Arjuna Vishada Yoga- Chapter 1

[Rajeev Raghunath]

Vishada- Misery born due to attachements
Atatayina - Will full crime

अपर्याप्तं तदस्माकं बलं भीष्माभिरक्षितम् ।

पर्याप्तं त्विदमेतेषां बलं भीमाभिरक्षितम् ।। १०

Multitudinous is our army marshalled by Bhisma, but meagre is the army
marshalled by Bhima. (10)

अयनेषु च सर्वेषु यथाभागमवस्थिताः ।

भीष्ममेवाभिरक्षन्तु भवन्तः सर्व एव हि ।। ११

Now all of you assume positions in your respective divisions and
protect Bhisma alone, by all means. (11)

तस्य सञ्जनयन् हर्षं कुरुवृद्धः पितामहः ।।

सिंहनादं विनद्योच्चैः शङ्खं दध्मौ प्रतापवान् ।। १२

In order to embolden Duryodhana, Bhisma the mighty grandsire, the
oldest of the Kurus, now raised a lion’s roar and blew his conch. (12)

ततः शङ्खाश्च भेर्यश्च पणवानकगोमुखाः ।

सहसैवाभ्यहन्यन्त स शब्दस्तुमुलोऽभवत् ।। १३

Then suddenly blared forth conchs and kettledrums, tabors and trumpets
and cow-horns; and tremendous was that noise. (13)

ततः श्वेतैर्हयैर्युक्ते महति स्यंदने स्थितौ ।

माधवः पाण्डवश्चैव दिव्यौ शङ्खौ प्रदध्मतुः ।। १४

Then, seated as Madhava and Pandava were in their magnificent chariot
yoked to white steeds, they gratefully blew their divine conchs. (14)

पाञ्चजन्यं हृषीकेशो देवदत्तं धनंजयः ।

पौण्ड्रं दध्मौ महाशङ्खं भीमकर्मा वृकोदरः ।। १५

Panchajanys was blown by Hrishikesa, and Devadatta by Dhananjaya.
Vrikodara of terrible exploits blew his great conch, Paundra. (15)

अनन्तविजयं राजा कुन्तीपुत्रो युधिष्ठिरः ।

नकुलः सहदेवश्च सुघोषमणिपुष्पकौ ।। १६

The King Yudhishthira, the son of Kuntu, blew Anantavijaya; Nakula and
Sahadeva blew Sughosha and Manipushpaka. (16)
