·- 1 Preface In the preface to my, edition of the Bhāsa-Nātāka- Cakra, which was first published way back in 1937, I had promised a companion volume, giving a critical introduction, a full translation and explanatory notes for each of these plays. This, for one reason or another, could not be done aptill now, though a few plays viz. the Svapna, the Pratijñā, the Cārudatta and the Trubhanga, were published during the interval. I am glad, it is now possible for me to fulfil partially the pledge I had given to the public, by bringing out these editions of the MBh. plays on the plan previously adverted to. I hope and pray that I shall soon have the opportunity and leisure to bring out the remaining plays. This edition of the MBh. plays is based upon all previ. ously published editions and in translating and annotating I have freely drawn apon them. M. M. Ganapatiśāstri's commentaries, Woolner and Sarup's translation, and the learned articles of Dr. Winternitz, Dr Sukthankar, A. M. Meerwarth, Dr. G. K. Bhat, Prof G. C. Jhala, Dr. Pusalkar's magnum opus on Bhās& and P. C. Roy's translation of the MBL., and many other works, too numerous to mention here, have been liberally laid under contribution and I here make my grateful acknowledgements to all these. I cannot adequately express my gratitude to Dr. R. N. Sardesai, the present proprietor of the Oriental Book Agency, Poona, for his readiness to undertake the publication of these volumes in the Poona Oriental Series. My thanks are also due to Shri M. S. Sathe, the Manager of the Prājna Press, Wai, for the very nice printing and get-up of the work. Prabhākara Niketana, Decean Gymkhana Colony, Poona C. R. Devadhur 20 Dec, 1966 } ·Pancarātram :Introduction The title of the play and its Sources The title of the play is derived from "Five Nights" within which Dropa is to bring news of the Pandavas to entitle them to their share of the kingdom according to Duryodhana's stipulation. The plot of the Pañcarātra is based on the fourth book of the Mahabharata - the Virāta. parvan - a summary of which is found in the following ślokas of the Paryasamgrahaparvan अतःपरं निबोधेदं वैराटं पर्वविस्तरम् । विराटनगरे गत्वा श्मशाने विपुलां शमीम् ।। २०६ ।। दृष्ट्वा सन्निधुस्तत्र पाण्डवा ह्यायुधान्युत । यत्र प्रविश्य नगरं छद्मना न्यवसंस्तु ते ॥ २०७ ।। पाञ्चाली प्रार्थयानस्य कामोपहतचेतसः । दुष्टात्मनो वधो यत्र कीचकस्य वृकोदरात् ॥ २०८ ॥ पाण्डवान्वेषणार्थ च राज्ञो दुर्योधनस्य च । चाराः प्रस्थापिताश्चात्र निपुणाः सर्वतोदिशम् ।। २०९ ।। न च प्रवृत्तिस्तैर्लब्धा पाण्डवानां महात्मनाम् । गोग्रहश्च विराटस्य त्रिगतैः प्रथमं कृतः॥ २१०॥ यत्रास्य युद्धं सुमहत्तैरासील्लोमहर्षणम् । ह्रियमाणश्च यत्रासौ भीमसेनेन मोक्षितः ॥ २११॥ गोधनं च विराटस्य मोक्षितं यत्र पाण्डवैः । अनन्तरं च कुरुमिस्तस्य गोग्रहणं कृतम् ॥ २१२ ॥ समस्ता यत्र पार्थेन निर्जिताः कुरवो युधि ।

Nakula became the keeper of the king's horses and Sahadeva found service as the head of the keepers of the hundred thousand cows of the king. Draupadi, as Sairandhrī, was employed by the queen as a "Coiffeuse." Kīcaka, the powerfal commander-in-chief of Virāta and a brother of the queen, conceives & violent passion for Draapadī and tries to molest her. But Bhīma, as the invi. sible Gandharva who protects her, avenges the insult by taking her place in the dancing hall where she had pretended she would meet him at night. Kīcaka is throttled to death and his corpse mutilated beyond recognition. Draupadſ then calls the keepers of the dancing hall and shows them the mangled corpse of one who had lusted after other people's wives and was slain by her Gandharva husband. Kīcaka's kinsmen – the upakicakas – want to burn Draupadī with the corpse; but Bhima plucks up a palm-tree and kills them. The citizens are afraid of the Gandharvas, the supernatural protectors of Draupadi, and the king agrees to ·Introduction 8 deport her, but allows her at her request to stay another thirteen days at his palace. The Kauravas, meanwhile, get no news of the Pāņdavas but hear the slaughter of the Kicakas, and think this an excellent opportunity to raid the cattle of the Matsyas. At the suggestion of the king of the Trigartas, it was agreed that the Trigarta force should lead the attack from the South-east and the Kauravas should lead the attack from the North, a day later, It is on the expiry of the thirteenth year of the exile of the Pāņdavas that Suśarman, the king of the Trigartas, seizes Virāta's cattle by thousands. A herdsman of Virāta reports to his king of the loss of cattle; Virāța with his army and four Pāņdavas goes out to meet the raiders. There is a fierce encounter between the Trigarta and Matsya hosts, which lasted all day long and far into the moonlit night. At last the king of Trigarta takes Virata captive, and placing him in his car, speedily rushes out of the field. He is, however, saved by Bhima who, advancing impetuously, seizes Suśarman by the hair and dashes him on the ground, The Trigarta army, stricken with panic, breaks and flies in all directions. Sušarman, who is lying unconscious on the ground, is bound by Bhima and brought to Yudhisthira who, however, grants him his life and let him go free. The Kauravas, attacking from the North, raid the Matsya cattle. The chief of the cowherds, greatly affrighted, rushes into the city and asks Uttara to repulse the enemy and bring back the cattle. The prince says he would set out instantly if only some one skilled in the management of horses becomes his charioteer. Sairandhrī recommends Brhannalā - the effeminate dancing teacher and the prince ·4 Pancaratram accepts her for Charioteer. Together they drive out of the city, and as they come near the cemetery, the young prince sights the Kuru host and having lost his nerves, jumps out of the chariot and runs away pursued by Bșhannalā, her long braid and pure red garments fluttering in the air. Some soldiers in the Kuru army laugh, but the Kauravas soon guess that the charioteer is Arjuna. Then giving the reins to the prince, Arjuna undertakes to fight the enemy himself and takes his Teapons from off the Śami tree. He reveals himself to the prince and prepares to meet the Kuru host in battle. He blows his conch, which strikes terror in the hearts of the Kauravas. Duryodhana then speaks to Bhīşma, Drona and Kppa that the thirteenth year was still running, and if Arjuna revealed himself before the term of exile was at an end, then must the Pāņdavas pass another twelve years in the woods. Bhīşma, however, points out that everything that the sons of Pandu had promised has been exactly fulfilled by them. They have now to oppose in battle the foremost of all wielders of the weapons. He, therefore, advises Duryodhana to go to Hastināpura with part of the army and stolen cattle. A long and complicated struggle ensues, in which Arjang forces the cattle back and performing prodigies of valour puts the whole Kura army to flight. Then returning to the Sami tree, Arjuna again conceals his weapons and charges Uttara to take the credit of the fighting and not to betray him. The news of the victory reaches king Virāta who provides his son Uttara with a triumphal reception. He is then playing a game of dice with Kanka, and when the latter gives the credit of the triump to Bșhannalā, he throws the dice in his face so that his nose starts bleeding. Sairandhrī catches the blood in a jar. Uttara and Bșhannalā arrive at the court, but Yudhi- ·The Plot sthira whispers to the doorkeeper to admit Uttara, as he is afraid that the sight of his bleeding nose might anger Arjuna beyond measure. Uttara enters and tells the true facts about the battle, carefully concealing Arjuna's identity under a son of the gods who has vanished. On the third day after the battle, the five Pāņdava brothers attired in white robes and decked in ornaments of all kinds, enter the council hall of Virāta and take their seats on the thrones reserved for kings. King Virāta is enraged, but Arjuna reveals to him Yudhisthira and his brothers. Uttara supports him and describes the powers of Arjuna. The king of the Matsyas, considering himself guilty of having offended Yudhisthira, makes his peace with the Pāņdavas and offers his daughter to Arjuna, who accepts her for daughter-in-law. Then at Upaplavya, a Matsya town, where the Pāndavas have settled, the wedding of Uttarā and Abhimanyu is celebrated with great pomp. Pancaratram - The Plot Act. I After the benedictory stanza in which the names of the principal characters in the drama are introduced, the stage-manager hears the praise of the grand sacrifice performed by Duryodhana. Then three Brahmins come upon the stage and describe the splendour of Duryodhana's sacrifice, the burning of the sacrificial hall through the rashness of some lads, who remove the sacrificial fire and throw it aside even before the sacramental bath which concludes the sacrifice is performed, and the dying down of that fire after the hall and the rich sacrificial material are reduced to cinders. Towards the close of their conversation which ends the Interlude, the Brahmins announce the entry of Bhīşma, Droņa and Duryodana followed by Sakuni, Karna ·6 Pañoarātram and the circle si princes. Duryodhana is greatly pleased Tiia dimself ari ieels sanctified bota in body and mind. He pays bis respects to Droni and Bhişma, honours his friends ard reseites te greetings of the assembled vassal kirgs. Ee notices that Tirāt2 had not come to attend the sıcziSice. Then tarring to his preceptor Droņa, he requests bin to say that he should offer him as sacrificial fee; on Drona hesitating to mention it, he gives a solemn undertaking that he would offer anytzing that the preceptor might be pleased to ask. Drona then asks that he should give half of his realm to the Pāņda vas. Saktni objects and berates the preceptor saying that it was improper to take advantage of the sitaaticn and deceive, in the name of religion, a papil who had guilelessly put his faith in him. Droņa is indignant and an altercation follows; when matters seeni to take a serious turn, Bhişnia intercedes and tries to pacify both Duryodhana and Droņa. Duryod bana now takes counsel with his friend Karņa and his ancle Śakuni. Śakani the suggests that he should stipulate a condition that if within five nights Droņa brought news of the Pāņda vas, he would willingly give one half of his realm to them. Droņa thinks that it was an impossible condition. At this juncture a herald brings news from Virāta explaining his inability to attend the sacrifice owing to the slaughter of one hundred Kīcakas by an unknown and unarmed person. Bhīşma, shrewdly conjucturing that it must have been the work of Bhīma, requests Drona to accept the condition. Bhīşma then professes his private feud with Virāta and proposes & cattle-raid. All agree and prepare forthwith for the march against Virāta's capital. Act II. The next act opers with a lively bucolic scene. The cowherds in the capital mare celebrating the king's ·The Plot 7 birth-day with music dance and song, wben their festive joys are disturbed by the news of the sudden raid. King Virāta is informed and as he orders his chariot for the fray, he is told that his son Uttara has already gone, riding the king's chariot driven by Brhannalā, to meet the enemy. Soon word is brought that the Kauravas were put to flight and that Uttara had triumphantly returned to the city and was engaged in entering the names of the heroes in the annals of the state. So Brhannalā is summoned to inform the assembly of the particulars of the battle at length, and as Bịhannalā is about to narrate the incidents of the battle, a herald announces the capture of Abhimanyu by the unarmed cook serving in the royal kitchen. Bșhannalā is ordered to bring Abhimanyu to court, and a very lively scene, full of comic irony, ensues, until the whole mystery is clear. ed up by the arrival of Uttara, who rereals that Bịhannlā was no other than Arjuna himself who had worsted the Kauravas in the fight. Virāta is full of gratitude, but feels mach concerned as to the stay of Bșhannalā in his harem and offers his daughter Uttarā to Arjuna for bride, as if to requite his services in repulsing the Kaurava onslaught. Arjuna realises the anxiety of Virāța and saying that he regarded all the ladies in the harem with maternal respect, accepts her as his daughter-in-law. The marriage of Uttarā and Abhimanya is to be celebrated and Uttara is sent to Hastināpura to invite Bbīşma and others to attend the nuptials. Act II. In the third act, the charioteer of Abhimanyu, who has returned to Hastināpura, is narrating to the Kaaravas how Abhimanyu was captured by a foot-soldier with his bare hands. While, therefore, Daryodhana and others ·8 Pañcaratram &re deliberating how to rescue Abhimanya from his captor, Bhīşma and Droņinfer from the details of the capture told by the charioteer of Abhimanyu that it must be Bhīma that had taken Abhimanyu captive. Sakuni, however, doubts all this and tauntingly says that they might as well say that Uttara must have been in reality Arjuna. At this juncture Bhisma's charioteer enters, informing him that his banner was shattered by an arrow of the enemy. He produces the arrot on which Arjuna's name is inscribed. Sakuni is still unconvinced, and Duryodhana, following him, insists upon his actually meeting the Pandava. At this stage Uttara comes from the court of Virāta, bringing from Yudhisthira a message to Bhişma that he invited them all to attend the marriage of Abhimanya and Uttarā. Droņa now approaches Daryodhana and asks for the fulfilment on his part of the promise, as he had satisfied the condition precedent. Duryodhana solemnly gives to the Pāndavas half of his realm as promised, which makes Droņa and others quite happy. The changes introduced by the dramatist and critical remarks That the dramatist has taken unconscionable liberties with the epic story is obvious. By representing that Duryodhana gives to the Pāņdavas & legitimate share of their inheritance, in complete disregard of even the broad and cardinal facts of the Mahābhārata, he excluded every reason for the epic battle, which is the central point of the Mahābhārata; and in doing so, he has gone against what he himself has depicted in the other Mahābhārata plays, unless, of course, the hypothesis of the common authorship of the Mahābhārata grays is altogether discarded.

·Changes and critical remarks 9 Dr. Winternitz observes that Duryodhana's sacrifice is invented, and so also the capture of Abhimanya. It should, however, be remembered that the Ghoşa-Yātrā Parvan contains a description of the Vaişpava Yajñasurpassing even the Rājasūya which Duryodhana performed to celebrate the conquest of the entire earth by Karņa in his bebalf. (Ghoşayātrā Parvan - Section XIII Adhyāyas 256–257 in the Araṇyaka-Parvan). Abhimanya is represented in the play as attending the sacrifice as Krşņa's representative, and as fighting on behalf of the Kauravas in the cattle-raid against his own father. Trigarta's attack is suppressed so that the original reason for Uttara's action is removed. Uttara had gone out in his father's chariot driven by Brbannalā and not by the royal charioteer. This has to be explained as a joke (ii.17). Virāta is celebrating his birth-day, and gets the news of the battle in his own palace. The rougher aspects of the original story are smoothed away, eg. Kicaka's brutality to Draupadi, Bhima's fearsome revenge and the slaughter of the Upakīcakas, are not mentioned; only brief allusion is made to the slaughter without explaining it; similarly the incident of Yudhişthira's bleeding nose is suppressed. Duryodhana's character is presented in a more favourable light; but his generous gesture towards the Pāņdavas loses all grace when after listening to Sakuni he feels he had acted rashly and is only too glad to get out of his agreement by any quibble. Sakuni is his evil genius as in the original, while Karpa, who in the epic is haughty, insolent and hostile is generous and inclined to peace. In the epic the Pāņdayas throw off their disguise three or four days after the cattle raid, but here they do so on the very day, 'Dr. Winternitz observes " Uttara, ·10 Pañcarātram Virāta's son, is not much of a hero in the Mahābhārata either, but it is rather funny when in the play this prince, coming straight from the field of battle occupies himself with recording the exploits of the warrior in the annals of the state, and Virāta on hearing of it, finds that his son was engaged in a commendable occupation." Probably this funny idea is utilised for keeping Uttara away from the assembly, as otherwise he might have given away the whole trath and the ironically comic scene, when Abhimanyu does not recognize his own father, would be excluded. In our play, Virāta is much concerned about the stay of Bşhannalā ( Arjuna in disguise ) for one full year in his harem, and to avoid & scandal offers his daughter Uttarā to Arjuna; in the epic, however, it is Arjuna who argues that he had lived for one whole year with his daughter, though she had attained the age of paberty, under these circumstances, the king himself or other men may, not without reason, entertain suspicion against him or the princess. “Therefore myself who am pure and have my senses under control beg of thee thy daughter for my daughter-in-law : thus do I attest her purity. I am afraid of slander and false accusations. The cattle raid is found in the epic, but the poet has made it motivated as helping Droņa to get news of the Pandavas within the stipulated period. Bhīşma professes his private feud with Virāta, and asks the Kauravas to ase Virāta's absence from the sacrifice as an excuse for the cattle-raid. In the epic they fight at the suggestion of an ally, the king of Trigarta, who on the death of the mighty Kīcaka seeks to wreck vengence on the king of the Matsyas for the sufferings and humiliations inflicted on him by Virāta's generalissimo.

·Changes and critical remarks 11 Thus with the broad story of the great epic - especially the cattle-raid and Abhimanyu's marriage - for his background, the poet has suppressed, modified and ingented a good deal. to make of it quite à pleasing and heroic comedy. There is no female character, for Brhannalā is only Arjuna in disguise, while the cowherd lasses in the interlude to act II only add to the number of the group on the stage. Ganapatiśāstri and Prof. Keith regard the play as a Samavakāra and rightly, though it does not scrupulously answer to the definition given by Dasarūpaka (III. 62-67) in two particulars: it does not concern gods and demons, and is devoid of Singāra. It is said " Its Heroes are to be twelve in number" and curiously enough the play gives & list of twelve characters in the opening stanza. The merit of the poet lies in the skill in telling of a battle indirectly, and in the ironical situations which are a source of great enjoyment to the audience who can see through the disguises. There is an atmosphere of piety and polite courtesy about the play which shows strong Brahmanical tendencies. It is not quite correct to say as Dr. Winternitz does that the grand sacrifice of Duryodhana was clearly only invented by the author in order to describe the pageant of a grand Brahminical ceremony. Here we also find such sentiments as: “ The sacred fire suffers not the common fire beside it as & twice--born man would not have a Śūdra on his side;" (i, 6) or (i, 6) or “ Pouring his whole wealth into the lap of the Brāhmaṇas, a king should leave his bow only to his sons" (1. 24).

·12 Pañcaratram It is not true, as some critics have remarked, that only three Pāņdavas are mentioned; - for all the five are alluded to in (IL 70) where reference is made to the brilliance and beauty of Madri's sons (HIITTI: FAI) and also in II. 54 (AUT 1919 a tea agufall) Dr. Pasalkar thinks that the play was probably written to be staged on the occasion of some sacrifice and hence it naturally glorifies the institution; while Prof. Woolner holds that the play may have been written for some special occasion, on the ending of & feud in some royal family, but as to this we are completely in the dark.

·PANCARĀTRAM ( Translation)
( At the end of the Benediction, enter the stage-manager. )
THE STAGE-MANAGER:- May the primeval Being- ( dark
like ) a cloud, a harbinger upon the earth of
bright and fierce (deeds), who controls Garuda, the
lord of birds, a tough fighter, dreadful and firm on
the battleground, doing excellent deeds, and present
at sacrifices-- protect ( us ). (1)
( Moving about ) I shall make this request to the noble
audience. Ah, what could it be ? Even while I
was intent on making this request, I thought, I
heard a poise; well, I will see.
(Behind the scenes)
Oh, this magnificence of the sacrifice of the king of the
Karus!
THE STAGE-MANAGER: Well, I know.
This is the sacrifice, performed by Duryodhana,
the king of Kurus, where is assembled a number
of kings, together with all the ladies of their
harem, drawn by their regard for the king. (2).
(Ecit)
End of the Prologue.
( Then enter three Brahmins.)
ALL- Oh, the magnificence of this sacrifice of the king of
the Kurus!
FIRST- For here,
the spaces round about look as if covered with
the Kāśa in full bloont, owing to the remnants of

·2 Pañ garātram [1.3— rice eaten by Brahmins; all (these) numerous trees lose the fragrance of their flowers in the smoke from oblations; the tigers are (tame ) like the deer; and the lions in the hills around refrain from killing; so when the king has taken the vows ( of the sacrifice ), the whole world, too, seems to follow suit. (3) SECOND:- You speak well. Agni, the mouth of the best god, is gratified with oblations, and the excellent Brahmins with wealth; the birds, too, together with herds of cattle are content; and so, too, all men; the world, on every side, ringing with praises of the king's virtues, seems now pleased, and through them has surpassed the entire world of gods. (*) THIRD:- Here these nobie Brahmins, waose feet are rubbed by the siik of king's turbans, whose knowledge is vast and praiseworthy, who even in old age take to ever increasing vows, and whose lips are rich in Vedic utterances, now move op feebly through advance of age, as with three legs on account of their staves, putting their worthy hands upon the shoulders of their pupils, like some old elephants.(5) ALL:- Oye lads, indeed you must not set fire ( to the sacri. ficial hall) before the completion of the conclud. ing bath. FIRST:- 0 fie ! they have exhibited their childish pranks; the ground here, with its one sacrificial post alight, appears as having a golden arm; the sacri. ficial fire does not brook the ordinary fire by its side, like a Brahmin a Sūdra; the floor of the $acrifiçal altar, ( althuagh) encompassed ( by fire ), ·-1, 10) English Translation is but slightly scorched, on account of the green Kus'a grass ( strewn over it), while the smoke enters the hall of sacrifice like an elephant (entering) a blooming lotus-pond. ( 6 ) SECOND:- It is so. The frightened Brahmins are removing the sacred fire for fear of ordinary fire, as & kinsman is removed from contact with his kin in & family which has lapsed from the laws of morality. (7) THIRD:- This cart, filled with ghee ( pots), though sprinkled over with water, is yet burning owing to the small remnant of, ghee, as a woman whose child is dead, though wetted with tears, yet, burns for love of that child. (8). FIRST;- Tis so. This fire, leaping up to burn the sacrificial cart of the world's sovereign lord, where the Kusa grass is dry, burns gradually low owing to the green turf on the spot; there, blown about by the wind, and enveloped in flames, it gradually reaches the wheel, and circling round the rim of that wheel, looks like ( the round disk of ) the Sun (9) SECOND:- Look at this other sight. From the bottom of an anthill, five serpents, frightened by fire, have together dashed out of the holes, all at once, like the five senses, from the body of one who has just died. ( 10 ) THIRD:- See this other sight. Like the breath of life from a body, birds have flown out from the bollows of (yonder) tree, which ·Pencaratram [1.11 is consumed by the sacrificial fire blown about by the breeze. (11) FIRST: So it is. Through one dried-up tree, the whole forest with its trees in bloom, is ruined like & family, through one wicked member. (12) After feasting upon the forest with its trees, shrubs and thickets, as on food, to its heart's content, the fire has run along the Kus'a grass down to the river, as if to rinse its mouth. (13) SECOND:- Here this very fire has gone from tree to tree along the strewn Kus'& grass and barks; the scorched fruit of the plantain tree falls down, as if through ripeness; and that palm tree in front, with its great circle of honey. combs, burnt for long at its roots, falls down like Rudra's axe (14) THIRD:- Ah, the divine fire now dies down like a good man's wrath. The strength of fire is lost through lack of fuel, like the liberality of a noble person through loss of fortune. (15) FIRST:-The fire is now eating up the ladle, the bowls, the fire sticks and grass, as a man, who loses his all through vice, eats op his minor belongings. (16) SECOND:- This Palās a tree on the river, with overhanging branches, with its leafy hand dipped by the breeze, seems to offer libations of water to the trees that lost their lives in the forest fire. (17) THIRD:- So come along; let us, too, perform ablutions. THE OTHER TWC:- Quite rightor $ ·-1. 20) English Translation 5 (Sipping water) FIRST:- Ah, here comes the noble Duryodhana, the king of the Kurus, preceded by Bhīşma and Droņa, and followed by the whole circle of (vassal) kings. And these citizens, in truth, are urging good-will towards the Pāņdavas, as in tbe course of their conversation, they talk sweetly thas-" Feed with sacrifice, and conquer the earth with thy valoar; give ap anger and be kindly to thy own kinsmen." (18) So come along; we, too, shall do honour to the Kuru king. THE OTHER TWO:- Very good. ALL:- Victory, to your honour ! ( Exeunt omnes ) End of Viskambha. ( Then enter Bhişma and Droņa.) DRONA:- Daryodhana has, in truth, favoured me in performing these religious rites. For leaving kinsmen and passing by friends, & papil's fault is laid at the door of the teacher; for neither father nor mother is to blame, if they hand over their child to & preceptor at a very tender age. ( 19 ). BHIŞMA:- This Duryodhana, attaining greatness by winning wealth,. has gulped down infamy through his love for strife; but now after a long time, devoting to religious rites, and thus becoming & receptacle of good deeds, he shines in a (new) guise. ( 20 ) ( Then enter Duryodhana, Karna and Śakuni. ) DURYODHANA:- My inner Self is full of faith; my elders are contented; the world has confidence in me; my ·6 Pañicarātram [ 1. 21- virtues are established, and my imfamy ended. It is said, " The dead reich heaven"; but that is false; heaven is not beyond as in this life, but is with as here on earth with its manifold fruit. (21) KARNA:-Son of Gāndbārī, you have acted but jusly in giving away possessions which were justly earned. For, the wealth of warriors depends прon their arrows; one who hoards his wealth for his son is deceived, A king should pour all his wealth into the lap of a priest, and bequeath only his bow to his son. (22) ŚAKUNI:-The king of the Angas, whose sins are washed away by his ablution in the Ganges, speaks well. KARNA:-Ikştāku, Šaryāti, Yayāti, Rāma, Māndhātſ, Nābhāga, Nřga and Ambarīşa, all these had their treasures and their domains; but they live through their sacrifices, albeit, their bodies have perished. ( 23 ) ALL:- Son of Gāndhārī, we congratulate you upon the con. clasion of the sacrifice. DURYODHANA:- I am beholden unto you. My teacher, I salute you. DRONA:- Come, come my son; this is not the proper order. DURYODHANA:- Then which is the proper order ? DRONA:- Does not your honour see? First salute this divinity in human form; for I do not consider it proper form to ignore Bhişma in your salutations. ( 24 ) BHIŞMA:- You should not speak thus. I am in many ways your inferior. For, I am born of mother, you, self-born; I live by (the use of) weapons, you by.forgiveness, you ·– 1.] English Translation ? are & Brabmin, and I belong to a warrior's houses you are the preceptor, while I am ( at best) your preeminent pupil. ( 25 ) DRONA- Ah, will the high-souled hesitate to disparage themselves ? Well, son, salute me. DURYODHANA:- Preceptor, I salute you. DRONA:- Come, my son. May you thus exert yourself in many a ritual bath. DURYODHANA:- I am favoured. Grandpa, I salute you. BHİŞMA:- Come come, my grandson. May your spirit be ever at peace. DURYODHANA:- I am favoured. Uncle, I salate you. SAKUNI:- Child, having in a like manner performed all kinds of sacrifices, where ample gifts are made, mayest thou bring captive all kings in the Rājasúya sacrifice, even like Jarāsandha. (26) DROYA:- How even in his blessings Sakuni urges him to action ! How fond of strife is this young warrior! DURYODHANA:- Friend Karpa, at the end of salutations to elders, let us in turn exchange friendly confidences. KARNA:- O Son of Gāndhārī, your limbs have grown thin through the rows of sacrifice; would you bear the pressure of my embrace? Well, then I will embrace. I will not however, hurt your mind by not addressing it with kindly words; but I am inspired with awe by your words, which are solemn like those of & royal sage.

·& Pañcarātram (1. DRONA:- Son Duryodhana, here is Bhīşmaka, the dear friend of Indra, come to greet you. DURYODHANA:- The noble one is welcome. I salute you. BAİŞMA:- Duryodhana, my grandson, here is Bhūris'ravā, the bolt to guard the southern country, offering you his greetings. DUBYODHANA:- You are welcome, noble sir. DRONA:- Son Duryodhana, Vāsubhadra has sent Abhimanyu to greet your sacrifice, and he is now honouring you. ŠAKUNI:-Child Duryodhana, here is Sahadera, the son of Jarāsand ha, paying his respects to you. DURYODRANA:- Come, come, child, may you be as valiant as your father. ALL:- This whole circle of kings honours you. DURYODHANA:- I feel favoured. Ah, how is it that Virāta is not there, when all other kings have assembled ? SAK UNI:- I have sent an envoy to him. I think he is on the way. DURYODHANA:- My preceptor, my spiritual guide, and my teacher of the bow, please to accept a teacher's fee. DRONA-"Fee" you say. Well, well, I have & request to prefer. DURYODHANA:- How shall & teacher prefer a request ? BHIŞMA:- Oh, where is the need ? Since he has drunk the Soma duly offered (by the prince) at such an early age; he enjoys the protection of the sovereign's parasol, and has won renown; what could be the object, what fruit, what excellence, in which a brahmin, the teacher of the warrior caste, could be deficient? ( 28 ) ·-1.30] English Translation 9 DURYODHANA:- Your honour should command what you desire. What may I do? DRONA:- Son Duryodhana, well, I will tell you. DURYODHANA:- Then why should you hesitate ? I am dearer to you than life and have been instructed by you; I am renowned among brave men and have undertaken adventares. Say freely what you desire, what I can give. I hold the mace in my hand, you will hold everything in the world. ( 29 ) DRONA:- Son, I will speak presently; but the flow of tears troubles me. ALL:- How even the preceptor is moved to tears ! BEIŞMA:- Duryodhana, my grandson, your labours are in vain. DURYODHANA: Who is here ? (entering) HERALD:- Victory to his Majesty! DURYODHANA:- Bring water. HERALD:- As his Majesty commands. ( Goes out and enters.) Victory to his Majesty ! Here is water. DURYODHANA:- Bring. ( Taking the pitcher ) My preeptor, will you please wash your face, which has be come unclean by falling tears? DORNA:- Well, well. Let the fulfilment of my desire itself serve as water to wash the face with, DURYODHANA:- Alack ! If remembering my former wickedness, you feel that I will decline to grant (your request ), stretch forth you hand, hardened by hundreds of ( blades of) Sara grass; this water is the most effective assurance of gifts. ( 30 ) ·10 Pañícaratram [ 1.31– DRONA:- Oh, good. I feel assured in my heart. Son, listen. Share your inheritance with the Pandavas, who are Wandering houseless somewhere, and whose whereabouts are unknown after the lapse of twelve years; this is what I beg of you, this is what I claim as sacrificial fee. ( 31 ) ŠAETNI:- (troubled) Nay, not so. Is it proper to deceive in the name of religion, taking advantage of something which has no relevance, a popil who has offered ( to give ) and pat faith in you as his spiritual guide ? ( 32 ) DRONA:- How say you, "deceive in the name of religion" ? Don't, Ob, Sakuni, puffed up through your sovereignty over the Gāndhāra country, don't judge the whole world as diskonourable, because you are so. Oh, fie ! To say, "Bestow unto your cousins their father's domain" is forsooth deceit ! Say which is better-to give them what they ask, or to leave them to seize it by force ? ( 33 ) ALL: How by force? BHİŞMA:- Duryodhana, my grandson, you have just had the concluding bath of the sacrifice. Don't listen to Sakani, who though a friend in words, is in truth an enemy. See, grandson, that the Pāņda yas, with the daughter of king Drupada, wander over the earth with bodies gray with the dust of the forest, and that you are averse to them, and they averse to you-all this is (the outcome of ) the harsh arrogance of Sakuni. (34) DURYODHANA:-'Well, but I would, O my preceptor, ask this.

·-1.38] English Translation 11. DRONA:- Speak, my son. DURYODHANA:-- Why did they, who are capable of using force, restrain their anger, when formerly their kingdom was wrested from them and their pride challenged in the (open) court ? (35) DRONA.-- Well, in this matter you better ask Yudhişthira, who, in his fondness for gambling, was swindled by. & pretence of fair play; who forbade Bhīma while he was about to lift up & pillar of the assembly hall; had hall; had that been hurled on but one (person ), Sakuni would not scold us now. (36) BHÍSMA:- While we started with one thing, quite a different thing has befallen. O preceptor, our present object is more important, and not this quarrel. DRONA:- Let there be no cringing: I would rather have a quarrel. BHIŞMA:- Let the preceptor forbear; see my grandson, they who are weak, miserable and homeless, seek conciliation with thee and are not. haughty; thou art the eldest and they have affection for thee; say, woulds't thou take them into the household, or shall they live with the beasts of the forest ? ( 37). ŚAKUNI:- Let them live (with the beasts of the forest). KARNA:- O preceptor, forbear. Duryodhana, indeed, gets wild with words of advice, if they are unpalatable; does not like the praise of excellence in better men. All this is ended; please to guard the interest of your pupils, for even like an elephant with numerous faults, he is to be won over with softness alone. (38) ·12 Pancarātram [1.39– DRONA:- Child Karna, Brahminhood is spirited. You have reminded me in time. Well, I will follow your hamour. Son Duryodhana, do you recognise me to be your master ? BHIŞMA:- Now he has begun in the right way. For conciliation is, in truth, the medicine for the undisciplined. DURYODHANA:- Not only mine, you are indeed the master of my house. DRONA:- This, indeed, becomes you. Well, then, son, if I deceive yon, the fault will not be yours; and if I trouble you, that would indeed be your gain. For, mutual dissensions in high families are com. posed by the words of those who know the law. (39) DURYODHANA:- Well then, I wish to take counsel. DRONA:- With whom would you take counsel, my son ? With Bhīşına, Karņa, Krpa, or Jayadrathe, the king of Sindhu, or the son of Droņa, or Vidura, or your father or mother ? Speak, my son, with whom ? ( 40 ) DURYODHANA:- No no, with my uncle. DRONA:- What Makuni? Alas! Then mine is a lost cause, DURYODHANA:- Uncle, please to come here. Friend Karna, come along DROŅA. Well, I will do this. King of Gāndhāra, my child, come here, please, KAKUNI:- Here I am. DRONA:- My child, old age is prone to anger; forgive my childish rashness, An embrace will atone for my harsh words. ( 41 ) ·-1.44] English Translation 13 BHĪŞMA:-( to himself) Here is this preceptor, who out of love for his pupil, is beseeching Sakuni; and ( yet ) thus propitiated, he does not give up his crooked nature. (42) ŚAKUNI:- ( to himself ) How cunning is the preceptor, that through greed to accomplish his object, he conci. liates me! ( All move about, and sit ) DURYODHANA:- Uncle, what is your decision regarding the Pāņdavas, a half of the kingdom ? ŚAKUNI:- My decision is that it should not be restored. DURYODHANA:- Uncle should rather say, “It should be rostored. ŚAKUNI:- If the kingdom is to be restored, why should you consult as ? You may give all. DURYODHANA.- My friend, king of the Argas, you dont't say anythig now. KARNA:- What shall I say now? I should not condemn the good feeling of brotherliness, the fruit of which Rāma enjoyed, and whieh Rāms himself entertained. You alone are to decide what is proper and what is improper; we are your allies in times of strife. ( 43 ) DURYODHANA:- Uncle, think of some wretched country, strongly hostile, and unfit for habitation. The Pāņdavas shall live there. SAKUNI:- Alas, I will say, there is not any such place; who could be stronger than Arjuna ? and crops will grow even in salty soil, where king Yudhişthira rules. ( 44 ) DURYODHANA;- So how, ·14 Pancarātram [1.45— I have already poured water in the hand of my preceptor, which, as I have learnt from my elders, is binding on this earth. So let it be an impolitic act, or deceit, whatever it may be; O king, I wish to show that that water was not offered in vain.(45) SAKUNI— So you desire to escape the imputation of falsehood, is it not? DURYODHANA:- That is so. ŠAKUNI:- In that case come here. ( Advancing) O preceptor, the honoured king of the Kurus makes this request to you. DRONA:- Child, king of Gāndhāra, say. BAKUNI:- If you bring news of the Pāņdavas within five nights, he will give half of the kingdom. So it rests with you to bring it. DRONA: How could I bring them within five nights, when they could not be found for twelve years by you, who were intent to deceive them ? Better say in plain words that you would not give. (46) BHIŞMA: Duryodhana, my grandson, duty must be performed without trickery. I, too, am pleased with this demand (of the preceptor). See, my grandson, whether after a year or after hundred years, you must share with the Pāņdavas; therefore, - make good your promise, o warrior; the word of & Kuru is never falsified. (47) DURYODHANA:- This is my decision. DRONA:-( to himself) Through keenness to accomplish my purpose, my ambition takes the form of Hanumat, who crossed the seà and brought tiding of the lost Sitām --(48) ·-1.51] English Translation 15 So, whence could we get news about the Pāņdavas ? (entering) A GUARD:- Victory to your Majesty. A messenger hos arrived from the city of Virāța. ALL:- Usher him quickly. GUARD:- As you command. (entering) VESSENGER:- Victory to your Majesty, ALL:- Is the king of Virāta come ? MESSENGER:- He is stricken with grief and not coming. ALL:- What is his grief? MESSENGER:- Listen, your Majesty. The hundred Kicaka brothers, who were his kinsmen and always close to him, have been killed during the night by some unknown person with his hands; for the bodies appear to have been done to death without Weapons. (49) ALL:- How, death without weapons ? BHIŞMA:- Ah, how without weapons ? Preceptor, agree to the five nights. DRONA:-( Aside ) why? BHIŞMA:- It is clearly the doing of Bhimasena the puissantarmed. His anger against these hundred brothers has burst against another hundred. (50) DRONA:- How do you know? BHIŞMA:- O learned sir, do not the old bulls recognise the youthful pranks or the marks of the horns of calves, gambolling on river banks ? (51) ·Pañcarātram [1, 52- DRONA:- Ah, bulls indeed! Oh, my work is done! ( aloud) Son Daryodhana, let there be those five nights. DURYODHANA:- All right, let there be the five nights. DRONA:- Ye kings, come to attend the sacrifice, harken, harken ye kings. Here is his honour Duryodhana, the Kura king-nay, nay-he and his uncle, would give half the kingdom, if news of the Pāņdavas is brought. Is it not so, son ? DURYODHANA:- You are right. DRONA:- Think on it twice or thrice. SAKUNI:- I will know in good time. DRONA:- So you agree, Bbīşma. BAİŞMA:-( To himself) Since the joy of the preceptor, breaking through his firmness, becomes too plain, I am afraid, he may be cheated by Duryodhana, who is now deceived. (52) (Aloud) Duryodhana, my grandson, I (already ) bear a secret grudge against Virāța; moreover he did not come to attend your sacrifice. Let us, therefore, seize his cattle. Oh, fair-minded Brahmin, challenged by the sound of chariots, the Pāņdavas will be enraged; they are possessed of gratitude; (thus ) what we desire rests upon the cattle-raid.

DURYODHANA:- With these very chariots, let us at once seize his ·- ii] English Translation 17 cattle; the mace, laid at rest during the sacrifice shall come to my hand again. ( 54 ) DRONA:- So let my men bring me my chariot. ŚAKUNI:- Bring my elephant. KARNA:- Bring my chariot here, yoked with steeds that are eager for the onslaught. BHIŞMA:- My mind is impatient to go to the Virāta City; bring quick my bow. ALL:- Leave your bow, and stay just here; we will carry out your commands. ( 55 ) DRONA - Son Duryodhana, I desire to see your valoar in the battle. DURYODHANA:- As you please. DRONA:-King of Gāndhāra, my son, in this cattle-raid let your chariot take precedence.

OLD COVEERD:- Hi, hi, here are arrows flying. Come, boys and girls, enter your huts quick. ALL:- As uncle commands. ( Exeunt ) OLD COWHERD:- Ha, ha, stop, stop; strike, strike ! Seize them, seize them. We will report this matter to the great king Virāta. ( Exit ) End of the introductory scene. ( Then enter a soldier. ) SOLDIER:- Ho, there, tell the great king Virāta; for cows are being lifted by the sons of Dhrtarāştra, who conceal their valour by doing the work of thieves. There the herd of cattle is extremely distressed, frightened by painful bellowings, with calyes scampering and herds of kine in distress, while the bulls show faces frightened at the sight. (1) ( Behind the scenes ) What? By the sons of Dhrtarāştra ? SOLDIER:- Yes, noble sir.

·20 Pancarātram [ii, 2- (Entering) A CHAMBERLAIN:- This is just like men who bear malice even to their brothers, With bows strung, with guards for wrists and fingers, clad in mails, they ride in well-equipped chariots, haughty with valour, ready for fight, well-versed in the use of missiles, and they avenge on cows their enmity towards the king. (2) Jayasena, the great king, who is engaged in worshipping the stars presiding at his birth, will be certainly angered at an untimely announcement. So I will tell him at the end of the rite of' wishing him an auspicious day. SOL HR:- Noble sir, but this is an argent matter; it must be announced at once. CHAMBERLAIN:- I will inform ( him ). ( Then enter king. ) Oh shame! My cows are being stolen, their young calves scattered round in distress through fear of the sound of the chariots! And all the while my arm, with its rounded shoulder, its moving bracelets, its wet sandal-paste is shame. lesssly feasting upon choice delicacies. ( 3 ) Jayasena ! Jayasena! (Entering ) SOLDIER:- Victory, victory to the great king! KING:- Enough of that title "great king ". My martial spirit is broken. Give me the details of the fray. SOLDIER:- Unpleasant matters are not worth describing in detail, But this is the sum and substance of it.

·ii. 6] English Translation 21 On the limbs of the cows which are of one hue with the dust ( raised ) by the chariots, strips of Various colours are seen where the blows of the lash have fallen. (4) KING:- In that case, swiftly bring me my bow; make ready my chariot, and let him, who is devoted to me, follow me of his own free will. A struggle for cows in the van of battle is not fruitless; for even death would be glory; but if we can release (them) that would win as merit. ( 5 ) SOLDIER:- As the great king commands. ( Exit) KING:- Why should Daryodhana bear enmity to me? Ah ! Because I did not attend the sacrifice ! How could I attend ? We were in great sorrow over the annihi. lation of the Kīcakas. Or perhaps it is because have secret sympathy towards the Pāndavas. In any case, I must fight. Now Bhagawan knows Duryodhana's character owing to his having lived in Hastinapura. Or Although he would not reveal to me the defects of Daryodhana, yet & man with a purpose would ask without wearying, because of his need. (6) Who is there?

Great elephants are being harnessed, and the best horses arrayed in armour; the chariots are yoked, and warriors ready with arms. An unwonted fear touches my heart at the sight of this activity.

Kinship, indeed, troubles the hearts of the wise men in this world; for, in truth, when they, who love quarrel, do wrong, we feel we, too, have done wrong ourselves. (9) KING:- Holy sire, what are you thinking about ? BHAGAWĀN:- Oh, nothing. I am sorry for them. KING:- From today, they will lie low. Even if Yudhisthira, who has the power, forgives them, I shall not. BHAGAWĀN:-( To himself) Now every thing is laudable today-couch of leaves on the bare grond, the loss of kingdom, the ·-ii. 13 ] English Translation 23 indignity to Draupadi and living as dependants; for my forgiveness is admitted.

And not by their arrows, but by their standards alone, with their pennons flying with the joltings of the chariots, we are broken. ( 11 ) KING:-( Rising - with folded hands ) What ? Has the honoured Bbīşma also come ? BHAGAWĀN:- Good. Though insulted, he has not transgressed the rules of decorum. ( To himself ) Oh, Why has this eminent elder of the Kurus come?

I shall satisfy him with my arrows: but to defeat him is beyond my dreams. (13) ·24 Pancarätram ( ii. 14- CHARIOTEER. As the long-lived one commands. Longlived sir, the chariot which you used to ride to break the army of your foemen is taken away by Uttara to show to the world his skill with & chariot. (14) KING:- How? Has the prince gone out ? BHAGAWAN:- O king, call back the prince, call him back. He does not heed to the good or evil, but is keen on battle, as he is young; and there is no fire of battle that does not burn when it is close. The sons of Dhịtarāstra will not leave alone anything. Not indeed out of any disparagement do I speak to you of the dangers of battle. (15) KING:- Then, get ready another chariot at once. CHARIOTEER:- As the long-lived one commands. KING:- Or rather come here for a moment. CHARIOTEER:- Here I am, long-lived sir. KING:- Now how was it that you did not drive the prince's chariot ? Were you ordered by him? Are you not the Royal charioteer? ( 16 ) OHARIOTEER:- Be pleased, long-live one. After keeping the chariot in readiness, I did attend upon him according to my duty of charioteer. But the prince, be it for a jest, or because she possessed the skill in driving- set me aside and appointed Bșhannalā as his driver. (17) BHAGAWĀN:- King, do not be alarmed.

(Excit) (Entering ) A SOLDIER:- The prince's chariot is smashed. KING:- What do you mean ? Smashed ? SOLDIER:- Deign to hear me, Great king. The horses' path was blocked by numerous foes, skilled in battle, and the chariot, making for a thicket, was broken in front of the cemeteryground. ( 19 ) BHAGAWĀN:-( To himself ) Ah, that is where the Gāņdīv& (was hidden ). ( Aloud ). O king, If the car faces the cemetery-ground that is some omen ( of things to come :- the ground whereon the sons of Dbſtarāstra stand, will become a cemetery. (20) KING:~ Reyered sire, such complaisant words out of season create anger. BHAGAWAN- Do not be angry; I have never before told & lie. KING:- Well, that is so. Go, and bring more news. SOLDIER:- As the Great king commands. (Exit) KING: What sound is this, started in an instant, that seems to shake the earth all of a sudden, like the winding stream of a river ? ( 21 ) Find out, what that sound is.

·26 Pancaratram (ii, 21– (Entering) A SOLDIER:- To the Great king, Victory! Resting his horses for a while, after reaching the cemetery-ground, the prince- BHAGAWAN:- May he not falsify my words. SOLDIER:- The dark-blue elephants he turned brown by the fall of arrows; there is not a horse, nor a Warrior, who does not bear a hundred arrows. The best chariots are stopped with arrows, ridden with arrows all round. The roads are strewn with arrows; and the bow pours forth a dread flow of darts. (22) BHAGAVĀN:-( To himself) This is due to that inexhaustible quiver whereby in the Khāņda va forest, as many arrows were shot as were the streams of rain showered by Indra. ( 23 ) EING:- And what is the news about our enemy now? SOLDIER. I have not seen that for myself, but the scouts say, Drona recognises the sound of the bow and retires : Bhīşma sees an arrow strike his standard, and crying "Enough " strikes no more. Karna is wounded by the darts, and the other kings are wondering what it could be. But in spite of the danger there is only one, who, owing to his youth, does not reck of it, and this is Abhimanya. ( 24 ) BHAGAWAN:- How! Has Abhimanya come? O king, if Abhimanyu, Subhadra's son, the fiery lustre of both the houses, is fighting, send another charioteer-fór Bệhannalā is powerless against him. (25) ·-ii. 28 ] English Translation 27 KING:- Nay, do not say so. Having turned back Bhīşma whose armour was not pierced by even Paraśurāma's shafts, and Droņa, whose weapons are his spells, and Karna, Jayadratha and all those other kings, would he not assail Abhimanyu with his shafts, being afraid of his father's reputation ? Or even if he comes in close contact with him, he will surely protect youth like his own, befitting their friendship. (26) SOLDIER:- This chariot of the prince, when checked, whirls about; and when freed, rans on; when close it does not charge, nor does any harm : drawing near (the other car ), it quickly slips away; his chariot seems to be giving lessons in the art of driving. (27) KING:- Go, bring more news. SOLDIER:– As the Great king commands. ( Goes out and re-enters ). Victory to the Great king ! Victory to the king of Virāta ! I have good news for the Great king. The cattle-raid is thwarted. The sons of Dhịtarāştra have retired. BHAGAWAN:- Fortune bless you. KING:- No, not so. This is your success. But where is the prince now? BOLDIER:--The prince is putting on record the exploits of warriors, whose heroism was witnessed by him. KING:- Ah, this prince is engaged in a commendable task indeed ! For, honour done in time to & hero, who has been wounded in some worthy adventure, assuredly removes his sufferings. ( 28 ) ·48 Pancarātram [ 11. 28. And where is Bịhannalā ? SOLDIER:-- She has gone into the ladies' quarters to tell the good news. KING:- Call Bșhannalā. SOLDIER.-- As the Great king commands. ( Exit) (Then enter Byhannala.) BƏHANNALĀ:-- ( Looking thoughtfully) The Gāndiva bow caused me trouble for a little while in stringing it; my grip was not well-adap ted and firm in handling arrows; the dexterity in the use of the arrow-gaards was lost; nor was there any skill in taking the proper pose; I had lost my vigour through a woman's guise, but soon through (former ) knowledge, I became myself again. ( 29 ) For I palled my bow in this guise, feeling shy in the midst of the kings; but the movements (of. the hostile army ) took place amid a rain of arrows, and the dust was quickly laid being stained ( with blood ). ( 30 ) Ah, though I have won back the cows and brought victory to the king, that victory gives me no joy; for I could not take Daḥśāsana captive in the brow of battle, and bind him and enter the city of Virāta this very day. ( 31 ) I feel a bit ashamed to see the king with this ornament presented to me by Uttarā, as & token of her pleasure. So I would see the Lord of Virāta. ( Moves about and looking ) O, here is the poble Yudhisthirst ·ii. 35 ] English Translation 29 young and yet attached to the best penance grove, a Lord of men, yet leads & Brahmin's life; though he has lost his kingdom, his glory is increased; bearing the triple staff of a1 escetic, he does not carry the sceptre of justice. (32) ( Advancing ) Holy sire, I salute you. BHAGAWAN:- Blessings on yon. BRHANNALĀ:- Victory to my Lord ! KING:- Form avails not, nor family, it is deeds that shine in high and low alike; for this very form which was formerly despised has once again become worthy of honour. ( 33 ) Bșhannalā, although you are tired, I shall trouble you again. Give me the details of the battle. BĶHANNALĀ:- Listen, my Lord. KING: It is a vigorous action. Speak Sanskrit. BĶHANNALĪ:- Listen, Great king. ( entering ) A SOLDIER:- Victory to the Great king ! KING:- Your joy seems unusual : tell me what makes you so impatient. SOLDIER:- An incredibly good thing has befallen. Subhadrā's son is taken captive. ( 34 ) BŞHANNALĀ:- How ! Taken captive ? ( To herself) I weighed the strengh of our armed men, to-day, and counted their number; and I saw him; who could it be, now that the Kīcakas are slain ? ( 35). BHAGAWĀN:- Bphannalā, what is it? BRHANNALĀ:- Holy sir, ·30 Patcaratram [ii, 36 I cannot guess who defeats him. But he is strong and well-trained; or he may suffer (such ) indignity through the misfortunes of his sires. ( 36 ) KING:- How was he taken ? SOLDIBR:- He fearlessly approached the chariot and hauled him out with his arms. KING:- Who? SOLDIER:- He, whom the king has appointed in the kitchen. ( 37 ) BRHANNALĀ.- ( aside ) He was embraced by the noble Bhima and not captured. I was satisfied at mere sight of him from a distance; but he, acting more openly, enjoyed a son's affection. ( 38 ) KING:-well, let Abhimanyu be received with due honour and brought into our presence. BHAGAWĀN- O king, people may think that this honouring of Abhimanyu is due to fear of his protectors-the Vrşpis and the Pāņdavas. It would, therefore, be proper to treat him with disrespect. KING:- The son of Yådavī does not deserve to be slighted. For, he is the son of Yudhisthira; is of the same age as our son; we are bound by family ties to Drupada, and thus he is our grandson. He may be soon a son-in-law as well, for we are the father of a maiden. He would be deserving of honour even as a guest; for the Pāņdavas are dear to us for their greatness. (39) BHAGAWAN:- Yes, that is so. But we must guard against (people's ) censure. KING:- Well, who will introduce him?

·ii. 43] English Translation 31 BHAGAWĀN:- Brhannalā will introduce him. KING:-Bșhannalā, do you lead Abhimanyu into our presence. BĶHANNALĀ:- As the Great king commands. (To himself) So I have been assigned a daty which for a long time I desired. BHAGAWĀN:- (To himself) So now, let him, this day, see his son and embrace him closely if they are alone together; and let bis joy freely melt in tears; for in my presence, he would be shy about his son. ( 10 ) KING:- Think of the (brave) deeds of the prince. Kings like Bhīşma are defeated. Subhadrā's son is taken captive; Uttara has, to put in briefly, practi. cally conquered the whole earth today. ( 41 ) ( Then enter Bhimasena. ) BHIMARENA- When the house of lac was set on fire, I carried away my brothers and my mother clinging to my arms; but having lifted out just one (person ), the young son of Subhadrā-from the chariot, I feel the exertion to be equal to that on the first occasion. (42) This way, this way, Prince. ( Then enter Abhimanyu. ) ABHIMANYU:- Ah, who could this be? He has & broad chest, and a waist that looks graceful owing to its thinness. His shoulders are firm and raised, his thigbs are massive and his hips are lean. Holding me with one arm, he brought me here, and though he is superior to me in strength, yet he did me no barm: (43) ·92 Pancaratram [ii. 43-- BĶHANNALĀ:- This way, this way, prince. ABHIMANYU:- Aye, who is this other, decked out in lady's ornaments that suit him ill, like an elephant bull adorned with the trappings of a she-elephant ? Looking small in this garb, bat great by his vigour, he looks like Siva assuming the disguise of Umā. ( 44 ) BRHANNALĀ:-( Aside ) What has the noble one done now, bringing him here? Being defeated, he stands disgraced in his first fight; and Subhadrā, parted from her darling son, will be in a lamentable plight. Moreover, Krşņa will be angry that he is vanquished. Well, what need of many words: you have abused the strength of your arms. ( 45 ) BHIMASENA:- Arjuna! BRHANNALĀ:— Yes, yes, he is Arjuna's son. BHIMASENA:-( Aside ) I know the evil consequences of his capture; but who would allow his son to be in the hands of his foes ? But I brought him, thinking that, Draupadī, who is so fond of children, but is sank in misery, might see him, ( which would be such a desirable contingency). ( 46 ) BRHANNALĀ:-( Aside ) Noble brother, I have great longing to talk to him ! Make him speak. BHIMASENA:- All right; Abhimanyu ! ABHIMANYU:- Abhimanyu " indeed! BHIMASENA:- He is angry with me. Do you yourself speak anto him. BRHANNALĀ:- Abhimanyu !

·-ii. 51] English Translation 33 ABHIMANYU:-How now! Am I Abhimanya (to you) ? Oh, Will the low-caste address the scions of the Warrior-caste by their names ? Is this the etiquette here? Or, am I being insulted owing to my capture ? (47) BRHANNALA:- Abhimanyu, is your mother well ? ABHIYANYU:- How, you speak of my mother! Are you my Dharmarāja, or Bhīma or Arjans that you speak to me with the authority of a father and make inquiries about the ladies in my house ? ( 48 ) BRHANNALI:- Abhimanyu, Keśava, Deyaki's son, is he also well? ABHIMANYU:- How, you call even that revered person by name! Yes, yes, he must be well to be your kinsman, (Both look at each other.) ABHIMANYU:-How, you laugh at me in scorn ? BĶHANNALĀ:- No, not at all. With Arjuna for father, and Janārdana for uncle, is it proper for a young man, trained in arms, to be defeated in battle? (19) ABHIMANYU- I will not praise myself; for it ill becomes our family. But look at the darts in the bodies of ) the slain. You will find no other name (inscribed on them). (50) BRHANNALĀ:-( To herself) The prince speaks the truth. There is none in the whole army of chariots, horses, fierce elephants and infantry, who was not wounded by this skilful archer. I, too, would have been hit, had I not turned aside my chariot (51) ·34 B Pañcarätram [ii, 51– (Aloud) That is mere bravado. Why were you taken by a foot-soldier ? ABHIMANYU. Unarmed he advanced to me, and so I was taken prisoner. Who would strike a man who has laid down his arms, if he bears in mide that Arjuna is his father? (52) BHIMASENA:- Blessed, indeed, is Arjuna who himself has heard of the laudable prowess of both father and son in battle. ( 53 ) KING:- Bring Abhimanyu quickly. BREANNALĀ.- This way, this way, prince. Here is the Great king-advance, prince. ABHIMANYU:- Ab! Whose king ? BĶHANNALĀ:- No, no, no. He is sitting with a Brāhmaṇa. ABHIMANYU:- With a Brāhmaṇa. Holy sire, I salute you. BHAGAWĀN:- Come, come, child. Gallantry, courage, modesty, compassion for his own people, sweetness, and victory in archery and heroisin in battle-may you attain these qualities combined in one-your father; and of the remaining four, may you attain such as you like. (54) ABHIMANYU:- I am favoured. KING:- Come, come, my son. Why do you not greet me ? Oh! How conceited is this young warrior ! Well, I will remove his conceit. Now, who took him prisoner? BHIMASENA:-1, Great king. ABHIMANYU:- Say, "You did it unarmed ". BHIMASEN &:- Heaven forbid!

·- ii. 55 ] English Translation 35 My two arms, soft with their rounded shoulders, are my natural weapon. With them I fight; weaklings use the bow. ( 55 ) ABHIYANYT:- O, say not so. Are you my middle uncle, whose arm is a whole division of an army, whose prowess is artless ? These words become him.( 56 ) BHAGAWAN:- Son, who is this middle one ? ABHIWANYC:- Listen. Or, I will not insult a Brahmin with my answer; it would be better, if someone else would speak. KING:- Very well, answer me. Who is this middle one, my son ? ABHIMANYU:- Listen. Making a halter for Jarāsandha, with his arm round his neck, and doing that insufferable act, he balked Krsna of the pleasure. ( 57 ) KING:- Your abuse does not roase my anger; rather your anger delights me. Shall I, indeed, not offend if I say;" How does he stand in my presence ? Off with him ?” ( 58 ) ABHIMANYU:- If you would favour me, give my feet the treatment that is befitting my captivity. I was carried here in arms, so in his arms shall Bhīma carry me hence. ( 59 ) ( Then enter Uttara. ) UTTARA:- False praise by those who are devoted to lying gives me pain. When they compliment me on this battle, I assent in words, but at heart I am ashamed. (60) ·36 Paticarātram [ii. 60 ( Approaching ) Revered sir, I salute you. BHAGAWAN:- Blessings on you. UTTARA: -Father, I salute yon. KING:- Come, child, come; may you live long ! Son, have you honoured the warriors who did their duty in battle ? UTTARA:- Yes, I have honoured them. Let us now honour one who is most deserving of honour. KING:- Son, who? UTTARA:- The noble Dhanaõjaya. KING:- What? Dhananjaya ? UTTARA:-Yes, that is so. This noble ( hero ) took his bow from the cemetery, and his two quivers with their inexhaustible shafts, and worsted Bhisma and other kings and protected as. (61) BĘEANNALĀ:- Be gracious, Great king. He is so confused by reason of his youth, that although he himself has struck (them ) he knows it not. Having done the whole work himself, he fancies it the work of another. (62) UTTARA:- You may have not any doubt. This shall declare (it), here this hidden scar on his forearm struck out by the string of the Gāņdīya bow, which even at the end of twelve years does not fade into the colour of the forearm ). (63) BRHANNALĀ:- This scar is made by the frequent change of bracelets, and is formed by discoloration through pressure just in the place of an arrow-guard. (64) KING: Well, let us see, ·-ii. 69] English Translation 37 . BRHANNALĀ:- If I am Arjuna of Bharata's race, whose limbs were licked by the shafts of Rudra, then is it not evident that this is Bhimasena, and this, king Udhisthira ? ( 65 ) KING:- Dharmarāja ! Bhima! Arjuna! How could you not trust me? well, let it be at the right time. Brhannalā, enter the inner apartments. BĶHANNALĀ:- As the Great king commands. BHAGAWAN:- Arjuna, no, no, you must not enter. Ve have carried out our promise. ARJUNA:— As my noble brother commands. KING:- Through the residence of the Pandavas, who are brave, true of word, and keep their promise, my house is purged of sins. ( 66 ) ABHINANYU:- So here are my respected elders. That is why they do not get angry when insulted by me and laughingly taunt me. What good fortune that this cattle-raid has ended well since it has helped me to see my elders ! ( 67 ) ( To Bhimasena ) O uncle, I did not salute you before, through ignorance pray, be gracious to forgive this fault in your son (68) BHIMASENA-:- Come, come, my son; may you be as brave as your father. Son, salate your father. ABHIMANYU:- Father, I salute you. ARJUNA: This embracing of my son's body, which gladdens the heart, and which was banished, has come back to me at the end of twelve years.

Mayest thou have the courage of Yudhisthira, the might of Bhimą, and the dexterity of Arjuna. Mayest thou possess the beauty of Madri's sons, and the wisdom and fame of Krşa, the beloved of the world. ( 70) ( To himself ) But this intimacy with Uttarā troubles me. What shall I do now? Well, I have it. Who is there? (Entering) GUARD:- Victory to the Great king ! KING: Bring some water. GUARD:-As the Great king commands.(Exit and re-entering) Here is water.

ACT III ( Then enter a Soldier. ) SOLDIER:- Ho, speak, speak to all the warriors headed by (Droņa,) the preceptor of all warriors ! Discarding the fear of Xārāyana's disc and disregarding their lost relatives, they hire taken Abhi. manyu captive; and the Kurus with their bows were unable to protect him; they should be ashamed of this. (1) ( Then enter Bhişma and Droņa. ) DRONA:- Charioteer, say who has carried off my pupil's son from the field of battle? Who desires to combat with my dipine shafts ? Tell me who is this strong man, what his weapon and his might, so that I will send him stout messengers ( to challenge him ). (2) BHIŞMA:- Charioteer, tell me, tell me. This baby who was ignorant of the dangers in a rout of defeated (men), and was tarrying on the field by reason of his yourhful age, who was it, bent on catching elephants, that caught this baby when the herd had passed ? ( 3 ) ( Then enter Duryodhane Kaina and fakuni.)

·40 Pañcaratram [ ii. 3-- DURYODHANA:- O charioteer, tell me, tell me. Who has carried off Abhimanyu ? I will myself set him free. For. between his parents and myself exists a family feud, and so the wise will lay the blame on me particalarly. Moreover, he is my son first and then of the Pāņdavas. And when there are dissensions in a family, the children are not to blame. ( 4 ) KARŅA:- You have spoken what is most gracious and appropriate. Son of Gāndhārī, not because he was & kinsman, but because he was & boy, and in the forefront of the fight fighting for you, he fell, and we could not save him. So let us throw a way our bows and put on bark-garments, (5) ŚĀKUNI:- The son of Subhadrā has many protectors. Take it that he must have been released. For, King Virāța will himself set him free, as soon as he comes to know that he is Arjuna's son; or remembering Śrīkrsna who has withdrawn from the battlefield he would set him free; or he will let him go for fear of Balarama, who lifted his ploughshare in rage and smote the demon Pralamba; or perhaps mighty Bhima will bring him here, slaughtering the powerful foes. (6) DROŅA:- Charioteer, tell me how he was taken ! Was his chariot overturned ? Did the horses get out of control ? Did the ground yield beneath the chariot-wheel ? Were the quivers devoid of arrows ? Did you prove unworthy of him ? Was his bow useless through snapping of the string ? These are the mishaps in battle that, through illluck, befall those that fight in a chariot. Perhaps, ·-iii. 11] English Translation 41 he was worsted and taken captire by his enemies with their arrows; but then he was a master of the art of war! (7) CHARIOTEER:- Long-lived one, tae science of archery is fall of terrible ( accidents ). Do you not know this? None of the misfortunes you mentioned befell. The great warrior was ( sending ) a mighty stream of arrows, and my chariot was moving like the circle of a whirling fire-brand. But a foot-soldier, who came up at the moment captured him. (8) ALT:- How, by a foot-soldier ? What sort of a foot-soldier was he? CHARIOTEER:- What shall I describe, his appearance or valoar? BHIŞMA:- Women are described by their appearance, but men by their valour. So describe his valour. CHARIOTEER:- Long-lived sir, DURYODHANA:- Why are you praising some one in such high-sounding phrases ? Or rather speak, I am not worried, even if he is the (very) wind in speed. (9) CHARIOTEER:- Listen, sir, surpassing the horses in speed, no sooner did he lay his hand on a part of the chariot, than the chariot came to a stand-still, though the horses were straining their necks. (10) BHIŞMA: Then we may keep aside our weapons. ALL:- Why? BHIŞMA: If the speed of the chariot was checked by one arm, we must suppose that it fell in the clutches of Bhimasena; for formerly, when Jayadratha was ·42 Pañcaratram [iii. 11. - carrying away Draupadi, he overcame him even as a foot-soldier. (11) DROŅA:- The son of Gangā has observed rightly. Since I taught him as a boy, I know his speed. For in the archery school, when he had drawn to his ear, and discharged his arrow, I observed that he moved his head; then he sped along with the arrow and caught it ere it had hit the mark. (12) SAKUNI:- What a ridiculous statement ! Is there no other strong man in the world ? Every virtue is attributed to your favourites. Do you all see the Pāņdavas pervading the whole Universe ? (13) BHIŞMA:- O king of Gāndhāra, all this is inference. Riding our chariots, we proceed to battle, armed with weapons and bows; but only two, Balarama and Bhimasena, have gone to the battle, with only their bare arms. (14) ŠAKUNI:- All of us, for all our love of daring, were suddenly broken by one man : and some will say that Uttara Was Arjuna himself. ( 15 ) DRONA:- King of Gāndhāra, have you any doubt in this? Is Uttar& capable of wielding & bow which thunders like & rainless thunderbolt ? Could Uttara's arrows deprive the Sun of his light and cause a momentary sun-set ? (16) BHIŞMA:- Oh son of Gāndhārī, it is clearly told. Do you' not know, by the words inscribed on the feather-end of his shafts, rolled on the tongue of the bowstring ? Surely Arjuna has drawn his bow; and yet he ( Sakuni ) does not hear it (17) ·iii, 21] English Translation 43 ( entering ) CHARIOTEER:- Victory to the long-lived sir! Let some expiatory rite be performed. BHIŞMA:- Why ? CHARIOTEER:- First of all you must perform it as your standard has been riven by an arrow. For, here is an arrow of someone, bearing a name on its tail-end. ( 18 ) BHIŞMA:- Bring it here. ( The charioteer takes it to him.) BHIŞMA:-( Taking and ecamining ) Son, king of Gāndhāra, my eye has grown dim with age. Please read ( what is written on ) the arrow. ŚAKUNI:-( Taking and reading )' Of Arjuna'. ( Throws it down; it falls at Drona's feet.) DRONA:- Come comė, my child. This arrow shot by my papil to honour Bhīşma has fallen on the ground at my feet to salate me, in due order. ( 19 ) SAKUNI:- Let us not trust the evidence of this arrow. There might be a warrior by name Arjuna, and it might be that he has shot this arrow. But let some writing from Uttara himself come to light. ( 20 ) DURYODHANA:- If a falsehood is told so that I may share half of the kingdom with them, then I will give the half only when I see Dharmarāja ( 21 ) (Entering) THE SOLDIER:- Victory to my Lord ! A messenger has come from the capital of Virāța. DURYODHANA:- Bring him in. THE SOLDIER:— As my Lord commands. (Excit) ( Then enter Uttara. ) ·44 Pañcaratram [iii. 22- UTTARA:- The distance to be covered was short, and I urged my horses to their utmost speed; yet my chariot took a long time on the way; for the horses could move with difficulty among the taskers, slain all round by Arjuna's darts and the ground was uneven. ( 22 ) ( Entering with folded Tands ) I pay my respects to the assembly of the kings, led by the preceptor and Grandsire. ALL:- May you live long. DRONA:- What says the Lord of Virāta ? CTTARA:- I am not sent by him. DRONA:- From whom do you come then? UTTARA:- From king Udhisthira. DRONA:- What does king Dharma say? UTTARA:- Listen. Uttarā has been obtained for my daughter-in-law. I await the assembly of kings. There shall the wedding take place ? There or here? ŚAKUNI:- There, just there! DROŅA.- Thus we have brought the news, and the Five Nights are still there ! The gift made with solemn rite should be given with due solemnity. ( 24 ). DURYODHANA:- Well, I surrender to the Pāpdavas the realm that was theirs before. Spite of death, all men live as long as truth endures. (25) DRONA. O joy ! We are all pleased with the rising greatness of (this) house. May our lion-king govern the whole of this earth.

The poet merely indulges in giving a long-winded description of the fire that burnt down the sacrificial hall and all the rich materials that had been collected for the sacrifice.

Ganapatisastri as द्वादशवर्षभिः करणभूतैः । What he means is this: it was stipulated that after twelve years of exile in the forest the Pandavas were to live incognito for one year; and if during this period of one year they were discovered, then they had again to pass another period of twelve years in exile; and hence, intent on deception, the Kauravas did their utmost to find out their whereabouts, but did not succeed. But this is rather far-fetched. The author is una vare of any such stipulation, and has stated in a previous stanza that they had not known their whereabouts after the lapse of twelve years: येषां गतिः क्वापि निराश्रयाणां संवत्सरैः द्वादशभिनं दृष्टा । I, 31. 1.461. अच्छलो धर्मः । Cf. अच्छलं मित्रत्वं नाम । अविमारक IV. 1293. अच्छलो हि स्नेहो नाम । अविमा.

Ah etc. The lines are a bit obscure - construe - पितुः प्रत्ययात् भीतः सौभद्रं स्वशरैर्न धर्षयति किम् । Having turned away such redoubtable warriors, would he be daunted by his father 3ja's reputation and not assail him ? Even though he comes into close contact with अभिमन्यु (संसृष्टोऽपि) he will not assail him because of his youth which is like his own and which is quite befitting their friendship i. e. might engender & feeling of warm friendship between them. HICH TFT etc:- In the labh. JEI 179-186 is described the fight between 15 and Teria in which the latter was discomfited and accepted his defeat. II. 27. Here is described the reluctance of the charioteer अर्जुन (बृहन्नला) to meet अभिमन्यु in an encounter; and hence he is just making a feint of attacking him, and quickly turns away when she would try to strike him. योग्योपदेशम् - योग्यायाः उपदेशम् । योग्या here means practices here the practice of driving a chariot (1997). II. 278. Stafad THEM - The Seizure of cattle is defeated i. e. thwarted; & queer expression. It is possible that the reading is अवसितम् - in place of अवजितम् - the Cattleraid is over. II. 277.

II. 382.- वृष्णिपाण्डवनाथस्य-वृष्णयः पाण्डवाश्च नाथा यस्य तस्य People may think that as the वृष्णिs i. e. the यादवs and the quses are his protectors, it is out of fear of them that अभिमन्यु was treated with great honour, though a captive. II. 384. यादवीपुत्रः = अभिमन्युः । यादवी is सुभद्रा. II. 39. Falgue:- Here the word is rather vague - it may refer to the पाण्डवs in which case- translate: "The grosas are dear to us on account of their greatness; " if it refers to 9: - then the translation should be - "He deserves to be honoured by us as a guest, with all our wealth. II. 40 लज्जते ह्येष पुत्रम् - पुत्रमुद्दिश्य लज्जते । He would be shy about his son. This transitive use of is irregular.

Cayle24- agga: Faià i Krsna will be angry that he is vanquished. Foyd Atm. is irregular. II. 451-2. भीमसेन in his impatience addresses अर्जुन openly, forgetting that they had taken on different disguises. So ga deliberately understands the vocative as the first member of the compound expression अर्जुनपुत्रः- and brusquely cutting short भीम's speech gives him a hint that it was rather premature to reveal their identity. It takes the hint and addresses him aside (अपवार्य ). इष्टापत्या goes with $145t - but it can also be read as $214741 - the 7 in 374741 being doubled according to fer al 47.61818. Even though I concede that there are evil consequences of his capture, I would gladly suffer them since they bring relief to aleat in her misery, which is an Erf- a desirable contingency.

II. 488. संसृष्टः = बन्धु:-Your kinsman; he speaks ironically - he did not like the familiar tone in which they were speaking of such revered personages as श्रीकृष्ण and GHET his mother, and others. He must be well to be your kinsman! II. 485. हस्यते This should be treated as an impersonal construction (भावेप्रयोगः); भवद्भिः हस्यते मां (उद्दिश्य इति शेषः)। II. 50. अलं आत्मस्तवं कर्तुम् :- The use of the infinitive कर्तु with the negative indeclinable as - is irregular; it should be अलं कृत्वा । IT 61. सरथतुरग etc. रथैः तुरगैः हसनागैः योधैश्च सहिते goes with सैन्ये or युद्धरङ्गे understood - as the compound is an adjectival one.

Another way of interpreting the same is - By gaying what, shall I be free from offending you playstal FRISSERI Or how can I say you may go, while you are standing here - तिष्ठति (त्वयि ) कथं यातु इति (All), But this is cumbrous. In the afant IV. 5. end if I say > even ·> - IL. 707] Notes 25 We have 'भक्तिमान् आगतः कश्चित् कथं तिष्ठतु याविति । and it is suggested that the reading here also should be rasa and not तिष्ठति । कथं तिष्ठतु यातु इति किमुक्त्वा नापराद्धोऽहम् | Shall I Bay 'stay on' or shall I say 'go away'?

Hence M. M. Ganapatiśastri suggests 4627 ocala as the original reading : I shall dispatch sharp arrows, as my messengers to him.

Ganapatisastri, however, explains अनभिज्ञः इति एवंरूपो दोषो यस्य सः or अनभिज्ञत्वं अनिपुणत्वं दोषो यस्य #: :- Who had the fault of not being conversant with the modes of retreating in case of defeat.

III.b. मा तावत् स्वजनभयात् - The expression मा तावत् is to be construed with Arafagot: understood. He is to be set free by gain not merely because of the fear of kinsmen or because he was just a child; the real reason was that he fought in the forefront of the fight for your good - and suffered the disaster for your sakewhile we were anable to save him; so to redeem our honour, it behoves you to set him free. III. 6. अवगतः- अवगतिः ज्ञानं तद्वान् । uferra stafect:- The ablative does not well suit the context - it should be matt locative; hence the v. 1. अपगतम् is better. रणाजिरात् अपगतम् should be taken with GIACCA -" remembering that Damodara was away from the field of battle, बलमहान् - a peculiar expression बले - i.e. बलविषये महान् - mighty.
