवाच संधिं कृत्वैव कालेन ह्यन्तकेन पतत्त्रिणा। अनन्तेनाप्रमेयेण स्रोतसा सर्वहारिणा॥ प्रत्यक्षं मन्यसे कालं मर्त्यः सन् कालबन्धनः। फेनधर्मा महाराज फलधर्मा तथैव च॥
English: Bhima said : O great king, being mortal and unsubstantial as froth, unstable as fruit and dependant on time, how can you consider of any avail your having made an agreement in respect of Time, which is infinite and immeasurable, which passes as quickly as an arrow or a stream, carrying everything before it like death itself?
Sanskrit: निमेषादपि कौन्तेय यस्यायुरपचीयते। सूच्येवाञ्जनचूर्णस्य किमिति प्रतिपालयेत्॥
English: O son of Kunti, how can he wait whose life is shortened every moment, as a quantity of collyrium is lessened each time, a grain is taken up by the needle?
Sanskrit: यो नूनममितायुः स्यादथवापि प्रमाणवित्। स कालं वै प्रतीक्षेत सर्वप्रत्यक्षदर्शिवान्॥
English: Only he whose life has no limit or he who knows with certainty what the period of his life (really) is or he who knows the future as if it were placed before his eyes can wait for the arrival of (a certain fixed) time.
Sanskrit: प्रतीक्ष्यमाणः कालो न: समा राजस्त्रयोदश। आयुषोऽपचयं कृत्वा मरणायोपनेष्यति।॥
English: O king, if we wait for thirteen years, that period of time will shorten our lives and bring us nearer to death.
Sanskrit: शरीरिणां हि मरणं शरीरे नित्यमाश्रितम्। प्रागेव मरणात् तस्माद् राज्यायैव घटामहे॥
English: Wealth is ever established in every creature having corporeal body. Therefore we should try to get possession of our kingdom before we meet with death.
Sanskrit: यो न याति प्रसंख्यानमस्पष्टो भूमिवर्धनः। अयातयित्वा वैराणि सोऽवसीदति गौरिव॥
English: He who fails to achieve fame by not chastising his enemies is like a thing unclean. He is an useless burden of the earth as a brute is and perishes with ignominy.
Sanskrit: यो न यातयते वैरमल्पसत्त्वोद्यमः पुमान्। अफलं जन्म तस्याहं मन्ये दुर्जातजायिनः॥
English: The man, who being destitute of strength and courage, fails to chastise his enemies lives in vain. I consider such a man as low-born.

English: Your hand can shower gold; your fame spreads over the whole earth. Therefore, killing your enemies in battle, enjoy the wealth acquired by the strength of your arms.
Sanskrit: हत्वा वै पुरुषो राजन् निकर्तारमरिदम्। अह्राय नरकं गच्छेत् स्वर्गेणास्य स सम्मितः॥
English: O king, O chastiser of foes, if a man goes to hell on the very day he kills his injurer, that hell at once becomes heaven to him.
Sanskrit: अमर्षजो हि संतापः पावकाद् दीप्तिमत्तरः। येनाहमभिसंतप्तो न नक्तं न दिवा शये॥
English: The pain that one feels in suppressing his anger is more burning than fire itself. I burn with it even now and I cannot sleep either in the night or in the day.

English: Nakula, Sahadeva, the old mother of heroes (Kunti) are all sitting like dumb people in order to please you.
Sanskrit: सर्वे ते प्रियमिच्छन्ति बान्धवाः सह सृञ्जयैः। अहमेकश्च संतप्तो माता च प्रतिविन्ध्यतः॥

English: O king, what greater calamity would befall us than that our kingdom should be snatched away from us and enjoyed by weak and contemptible foes!

English: You have heard the duties of kings told by Manu, they are fraught with crookedness and unfairness, they are perfectly opposed to peace and virtue. O great king, why do you then forgive the wicked-minded of Dhritarashtra. O foremost of men, why are you silent in performing your duties being a man of ' high birth?
Sanskrit: तृणानां मुष्टिनैकेन हिमवन्तं च पर्वतम्॥ छन्नमिच्छसि कौन्तेय योऽस्मान् संवर्तुमिच्छसि।
