अहं पश्चाद् अर्जुनम् अभ्यरक्षं; माद्रीपुत्रौ भीमसेनश् च चक्रे ॥
गाण्डीवभृच् छत्रुसंघान् उदस्य; स्वस्त्य् आगमत् कच्चिद् एनं स्मरन्ति ॥
न कर्मणा साधुनैकेन नूनं; कर्तुं शक्यं भवतीह संजय ॥
सर्वात्मना परिजेतुं वयं चेन्; न शक्नुमो धृतराष्ट्रस्य पुत्रम् ॥
ahaṃ paścād arjunam abhyarakṣaṃ; mādrīputrau bhīmasenaś ca cakre ||
gāṇḍīvabhṛc chatrusaṃghān udasya; svasty āgamat kaccid enaṃ smaranti ||
na karmaṇā sādhunaikena nūnaṃ; kartuṃ śakyaṃ bhavatīha saṃjaya ||
sarvātmanā parijetuṃ vayaṃ cen; na śaknumo dhṛtarāṣṭrasya putram ||
Do they remember the disgrace that befell them when, with evil intent, they came to the forests of Dvaitavana under the pretext of having their cattle carried off? These wicked men, overpowered by their enemies, were afterward set free by Bhimasena and Arjuna — I guarded Arjuna's rear (in the battle that followed), and Bhima guarded the rear of the sons of Madri, while the wielder of Gandiva emerged unharmed from the thick of the fight, having wrought great slaughter upon the hostile army — do they remember this? Not by a single good deed alone, O Sanjaya, can happiness be won in this world, when with all our strength we cannot overcome the son of Dhritarashtra!'
