Book eighth Weishmabad Fall of Vishma. All negotiations for a peaceful partition of the
0:10
Kuru kingdom having failed, both parties now prepared for a battle, perhaps the
0:16
most sanguinary that was fought on the plains of India in dencient times. It
0:20
is a battle of nations, for all warlike races in northern India took a
0:25
cher in it. Duritan's army consisted of his own division as well as the
0:30
divisions of ten alive kings. Each allied power is said to have brought one
0:34
ak Shaeni troops, and if he reduced this fabulous number to the moderate figure
0:38
of ten thousand, including horse and foot cars and elephants, Duritan's army,
0:43
including his own division, was over one hundred thousand strong. Yidistir had a
0:49
smaller army, said to have been seven Akshainese in number, which he may
0:53
by a similar reduction reckoned to be seventy thousand. His father in law,
0:58
the King of the Panchas, and Darjin's relative, the King of the Machias,
1:03
where his principal allies, Krishna, joined him as his friend and adviser
1:07
and as the jederiotier of Virgin, but the Breshnis as a nation had joined
1:12
the Ryudhan. When the two armies were drawn up in are and faced each
1:17
other, and Darjin saw his revered elders and dear friends and relations among his
1:22
foes, he was unwilling to fight. It was on this occasion that Krishna
1:26
explained to him the great principles of duty in that memorable work called the Fagavad
1:32
Gita, which has been translated into so many European languages. Belief in one
1:37
supreme deity is the underlying thought of this work, and ever an Anon as
1:42
Professor Gerber remarks, thus Krishna ever to the doctrine that for every man,
1:47
no matter to what cost he may belong, the jealous performance of his duty
1:51
and the teachairs of his obligations is his most important work. They did and
1:57
chose the grand ould fighter Vishma as the commandery chief of his army. For
2:01
ten days, Vishma held his own and inflicted serious loss on Idistir's army.
2:07
The principal incidents of these ten days, ending with the fall of Vishma,
2:10
are narrated in this book. This book is an approachment of book six of
2:15
the original text. One pondebs rooted by Vishma Ushas with her crimson fingers OpEd
2:25
the portals of the day nations armed for mortal combat in the field of battle
2:30
lay beat of drum and blare of trumpet, and the sunkhas lofty sound by
2:37
the answering cloud repeated shook the hills and tended ground, and the voice of
2:42
sounding weapons which the warlike archards drew, and the nah of battle chargers as
2:46
the armed horsemen flew mingled with the rolling thunder of each swiftly speeding car and
2:53
its feeling bells, proclaiming by the elephants of war. Fishma led the Kuru
2:58
forces strong as that's resistless flail human chiefs nor bright immortals could against his might
3:05
prevail. Helmut wearing Galander Jun came in pride and mighty red held alofties,
3:13
famed Ghandhib strove to cross the chieftain's path. A Himenu, son of a
3:17
Jun, whom the fair Suvadrabor drove against Koshala's monarch, famed in arms and
3:23
holy lore, hurling down Goshaala's standard, he either to be as combat one
3:30
barely escaped it life the moner from the fiery at June's sun with is faded.
3:36
For Duryuden we must drove in deathful war and against a proud dussasan brave
3:42
Nichole drove his car Sadib mighty woman. Then the fierce Dur Mukhassat and the
3:49
righteous king in his dear with the carbon Saya fot and sent feud and deathless
3:53
hatred fired the Brahman warrior Bold Drona, with the proud panchaalst once more his
4:00
few of gold nations from the eastern regions against the bold bird pressed Creepa met
4:08
the Wildcacas hailing from the farthest west. Drupert, proud and peerless monarch with
4:15
his cohorts onward bore against the warlick Jeddrath, chief of Sindhu's sounding shore Chades
4:23
and the valiant Matchias nations gathered from Afar Vojas and the fierce Combojures mingled into
4:30
dubious war through the day. The battle lasted, and no mortal tongue can
4:35
tell what unnumbered chieftains perished and what countless soldiers fell. And the son knew
4:43
not his father and the sire knew not his son brother fought against his brother
4:48
strange the deeds of balerdan. Horses fell, and shafts of chariots shivered in
4:55
resistless shock, hurled against the foreman's chariots, speeding on like the rolling rock.
5:01
Elephants by mahouts driven furiously each other tore trumpeting with trunks uplifted on the
5:08
serried soldier's boar ceaselessplight. The gallant troopers with a starn unielding miThe pikes and
5:15
axes, clubs and maces, swords and spears and lances breathe. Horsemen flee
5:20
wes, fork lighting heroes fought in shining mail. Archers poured their feedered arrows
5:26
like the bright and glistening hail. Vishma, leader of the chorus, as
5:31
declined the ratful day through the shattered pant of legions, forced his all resistless
5:36
way onward went his palm tree standard through the hostile ranks of war machias.
5:44
Gashi's nor Panchadas faced the mighty wishmouse car. But the fiery son of a
5:49
June, filled with shame and bade a red, turned his car and tawny
5:54
coursers to abstract. The chieftain's pet vainly fought the youthful warrior, though his
6:00
doughts were pointed well and dissevered from his chariot. Vishma's pumpty standard fell angers
6:08
teared Dance and Vishma, and he rose in all his might of a manue
6:13
pierced with arrows, fell unfainted in the fight. Then, to save the
6:17
son of Virtune, Matia's gallant princess came brave with their noble sweater youthful warriors
6:25
known to fame Ah too hourly felt the warriors in that sad and fatal strife.
6:30
Matia's dems and dark eyed maidens wept. The princess shortened life, slain
6:36
by cwel faith untimely fell to brothers young and good. Dauntless. Still the
6:43
youngest brother, proud and gallant Sunka stood, But the helmet daring Urtune came
6:48
to stop the victor's pat and to save the fearless Sunka from Dance and Wishma's
6:55
red droopet. Two punt Charles's monarch swiftly rushed in to the prey strove to
7:00
shield the broken pandubs and to stop the victor's way. But as fire consumed
7:06
the forest, wrathful Vishma slew the foe none could face. His sounding chariot
7:12
and his ever circled bow, and the fainting panda brothers marked a foe resistless,
7:18
bold shoke like unprotected cattle teetered in the blighting cold. Onward came the
7:25
mighty Vishma, and the slaughter fiercer grew from his bow like hissing serpents.
7:30
Still the glistening arrows flew. Onward came the ensign to warrior, and his
7:36
path was strewn with dead, and the broken pond of forces, crushed and
7:41
driven, scattered, fled. Friendly knight, and gathering darkness closed the slaughter
7:46
of the day to their tents. The sons of Pantu held their sad and
7:50
weary way. Two CRUs rooted by urchin grieved at heart, the goody stir
8:01
wept the losses of the day, sought the aid of gallant Krishna for the
8:05
morning's fresh array. And when from the eastern mountains Suriya drove his fiery car,
8:11
Vishma and the helder Jun strove to turn the tide of war, Vishma's
8:16
glorious palmedy standard over the field of battle rose Urgin's monkey standard glittered, cleaving
8:22
through the sered foes. They was from their cloud born chariots and gun derbs
8:28
from the sky, gazed in mute and speechless wonder on the humid chiefs from
8:33
high while its dauntless valor urgent steel. The mighty Vishma sa'ad warlike prince of
8:41
fair Panchao, with the doughty Drona, fought ceaseless against a proud preceptor sent
8:48
his dots like summer rain. Baffled by the skill of Drona, tris Dadhimiya
8:52
strove in vain, but the fiercer dots of Drona pierced the princess shattered male
8:58
hurtling on his battle chariot like an angry shower of hail, And they ran
9:03
in twain his bowstring, and they cut his ponderous maze. Sleevy s deeth
9:09
sent chariot driver streaked blood, his godlike face dauntless still Ponchild's hero springing from
9:16
a shadowed car like a hungry dagert lion with his zebra rushed to war,
9:22
dashed aside the darts of Drouna with his broad and ample shield, with his
9:26
saber, brightly framing, fierly stroughted red and field in his fury and his
9:33
rashness, he had fallen on that day. But the ever watchful Wema stopped
9:37
a proud preceptor's way, proud, rude and marked, with tanger Vima rushing
9:43
in his car, and he sent Kalinga's forces to the thickening ranks of war.
9:50
Onward came Kalinga warriors with the dark tornado's smith, dusky chiefs, nishad
9:54
warriors, gloomy as the sable night rose the sh shout of warring nations,
10:01
surging to the battle's war, like the angry voice of tempest and the ocean's
10:05
troubled roar, Unlike darkly rolling breakers, ranks of sered warriors flew scarcely in
10:13
the tikening darkness. Friends and kin from Forem and Neil felt the young Prince
10:18
of Kalinga by the wrathful Wema slane, but against Kalinga's monarch, befful Vima
10:24
fought in vain, safely set the star monarch on his howdah's lofty seat,
10:31
till upon the giant tusker Fema sprang with a xile feet. Then he struck
10:37
with fatal fury. Brave Kalinga fell in twain, scattered, fled his countless
10:41
forces when they saw their leader slaying, darkly rolled the tide of battle.
10:46
When Dudidan's valiant son strove against the son of vir Jun, famed for deeds
10:52
of well or done, proud do you then marked a contest with her father's
10:56
anxious heart came to say of his gallant lushmen from Bravay may now start.
11:03
And the helmut wearing Urchin marked his son among his POWs, who from far
11:07
his battle chariot and in rat terrific rose Urjun. Urjun cried the Curus,
11:15
and in panic broke and fled stead In Tasker turned from battle. Soldiers fell
11:20
among the dead. Godlike Krishna drove the coursers of registless urgent scar and the
11:28
sound of Urgin Sunkha rose above the cry of war and the voice of his
11:33
Gandip spread a terror far and near. Crushed and broken, faint and frightened
11:39
fled the Curus in their fear onward steel through scattered foemen, Conquering Arjun held
11:45
his way till the evening's gathering darkness closed the action of the day tree Vishma
11:52
and urgin meat anxious was the proud to ruden when the golden morning came.
12:00
For before the cut of virgin fled each Kuru chief of fame brave, the
12:05
ruthen shook in anger, and the tremor moved his frame as he speake to
12:09
ancient Vishma, words of rat in bitter shame, Vishma, dost thou lead
12:16
the Kurus in this battle's crimson field warlike drona dotty gordos like a broad and
12:22
ample shield. Wherefore then before your urchun, do the valiant curus fly?
12:28
Wherefore doth our leader linger when he hears the battle cry dot a secret love
12:33
for Pandev's quell our leader's matchless mile with a halting chill for Kurus dot the
12:39
noble Vishma fid pardon chief if for the pandavs dot thy partial heart incline,
12:46
yield my place, Let faithful Kurn lead my gallant Kuru. Line. Anger
12:52
flamed on Vishma's forehead, and the tear was in his eye and in accents
12:58
few and trembling. Thus the warrior made reply, vein our toil unwise?
13:03
Do you then, nor can wish my warrior old, nor can Drona's killed,
13:07
the weapons her nature proud and bold, wash the stain of deeds unholy
13:13
and of wrongs and outraged laws, conquer with a load of cunning against a
13:18
right and righteous cause death to his dunes. Boys, do you then,
13:22
deaf to parents and to keen. Thou shalt paris in thy folly, in
13:28
thy unrepented scene, for the wrongs and insults suffered unto good it is to
13:33
his wife, for the kingdom from him stolen, for the plots against his
13:37
life, for the dreadful oats of Viema, for the holy council given vainly
13:43
given by Saint Lukrishna. Thou art doomed by righteous heaven. Meanwhile, since
13:50
he leads thy forces fish m steel, shall meet his foe, or to
13:54
conquer or to perish to the battle's front. I go, speaking us unto
14:00
the battle, and send Vishma hurled his way, sweeping all before his chariot,
14:05
as upon a previous day, and the army of wittstir shook from and
14:09
to far the stand urchin nor the valiant Krishna gout against a tight content.
14:16
Cars were shattered, fled the coursers. Elephants were pierced and slain. Shafts
14:22
of chariots broken, standards, Lifeless soldiers strewed the plain coats of mail were
14:28
left by warriors as they ran with streaming hair. Soldiers fled like herds of
14:33
cattle, stricken by sudden fear. Krishna, Aljun's chariot driver and the chief
14:39
of rteaus Fame marked a broken pond of forces. Spake in grief and bitter
14:43
shame. Urchin not in hour of battle had it been they wont to fly
14:50
forward, lay thy path of glory, or to conquer or to die.
14:56
If to day with angry Vishma Urgin chanced the dubious fo Shame on Krishna if
15:01
he joins thee in this sad, inglorious flight, be it Minealono Urchin warriors
15:09
wanted work to know Krishna. It is fiery discuss smites the all resistless foe.
15:16
Then he flung the reins to Urchin, left the steeds and sounding car
15:20
leaped upon the field of battle, rushed into the draftful war shame, cried
15:26
Urjun in his anger Krishna shall not wage the fire, nor shall acheun like
15:31
a recream seek for safety in his flight, and he dashed behind the warrior,
15:37
and on foot. The chief pursued, caught him as the angry Krishna
15:41
steal his distant form and vewed stallard. Urjun lifted Krishna as the storm lifts
15:48
up a tree, placed him on his battle chariot, and he bent to
15:52
him his knee. Pardon Krishna, discompulsion. Pardon this translation bold, But
15:58
while Achin leaves, so Chief dain weapon of Dirath. Whit told by my
16:03
warlike a vimnu, fears of a dross darling boy, by my brother's dearer
16:08
truer teneen hours of pride and joy by my trots. I pledge I Krishna
16:15
let c eye, angry, disc asleep, arched Arjun meets his foemen,
16:18
and the splatted world will keep forth. It rushed the Fiyachun in his sounding
16:25
battle car and like waves before him parted serrie ranks of hostile war vainly hurled
16:32
his lunch studio. Then against a variant warrior's face, vainly Seilia, King
16:37
of Madra. She would skill his ponderous maze with disdain. The godlike Achun
16:42
dashed the feeble dortch aside hold aloft his famed gandhib as he stood with half
16:48
depride, beat up grum and blare of sunka, and the thunder of his
16:53
car and his weapon's fearful accents rose terrific. Near and far came regists,
17:00
spund of forces sweeping onward, wave on wave, chades, machias and Panchada's
17:07
chieftains true and warriors brave onward too came forth to Curus by the matchless wish
17:14
Mahaled. Shouts arose and cry of anguish midst the dying and the dead.
17:19
But the evening closed in darkness, and the night fires feitful flared, fainting
17:26
troops and bleeding chieftains to their various tents repaired. Four Tuditan's brother slain dawned
17:36
another day of battle. Crews knew that day too well. Without Queens of
17:41
fair has Dinna wept before the evening fell, for as world of destruction we
17:47
mus swept in mighty red broke the serried line of taskers vainly sent to cross
17:52
his paths smoth Turiathan with his arrows. Three terrific dords and five smoth proud
17:57
sailia from the battle scarce the board the chiefs alive. Then Duritan's fourteen brothers
18:04
rushed into the dretful fray. Fatal was the luckless moment, inauspicious was the
18:11
day licked his mouth, the vengeful Wema, and they shook his bow and
18:15
lands as the lion lolts his red tanue when he see his prey advance,
18:22
short and fierce the furious combat. Six pal princes torned and fled. Eight
18:27
of proud Uruden's brothers fell and slumbered with the dead, five sighed Tekey's son
18:34
slain. Morning with her fiery radiance of the portals of the day shone once
18:41
more on Kouru warriors, bund of chiefs in dread array. Vima and the
18:47
Galantachun led once more to van of war, but the proud preceptor Drona faced
18:52
them in his sounding car, steeled with gallant son of Virgin Luxman strove with
18:57
bow and shield, vainly strove. His faithful henchmen bore him bleeding from the
19:03
field. Lutschman, son of Proud to Judan of Vimenu, Arguin's son doomed
19:10
to die in ute and glory. Beneath the same revolving sun sat the day
19:15
for Brishney warriors. Brave sight, Ticky's son submired against a cruel Vururistavas strove
19:21
in unrelenting five ten brave brothers Pride of Breshney fell upon that fatal day,
19:29
slain by mighty Wuristravas, and upon the red field lay six. Wema's danger
19:37
and rescue dawned another day of slaughter. Heathless Wema forced his way through durden,
19:45
sered legions who are dark, death and danger lay and the hundred foemen
19:51
gathered and unequal was the strife. We mus strove with furious valor, for
19:56
his four feet was his life. Fair puncha He's watchful monarch saw the danger
20:02
from Afar forced his wayward. Pleading Vima fought beside his shattered car, and
20:07
he helped the fainting warrior placed him on his chariot seat. But the crews
20:12
darkly gathered, surging round as watersmeathed Origin's son and twelve brave chieftains dashed into
20:19
the dubious fray, rescued Vema and proud Rupert from the korus green array,
20:26
surging steel. The krew forces onward came with ceaseless might, drown a smoth
20:32
the scattered pandubs till the darksome hours of night seven pandubs, rooted by Vishma.
20:41
Morning came, and the angry June rushed into the dreadful war. Krishna
20:47
drove his milk quiet coursers onward, flew his sounding car, and before his
20:52
monkey banner quailed a faint and frightened foes till next star on below the ocean,
20:59
Whichma's pumped tribanner rose vainly. Then the good it is their stalwart.
21:03
Vema Urgin brave strove with useless toil and valor, shattered ranks of war to
21:08
save vainly too upon the brothers on the peerless Vishma fell gods in sky,
21:17
nor earthly warriors which Ma's matchless might could quell fell Itistre's lofty standard shook his
21:23
chariot, battle tossed, felt his proud and fiery coursers, and the dreadful
21:29
day was lost. Sadeban knuckle vainly strove with all their might till their broken
21:34
scattered forces rested in the shades of Night. Eighth Iravat slain Dilton's brother slain
21:47
Morning saw the turn of battle which Man's jadiot tear was lain and his coursers
21:52
uncontrolled, flew across the red and plain ill It fared with Gurul forces when
21:57
their leader went astray, and their foremost chiefs and warriors with the dead and
22:03
dying lay. But Ganhar's mounted princess rode across the battleground for its deeds and
22:08
matchless churchers is Guanhar's realm renowned, and to spite the young Yabbad fierce,
22:15
Guanhar's princess swore brave Yabbad, son of Virjun, whom a Naga princess bore
22:22
mounted on their milk white churchers proudly did the princess sweep like the sea birds,
22:27
skimming gaily over the bosom of the deep. Five of stout Gundhar's princes
22:33
in that fatal combat fell, and the sixth, in fear and faintness,
22:37
fled. Theoful tale to tell shortly. Las Irabat's triumph transient was the victor's
22:44
joy. Alumbasha, dark and dreadful came against the gallant boy, fierce and
22:51
faithful. Was the combat mournful as the tale to tell like a lotus rudely
22:56
severed gallant son of Virgin fell Urgin heard the tale of sorrow, and his
23:03
heart was filled with grief. Does he speak a father's sanguise? Faint?
23:07
His accents few and brief. Wherefore Krishna four kingdom mingled in this fatal fray,
23:15
kinsmen killed and comrades slaughtered, dear alas the price we pay wu unto
23:22
Ustina's empire built upon our children's grave, tearer than the throne of monarchs,
23:27
was itot young and brave, young in ears and rich in beauty, with
23:33
thy mother's win some eye or does lay in my gallant warriar and thy father
23:38
was not nigh, but thy young blood calls for vengeance. Noble Krishna,
23:45
drive the car, Let them fill the father's proise. Those who slew the
23:49
son in war and the dash that listening tear drop, and his words were
23:55
few and brief, broken ranks and slaughter, chieftains spoken angry father's grief.
24:02
V Mathur revenged it Abad, and as onward steel he flew brothers of the
24:07
proud Dirudan in that fatal combat, sleeve still advanced the fatal carnage till the
24:12
darksome close of day, when the undad and the warie, with the dead
24:17
and dying lay nine Pandas rooted by Vishma fell. The thickening shades of darkness
24:26
on the red and ghastly plain torchesed by the white tents flickered red fire showed
24:32
the countless lane with the bosom sorrow Leddin proud Uridan drew his breath, wept
24:38
the issue of the battle, and his warlike brothers dead, spent with grief
24:44
and silent sorrow slowed the grown or gwent where arose in dewey starlight, whish
24:49
most proud and snowy tenned, and which tears and hands gone joined. Thus
24:55
the said Dourdan spoke, and his mournful beater accents oft by heaving sighs were
25:00
broke Vishmah on thy matchless prois. Koru's hopes and fates depend gods nor man.
25:10
Which war like Vishma can in field of war, content brave in war
25:15
or sons of Pandu. But they face not Vishma's might in their fears and
25:19
deathless hatred slay my brothers in the fire mind. I pledge O Chief of
25:26
Curus, save Vastina's royal rays On, then sent King my father, grant
25:33
the never failing grace. If within thy noble bosom pardon griell worts, I
25:38
say, secret love for sans of Pandu holds a soft and partial sway.
25:45
If thy inner heart's affection anto Pandu's sons incline, Grant that colonel laid my
25:51
forces against a foeman's hostile line. Visma's heart was full of sadness and desighlids
25:57
dropped a tear. Soft and mournful were his accents and his vision true and
26:03
clear. Vain do jan is dis contest and thy mighty host this vain?
26:11
Why it blood of friendly nations trends this red and rieking plain? They must
26:17
win? Who strong in virtue fight for virtue, stainless laws terribly armed,
26:22
a stallowed warrior who is armed in righteous cause? Think Doya. Then one
26:27
gunderves took the captive, and the slave didn't Dujin run thy fatthers urchin righteous
26:33
chief and brave. When in Machias fields a pasture captured we without skind didn't
26:41
the June in his valor beat thy countless force and mind. Krishna now hath
26:47
come to Urchun. Krishna drives his battle car cauls. Nor man can face
26:52
these heroes in the field of righteous war. Ruin frowns upon Dee do yoden
26:57
Am upon thy impious, in thy pride and in thy folly. Thou hast
27:03
court at cruel faith. Wishma steel will do his duty and his hand.
27:08
It is not far then many other chieftains follow. Fatal is this coool war
27:18
down the day of mighty slaughter and of dread and deathful wor and sent.
27:22
Vishma, in his anger, drove once more his sounding car morn to noon
27:27
and noon's evening. None could face the victor's red broke and shattered. Faint
27:33
and frightened. Bandus fled before his fat still amidst the dead and dying,
27:40
moved his proud, resistless car till the gathering night and darkness closed the horrors
27:45
of the war. Ten fall of Wishma Good, His dear gazed its sorrow
27:55
on the dark and costly plain, shed his tears on chiefs and warriors.
27:59
By the Vishma slay veign this unavailing battle, vein this woful loss of life
28:07
against the death, compelling Vishma hopeless in this artless strife. As a lordly
28:14
taskar tramples on a marsh of feeble reads, as a forest conflagration on the
28:18
porch tootland feeds. Vishma rides upon my warriors in his mighty battle. Car
28:25
God nor mortal chief can face him in the gory field of war. Vain
28:30
our toil and vain the valor of our kinsmen loved and lost, vainly fight
28:36
my faithful brothers by a luckless fortune. Crost nations pour their life blood vainly
28:42
ceaseless weeks the sound of war. Krishna, stop this cruel carnage. Unto
28:48
loots once more we go, said they hold them in night counsel, and
28:55
the chiefs, in silence meet and and to enscient Vishma than marcy to Entriau.
29:02
Vishma loved the son Sapandu with a father's loving heart. But from trot
29:07
unto the ruden righteous Vishma not part son Sapandu, said the chieftain Prince Diurudan
29:15
is my lord. Vishma is no faithless servant, nor will break his plighted
29:19
word valiant aaryenable princess. But the chief is yet unborn. While I lead
29:26

29:37

30:08
He will fight No woman born female child was brave. Secondly, Trupet's youngest
30:15
son of pride. Gods have turned him to a warrior, placed him by
30:19
Yudistr's side, place him in the Vanna battle. Mighty Vishma leaves the strife,
30:26
turnut ease, we fight and conquer, and the forefeet is his life.
30:30
Shame, exclaimed the angry jun Not in secret. Heroes fight not behind
30:37
a child or woman screen their valor and their mind. Krishna loth his archa
30:44
Ujem to pursue his hateful strife trick against the seinless Vishma fraud upon his spotless
30:51
life. No asdaal good and noble Krishna, as a child I climbed his
30:56
knee. As a boy I called him father, hung upon him lovingly.
31:02
Paris's conquest dearly purchased by a mean, deceitful strife, paris crown and Jewel's
31:07
captor, one with Vishma's saintly life gravely answered nobl Krishna. Vishma falls by
31:17
close of day, victim to the cause of virtue. He himself had showed
31:21
the way. Dear or hated Bafoemena June, thou shalt fight and slay Wherefore
31:27
else the blood of nations hast the fort from day to day. Morning dawned
31:34
and mighty uchun of women, new young and bold drupet Monarchopanchal and bidout,
31:41
stern and old, bravet Is Tear and his brothers, clad in arms and
31:45
shining mail, rushed to Oar, where Wishma's standard gleamed and glittered in the
31:51
gale, proud to it and marked their onset and its fatal purpose. New
31:56
and his bravest man in chieftains against a fiery part and strew which composed a
32:01
stalwart monarch and Ttrona's mighty son, a tavaliant bowman. Creeper stemmed the battle
32:07
still unwon, and his younger fears. Dussasan, thirsting for the deathful war
32:14
against the helmutdwaring Uchun drew his mighty battle car as the high and rugged mountain
32:21
meets the angry ocean's sway, proud Dusassan war to Turjun in his wild and
32:25
onward way. And as myriad white winged sea birds swoop upon the darksome wave,
32:31
clouds of dirts and glistening lances drank the red blood of the brave other
32:37
warlike kurchieftains came the bravest and the best drown hself and Wagadata Monarch of the
32:44

33:12
a combat darkly closed the dubious fight. Thus they rose like clouds of summer,
33:17
glistening dots, like lightning plate darksome grewed the sky with arrows. Ticker
33:22
grew the gloomy shade. Cars went down and mailed horsemen, soldiers fell in
33:30
dread array. Elephants with white tusks broken and its mangled bodies lay Urgin and
33:37
the stalwart Veama, piercing through their countless foes, side by side, impelled
33:42
their chariots where the palm tree standard rose. Where the peerless ancient Vishma,
33:47
on the dark and fatal day, worrying with abandoned nations, still resistless,
33:52
held his way on he came, his palm tree standard, still the front
33:59
of battle. Neel and like sun from dark cloud's parting, Vishma burst on
34:04
Arjin's view, and his eyes brave virgin shaded at the all inspiring side.
34:09
Half he wished to turn for shelter from the chief of god like mind,
34:15
but bold Krishna drove his chariot, whispered unto him his plan urgent placed the
34:21
young Sigondi in the doabtful battle's van. Vishma viewed the bond of forces with
34:28
a calm, unmoving face, saw not Arjin's fair gandhib saw not Wema's mighty
34:34
mace. Smiled to see the young Secondi rushing to the battle's fore like the
34:40
foam upon the billow. When the mighty storm winds roar, Vishma thought of
34:45
ward he plaited, and the boat that he had sworn dropped his arms before
34:51
the warrior, who was but a female borne and the standard which no warrior
34:57
ever saw in bayse retreat idly stood upon the chariot tree with shade on Vishma's
35:02
seeth, and the flagstaff fell dishevered on the crushed and broken car as from
35:08
majure sky of midnight falls the Mateor's flaming star not by young Sikhandi's arrows,
35:15
Vishma's palm tary standard fell nat Sikandi's feeble lances. Did the peerless Vishma quail
35:22
true to oath. The bleeding chieftain torned, his darkening face away, torned
35:28
and fell. The sun declining marked the closing of the day and the dust.
35:34
The fatal battle truce came at the close of day Koruz and the silent
35:38
Panda Suwant where Vishma, dyeing lay Urgin wept as for a father weeps his
35:45
sad and soarwing son good. It is deer cours. The morning Kurukshetra's war
35:50
begun, stood t Yohanandi's brothers mantled with the gloom of grief. Foes,
35:57
like laughing brothers, sorrowed round the grate. The dying chief argunskin and pointed
36:02
arrows made the hero's dying bed, and in soft and gentle accents to to
36:07
Yudhan. Thus he said, listen unto my words to Udan, atter to
36:14
my latest breath, list to Vishma's dying counsel, and rever the voice of
36:20
death and this dread and doubtful battle. If thy stony heart can grieve,
36:25
save the chieftain's tomb to slaughter. Bid the fated nations, leave Grunt his
36:31
kingdom to it his deer righteous men, beloved of Heaven, keep thyonas Dina's
36:37
regians, be the hapless past forgiven vain alas the voice of Vishma, like
36:44
the voice of angels spoke hatred dearer than his life, flood in the proud
36:50
to you than woke. Darker grew the gloomy midnight, and the princess went
36:54
their way on his bed of pointed arrows. Wish malone and dying lay Kern,
37:01
though he loved not Vishma, whilst the chieftain lived in fame. Gently
37:07
to the dying Wishma in the midnight darkness came wish Ma Heart, the tread
37:13
of Kurn, and the opts glazing eye speak in love and speak in sadness,
37:17
and his bosom heaved a shy pride and envy. Noble curn Field our
37:24
warlike hearts with strife. This God ends with breadth departing, and we sinks
37:30
with fleeting life. More I have to tell thee Kern, but my parting
37:36
breath may fail. Feeble are my dying accents, and my pouch leaves are
37:39
pale urgent beats. Not Noble Kurn in the deeds of well or done,
37:46
nor excels in Bart and lineage. Kurn thou art Preta's son prettaw Bordie,
37:52
still unwedded, and the sun inspired thy Bart God born man, no mighty

38:05
deeued a maiden shame. And the driver not thy father, nirsty chief of
38:10
warlike faith, Urgenius thy broder Kerne. And this said fraternal war, seek
38:17
not liveblood of thy brother, nor against him, drive thy car vain alas
38:25
the voice of Vishmah, like a heavenly warning, spoke hatred dearer than his
38:30
liveblood in the vengeful Kerne woke. End of Book eighth
