Day 16 [2.04-2.06]

अर्जुन उवाच ।

कथं भीष्ममहं सङ्ख्ये द्रोणं च मधुसूदन ।

इषुभिः प्रतियोत्स्यामि पूजार्हावरिसूदन ॥ २-४॥

Arjuna said:

4. How, O Madhusudana, shall I fight in battle with arrows against Bhishma and Drona, who are fit to be worshipped, O destroyer of enemies?

 

गुरूनहत्वा हि महानुभावान्

श्रेयो भोक्तुं भैक्ष्यमपीह लोके ।

हत्वार्थकामांस्तु गुरूनिहैव

भुञ्जीय भोगान् रुधिरप्रदिग्धान् ॥ २-५॥ 

gurūnahatwā hi mahānubhāvān
śhreyo bhoktu
bhaikhyamapīha loke
hatwārtha-kāmā

bhuñjīya bhogān rudhira-pradigdhān
(2.5)

 கு3ரூனஹத்1வா ஹி மஹானுபா4வான்

ஶ்ரேயோ போ4க்1து1ம் பை4க்ஷ்யமபீ1ஹ லோகே1 |

5. Better it is, indeed, in this world to accept alms than to slay the most noble teachers. But if I kill them, even in this world all my enjoyments of wealth and desires will be stained with (their) blood. 

न चैतद्विद्मः कतरन्नो गरीयो

यद्वा जयेम यदि वा नो जयेयुः ।

यानेव हत्वा न जिजीविषामस्-

ते ऽवस्थिताः प्रमुखे धार्तराष्ट्राः ॥ २-६॥ 

na chaitad vidma kataranno garīyo
yadwā jayema yadi vā no jayeyu

yāneva hatvā na jijīvi
hāmas
te ’vasthitā
pramukhe dhārtarāh(2.6) 

ந சை11த்1வித்3ம: க11ரன்னோ க3ரீயோ

யத்3வா ஜயேம யதி3 வா னோ ஜயேயு:

யானேவ ஹத்1வா ந ஜிஜீவிஷாமஸ்

‌தே1வஸ்தி2தா1: ப்1ரமுகே2 தா4ர்த1ராஷ்ட்1ரா: ||6|| 

6. I can hardly tell which will be better: that we should conquer them or they should conquer us. Even the sons of Dhritarashtra, after slaying whom we do not wish to live, stand facing us.
