महाप्राज्ञाः सर्वशास्त्रावदाता; धनुर्भृतां मुख्यतमाः पृथिव्याम् ॥
कच्चिन् मानं तात लभन्त एते; धनुर्भृतः कच्चिद् एते ऽप्य् अरोगाः ॥
सर्वे कुरुभ्यः स्पृहयन्ति संजय; धनुर्धरा ये पृथिव्यां युवानः ॥
येषां राष्ट्रे निवसति दर्शनीयो; महेष्वासः शीलवान् द्रोणपुत्रः ॥
वैश्यापुत्रः कुशली तात कच्चिन्; महाप्राज्ञो राजपुत्रो युयुत्सुः ॥
कर्णो ऽमात्यः कुशली तात कच्चित्; सुयोधनो यस्य मन्दो विधेयः ॥
स्त्रियो वृद्धा भारतानां जनन्यो; महानस्यो दासभार्याश् च सूत ॥
वध्वः पुत्रा भागिनेया भगिन्यो; दौहित्रा वा कच्चिद् अप्य् अव्यलीकाः ॥
कच्चिद् राजा ब्राह्मणानां यथावत्; प्रवर्तते पूर्ववत् तात वृत्तिम् ॥
कच्चिद् दायान् मामकान् धार्तराष्ट्रो; द्विजातीनां संजय नोपहन्ति ॥
mahāprājñāḥ sarvaśāstrāvadātā; dhanurbhṛtāṃ mukhyatamāḥ pṛthivyām ||
kaccin mānaṃ tāta labhanta ete; dhanurbhṛtaḥ kaccid ete 'py arogāḥ ||
sarve kurubhyaḥ spṛhayanti saṃjaya; dhanurdharā ye pṛthivyāṃ yuvānaḥ ||
yeṣāṃ rāṣṭre nivasati darśanīyo; maheṣvāsaḥ śīlavān droṇaputraḥ ||
vaiśyāputraḥ kuśalī tāta kaccin; mahāprājño rājaputro yuyutsuḥ ||
karṇo 'mātyaḥ kuśalī tāta kaccit; suyodhano yasya mando vidheyaḥ ||
striyo vṛddhā bhāratānāṃ jananyo; mahānasyo dāsabhāryāś ca sūta ||
vadhvaḥ putrā bhāgineyā bhaginyo; dauhitrā vā kaccid apy avyalīkāḥ ||

I hope all these mighty archers are free from illness. O Sanjaya, all these greatest and best of archers, endowed with the highest intellect and learned in scripture and standing at the very summit among those who bear weapons, have joined the Kurus. I hope these archers receive the honor they deserve. I hope they are free from disease. How fortunate are those in whose kingdom dwells that mighty and handsome archer, the well-bred son of Drona! I hope Yuyutsu, the very intelligent son of Dhritarashtra by his Vaishya wife, is well. I hope, my lord, that the counselor Karna, whose advice the dull-witted Suyodhana follows, is well. I hope the elderly women, the mothers of the Bharata line, as well as the kitchen women, the female servants, the daughters-in-law, the boys, the sons of sisters, the sisters, and the sons of daughters of the house of Dhritarashtra — all are free from misfortune. My lord, I hope the king still grants the brahmins their accustomed sustenance.
