- 0:00Speaker 1: Book Ie Ostradshan the Tournament. The scene of the epic
- 0:10Speaker 1: is the ancient kingdom of the Curus, which flourished along
- 0:13Speaker 1: the upper course of the Ganges, and the historical fact
- 0:17Speaker 1: on which the epic is based is a great war
- 0:20Speaker 1: which took place between the Curus and the neighboring tribe
- 0:23Speaker 1: the Panchals, in the thirteenth or fourteenth century before Christ.
- 0:29Speaker 1: According to the epic, Pandu and Triturastri, who was born blind,
- 0:33Speaker 1: were brothers. Pandu died early, and Triturastri became king of
- 0:37Speaker 1: the Curus and brought up the five sons of Pandu
- 0:41Speaker 1: along with his hundred sons. Yudistr, the eldest son of Pandu,
- 0:47Speaker 1: was a man of truth and piety. Weim the second,
- 0:51Speaker 1: was a stalwart fighter, and Urgin, the thirdsen distinguished himself
- 0:55Speaker 1: above all the other princes in arms. The two youngest brothers,
- 1:00Speaker 1: Nichol and Sahadeb, were twins. The Ludhan was the eldest
- 1:05Speaker 1: son of Teterastra and was jealous of his cousins, the
- 1:09Speaker 1: sons of Pandu. A tournament was held, and in the
- 1:13Speaker 1: course of the day, a warrior named Kern of unknown origin,
- 1:17Speaker 1: appeared on the scene and proved himself a wordy arrival
- 1:20Speaker 1: of Urjin. The rivalry between Urgin and Kern is the
- 1:24Speaker 1: leading tod of the epic, as the rivalry between Achilas
- 1:28Speaker 1: and Haktor is the leading toad of the Iliad. It
- 1:32Speaker 1: is only necessary to add that the sons of Pandu,
- 1:35Speaker 1: as well as Kern, were, like the heroes of Homer,
- 1:38Speaker 1: god born chiefs. Some God inspired the birth of each.
- 1:44Speaker 1: It is there was the son of Term or Virtue,
- 1:48Speaker 1: Viam of Vayu, or Wind, Urgin of Indra or Rain God.
- 1:53Speaker 1: The twin youngest were the sons of the Ashen twins,
- 1:57Speaker 1: and Kern was the son of Surya the Sun, but
- 2:01Speaker 1: was believed by himself and by all others, to be
- 2:03Speaker 1: the son of a simple chariot driver. The portion translated
- 2:08Speaker 1: in this book forms sections one thirty four to one
- 2:11Speaker 1: thirty seven of Book one of the original Epic in

- 51:35Speaker 1: war to holy Brahmins, for our realm and wealth and life.
- 51:39Speaker 1: Blood of prist or wise Preceptor shall not stain our
- 51:43Speaker 1: noble strife in the blood of sinful Drupet. We the
- 51:47Speaker 1: righteous laws maintain such disgrace in future ages. Monarchs shall
- 51:53Speaker 1: of meat again speak the Sweeter's tiger, hearted, iron handed,
- 51:58Speaker 1: bold and strong, fiercely bent on blood and vengeance, blindly
- 52:03Speaker 1: rose the maddened tron On they came, the angry monarchs,
- 52:08Speaker 1: armed for cruel, vengeful strife. Drupert miidst the Holy Brahmins, trembling,
- 52:13Speaker 1: fled for fear of life, like wild elephants of jungle,
- 52:18Speaker 1: rushed the kings upon their foes. Calm and stately, stalwart
- 52:22Speaker 1: Viam and the gallant Urgent rose with a wilder rage.
- 52:27Speaker 1: The monarchs viewed these brothers, crossed their path, rushed upon
- 52:31Speaker 1: the daring warriors, for to slay them in their red
- 52:36Speaker 1: weaponless was noble Vim, but in strength like Lightning's brand,
- 52:41Speaker 1: tore a tree with peerless prowse shook it as a
- 52:44Speaker 1: mighty end, and the full compelling warrior held the maze
- 52:49Speaker 1: of living ool, strong as death, with deadly weapons, facing
- 52:53Speaker 1: all his foes. He stood urgent too, which godlike valor
- 52:58Speaker 1: stood unmold, his bow in hand. Side by side, the
- 53:02Speaker 1: dauntless brothers faced the fierce and fiery band. Eight Krishna
- 53:10Speaker 1: to the rescue. Krishna knew the sons of Pandu, though
- 53:16Speaker 1: in robes of Brahmans, dressed to his elder baldave. Thus
- 53:20Speaker 1: his inner thoughts expressed marked at yot with bow and
- 53:24Speaker 1: arrow and with lion's lordly gate. He is Helmut wearing urgent.
- 53:29Speaker 1: Greatest warrior meets the great mark his mate with three
- 53:34Speaker 1: uprooted how emits the sweeter band save the tiger rested wham.
- 53:38Speaker 1: None can claim such strength of hand, and the youth
- 53:43Speaker 1: with eyes like Lotus, he who left the court ruhile
- 53:47Speaker 1: he is pious soldidistyr man without a sin or guile,
- 53:52Speaker 1: and the others by idistr Pando's twin born sons. A
- 53:56Speaker 1: day with his sons, darighte Sprita escaped death and danger
- 54:01Speaker 1: lay for the jealous, fierce do Juthan darkly skimmed their
- 54:05Speaker 1: death by fire, but the righteous son Sapandu escaped his
- 54:10Speaker 1: unrelenting eye. Christna rose amidst the monarchs, strove the tumult
- 54:16Speaker 1: to appease, and unto the angry suitors, spake in words
- 54:20Speaker 1: of righteous peace. Monarchs bowed to Krishna's mandate, left Pancharl's
- 54:27Speaker 1: festive land. Urgent took the beauteous princess, gently laid her
- 54:32Speaker 1: by the hand, and of book two, Book three Rajasuir
- 54:42Speaker 1: the Imperial Sacrifice. A curious incident followed the bridle of Dropady.
- 54:50Speaker 1: The five sons Sapandu returned with her to the potter's house,
- 54:54Speaker 1: where they were living on alms according to the custom
- 54:57Speaker 1: of Brahman's and the brothers reported to their mother that
- 55:01Speaker 1: they had received a great gift on that day and
- 55:05Speaker 1: joye the gift in common, replied their mother, not knowing
- 55:09Speaker 1: what it was, and as the mother's meant that it
- 55:12Speaker 1: cannot be disregarded, Dropad became the common wife after five brothers.
- 55:18Speaker 1: The real significance of this strange lism is unknown. The
- 55:22Speaker 1: custom of brothers marrying a common wife prevails to this
- 55:25Speaker 1: day in Tibet and among the hill tribes of the Himalayas,
- 55:30Speaker 1: but it never prevailed among the Aryan Hindus of India.
- 55:34Speaker 1: It is distinctly prohibited in their laws and institutes, and
- 55:37Speaker 1: finds no sanction in their literature ancient or modern. The
- 55:42Speaker 1: lezend in the Mahavadad of brothers marrying a wife in
- 55:45Speaker 1: common stands alone and without a parallel in Hindu traditions
- 55:49Speaker 1: and literature. Judging from the main incidence of the epic,
- 55:54Speaker 1: Dropade might rather be regarded as the wife of the
- 55:57Speaker 1: eldest brother Yudister Wema had already madd himself to a
- 56:01Speaker 1: female in a forest, by whom he had a son, Kathodkuch,
- 56:05Speaker 1: who distinguished himself in war. Later on, Arjin too married
- 56:10Speaker 1: the sister of Krishna shortly after Dropadi's bridle, and had
- 56:14Speaker 1: by her a son, a Vimenu, who was one of
- 56:17Speaker 1: the heroes of the war. On the other hand, yidishtyrituk
- 56:21Speaker 1: to himself no wife save Dropathy, as he was crowned
- 56:25Speaker 1: to Judistr in the Ajesua or Imperial Sacrifice. Notwithstanding the leason. Therefore,
- 56:31Speaker 1: Dropody might be regarded as wedded to Jutistir, though won
- 56:35Speaker 1: by the scale of Urjin, and this assumption would be
- 56:38Speaker 1: in keeping within the customs and laws ancient and modern.
- 56:42Speaker 1: The jealous Didudan heard that his contrivance to kill his
- 56:46Speaker 1: cousins at Valnabad had failed. He also heard that they
- 56:50Speaker 1: had found a powerful friend in Dropad and had formed
- 56:53Speaker 1: an alliance with him. It was no longer possible to
- 56:56Speaker 1: keep them from their rightful inheritance. The poor kingdom was
- 57:00Speaker 1: accordingly powerceledd Urutan retained the eastern and richer portion with
- 57:05Speaker 1: its ancient capital as Sinopur and the Ganges, and the
- 57:09Speaker 1: sons Sapandu were given the western portion of the Germanah,
- 57:13Speaker 1: which was dan A forest and the wilderness the Sun.
- 57:17Speaker 1: Sapandu cleared the forest and built a new capital in repressed,
- 57:21Speaker 1: the supposed ruins of which near modern Delhi are still
- 57:25Speaker 1: pointed out to the curious traveler Yodistir. The eldest of
- 57:30Speaker 1: the five sons, Sapandu, now king of Interpressed, resolved to
- 57:34Speaker 1: perform the Rajasuya sacrifice, which was a formal assumption of
- 57:38Speaker 1: the imperial title over all the kings of ancient India.
- 57:42Speaker 1: His brothers went out with troops in all directions to
- 57:46Speaker 1: proclaim his supremacy over all surrounding kings. Jeacanth, the powerful
- 57:51Speaker 1: and semi civilized king of magad or South Beihar, opposed
- 57:55Speaker 1: and was killed, but other monarchs recognized the supremacy of
- 57:59Speaker 1: Judis and came to the sacrifice which tributes. King Tritashtra
- 58:04Speaker 1: and his sons, now reigning at Hastinapur, were politely invited
- 58:08Speaker 1: to take a share in the performance of the sacrifice.
- 58:13Speaker 1: The potion translated in this book forms sections thirty three
- 58:16Speaker 1: to thirty six and section forty four of book two
- 58:20Speaker 1: of the original one. The assemblage of Kings ancient halls
- 58:29Speaker 1: of Praudhastna mirrored bright on Gangha's wave. Detre came, the
- 58:34Speaker 1: son of Pandu Young Nakol, true and brave, came to

- 1:01:23Speaker 1: circled round the royal halls. Nets of gold blazed the casements.

- 1:07:16Speaker 1: and he saw in them embordered beings of the upper sky.
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: And in Loda, said Krishna, saw the highest of the high,
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: saw the ancient Narayon great creations, primal cows, who had
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: sent the gods as monarchs to offold His righteous laws,
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: battle for the cause of virtue, perish in a deadly war,

- 1:24:02Speaker 1: came back from the imperial sacrifice, feeled duty jealousy against Ittistir,
- 1:24:06Speaker 1: and devised plans to effect his fall. Sakuni, Prince of Gandhar,
- 1:24:11Speaker 1: shared Deludhan's hatred towards the sons of Pandu and helped
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: him in his dark scheme. It is here with all
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: his piety and righteousness had one weakness, the love of gambling,
- 1:24:22Speaker 1: which was one of the visiting scenes of the monarchs
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: of the day. Sakuni was an expert at false dyes,
- 1:24:28Speaker 1: and the challenged to Tishtir, and it is here held
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: it a point of honor not to decline such a challenge.
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: He came from his new capital in Repressed to Hastinapur,
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: the capital of Dourudan, with his mother and brothers and robody,

- 1:25:17Speaker 1: Detastri released them from actuous slavery, but the five brothers
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: retired to forests as homeless exiles. Portions of section sixty

- 1:49:50Speaker 1: Patipre Tamahati woman's love true to the world. The sons
- 1:49:55Speaker 1: of Pandu went to Dropody into exile and past twelve
- 1:49:59Speaker 1: years in the wilderness, and many were the incidents which
- 1:50:02Speaker 1: checkered their forest life. Krishna, who had stood by Astor
- 1:50:06Speaker 1: in his prosperity, now came to visit him in his adversity.
- 1:50:10Speaker 1: He counseled Dropady in her distress and gave good advice
- 1:50:13Speaker 1: to the brothers. Dropardy, with a woman's pride and anger,
- 1:50:16Speaker 1: still thought of her wrongs and insults, and Argidtistyr to
- 1:50:20Speaker 1: disregard the conditions of exile and recover his kingdom. Viim
- 1:50:24Speaker 1: too was of the same mind, but it Istre would
- 1:50:26Speaker 1: not be moved from his plighted Ward, the great Recivias
- 1:50:30Speaker 1: came to Visitedistyr and advised Arjin great Archer, as he
- 1:50:34Speaker 1: was to acquire celestial arms by penance and worship. Arjin
- 1:50:38Speaker 1: followed the advice, met the Godziba in the guise of
- 1:50:41Speaker 1: a hunter, pleased him by his praise in combat, and
- 1:50:44Speaker 1: obtained his blessings and the Passopato weapon. Arjin then went
- 1:50:48Speaker 1: to Indras heaven and obtained other celestial arms in the Meanwhile, Douryutan,
- 1:50:54Speaker 1: not content with sending his cousins to exile, wished to
- 1:50:58Speaker 1: humiliate them still more by eppi hearing before them in
- 1:51:01Speaker 1: all his regal power and splendor. Matters, however, turned out
- 1:51:04Speaker 1: differently from what he expected, and he became involved in
- 1:51:08Speaker 1: a quarrel with some gun herbs, a class of aerial beings.
- 1:51:12Speaker 1: Diliutan was taken captive by them, and it was the
- 1:51:15Speaker 1: Ponda brothers who released him from his captivity and allowed
- 1:51:18Speaker 1: him to return to his kingdom in peace. This act
- 1:51:21Speaker 1: of generosity rankled in his bosom and deepened his hat.
- 1:51:25Speaker 1: Read Jadreth, king of Sindhu or Indus country, and a
- 1:51:30Speaker 1: friend and a lie of Bludan, came to the Oods
- 1:51:33Speaker 1: and in the absence of the Panda brothers carried off Dropady.
- 1:51:36Speaker 1: The Pandabs, however, pursued the king, justised him for his misconduct,
- 1:51:40Speaker 1: and rescued Dropady. Still more interesting than these various incidents
- 1:51:46Speaker 1: are the tales and listens with which this book is replete.
- 1:51:49Speaker 1: Great scenes came to see history in his exile and
- 1:51:52Speaker 1: narrated to him listens of ancient times and of former kings.
- 1:51:56Speaker 1: One of these beautiful episodes, the Tale of nal and Dament,
- 1:52:00Speaker 1: has been translated into graceful English Wars by Dean Milman
- 1:52:04Speaker 1: and is known to many English readers. The lizend of Augustia,
- 1:52:08Speaker 1: who drained the ocean dry, of Parasudam, a Brahman who
- 1:52:11Speaker 1: killed the Kshatriyas, of the art of Fagdit, who brought
- 1:52:15Speaker 1: down the Ganges from the skies to the earth of Manu,
- 1:52:18Speaker 1: and the universal deluge of Vishnu and various other gods
- 1:52:22Speaker 1: of Rama and his deeds which formed the subject of
- 1:52:25Speaker 1: the Epigramayana. These and various other lessons have been interwoven
- 1:52:29Speaker 1: in the account of the forest life of the Pandevs
- 1:52:32Speaker 1: and make it a veritable storouse of ancient Hindu tales
- 1:52:35Speaker 1: and traditions. Among these various lizons and tales, I have
- 1:52:39Speaker 1: selected one which is singular and striking. The great truth,
- 1:52:43Speaker 1: proclaimed under the thin guise of an Eastern allegory, is
- 1:52:46Speaker 1: that a true woman's love is not conquered by death.
- 1:52:50Speaker 1: The story is known by Hindu women high and low,
- 1:52:52Speaker 1: rich and poor, in all parts of India, and on
- 1:52:55Speaker 1: a certain night in the year, millions of Hindu women
- 1:52:58Speaker 1: celebrated rite in honor of the woman whose love was
- 1:53:01Speaker 1: not conquered by death. Lizends like these, though they take
- 1:53:04Speaker 1: away from the unity and consciousness of the epic, impart
- 1:53:08Speaker 1: a moral instruction to the millions of India, the value
- 1:53:11Speaker 1: of which cannot be overestimated. The portion translated in this
- 1:53:15Speaker 1: book form sections two ninety two and two ninety three,
- 1:53:18Speaker 1: a part of section two ninety four, and sections two
- 1:53:22Speaker 1: ninety five and two ninety six of book three of
- 1:53:24Speaker 1: the original text one forest life in the dark and
- 1:53:32Speaker 1: pathless forest longed upon the broader strait in the bosom
- 1:53:36Speaker 1: of the jungle with a fair drop of the staid,
- 1:53:39Speaker 1: and they killed the forest. Red deer hewed the gnarled
- 1:53:43Speaker 1: forest wood from the streams she fetched the water, cooked
- 1:53:46Speaker 1: the humble daily food. In the morn she swept the
- 1:53:50Speaker 1: cottage lit the cheerful fire at eve, but at night,
- 1:53:54Speaker 1: in lonesome silence of the Roman's heart would grieve. Insults
- 1:53:59Speaker 1: rankled in her bosom, and her tresses were unbound. So
- 1:54:02Speaker 1: she vowed till fitting vengeance. Had the bays insalters found
- 1:54:07Speaker 1: oft When evening Sage descended, mantling over the wood and
- 1:54:11Speaker 1: lee when Dropody by the cottage cooked the food beneath
- 1:54:15Speaker 1: the tree. Riche's came to good. It Istr set beside
- 1:54:19Speaker 1: his evening fires. Many old in tails recited lizens of

- 1:54:30Speaker 1: the memories of his shame. Pardon Ricchi said it isture.
- 1:54:35Speaker 1: If unbidden tears will start. But the woods of fair
- 1:54:38Speaker 1: Dropody grieve a banished husband's heart by her tears. The
- 1:54:44Speaker 1: saintly women broke my bondage worse than death. By my scenes,
- 1:54:48Speaker 1: she suffers exile and misfortunes, freezing breath thust Thou says
- 1:54:53Speaker 1: in Saint lu RICHI know of wife, are Roman born

- 1:55:25Speaker 1: In the country of the Madras, lived the king in

- 1:55:36Speaker 1: in the court and Harmit's den, sacrificer to the bright

- 1:55:46Speaker 1: son or daughter? Had he none old in ears and
- 1:55:49Speaker 1: sunk in anguish, and his days were almost done? Vows
- 1:55:53Speaker 1: took and holy penance and with pious rules conformed spare

- 1:56:03Speaker 1: hymn Savitri to the God's oblatians gave through the lifelong day.
- 1:56:08Speaker 1: He passed it on, complaining meek and brave. Here by
- 1:56:12Speaker 1: ear he gathered virtue, rose in merit and in might
- 1:56:16Speaker 1: till the Goddess of Savitriy smiled upon his sacred ride
- 1:56:21Speaker 1: from the fire upon the altar, which a holy radiance
- 1:56:24Speaker 1: flung in the form of beauteous maiden, Goddess of sabatri

- 1:57:58Speaker 1: some promise gave at last, as the moon each night increased,
- 1:58:02Speaker 1: chasing dark some nightly gloom grew the unborn babe in
- 1:58:06Speaker 1: splendor in its happy mother's womb, and in fullness of
- 1:58:11Speaker 1: the season came a girl with lotus eye, father's hope
- 1:58:15Speaker 1: and joy of murther gifts of kindly gods on high,
- 1:58:18Speaker 1: and the king performed its bartrides with a glad and

- 1:58:24Speaker 1: their wishes good and kind. As Savitri prayer Maiden had
- 1:58:29Speaker 1: the beauteous offspring given Brahmans named the child Savitri. Holy
- 1:58:34Speaker 1: gifts of bounteous heaven grew a child in brighter beauty,
- 1:58:39Speaker 1: like a goddess from above, and each passing season added treasure, sweetness,
- 1:58:44Speaker 1: deeper love came with youth, its lovelier graces, as the
- 1:58:49Speaker 1: buds deer leaves unfold, slender, western rounded bosom image as

- 1:58:59Speaker 1: in all the land, princely suitor, struck with splendor, ventured
- 1:59:02Speaker 1: not to seek her hand. Once upon a time, it happened,
- 1:59:07Speaker 1: on a bright and festive day, fresh from bat the
- 1:59:10Speaker 1: beauteous maiden to the altar came to pray, and with
- 1:59:14Speaker 1: cakes and pure libations, duly fed the sacred flame. Then,
- 1:59:18Speaker 1: like three, in heavenly radiance to her royal father came
- 1:59:23Speaker 1: bowed unto his feet in silence, sacred flowers beside him laid,
- 1:59:27Speaker 1: and her hands she folded meekly, sweetly, her obeisance maid
- 1:59:33Speaker 1: with her father's pride upon her gazed the ruler of
- 1:59:36Speaker 1: the land. But a strain of sadness fingered for no
- 1:59:39Speaker 1: sweeter claimed her hand. Daughter whispered, us supathy gnaw methings.
- 1:59:45Speaker 1: The time is come, thou shouldst choose a princely suitor,
- 1:59:49Speaker 1: grace you royal husband's home. Chose thyself a noble husband,
- 1:59:53Speaker 1: wordy of thy noble hand. Chose a true and upright

- 2:00:14Speaker 1: father sees his girl in wedded state, that the deity
- 2:00:18Speaker 1: loving husband watches over his consort's ways, that the deity
- 2:00:22Speaker 1: loving offspring dance his mother's widowed days. Therefore, choose a
- 2:00:27Speaker 1: loving husband, daughter of my house and love, So thy father,
- 2:00:31Speaker 1: are no censure or from man or God's above fair
- 2:00:36Speaker 1: Sabitri bowed unto him, and for parting placings prayed. Then
- 2:00:40Speaker 1: she left her father's palace and in distant regions trade
- 2:00:44Speaker 1: with her garden aged courtiers, whom her watchful father sent
- 2:00:49Speaker 1: mounted on her golden chariot unto silver woodlands wend. Then
- 2:00:53Speaker 1: unpleasant oods in jungle rendered. She from day to day
- 2:00:57Speaker 1: unto Ashram's hermitages. Pious hearted held her way oft she
- 2:01:02Speaker 1: stayed in holy teeth, thus washed by sacred limpid streams.
- 2:01:06Speaker 1: Food she gave unto the hungry, whilst beyond their fondest dreams,
- 2:01:11Speaker 1: many days and months are over. And it once did
- 2:01:14Speaker 1: so befall, when the king and Rechinared settled in the
- 2:01:17Speaker 1: royal hall. From her journeys near and distant, and from
- 2:01:22Speaker 1: places known to fame, Fair Sabatry, with the courtiers to
- 2:01:25Speaker 1: her father's palace, came, came and saw her royal father
- 2:01:30Speaker 1: rechinnaad by his seat, bent her head in salutation, bowed
- 2:01:34Speaker 1: unto their holy feet tree the faded bridegroom. Whence comes
- 2:01:42Speaker 1: she so nared questioned whether was Sabitri led wherefore to
- 2:01:48Speaker 1: a happy husband? Had Sabaitery not been wet nay to
- 2:01:53Speaker 1: choose her lord and husband? So the virtuous monarch said,
- 2:01:57Speaker 1: Fair Sabitry long had wandered, and the holy Tuteo state
- 2:02:02Speaker 1: maiden speak unto the Rishi and thy choice and secret tale.
- 2:02:07Speaker 1: Then a blush suffused her forehead, soft and slow, her
- 2:02:10Speaker 1: actions fell listen. Father Salva's monarch was of old, a
- 2:02:16Speaker 1: king of might, righteous hearted, deemoth sina feeble now and
- 2:02:20Speaker 1: void of sight. Foeman robbed him of his kingdom. When
- 2:02:24Speaker 1: in age he lost his side, and from town and
- 2:02:27Speaker 1: spacious empire, was the monarch forced to fly with his
- 2:02:32Speaker 1: queen and utius infant did the feeble monarch stray, and
- 2:02:36Speaker 1: the jungle was his palace. Darksome was his weary way.
- 2:02:40Speaker 1: Holy vows assumed the monarch, and in penance passed his
- 2:02:44Speaker 1: life in the wild woods, noursed his infant, and which
- 2:02:47Speaker 1: wild fruits fed his wife. Years have gone in rised panance,
- 2:02:52Speaker 1: and that child is now a youth. He might choose
- 2:02:55Speaker 1: my lord and husband. Saith theban soul of truth, thoughtful,
- 2:03:00Speaker 1: was d rishinarad doleful were the words he said. Said
- 2:03:05Speaker 1: disaster waits savigery if disraalute she wed truthful, loving is
- 2:03:11Speaker 1: his father, Truthful is the royal dame. Truth and virtue
- 2:03:15Speaker 1: ruled his actions. Saith theaban is his name. Steinsey loved
- 2:03:20Speaker 1: in days of boyhood, and to pain damn was his joy.
- 2:03:24Speaker 1: Hence they called him yng tidasuer odd beloving gallant boy,
- 2:03:29Speaker 1: but opious arted monarch fair sabatry hath ensued court at
- 2:03:34Speaker 1: fate and sad disaster in that noble gallant yth tell
- 2:03:39Speaker 1: me questioned asopathy, for I may not guess that thought.
- 2:03:43Speaker 1: Wherefore is my daughter's accent with a sad disaster? Trad
- 2:03:48Speaker 1: is the youth of noble lassir, gifted in the gift Sabart,
- 2:03:52Speaker 1: blessed to t wisdom, prowess, passions, daring, dauntless in his heart.
- 2:03:57Speaker 1: Suya's lassir in him shine it So ud rishian aard,
- 2:04:00Speaker 1: said Braus, But his wisdom dwelleth in the young Saint
- 2:04:04Speaker 1: Tevan's head, like Mahindra, in his prowess, and in passions
- 2:04:09Speaker 1: like the art yet O king, A set disaster marks
- 2:04:12Speaker 1: the gentle youth from birth. Tell me RICHI then thy reason,
- 2:04:18Speaker 1: So the enxious monarch cried, what a youth so great
- 2:04:21Speaker 1: and gifted may dismayed be not alied? He is sective
- 2:04:25Speaker 1: and free in bounty, gentle hearted, full of grace, duely
- 2:04:29Speaker 1: orsed in sacred knowledge, fair in mind and fair in face,
- 2:04:34Speaker 1: free in gifts like Rerantideva, So the holy Rishi said,
- 2:04:39Speaker 1: versed in lare like monarch Sibe, who all ancient monarchs
- 2:04:43Speaker 1: led like Jaijati, open hearted and like Chandra in his grace,
- 2:04:49Speaker 1: like the handsome heavenly ah Swines, fair and radiant in
- 2:04:52Speaker 1: his face, meek and grace, with passion virtue. He controls
- 2:04:57Speaker 1: his noble mind, modesty in his kindly actions, true to
- 2:05:01Speaker 1: friends and ever kind. And the hermits of the forest
- 2:05:06Speaker 1: praise him for his righteous truth. Gnatless King, thy daughter
- 2:05:10Speaker 1: may not wed this noble hearted Yet tell me, richie,
- 2:05:15Speaker 1: said the monarch, for the sense from me is he
- 2:05:19Speaker 1: has this princed some pathal blemish. Wherefore is this match
- 2:05:22Speaker 1: for weed? Fatal fault, exclaimed Drishi fault that wife at
- 2:05:28Speaker 1: all his grace fault. That human power, nor a fraught right,
- 2:05:32Speaker 1: nor penance can efface fetal fault or distined sorrow, For
- 2:05:38Speaker 1: it is decreed on high on this day. Twelve month later,
- 2:05:41Speaker 1: this ill fated prince will die. Shook the startled king,
- 2:05:45Speaker 1: in terror and in fear and trembling, cried, unto short
- 2:05:49Speaker 1: lived fated bridegroom, Never my child shall be alive comes
- 2:05:53Speaker 1: of it. Read your loved maiden, choose another happier lord. Rishia'rath,
- 2:05:58Speaker 1: speak at wisdom, list unto his holy word. Every grace
- 2:06:02Speaker 1: and every virtue is effaced by cruel faith. On this day,
- 2:06:06Speaker 1: a twelve months later, leaves this prince his mortal staed
- 2:06:11Speaker 1: father answered, does the maiden soft and sad her accents?
- 2:06:14Speaker 1: Fell I have heard thy honored mandate wholly innhered counsels
- 2:06:19Speaker 1: well pardon witless maidens feelings. But beneath the eye of heaven,
- 2:06:24Speaker 1: only once a maiden choose it twice, her trot may
- 2:06:27Speaker 1: not be given long his life are be it narrow
- 2:06:30Speaker 1: and his virtues great or none? Brave, said Tevan, is
- 2:06:34Speaker 1: my husband, he my heart, and trot hath won what
- 2:06:38Speaker 1: a maiden's heart had chosen, that a maiden's lives conface
- 2:06:42Speaker 1: true to him, Thy poor savagery goes into the wilderness.
- 2:06:47Speaker 1: Monarch uttered, dend Ricchi fixed is she in mind and
- 2:06:51Speaker 1: heart from a trot? The true savagery never never will
- 2:06:55Speaker 1: depart more than mortal share of virtue, unto said Tevan
- 2:06:59Speaker 1: is given. Let the true maid wad her chosen, leave
- 2:07:02Speaker 1: the rest to gracious Heaven Ricci and preceptor Holy. So
- 2:07:08Speaker 1: the hoping monarch prayth have an effort. All future evils
- 2:07:12Speaker 1: and diamond deities are paid. Narad wished them joy and gladness.
- 2:07:17Speaker 1: Blessed the loving ut and maid forest hermits on their wedding.
- 2:07:21Speaker 1: Every favent blessing laid for overtaken by faith, twelve months
- 2:07:30Speaker 1: in the darksome forest by her true and chosen lord,
- 2:07:34Speaker 1: leaved the Sabaitry, served his parents by her tot and
- 2:07:37Speaker 1: deed and word, park of trees supplied, her garments drapped
- 2:07:41Speaker 1: upon her bosom fare order red cloth as in Ashram's
- 2:07:45Speaker 1: Holy women love to wear, and I is at queen.
- 2:07:49Speaker 1: She tended with a fond and filial pride, served the
- 2:07:52Speaker 1: old and sightless monarch like a daughter by his side,
- 2:07:57Speaker 1: and it love and gentle sweetness pleased her husband than
- 2:08:00Speaker 1: her lord. But in secret night and morning pondered still
- 2:08:04Speaker 1: on narred sword, ne'er came the fatal morning by the
- 2:08:09Speaker 1: holy nard told fair Sabitri reckoned daily, and her heart
- 2:08:13Speaker 1: was steel and cold. Three short days remaining only, and
- 2:08:18Speaker 1: she took a vow severe of tree Ratra, three knights penance,
- 2:08:22Speaker 1: holy fasts, and wasels drear of Savitri's rized penance hurt
- 2:08:28Speaker 1: the king with anxious war. Speak to her in loving accents,
- 2:08:32Speaker 1: so the vow she might forego hert the penance gentle
- 2:08:36Speaker 1: daughter and Diomen's limbs are frail. After three nights, fast
- 2:08:41Speaker 1: sun vissels saw that tender helps may fail. Be not anxious,
- 2:08:46Speaker 1: loving father, meekly does Savitry prayed, penance, I have undertaken,
- 2:08:51Speaker 1: will unti the gods be made much misdoubting than the
- 2:08:55Speaker 1: monarch gave his sad and slow assent, held it fast
- 2:08:59Speaker 1: and once in teardrops lonesome nights, Sabbitry spent. Nearer came
- 2:09:05Speaker 1: the fatal morning, and tomorrow he shall die dark, dark
- 2:09:09Speaker 1: hours of nightly silence. Tearless, slipless is her eye, dauns
- 2:09:15Speaker 1: that dread and faded morning, said Sabatry, Bloodless, brave prayed
- 2:09:20Speaker 1: her foregent prayers in silence to the fire, oblatiens cave
- 2:09:25Speaker 1: bowed onto the forest, brompence to the parents kind and
- 2:09:29Speaker 1: good joined her hands in salutation and in reverence. Silence
- 2:09:33Speaker 1: too with the usual morning blazing with amazed downighveror b
- 2:09:39Speaker 1: anchorites and aged brahmins blessed Sabatry fervently. All that blessing
- 2:09:46Speaker 1: fell upon her like the rain on thirsty air. Struggling
- 2:09:49Speaker 1: hope inspired her bosom as she drank those accents fair
- 2:09:54Speaker 1: but returned the dark remembrance of the rishinnard sword pale.
- 2:09:58Speaker 1: She watched the creeping sombimbs mused upon her fated lord daughter.
- 2:10:04Speaker 1: Now thou fastest over. So the loving parents said, take
- 2:10:09Speaker 1: thy diet after pennance, for thy morning prayers are prayed. Pardon, father,
- 2:10:15Speaker 1: said Savagery, let this other day be done. Auntshet Teodrovs
- 2:10:19Speaker 1: filled her eyelids glistened in the morning sun. Young Sathaban,
- 2:10:24Speaker 1: tall and stately ponder six on shoulder hand for the
- 2:10:28Speaker 1: distant darksome jungle, issued forth, serene and strong. But unto
- 2:10:34Speaker 1: him came Savagery, and in sweetest exson sprayed as upon
- 2:10:38Speaker 1: his manly bosom. Gently she her forehead laid long. I
- 2:10:43Speaker 1: wish to see the jungle where steals, not the solar ray.
- 2:10:47Speaker 1: Take me to the darksome forest. Husband, let me go
- 2:10:50Speaker 1: to day, come not love, he sweetly answered, with a
- 2:10:54Speaker 1: loving husband's care. Thou art all unews to labor forest paths.
- 2:10:58Speaker 1: Thou mayst not dare, and which reason fastens visels pell
- 2:11:03Speaker 1: and bloodless is thy face, and my steps are weak
- 2:11:06Speaker 1: and feeble. Jungle paths thou mayst not trays, fasts and
- 2:11:11Speaker 1: vissels make me stronger, said the wife, with wifely pride. Tile,
- 2:11:16Speaker 1: I shall not feel nor langer when my lord is
- 2:11:19Speaker 1: by my side, for I feel a woman's longing with
- 2:11:22Speaker 1: my lord to trust away, grant me husband, they were
- 2:11:26Speaker 1: gracious with deal, let me go to day. Answered. Then
- 2:11:30Speaker 1: the loving husband, as his hands in horsey wolf, ask
- 2:11:34Speaker 1: permission from my parents in the trackless roots to row.
- 2:11:39Speaker 1: Then Sabitry to the monarch urgs her longing strange request.
- 2:11:43Speaker 1: After dutyous slutation, does her humble prayer addressed to the jungle,
- 2:11:49Speaker 1: goes my husband, peel and the fruit to seek. I
- 2:11:52Speaker 1: would follow if my mother and my loving father speak
- 2:11:57Speaker 1: twelve months from this narrow ostrum, had Sabitri's stepped nostrad
- 2:12:01Speaker 1: in this cottage true and faithful, ever, had Sabbatry stayed
- 2:12:06Speaker 1: for the sacrifice, el feel whence my lord is lonesome way,
- 2:12:09Speaker 1: please my kind and loving parents. I'd follow him to day,
- 2:12:15Speaker 1: never since her wedding morning. So the loving king replied,
- 2:12:19Speaker 1: wish sure, taught Savagery whispered for a boon or object,
- 2:12:22Speaker 1: shiede daughter, their request is granted. Safely in the forest rome,
- 2:12:28Speaker 1: safely with thy lord and husband, seek again thy cottage home.
- 2:12:34Speaker 1: Bowing to her loving parents, did the fair Sabitry part
- 2:12:38Speaker 1: smile upon her pallid features anguish in her inmost heart.
- 2:12:43Speaker 1: Round her, silver and green ooods blossomed bennet a cloudless
- 2:12:47Speaker 1: Indian sky, Flocks of peafowls, gorgeous plumaged flew before her
- 2:12:52Speaker 1: wondering eye. Woodland reels and crystal nalas gently rolled over
- 2:12:57Speaker 1: rocky bed flower decked heels in teevy brightness, towering glittered overhead,
- 2:13:04Speaker 1: birds of sung and beauteous feeder trilled a note in
- 2:13:07Speaker 1: every grove. Sweeter accents fell upon her from her husband's
- 2:13:11Speaker 1: leaves of love. Still with thoughtful eye, Savitry watched her
- 2:13:16Speaker 1: dear and faded lord. Flail of grief was in her bosom,
- 2:13:20Speaker 1: but her pale lips shaped no word, and she listened
- 2:13:24Speaker 1: to her husband, still on ensious thought, in tent cleft
- 2:13:28Speaker 1: in two her dropping bosom as in silence, Still she
- 2:13:32Speaker 1: went caylu togethered wild fruits, did the prince's basket feel
- 2:13:38Speaker 1: hewed the interlaced branches with his might, and practiced scale
- 2:13:43Speaker 1: till the drop stood on his forehead. Wary was his
- 2:13:46Speaker 1: aching head faint He came onto Savagery, and in faltering accents, said,
- 2:13:52Speaker 1: cruel ache is on my forehead fond than ever faithful wife,
- 2:13:57Speaker 1: and I feel a hundred needles pierce me and torment
- 2:14:00Speaker 1: my life, and my feeblehood steps falter, and my senses
- 2:14:05Speaker 1: seemed to reel. Fain would I beside the linger for
- 2:14:08Speaker 1: a sleep? Dot over misty hall with a violent spechless terror,
- 2:14:14Speaker 1: pale Sabitry held her lord on her left his head.
- 2:14:17Speaker 1: She rested as she laid him on the sword. Narah's
- 2:14:21Speaker 1: father was remembered as she watched her husband's head, burning
- 2:14:26Speaker 1: lip and pallid forehead, and the dark and creeping shade
- 2:14:30Speaker 1: clasped him in her bathing bosom, kissed his lips with
- 2:14:33Speaker 1: panting breadth. Darker grewed alonesome forest, and he slept asleep
- 2:14:39Speaker 1: of dead five triumph over faith In the bosom of
- 2:14:49Speaker 1: the shadows rose a vision, dark and red shape of
- 2:14:53Speaker 1: gloom in inky garments, and the crown was on his head,
- 2:14:57Speaker 1: gleaming form of sable splendor, blod dread was his sparkling eye,
- 2:15:02Speaker 1: and the fatal news he carried cream and godlike dark
- 2:15:05Speaker 1: and high, and he stood in solemn silence, looked in
- 2:15:10Speaker 1: silence on the dead, and Sabatry on the greensword gently
- 2:15:14Speaker 1: placed her husband's head, and the tremor shook savitry. But
- 2:15:19Speaker 1: a woman's love is strong with her hands upon her bosom.
- 2:15:23Speaker 1: Thus he spake with quivering tongue. More than mortal is
- 2:15:27Speaker 1: thy glory and irradiant. God that thou be, tell me
- 2:15:31Speaker 1: what bright name thou bearest, and thy message unto me
- 2:15:36Speaker 1: know me. Thus responded I Yamah, mighty owner of the
- 2:15:40Speaker 1: dead Mordal's living early mentioned to my darksome realms are
- 2:15:44Speaker 1: lad since each woman's full affection, thou hast loved thy
- 2:15:48Speaker 1: husband dear. Hence before thee faithful woman, Yama doth inform
- 2:15:53Speaker 1: a peer. But his days and love surrendered, and he
- 2:15:57Speaker 1: leaves his faithful wife. In this news, I bind and
- 2:16:00Speaker 1: carry spark of his immortal life. Virtue raced his life
- 2:16:05Speaker 1: and action. Spotless was his princely heart. Hence for him
- 2:16:09Speaker 1: I came in person. Princess led thy husband part Yama
- 2:16:15Speaker 1: from said Leevan's body, pale and bloodless, cold and dumb,
- 2:16:19Speaker 1: drew the vital spark perusia smaller than the human thumb.
- 2:16:25Speaker 1: In his news, that sparky fastened, silence wented his darksome
- 2:16:28Speaker 1: way left the body shorn of Lusser to its reasit
- 2:16:32Speaker 1: cold decay southward went to dark hued Yama with the
- 2:16:37Speaker 1: youth's immortal life and for woman's love abided. Followed Steel
- 2:16:42Speaker 1: the fateful wife, turn Savitri outspeak Yama, for thy husband loved,
- 2:16:48Speaker 1: and last do the rights due unto mortals by their
- 2:16:52Speaker 1: fate predestined crost for thy wifely dut diseases followed not
- 2:16:57Speaker 1: in fruitless war, and no furtherly creature may with monarchyam
- 2:17:02Speaker 1: my go, But I may not choose, but follow where
- 2:17:05Speaker 1: thou takest my husband's life, For eternal law divides not
- 2:17:10Speaker 1: loving man and faithful wife. For my love and my
- 2:17:13Speaker 1: affection for a woman's sacred war grants me in thy
- 2:17:17Speaker 1: god like Marcy. Further Still, with him, I go fourfold
- 2:17:22Speaker 1: our human duties, force to study holy lore, tend to
- 2:17:26Speaker 1: leave as good householders, feed the hungry at our door,
- 2:17:30Speaker 1: tend to pass our days in penance, lust to fix
- 2:17:33Speaker 1: our thoughts above, but the final goal of virtue, it
- 2:17:37Speaker 1: is truth and deathless love. True and holy are thy precepts.
- 2:17:43Speaker 1: Listening Yama may reply, and they fill my heart with gladness,
- 2:17:47Speaker 1: and to pious purpose high I will bless thee fair sarbitry,
- 2:17:52Speaker 1: but the dead come not to life. Ask for otherbon
- 2:17:56Speaker 1: and blessing, faithful, true and virtuous wife, since you so
- 2:18:01Speaker 1: permit me, Yama, So the good Saviagry said, for my
- 2:18:05Speaker 1: husband's banished father, let my dearest sooth be made sightless
- 2:18:10Speaker 1: in the darksome forest dwells the monarch faint and weak,
- 2:18:14Speaker 1: grant him sight, and grant him vager Yama in thy

- 2:18:33Speaker 1: fruitless war, and no further living creature may good Monarch
- 2:18:37Speaker 1: Yama go faint, norwerry is savitry. So the noble princess said,
- 2:18:44Speaker 1: since she waits upon her husband, gracious monarch of the dead,

- 2:20:29Speaker 1: And he turned on her again, and his words fell
- 2:20:32Speaker 1: on Savatry like the cooling, sammar rain, noble woman, speak
- 2:20:38Speaker 1: thy wishes, name thy boon and Papa's high what they
- 2:20:42Speaker 1: pious mortal asket, gods in heaven may not deny thou hast,
- 2:20:48Speaker 1: So Savagery answered, granted father's realm amide to his vain
- 2:20:53Speaker 1: and sightless eyeballs, has restored their blessed side. Grant him
- 2:20:58Speaker 1: to the line of monarchs. May not all untimely end
- 2:21:02Speaker 1: that his kingdom to set divans and sabatry sons descent.
- 2:21:07Speaker 1: Have thy object, answered, Yamah, and thy lord shall live again.
- 2:21:13Speaker 1: He shall leave to be a father, and your children
- 2:21:16Speaker 1: too shall reign. For a woman's trot aboud it longer
- 2:21:20Speaker 1: than the flitting bread, and a woman's love abideth higher
- 2:21:25Speaker 1: than the doom of death. Six return home vanished, and
- 2:21:34Speaker 1: the sable monarch and Savigery held her way, where in
- 2:21:38Speaker 1: dense and darksome forest still her husband lifeless lay, and
- 2:21:43Speaker 1: she sat upon the green sword by the cold, unconscious
- 2:21:46Speaker 1: death on her lap with deeper kindness pleased her consort's
- 2:21:51Speaker 1: lifeless head, and that touch of true affection thrilled him
- 2:21:56Speaker 1: back to waking life. Has returned from distant regions, gazed
- 2:22:00Speaker 1: the prince upon his wife, have violin too long and slumbered,
- 2:22:05Speaker 1: sweet savagery, faithful spous But I dreamed a sable person
- 2:22:10Speaker 1: in a news took forth my life pillowed on his lap,
- 2:22:15Speaker 1: She answered, Long upon the arch he lay, and the
- 2:22:19Speaker 1: sable person husband, he had come and passed away. Rise
- 2:22:24Speaker 1: and leave this darksome forest, if thou feelest light and strong,
- 2:22:29Speaker 1: for the night is on the jungle, and our way
- 2:22:31Speaker 1: is dark and long. Rising as from happy slumber, looked
- 2:22:37Speaker 1: a young prince on all round, saw the wide extending jungle,
- 2:22:41Speaker 1: mantling all the darksome ground. Yes, he said, I now remember, ever, loving,
- 2:22:47Speaker 1: faithful dame, we in source of fruit and fuel to
- 2:22:51Speaker 1: this lonesome forest. Came as I hewed the old branches
- 2:22:56Speaker 1: cral aguish filled my brain, and I laid me on
- 2:22:59Speaker 1: the grid insword with a throbbing, piercing pain pillowed on
- 2:23:04Speaker 1: thy gentle bosom. Solaced by thy gentle love, I was
- 2:23:09Speaker 1: soothed and drowsy slumber fell on me. From skies above
- 2:23:14Speaker 1: all was dark, And then I witnessed, was it but
- 2:23:17Speaker 1: a flitting dream, God our reason? Dark and dreadful in
- 2:23:21Speaker 1: the deepening shadows gleam, was this dream my fair, Savagery,
- 2:23:26Speaker 1: dost thou of this vision know? Tell me? For before
- 2:23:30Speaker 1: my eyesight still the vision seems to grow. Darkness thickens,
- 2:23:36Speaker 1: said Savagery, and the evening waxed late. When the morrow's
- 2:23:41Speaker 1: light return it, I shall all these scenes narrate. Now arise,
- 2:23:46Speaker 1: for darkness gathers deeper grows the gloomy night, and thy
- 2:23:50Speaker 1: loving antious parents trembling wait thy welcome sight hark the
- 2:23:55Speaker 1: ringers of the forest, How their voices strike the year
- 2:24:00Speaker 1: of the darksome jungle, How they feel my breast with fear.
- 2:24:04Speaker 1: Forest fire is raising yonder, For I see a distant
- 2:24:07Speaker 1: glaim and a rising evening breezes. How the red and
- 2:24:11Speaker 1: radiant beam. Let me fetch a burning fagot and prepare
- 2:24:15Speaker 1: a friendly light with these fallen witered bronzes, chase the
- 2:24:19Speaker 1: shadows of the night. And if feebles teal thy footsteps
- 2:24:24Speaker 1: long and weary is our way by the fire, repose
- 2:24:27Speaker 1: my husband and return by light of day. For my
- 2:24:32Speaker 1: parents fondly anxious, said Tevan. Thus made reply paints my
- 2:24:37Speaker 1: heart and yearns my bosom latest to their cottage high
- 2:24:41Speaker 1: When I tarried in the jungle, or by day or
- 2:24:44Speaker 1: dewy eve surging in the hermitages. Often did my parents grieve,
- 2:24:49Speaker 1: And with father's soft reproaches and with mother's loving fears,
- 2:24:54Speaker 1: chide me for my tardy footsteps. Ded me with your
- 2:24:57Speaker 1: gentle tears, Take then of my father's sorrow, of my
- 2:25:02Speaker 1: mother's sowful plith. If a far in wood and jungle
- 2:25:05Speaker 1: pass with now the livelong night, wife, beloved, I may
- 2:25:10Speaker 1: not fathom what mashop or load of care, unknown dangers,
- 2:25:14Speaker 1: unknown sorrows, Even now my parents sare gentle drops of
- 2:25:19Speaker 1: filial sorrow trickled down his manly eye. Pawn Savagery, sweetly, speaking,
- 2:25:25Speaker 1: softly wiped the tear drops dry. Trust me, husband, If
- 2:25:29Speaker 1: Savagery hath been faithful in her love, if she had
- 2:25:33Speaker 1: with pious offerings served arighty as God's above, if she
- 2:25:37Speaker 1: had his sister's kindness unto brother man performed, if she
- 2:25:42Speaker 1: had in speech and action unto holy truth, conformed unknown blessings,
- 2:25:47Speaker 1: mighty gladness, trust Eve or faithful wife, and not sorrows
- 2:25:52Speaker 1: or disasters wait deceive our parents life. Then she rose
- 2:25:57Speaker 1: and tied her tresses gently her lord to rise, walked
- 2:26:02Speaker 1: with him the pathless jangle looked at love into his
- 2:26:05Speaker 1: eyes on her neck. His clasping left arm sweetly windes
- 2:26:10Speaker 1: in soft embraces round his waist. Savager's rider doth sweetly interlace.
- 2:26:18Speaker 1: As they walked the Dogsome jungle silent stars looked from above,
- 2:26:23Speaker 1: and the host and throbbing midnight watched Savitri's deathless Love
- 2:26:31Speaker 1: and of book five, Book six go Ahadden cattle lifting.
- 2:26:38Speaker 1: The conditions of the banishment of the Suns of Pandu
- 2:26:41Speaker 1: were hard. They must pass twelve years in exile, and
- 2:26:45Speaker 1: then they must remain an ear in consonment. If they
- 2:26:49Speaker 1: were discovered within this last year, they must go into
- 2:26:51Speaker 1: exile for another twelve years. Having passed the twelve years
- 2:26:56Speaker 1: of exile in forests, the Panda brothers disguised themselves and
- 2:27:00Speaker 1: entered into the menial service of Biddad, king of the Misias,
- 2:27:04Speaker 1: to pass the year of Counsilman Eodistair presented himself as
- 2:27:09Speaker 1: a Brahman skilled in dies, and became a courtier of
- 2:27:12Speaker 1: the king. We mentored the king's service as cook for religion,
- 2:27:17Speaker 1: who was so well known. A stricter councilman was necessary.
- 2:27:21Speaker 1: He wore conspangles and tear rings and braided his hair
- 2:27:25Speaker 1: like those unfortunate beings whom nature has debarred from the
- 2:27:28Speaker 1: privileges of man and women, and he lived in the
- 2:27:31Speaker 1: inner apartments of the king. He assumed the name of
- 2:27:35Speaker 1: Rihannalla and taught the inmates of the royal household in
- 2:27:38Speaker 1: music and dancing. Nikol became a keeper of the king's horses,
- 2:27:43Speaker 1: and Sadib took chairs of the king's cows. Chopaditu disguised
- 2:27:47Speaker 1: herself as a waiting women and served the princess of
- 2:27:50Speaker 1: the Mitsia house in that humble capacity. In these disguises,
- 2:27:55Speaker 1: the Panda brothers safely passed a year in counsilment in
- 2:27:58Speaker 1: spite of all search which the Lutan made after them.
- 2:28:02Speaker 1: At last an incident happened which led to their discovery
- 2:28:05Speaker 1: when the year was out. Cattle lifting was a common
- 2:28:09Speaker 1: practice with the kings of ancient India, as with the
- 2:28:12Speaker 1: chiefs of ancient Greece. The King of the Trigathas and
- 2:28:16Speaker 1: the King of the Curus combined and fell on the
- 2:28:19Speaker 1: King of Damachias in order to drive off the numerous
- 2:28:22Speaker 1: heart of the fine cattle for which his kingdom was famed.
- 2:28:27Speaker 1: The Trigartas entered Damitzi Kingdom from the southeast, and while
- 2:28:31Speaker 1: without went out with his troops to meet the foe,
- 2:28:33Speaker 1: the Lutan with his Curu forces fell on the kingdom
- 2:28:36Speaker 1: from the north. When news came that the Curus had
- 2:28:40Speaker 1: invaded the kingdom, there was no army in the capital
- 2:28:43Speaker 1: to defend it. King Virat had gone out with most
- 2:28:46Speaker 1: of his troops to face the Trigathas in the southeast,
- 2:28:49Speaker 1: and the Prince Utta had no inclination to face the
- 2:28:52Speaker 1: Curus in the north. The disguised Drjan now came to
- 2:28:56Speaker 1: the rescue in the manner described in this book. The
- 2:29:00Speaker 1: description of the bows, arrows and swords of the Panda brothers,
- 2:29:04Speaker 1: which they had counseled in a tree wrapped like human
- 2:29:07Speaker 1: corpses to frighten away inquisitive travelers throw some light on
- 2:29:11Speaker 1: the arts and manufacture of ancient times. The portions translated
- 2:29:16Speaker 1: in this book formed sections thirty five, thirty six, forty
- 2:29:20Speaker 1: to forty three, a portion of section forty four, and
- 2:29:24Speaker 1: sections fifty three and seventy two of book four of
- 2:29:27Speaker 1: the original text. One complaint of the cow herd monarch
- 2:29:36Speaker 1: of the Mighty Marchias Brave Birad known to fame, marched
- 2:29:40Speaker 1: against regard the chieftains, who from the southward. Resians came
- 2:29:45Speaker 1: from the north. The proud Duriotan, stealing onwards day by day,
- 2:29:50Speaker 1: swept the Machia's fattened cattle like the hawk upon its
- 2:29:54Speaker 1: prey fish drown. Peerless Skirn led the Kour warriors brave
- 2:30:00Speaker 1: swept the kingdom of Virat. Like the ocean's surging wave
- 2:30:05Speaker 1: fell upon the trembling cowhords, chased them from the pasture. Failed.
- 2:30:10Speaker 1: Sixty thousand head of cattle was the monsieur country yelled,
- 2:30:14Speaker 1: and the wailing chief of Cowhords fled. Forelln fatigued and spent,
- 2:30:19Speaker 1: speeding on his rapid chariot to the royal city. Went,
- 2:30:24Speaker 1: came inside the city portals, came within the palace gate,
- 2:30:27Speaker 1: struck his forehead in his anguish, and bewailed his luckless faith.
- 2:30:33Speaker 1: Meeting there, the Prince ut, youth of beauty and of fame,
- 2:30:37Speaker 1: told him of the Curu's outrage and lamented Masia's shame.
- 2:30:42Speaker 1: Sixty thousand head of cattle bred of Machia's finest breath
- 2:30:46Speaker 1: to his diner's distant empire, to the court chieftain's lead,
- 2:30:51Speaker 1: glory of the Machia nation, Save thy father's valid kind, quick,
- 2:30:55Speaker 1: thy footsteps, strong, thy valor, vengeance, deep and dire bedyed
- 2:31:00Speaker 1: against the fears, toguard the chieftains. Much as warlike king

- 2:31:13Speaker 1: lead the stolen kind like an elephant of jungle, piercedakoruz
- 2:31:17Speaker 1: shattered line as the ben as Pigot's music by musicians,
- 2:31:22Speaker 1: tune their aright. Let thy sounding bow and arrows speak
- 2:31:25Speaker 1: thy deeds of matchless mile harness, quick Thai milk white
- 2:31:29Speaker 1: coursers to thy sounding battle car hoist thy golden lion banner, speed,
- 2:31:34Speaker 1: deep prints, unto the war and asked underwreielding indra smo

- 2:31:51Speaker 1: refuge of the Marsias and thy kingdom's pride and grace.
- 2:31:56Speaker 1: But the prince went not to battle from the foe,
- 2:31:59Speaker 1: to guard the state, to the cow hord answered gaily,
- 2:32:02Speaker 1: sheltered by the palace gate not unknown to me. The
- 2:32:06Speaker 1: usage of the bow and winged dart not unknown, the
- 2:32:09Speaker 1: warrior's duty or the warrior's noble art. I doing my
- 2:32:13Speaker 1: father's cattle from the willie Foeman's greed. If a skillful
- 2:32:17Speaker 1: chariot driver could my fiery coursers lead for my ancient
- 2:32:21Speaker 1: chariot driver died on battle's gory plain. Eight and twenty
- 2:32:26Speaker 1: days we wrestled. Many warlike chiefs were slain. Bring me
- 2:32:30Speaker 1: forth a skillful driver who can arch the battle's teeth.
- 2:32:34Speaker 1: I'll hoist my lion banner to the dubious battle's speed.
- 2:32:38Speaker 1: Dashing to the foeman's horses, ranks of elephants and car
- 2:32:42Speaker 1: I'll win the stolen cattle rescued in the field of war,
- 2:32:46Speaker 1: and like thunderwilding Indra smiting Danu's sons of old, I'll
- 2:32:51Speaker 1: smite the kor chieftains, drive them to their distant hold.
- 2:32:55Speaker 1: Wishma and the proud duriotan archar kar known to fame
- 2:33:00Speaker 1: Drone too, shall quail before me and retreat in bitter shame.
- 2:33:04Speaker 1: Do those warriors in my absence Muchia's far famed cattle steel,

- 2:33:34Speaker 1: try his skill and valor does to fair Droperdy prayed,
- 2:33:38Speaker 1: say to him that Brihannela will his battle chariot leave
- 2:33:42Speaker 1: that as Urgent's chariot driver, he had learned to uge
- 2:33:45Speaker 1: the steeth. Say that faithful Brihannela many a dubious war
- 2:33:50Speaker 1: had seen, and to win his father's cattle in this contest,
- 2:33:55Speaker 1: fierce and keen, fair Dropody, guised as Minia, Urgent's secret

- 2:55:00Speaker 1: which now it is innervision. Then the state of things surveyed,
- 2:55:03Speaker 1: and his thoughts before the monarchs. Thus in weighty accents
- 2:55:07Speaker 1: laid known to all the mighty monarchs, May your glory
- 2:55:12Speaker 1: everlast true to ply the word. Yetister had his very
- 2:55:16Speaker 1: exile past twelve long years with fair dropody in the
- 2:55:21Speaker 1: battless jungle strade, and the year in menial service in
- 2:55:24Speaker 1: Birard's palace. Staid he had kept his spighted promise, brave affliction,
- 2:55:30Speaker 1: woo and shame. And he begs assembled monarchs, Ye shall
- 2:55:33Speaker 1: now his duty name, For he swerve not from duty
- 2:55:38Speaker 1: kingdom of the sky, to win private hamlet more than empire.
- 2:55:42Speaker 1: So his course be free from sin, loss of realm
- 2:55:46Speaker 1: and wealth and glory. Higher virtues in him prove thoughts
- 2:55:50Speaker 1: of peace and not of anger. Still the good it
- 2:55:52Speaker 1: is deer moved. Mark again the sleepless anger and the
- 2:55:56Speaker 1: unrelenting hate. Harbored by the proud drudan, driven by his
- 2:56:01Speaker 1: luckless faith from a child, by fire or poison, impious
- 2:56:06Speaker 1: skuile or tree cobbed eyes, he had compassed a dark
- 2:56:09Speaker 1: destruction by deceit and low device. Ponder well, the gracious monarchs,
- 2:56:16Speaker 1: with a just and righteous mind, how bit his deirit
- 2:56:19Speaker 1: your counsel, with your grace and blessings. Kind Should the
- 2:56:24Speaker 1: noble son of Pandu seek his right by open war,
- 2:56:28Speaker 1: seek the aid of a righteous monarchs and of chieftains
- 2:56:31Speaker 1: near and far. Should his mighty ancient foemen skilled in
- 2:56:36Speaker 1: each deceitful art on forgiving in der vengeance, unrelenting in
- 2:56:40Speaker 1: dear heart, Should he redder send a message to the proud,
- 2:56:45Speaker 1: unbanding foe and to Ruden's hafty purpose, seek by messenger
- 2:56:49Speaker 1: to know. Should he send the noble envoy, trained in virtue,
- 2:56:54Speaker 1: true and wise, with his greetings to Derudan in a
- 2:56:58Speaker 1: meek and friendly guise, ask him to restore the kingdom
- 2:57:01Speaker 1: on the sacred Gemuna's shore. Either king may rule his
- 2:57:05Speaker 1: empire as in happy days of your Krishna uttered words
- 2:57:11Speaker 1: of wisdom, pregnant with his peaceful thought, for in peace
- 2:57:15Speaker 1: and not by bloodshed. Still it is tish right he
- 2:57:18Speaker 1: sought two Valdev's speech Krishna's elder baldeb stolar chief who
- 2:57:26Speaker 1: bore a plow rose and speck the blood of Brushni's
- 2:57:31Speaker 1: mantled over his lofty brow. Ye have listened, pious monarchs,
- 2:57:36Speaker 1: to my brother's gentle word love evers to good it
- 2:57:40Speaker 1: is Deir, and to proudhast Dina's lord for his realm
- 2:57:45Speaker 1: by dark blue Zemuna gooded is Deir held of your
- 2:57:48Speaker 1: brave Duriodan ruled his kingdom on the Rhdi Gangha's shore,
- 2:57:53Speaker 1: and once more in love and friendship. Either prince may
- 2:57:57Speaker 1: rule his share, for the lands are broad, and each
- 2:58:01Speaker 1: realm is rich and fair. Speak the envoy to Hastina
- 2:58:05Speaker 1: with our love and greetings. Kind Let him speak it.
- 2:58:09Speaker 1: His der sushes seek to know to Yudan's mind. Make
- 2:58:13Speaker 1: obeisance unto Vishmah and to Dronah, true and bold, unto
- 2:58:18Speaker 1: creepa archer kern, and to chieftains young and old, to
- 2:58:24Speaker 1: the sons of tretraashtre rulers of the kurul End, righteous
- 2:58:28Speaker 1: Indian kingly duties stout of heart and strong of end,
- 2:58:33Speaker 1: to the princes and to burghers gathered in the council hall.
- 2:58:37Speaker 1: Let him speak it, His dear sushes plead it is
- 2:58:40Speaker 1: there's cause to all speak. He not in futile anger,
- 2:58:45Speaker 1: for Durudan holds the power, and it is di wreath.
- 2:58:48Speaker 1: Were folly in this sad and luckless hour by his
- 2:58:52Speaker 1: dearest friends, dissuaded, but by rage or madness driven he
- 2:58:57Speaker 1: had played and lost his empire. May his folly be
- 2:59:00Speaker 1: forgiven in repressed spacious empire. Now Durudan deems his own
- 2:59:06Speaker 1: by his tears and soft entreaty. Let it his tears
- 2:59:10Speaker 1: seeing the throne open war, I do not counsel humbly
- 2:59:14Speaker 1: seek Durludhan's grace. War will not restore the empire, nor
- 2:59:18Speaker 1: the gambler's loss. Replace Thus with cold and cruel candor,
- 2:59:24Speaker 1: stalwart Veldeve cried, ratful Rose, the brave, said thicky fiercely.
- 2:59:28Speaker 1: Thus to him, replied Tree said thicky speech shame unto
- 2:59:36Speaker 1: the halting chieftain, who thus pleads to Durhan's part timoth
- 2:59:40Speaker 1: counsel Valdeve speaks. A women's team with heart oft from
- 2:59:45Speaker 1: warlike stock, arise at a wakling chief who bands the knee,
- 2:59:49Speaker 1: as with your truthless sapling, spring it from a fruitful tree,
- 2:59:54Speaker 1: from a heart so faint and craven. Faint and graven
- 2:59:57Speaker 1: words must flow monarchs in their pri and glory, least
- 3:00:01Speaker 1: not to such counsel law couldst thou impious Valdeve meets
- 3:00:06Speaker 1: these potent deaths of fame on. It is here, pious
- 3:00:09Speaker 1: hearted cast this undeserved blame, challenged by his wily foemen
- 3:00:15Speaker 1: and by dark misfortune, crost trusting to their faith, It
- 3:00:19Speaker 1: is here played a righteous game and lost challenge from
- 3:00:23Speaker 1: a crowned monarch. Can a crowned king decline, canik Shatya, warrior, fadom,
- 3:00:27Speaker 1: fraud in Sons of royal line, natless, his surrendered empire,
- 3:00:33Speaker 1: true to fate and plighted word lived for years in
- 3:00:36Speaker 1: Pathley's forests. In Represst's mighty lord, past his ears of
- 3:00:41Speaker 1: weary exile. Now he claims his realm of old, claims
- 3:00:45Speaker 1: it not as humble suppliant, but as king and warrior, bold,
- 3:00:51Speaker 1: past his ear of dark councilman, Boldedestre claims his own
- 3:00:56Speaker 1: proud Duludan now must render in Repress's duelt thrown Fishma councils,
- 3:01:02Speaker 1: drown arches, Crepa pleads for right in vain, false Turudan
- 3:01:07Speaker 1: will not render, sinful conquest troth will gain open war.
- 3:01:12Speaker 1: I therefore counsel ruthless and relentless war grace we seek
- 3:01:16Speaker 1: not when we meet them, speeding in our battle car

- 3:21:13Speaker 1: All negotiations for a peaceful partition of the Kuru kingdom
- 3:21:16Speaker 1: having failed, both parties now prepared for a battle, perhaps
- 3:21:21Speaker 1: the most sanguinary that was fought on the plains of
- 3:21:23Speaker 1: India in dencient times. It is a battle of nations,
- 3:21:27Speaker 1: for all warlike races in northern India took a cher
- 3:21:30Speaker 1: in it. Duritan's army consisted of his own division as
- 3:21:34Speaker 1: well as the divisions of ten alied kings. Each allied
- 3:21:38Speaker 1: power is said to have brought one Akshaeni troops, and
- 3:21:41Speaker 1: if he reduced this fabulous number to the moderate figure
- 3:21:43Speaker 1: of ten thousand, including horse and foot cars and elephants,
- 3:21:48Speaker 1: Duritan's army, including his own division, was over one hundred
- 3:21:51Speaker 1: thousand strong. Yidistir had a smaller army, said to have
- 3:21:56Speaker 1: been seven Akshainese in number, which he made by a
- 3:21:59Speaker 1: similar reduction, reckoned to be seventy thousand. His father in law,
- 3:22:03Speaker 1: the King of the Panchaals and Durjin's relative, the King
- 3:22:07Speaker 1: of the Machias, where his principal allies, Krishna, joined him
- 3:22:12Speaker 1: as his friend and adviser and as the chadiotier of Virgin,
- 3:22:16Speaker 1: but the Breshnis as a nation had joined the Ryudhan.
- 3:22:20Speaker 1: When the two armies were drawn up in Ari and
- 3:22:22Speaker 1: faced each other, and Darjin saw his revered elders and
- 3:22:25Speaker 1: dear friends and relations among his foes, he was unwilling
- 3:22:28Speaker 1: to fight. It was on this occasion that Krishna explained
- 3:22:32Speaker 1: to him the great principles of duty in that memorable
- 3:22:35Speaker 1: work called the fagovat Ghita, which has been translated into
- 3:22:39Speaker 1: so many European languages. Belief in one supreme deity is
- 3:22:43Speaker 1: the underlying thought of this work, and ever an Anon,
- 3:22:46Speaker 1: as Professor gerberremrs. Thus Krishna ever to the doctrine that

- 3:23:02Speaker 1: grand oul fighter Vishma as the commander in chief of
- 3:23:05Speaker 1: his army. For ten days, Vishma held his own and
- 3:23:09Speaker 1: inflicted serious loss on Idistirr's army. The principal incidents of
- 3:23:13Speaker 1: these ten days, ending with the fall of Vishma, are
- 3:23:17Speaker 1: narrated in this book. This book is an approachment of

- 3:23:32Speaker 1: the day nations armed for mortal combat. In the field
- 3:23:36Speaker 1: of battle, lay beat of drum and blare of trumpet,
- 3:23:39Speaker 1: and the sun cast lofty sound by the answering cloud
- 3:23:43Speaker 1: repeated shook the hills and tanted ground. And the voice
- 3:23:47Speaker 1: of sounding weapons which the warlike archards drew, and the
- 3:23:50Speaker 1: nay of battle chargers as the armed horsemen flew mingled
- 3:23:55Speaker 1: with the rolling thunder of each swiftly speeding car and
- 3:23:58Speaker 1: its feeling bells, proclaimed mighty elephants of war, fish mall
- 3:24:03Speaker 1: and takuru forces strong as that's resistless flail human chiefs
- 3:24:07Speaker 1: nor bright immortals could against his might prevail. Helmutwearing Galander
- 3:24:13Speaker 1: Jun came in pride and mighty red held alofties, famed
- 3:24:18Speaker 1: Gandhib strove to cross the chieftain's path. A Vimenu, son
- 3:24:23Speaker 1: of a Jun, whom the Fairsuvadrabor, drove against Koshala's monarch,
- 3:24:28Speaker 1: famed in arms and holy lore, hurling down Kshaala's standard,

- 3:24:44Speaker 1: and against a proud dussasan brave Nichole drove his car
- 3:24:49Speaker 1: Sadib mighty women. Then the fierce dur Mukhassat and the
- 3:24:54Speaker 1: righteous king in his dear with the carborn Selia fought
- 3:24:58Speaker 1: and sent feud and deathless hatreds fired. The Brahman warrior
- 3:25:01Speaker 1: Bold Dronah, with the proud Panchals fought once more his
- 3:25:06Speaker 1: field of gold nations from the eastern regions against the
- 3:25:10Speaker 1: bold birard pressed Creepa met the wild Cacals hailing from
- 3:25:15Speaker 1: the farthest west. Drupert, proud and peerless monarch with his

- 3:25:25Speaker 1: sounding shore Chades and the valiant Matchias nations gathered from
- 3:25:31Speaker 1: Afar Vojas and the fierce Combojures mingled into dubious war
- 3:25:38Speaker 1: through the day. The battle lasted, and no mortal tongue
- 3:25:41Speaker 1: can tell what unnumbered chieftains perished and what countless soldiers fell.
- 3:25:47Speaker 1: And the son knew not his father, and the sire
- 3:25:50Speaker 1: knew not his son brother fought against his brother strange
- 3:25:54Speaker 1: the deeds of Balerdan. Horses fell, and shafts of chariots
- 3:26:00Speaker 1: sheavered in resistless shark hurled against a foreman's chariots, speeding
- 3:26:05Speaker 1: like the rolling rock. Elephants by mouths driven furiously each
- 3:26:09Speaker 1: other tore, trumpeting with trunks uplifted on the serried soldier's
- 3:26:14Speaker 1: boar ceaselessplied the gallant troopers with a stone unielding might.
- 3:26:19Speaker 1: Pikes and axes, clubs and maces, swords and spears and
- 3:26:23Speaker 1: lences breathe. Horsemen flee wes, fork lighting heroes fought in
- 3:26:28Speaker 1: shining mail. Archers poured their feedered arrows like the bright
- 3:26:32Speaker 1: and glistening hail. Vishma, leader of the curus As, declined
- 3:26:38Speaker 1: the ratful day through the shattered pant of legions, forced
- 3:26:41Speaker 1: his all resistless way. Onward went his palm tree standard
- 3:26:46Speaker 1: through the hostile ranks of war machias. Gashi's nor Panchallas
- 3:26:51Speaker 1: faced the mighty wish mouse car, But the fiery son
- 3:26:55Speaker 1: of a June, filled with shame and bite a red
- 3:26:58Speaker 1: turned his car and tawny course to abstract the chieftain's
- 3:27:02Speaker 1: pet vainly fought the youthful warrior, though his doughts were
- 3:27:06Speaker 1: pointed well and dissevered from his chariot. Vishma's pumpy standard
- 3:27:11Speaker 1: fell angers teared Dance and Vishma, and he rose in
- 3:27:16Speaker 1: all his mind a he manew pierced with arrows, fell
- 3:27:20Speaker 1: unfainted in the fire. Then to save the son of Virtune,
- 3:27:24Speaker 1: Matia's gallant princess came brave with their noble sweater. Youthful
- 3:27:29Speaker 1: warriors known to fame Ah too hourly felt the warriors
- 3:27:34Speaker 1: in that sad and fatal strife, Matia's dems and dark
- 3:27:37Speaker 1: eyed maidens wept. The princess shortened life, slain by cwel
- 3:27:43Speaker 1: faith untimely fell to brothers young and good, dauntless. Still
- 3:27:48Speaker 1: the youngest brother, proud and gallant Sunka stood, But the
- 3:27:53Speaker 1: helmet wearing Urgun came to stop the victor's pat and
- 3:27:57Speaker 1: to save the fearless Sunkhah from dancient Vishma red drooped
- 3:28:02Speaker 1: two upon Charles's monarch swiftly rushed into the prey strove
- 3:28:06Speaker 1: to shield the broken pundubs and to stop the victor's way.
- 3:28:11Speaker 1: But as fire consumed the forest. Wrathful Vishma slew the
- 3:28:14Speaker 1: foe none could faces sounding chariot and his ever circled bow,
- 3:28:20Speaker 1: and the fainting Punda brothers marked a foe resistless bold
- 3:28:24Speaker 1: shoke like unprotected cattle teetered in the blighting cold. Onward
- 3:28:30Speaker 1: came the mighty Vishma, and the slaughter fiercer grew from
- 3:28:34Speaker 1: his bill like hissing serpents. Still the glistening arrows flew.
- 3:28:39Speaker 1: Onward came the ensign to warrior, and his path was
- 3:28:42Speaker 1: strewn with dead, and the broken bond of forces, crushed
- 3:28:46Speaker 1: and driven, scattered, fled. Friendly night and gathering darkness closed
- 3:28:51Speaker 1: the slaughter of the day to their tents. The sons
- 3:28:54Speaker 1: of Pantu held their sad and weary way cruse rooted
- 3:29:01Speaker 1: by urchin, grieved at heart, the goody stir wept the
- 3:29:06Speaker 1: losses of the day, sought the aid of gallant Krishna
- 3:29:10Speaker 1: for the morning's fresh array. And when from the eastern
- 3:29:13Speaker 1: mountains Suria drove his fiery car, Vishma and the helder
- 3:29:18Speaker 1: Jin strove to turn the tide of war. Vishma's glorious
- 3:29:23Speaker 1: palmedy standard over the field of battle rose Urgin's monkey
- 3:29:27Speaker 1: standard glittered leaving through the sered foes. They was from
- 3:29:32Speaker 1: their cloud born chariots and gundrbs from the sky, gazed
- 3:29:36Speaker 1: in mute and speechless wonder on the humid chiefs from
- 3:29:39Speaker 1: high while at dauntless valor urgent steel, the mighty vishmasad
- 3:29:45Speaker 1: warlike Prince of fair Panchao, with the doughty Drona, fought
- 3:29:50Speaker 1: ceaseless against a proud preceptor sent his dots like summer rain.
- 3:29:55Speaker 1: Baffled by the skill of Drona tris dadimiya strove in vain.
- 3:30:00Speaker 1: But the fiercer darts of Drona pierced the Prince's shattered mail,
- 3:30:04Speaker 1: hardling on his battle chariot like an anglish hour of hail,
- 3:30:09Speaker 1: And they ran in twain his bowstring, and they cut
- 3:30:12Speaker 1: his ponderous maze. Sleevy steed, sent chariot driver streaked blood,
- 3:30:16Speaker 1: his godlike face dauntless still Ponchaal's hero, springing from a
- 3:30:22Speaker 1: shattered car like a hungry dagered lion with his zeber,
- 3:30:26Speaker 1: rushed to war, dashed aside the darts of Drona with
- 3:30:30Speaker 1: his broad and ample shield, with his saber brightly framing
- 3:30:34Speaker 1: fiercely stroughted red and field in his fury and his rashness.
- 3:30:39Speaker 1: He had fallen on that day. But the ever watchful
- 3:30:42Speaker 1: Wema stopped a proud preceptor's way, proud drud and marked
- 3:30:47Speaker 1: with tanger Vima rushing in his car, and he sent
- 3:30:50Speaker 1: Kalinga's forces to the thickening ranks of war. Onward came
- 3:30:56Speaker 1: Kalinga's warriors with the dark Tornado's smith duski Chee saves
- 3:31:00Speaker 1: Nishad warriors, gloomy as the sable night rose, the shout
- 3:31:05Speaker 1: of warring nations surging to the battle's fore like the
- 3:31:08Speaker 1: angry voice of tempest and the ocean's troubled roar, unlike
- 3:31:13Speaker 1: darkly rolling breakers, ranks of sered warriors flew scarcely in
- 3:31:18Speaker 1: the thickning darkness. Friends and kin from form and Neil
- 3:31:23Speaker 1: felt the young Prince of Kalinga by the wrathful Wema Slane,
- 3:31:27Speaker 1: But against Kalinga's monarch, beffel Vema fought in vain, safely
- 3:31:32Speaker 1: set the stern monarch on his howdah's lofty seat, till
- 3:31:36Speaker 1: upon the giant tusker Fema sprang with a xile feet.
- 3:31:41Speaker 1: Then he struck with fatal fury. Brave Kalinga fell in twain, scattered,
- 3:31:46Speaker 1: fled his countless forces when they saw their leader slaying.
- 3:31:51Speaker 1: Darkly rolled the tide of battle. When Tuddan's valiant son
- 3:31:55Speaker 1: strove against the sun of a Jun famed for deeds
- 3:31:57Speaker 1: of well or done out to you, then marked a
- 3:32:01Speaker 1: contest with her father's enxious heart, came to save his
- 3:32:05Speaker 1: gallant lushmen from braving by now start, and the helmutdwaring
- 3:32:10Speaker 1: Urchin marked his son among his POWs, who from far
- 3:32:13Speaker 1: his battle chariot and rated terrific rose Urjun. Urjun cried
- 3:32:19Speaker 1: the Curus, and in panic broke and fled stead In
- 3:32:23Speaker 1: Tasker turned from battle, Soldiers fell among the dead. Godlike
- 3:32:28Speaker 1: Krishna drove the coursers of registless urgent scar and the
- 3:32:33Speaker 1: sound of Urgin Sunkha rose above the cry of war,
- 3:32:37Speaker 1: and the voice of his gandhip spread a terror far
- 3:32:40Speaker 1: and near. Crushed and broken, faint and frightened fled the
- 3:32:44Speaker 1: Curus in their fear onward steel through scattered foemen, conquering
- 3:32:49Speaker 1: Arjun held his way till the evening's gathering darkness closed
- 3:32:53Speaker 1: the action of the day Tree Vishma and urchin meat.
- 3:33:01Speaker 1: Anxious was the proud Toruthan when the golden morning came,
- 3:33:05Speaker 1: for before the cut of virgin fled, each Kuru chief
- 3:33:08Speaker 1: of fame, brave Theruthan shook in anger, and the tremor
- 3:33:13Speaker 1: moved his frame as he speak to ancient Vishma words
- 3:33:16Speaker 1: of rats in bitter shame. Vishma, dost thou lead the
- 3:33:21Speaker 1: Kurus in this battle's crimson field warlike drona dotty gordos,
- 3:33:26Speaker 1: like a broad and ample shield. Wherefore then, before your urgin,
- 3:33:31Speaker 1: do the valiant curus fly? Wherefore dot our leader linger
- 3:33:35Speaker 1: when he hears the battle cry Dot a secret love
- 3:33:39Speaker 1: for pandevs quell our leader's matchless might with a halting
- 3:33:43Speaker 1: chill for curus dot, the noble Vishma five pardon chief,
- 3:33:49Speaker 1: if for the pandavs dot they partial heart incline, yield
- 3:33:53Speaker 1: my place. Let faithful Kurn lead my gallant Kuru. Line
- 3:33:58Speaker 1: anger flamed on vishma forehead, and the tear was in
- 3:34:02Speaker 1: his eye and in accents few and trembling. Thus the
- 3:34:05Speaker 1: warrior made reply, vein our toil unwise, do you then,
- 3:34:10Speaker 1: nor can wish my warrior old, nor can Drona's killed,
- 3:34:13Speaker 1: the weapons her nature proud and bold, wash the stain
- 3:34:17Speaker 1: of deeds unholy, and of wrongs and outraged laws. Conquer
- 3:34:22Speaker 1: with a load of cunning against a right and righteous
- 3:34:25Speaker 1: cause death to his dunes. Boys, do you then deaf
- 3:34:29Speaker 1: to parents and to keen, Thou shalt paris in thy folly,
- 3:34:33Speaker 1: in die unrepented scene, for the wrongs and insults suffered,
- 3:34:38Speaker 1: UNTI good it is Teer's wife, for the kingdom from
- 3:34:41Speaker 1: him stolen, for the plots against his life, for the
- 3:34:45Speaker 1: dreadful oats of Viema, for the holy council given vainly
- 3:34:49Speaker 1: given by Saint Lukrishna. Thou art doomed by righteous heaven. Meanwhile,
- 3:34:55Speaker 1: since he leads thy forces, fishm steel shall meet his foe,
- 3:34:59Speaker 1: or to conquer or to perish to the battle's front.
- 3:35:02Speaker 1: I go speaking thus unto the battle, and send Vishmahuld
- 3:35:07Speaker 1: his way, sweeping all before his chariot. As upon a
- 3:35:11Speaker 1: previous day, and the army of witt Istir shook from
- 3:35:15Speaker 1: and to far the stand urchin nor the valiant Krishna
- 3:35:18Speaker 1: gout against the tight content. Cars were shattered, fled, the coursers,
- 3:35:24Speaker 1: elephants were pierced and slain, shafts of chariots, broken standards,
- 3:35:28Speaker 1: Lifeless soldiers strewed the plane. Coats of male were left
- 3:35:33Speaker 1: by warriors as they ran with streaming hair. Soldiers fled
- 3:35:37Speaker 1: like herds of cattle, stricken by sudden fear. Krishna, al
- 3:35:42Speaker 1: Jun's chariot driver and the chief of Rtea's fame marked
- 3:35:46Speaker 1: a broken pond of forces spake in grief and bitter shame.
- 3:35:51Speaker 1: Urchin not in hour of battle had it been they
- 3:35:54Speaker 1: want to fly forward, lay thy path of glory, or
- 3:35:58Speaker 1: to conquer or to die? If to day with angry
- 3:36:02Speaker 1: vishma Arjin chants the dubious fire, Shame on Krishna. If
- 3:36:07Speaker 1: he joins thee in this sad inglorious flight, be it
- 3:36:11Speaker 1: Minealono Urchin warriors wanted work to know Krishna. It is
- 3:36:16Speaker 1: fiery discuss smites the all resistless foe. Then he flung
- 3:36:22Speaker 1: the reins to Urchin, left the steeds and sounding car
- 3:36:25Speaker 1: leaped upon the field of battle, rushed into the dreadful war. Shame,
- 3:36:31Speaker 1: cried Urjun in his anger. Krishna shall not wage the fire,
- 3:36:35Speaker 1: nor shall urjeun like a recream seek for safety in
- 3:36:38Speaker 1: his flight, and he dashed behind the warrior, and on foot.
- 3:36:43Speaker 1: The chief pursued, caught him as the angry Krishna steal
- 3:36:47Speaker 1: his distant form and vewed stollard. Arjun lifted Krishna as
- 3:36:52Speaker 1: the storm lifts up a tree, placed him on his
- 3:36:55Speaker 1: battle chariot, and he bent to him his knee. Pardon Krishna,
- 3:37:00Speaker 1: this compulsion, pardon, this transglas bold. But while a Jun
- 3:37:04Speaker 1: leaves of chief dain weapon of Dirat, which told by
- 3:37:09Speaker 1: my warlike a Vimnu fears of a drowsed darling boy
- 3:37:12Speaker 1: by my brother's dearer truer tenen hours of pride and
- 3:37:16Speaker 1: joy by my trots, I pledge Igrishna lets eye, angry,
- 3:37:21Speaker 1: discuss sleep. Archedjun meets his foemen, and the spatted warld
- 3:37:25Speaker 1: will keep forth. It rushed the Fiyachun in his sounding
- 3:37:30Speaker 1: battle car and like waves before him parted serried ranks
- 3:37:34Speaker 1: of hostile war vainly hurled his lungs, studio them against
- 3:37:39Speaker 1: a variant warrior's face. Vainly Sailia, king of Madra tree
- 3:37:43Speaker 1: would skill his ponderous maze with disdain. The godlike Achun
- 3:37:48Speaker 1: dashed the feeble dots aside hold aloft his famed gandhib
- 3:37:52Speaker 1: as he stood with half depride, beat up grum and
- 3:37:56Speaker 1: blair of Sunka, and the thunder of his car and
- 3:38:00Speaker 1: his weapon's fearful accents rose terrific near and far came
- 3:38:05Speaker 1: registered spauned of forces sweeping onward, wave on wave, chades,
- 3:38:10Speaker 1: machias and Panchada's chieftains true and warrior's brave onward too
- 3:38:16Speaker 1: came forth to Curus by the matchless Vish Mahlad. Shouts
- 3:38:21Speaker 1: arose and cry of anguish midst the dying and the dead.
- 3:38:25Speaker 1: But the evening closed in darkness, and the night fires
- 3:38:28Speaker 1: faithful flared, fainting troops and bleeding chieftains to their various
- 3:38:33Speaker 1: tents repaired four to Thetan's brother slain dawned another day
- 3:38:42Speaker 1: of battle. CRUs knew that day too well. Without queens
- 3:38:46Speaker 1: of fair has Dinna wept before the evening fell, for
- 3:38:50Speaker 1: as worrying of destruction we mus swept in mighty red
- 3:38:54Speaker 1: broke the serried line of taskers, vainly sent to cross
- 3:38:57Speaker 1: his path, smote yet and whiti his arrows, three terrific
- 3:39:01Speaker 1: dirds and five smote proud Ceilia from the battle. Scarce
- 3:39:06Speaker 1: the bore the chiefs alive. Then Duredan's porting brothers rushed
- 3:39:11Speaker 1: into the dreadful fray. Fatal was the luckless moment, inauspicious
- 3:39:16Speaker 1: was the day licked his mouth, the vengeful Wema, and
- 3:39:20Speaker 1: they shook his bow and lands as the lion lolts
- 3:39:23Speaker 1: his rattan when he see his prey advance, short and fierce.
- 3:39:29Speaker 1: The furious combat, six peal princes torned and fled. Eight
- 3:39:33Speaker 1: of proud Durudan's brothers fell and slumbered with the dead.
- 3:39:38Speaker 1: Five sighed Tekey's son, slaying. Morning with her fiery radiance
- 3:39:44Speaker 1: of the portals of the day shone once more on
- 3:39:48Speaker 1: querew warriors bond of chiefs in dread array. Vima and
- 3:39:52Speaker 1: the Galantachun led once more the van of war, But
- 3:39:55Speaker 1: the proud preceptor Drona faced them in his sounding car
- 3:40:00Speaker 1: steal with gallant son of Virgin Luxman strove with bow
- 3:40:03Speaker 1: and shield, vainly strove His faithful henchmen bore him, pleading
- 3:40:08Speaker 1: from the field. Lutschman, son of proud to Udan A
- 3:40:12Speaker 1: vimenu Arguin's son doomed to die in ute and glory
- 3:40:16Speaker 1: beneath the same revolving sun sat the day for Brishney
- 3:40:21Speaker 1: warriors brave side Thicky's son submied against a cruel Vuristavas
- 3:40:26Speaker 1: strove in unrelenting Five ten brave brothers Pride of Breshney
- 3:40:32Speaker 1: fell upon that fatal day, slain by mighty Wuristravas, and
- 3:40:36Speaker 1: upon the red field lay six we Mu's danger and
- 3:40:43Speaker 1: rescue dawned another day of slaughter. Heathless Wema forced his
- 3:40:49Speaker 1: way through Didenserrii legions who are darkdath and danger lay
- 3:40:55Speaker 1: and the hundred foemen gathered and unequal was the strife
- 3:40:59Speaker 1: we mustrove. Furious valor for his fore feet was his
- 3:41:02Speaker 1: life fair. Panchaal's watchful monarch saw the danger from Afar
- 3:41:08Speaker 1: forced his wayward. Bleeding Wema fought beside his shattered car,
- 3:41:13Speaker 1: and he helped a fainting warrior placed him on his
- 3:41:16Speaker 1: chariot seat. But the curus darkly gathered, surging round as
- 3:41:20Speaker 1: water smeath Origin's son and twelve brave chieftains dashed into
- 3:41:25Speaker 1: the dubious fray. Rescued Vema and proud Rupert from the
- 3:41:29Speaker 1: Kurus green array surging steel. The Krew forces onward came
- 3:41:35Speaker 1: with ceaseless mnd drown a smooth the scattered pandubs till
- 3:41:39Speaker 1: the darksome hours of night seven pandubs, rooted by Vishma.
- 3:41:47Speaker 1: Morning came, and angry June rushed into the dreadful war.
- 3:41:52Speaker 1: Krishna drove his milk quiet coursers onward, flew his sounding car,
- 3:41:57Speaker 1: and before his monkey banner quailed a face and frightened
- 3:42:00Speaker 1: foes till next star on below ocean. Wishma's palm tree
- 3:42:05Speaker 1: banner rose vainly. Then the good it is dear stalwart
- 3:42:09Speaker 1: Vema urgent, brave strove with useless toil and valor, shattered
- 3:42:13Speaker 1: ranks of war to save. Vainly toothed upon the brothers
- 3:42:19Speaker 1: on the peerless Vishma fell gods in sky nor earthly warriors.
- 3:42:23Speaker 1: Wishma's matchless might could quell fell It. Distre's lofty standard
- 3:42:28Speaker 1: shook his chariot, battle tossed, felt his proud and fiery coursers,
- 3:42:33Speaker 1: and the dreadful day was lost. Sadeban knuckle vainly strove
- 3:42:38Speaker 1: with all their might till their broken, scattered forces rested
- 3:42:42Speaker 1: in the shades of night. Eighth Iravat slain Dilton's brother
- 3:42:49Speaker 1: slain Morning saw the turn of battle, Wishma's jerio tear
- 3:42:55Speaker 1: was Lain and his coursers uncontrolled, flew across the reddened
- 3:42:59Speaker 1: place ill it fared with Guru forces when their leader
- 3:43:04Speaker 1: went astray, and their foremost chiefs and warriors with the
- 3:43:07Speaker 1: dead and dying lay. But Gunhar's mounted princess rode across
- 3:43:12Speaker 1: the battleground for its deeds and matchless churchers is Gunhar's realm,
- 3:43:17Speaker 1: renowned and despite the young Yabbad fearce, Guannhar's princess swore
- 3:43:23Speaker 1: brave Yabbad, son of a Jun whom a Naga princess
- 3:43:26Speaker 1: bore mounted on their milk white churchers proudly did the
- 3:43:31Speaker 1: princess sweep like the sea birds, scheming gaily over the
- 3:43:35Speaker 1: bosom of the deep. Five of stout Guntar's princes in
- 3:43:39Speaker 1: that fatal combat fell, and the sixth, in fear and faintness,
- 3:43:43Speaker 1: fled theful tale to tell shortly. Aus Iabat's triumph transient
- 3:43:49Speaker 1: was the victor's joy. Alumbasha, dark and dreadful came against
- 3:43:54Speaker 1: the gallant boy. Fearce and faithful was the combat. Mournful
- 3:43:58Speaker 1: is the tale to tell, Like a lotus rudely severed
- 3:44:02Speaker 1: gallant son of Virgin fell Urgin heard the tale of sorrow,
- 3:44:08Speaker 1: and his heart was filled with grief. Does he speak
- 3:44:11Speaker 1: a father's sanguise? Faint? His accents few and brief? Wherefore
- 3:44:16Speaker 1: Krishna four kingdom mingled in this fatal fray, kinsmen killed,
- 3:44:21Speaker 1: and comrades slaughtered. Dear a last the price we pay
- 3:44:26Speaker 1: wu unto Astina's empire built upon our children's grave, Tearer
- 3:44:31Speaker 1: than the throne of monarchs, was itoveth young and brave,
- 3:44:36Speaker 1: young in ears and rich in beauty, with thy mother's
- 3:44:39Speaker 1: win some eye or does lay in my gallant warriar,
- 3:44:43Speaker 1: and thy father was not nigh, but thy young blood
- 3:44:47Speaker 1: calls for vengeance. Noble Krishna, drive a car, Let them
- 3:44:52Speaker 1: fill the father's proise. Those who sleeve the son in
- 3:44:55Speaker 1: oar and the dash that listening tear drop, and his
- 3:45:00Speaker 1: words were few and brief, broken ranks and slaughtered chieftains
- 3:45:04Speaker 1: spoke an angry father's grief. V Mathu revenged it Abad,
- 3:45:09Speaker 1: and as onwards steel he flew brother sobbed the proud Dirudan.
- 3:45:13Speaker 1: In that fatal combat, Sleeve still advanced the fatal carnage
- 3:45:18Speaker 1: till the darksome close of day, Whan, the Undad and
- 3:45:21Speaker 1: the Wari, with the dead and dying lay nine Pandas
- 3:45:27Speaker 1: rooted by Vishma fell. The thickening shades of darkness on
- 3:45:32Speaker 1: the red and ghastly plain torchesed by the white tents
- 3:45:36Speaker 1: flickered red fire showed the countless lane with the bosom
- 3:45:41Speaker 1: sorrow Leddin proud Urdan drew his breath, wept the issue
- 3:45:44Speaker 1: of the battle, and his warlike brothers dead, spent with
- 3:45:48Speaker 1: grief and silent sorrow slowed. The groom owner gwent where
- 3:45:53Speaker 1: arose in dewey starlight, which most proud and snowy tent,
- 3:45:58Speaker 1: and with tears and hands Gonja joined. Thus the said
- 3:46:01Speaker 1: Dilitan spoke, and his mournful bitter accents oft by heaving
- 3:46:06Speaker 1: sighs were broke. Wishma on thy matchless prois. Koru's hopes
- 3:46:12Speaker 1: and fates depend gods nor man, which are like Vishma
- 3:46:16Speaker 1: can in field of war, content brave in war, or
- 3:46:21Speaker 1: sons of Pandu. But they face not Vishma's mind in
- 3:46:25Speaker 1: their fears and aubtless hatred slay my brothers in the
- 3:46:28Speaker 1: fire mind. I pledge o Chief of Curus, say Vastina's
- 3:46:33Speaker 1: royal race on then sent King my father, grant the
- 3:46:38Speaker 1: never failing grace. If within thy noble bosom pardon guell words,
- 3:46:43Speaker 1: I say, secret love for sons of Pandu holds a
- 3:46:47Speaker 1: soft and partial sway. If thy inner heart's affection anto
- 3:46:52Speaker 1: Pandu's sons incline, grant that colonel laid my forces against
- 3:46:57Speaker 1: a foeman's hostile line. Visma's heart was full of sadness,
- 3:47:02Speaker 1: and his highlids dropped a tear. Soft and mournful were
- 3:47:06Speaker 1: his accents, and his vision true and clear. Vain dogit
- 3:47:11Speaker 1: in is dis contest, and thy mighty host his vain.
- 3:47:16Speaker 1: Why which blood of friendly nations trains this red and reeking? Plain?
- 3:47:21Speaker 1: They must win? Who strong in virtue fight for virtue,
- 3:47:25Speaker 1: stainless laws terribly armed? A stallowed warrior who is armed
- 3:47:29Speaker 1: in righteous cause? Think to you? Then one gunderves took
- 3:47:34Speaker 1: the captive, and the slave didn't dugin ran thy fatters
- 3:47:38Speaker 1: urchin righteous chief and brave. When in Machia's fields a
- 3:47:43Speaker 1: pasture captured, we without skind didn't the June in his
- 3:47:47Speaker 1: valor beat thy countless force and mind. Krishna now has
- 3:47:52Speaker 1: come to Urchin. Krishna drives his battle car gls. Nor
- 3:47:56Speaker 1: man can face these heroes in the field of righteous
- 3:47:59Speaker 1: war ring frowns upon Dee do you then, and upon
- 3:48:04Speaker 1: thy empire state, in thy pride and in thy folly,
- 3:48:08Speaker 1: thou hast court at cruel faith. Wishma Steel will do
- 3:48:13Speaker 1: his duty and his hand. It is not far then
- 3:48:16Speaker 1: many other chieftains follow. Fatal is this school war down
- 3:48:23Speaker 1: the day of mighty slaughter and of dread and deathfuloor
- 3:48:27Speaker 1: an sient Vishma, in his anger, drove once more his
- 3:48:30Speaker 1: sounding car morn to noon and noon's evening. None could
- 3:48:35Speaker 1: face the victor's red broke and shattered. Faint and frightened.
- 3:48:40Speaker 1: Bandus fled before his fat still amidst the dead and dying,
- 3:48:45Speaker 1: moved his proud, resistless car till the gathering night and
- 3:48:49Speaker 1: darkness closed the horrors of the war ten fall of
- 3:48:55Speaker 1: Wishma Good. This deir gazed its sorrow on the dark
- 3:49:00Speaker 1: and ghastly plain, shed his tears on chiefs and warriors
- 3:49:04Speaker 1: by the matchless Wishma slay, veign this unavailing battle, vein
- 3:49:10Speaker 1: this woful loss of life against the death, compelling Vishma
- 3:49:14Speaker 1: hopeless in this artless strife. As a lordly taskar tramples
- 3:49:20Speaker 1: on a marsh of feeble reads, as a forest conflagration
- 3:49:23Speaker 1: on the porch tootland feeds. Vishma rides upon my warriors
- 3:49:28Speaker 1: in his mighty battle. Car God nor mortal chief can
- 3:49:32Speaker 1: face him in the gory field of war. Vain our
- 3:49:36Speaker 1: toil and vain the valor of our Kinsmen loved and lost,
- 3:49:41Speaker 1: vainly fight my faithful brothers by a luckless fortune. Crost
- 3:49:46Speaker 1: nations pour their live blood vainly ceaseless weeks the sound
- 3:49:50Speaker 1: of war. Krishna, stop this cruel carnage unto loots. Once
- 3:49:54Speaker 1: more we go sad. They hold the ment counsel and
- 3:50:00Speaker 1: the chiefs in silence meet and went to ensient Vishma
- 3:50:04Speaker 1: love and mercy to Entriavee. Vishma loved the son Sapantu
- 3:50:09Speaker 1: with a father's loving heart. But from trot unto the
- 3:50:13Speaker 1: juden righteous Vishma would not part son Sapandu, said the
- 3:50:19Speaker 1: chieftain Prince Durudan is my lord. Vishma is no faithless servant,
- 3:50:24Speaker 1: nor will break his plighted word. Valiant aaryinable princess. But
- 3:50:29Speaker 1: the chief is yet unborn. While I lead the course
- 3:50:32Speaker 1: of battle, who the tidle war can turn? Listen more
- 3:50:38Speaker 1: with vanquished foemen or who falls or takes to fight,
- 3:50:42Speaker 1: cast his weapons, craves for marcy and send. Vishma doth
- 3:50:45Speaker 1: not fight Fishma, doth not fight the rival who submits
- 3:50:50Speaker 1: fatigue and warm. Fishma doth not fight the wounded, doth
- 3:50:53Speaker 1: not fight the women born back unto their tents. The
- 3:50:59Speaker 1: pandav starnt Krishna deep and wise, he unto the Ansia surgeon.
- 3:51:03Speaker 1: Thus in solemn whisper cries Urchin, there is hope of trive.
- 3:51:10Speaker 1: Has not faithful Vishma sworn he will fight known the warrior.
- 3:51:14Speaker 1: He will fight. No woman born female child was brave. Secondly,
- 3:51:20Speaker 1: Drupet's youngest son of pride. Gods have turned him to
- 3:51:23Speaker 1: a warrior, placed him by Yudistr's side, place him in
- 3:51:28Speaker 1: the Vanna battle. Mighty Vishma leaves the strife, turnut ease,
- 3:51:32Speaker 1: we fight and conquer, and the forefeet is his life. Shame,
- 3:51:38Speaker 1: exclaimed the angry Urchin. Not in secret heroes fight not
- 3:51:42Speaker 1: behind the child a woman screen their valor and their
- 3:51:45Speaker 1: mind Krishna loth his arched urchem to pursue this hateful
- 3:51:51Speaker 1: strife trick against the seinless Vishma fraud upon his spotless life.
- 3:51:58Speaker 1: Knowest thou good and noble Krishna. As a child I
- 3:52:01Speaker 1: climbed his knee. As a boy I called him father,
- 3:52:05Speaker 1: hung upon him lovingly. Paris's conquest dearly purchased by a mean,
- 3:52:10Speaker 1: deceitful strife, paris crown and Jewel's scaptr one with Vishma's
- 3:52:15Speaker 1: saintly life gravely answered, Noble Krishna. Vishma falls by close
- 3:52:22Speaker 1: of day, victim to the cause of virtue. He himself
- 3:52:26Speaker 1: had showed the way. Dear or hated b Theafoemena June,
- 3:52:31Speaker 1: thou shalt fight and slay Wherefore else the blood of
- 3:52:34Speaker 1: nations hast afford from day to day. Morning dawned and
- 3:52:40Speaker 1: mighty Uchun of Whimen new young and bold drupet Monarchopanchal
- 3:52:45Speaker 1: and bidout stern and old braved Is Tear and his brothers,
- 3:52:50Speaker 1: clad in arms and shining mail, rushed to Oar where
- 3:52:53Speaker 1: Wishma's stand, and gleamed and glittered in the gale, proud
- 3:52:58Speaker 1: to it, and marked their onset and its fatal purpose.
- 3:53:01Speaker 1: New and his bravest men and chieftains against a fiery
- 3:53:04Speaker 1: pandav striew which composed a stalwart monarch and Ttrona's mighty son,
- 3:53:10Speaker 1: a tavaliant bowman Creeper stemmed the battle still unwon, and
- 3:53:15Speaker 1: his younger, fierce d Sassan, thirsting for the deathful war
- 3:53:19Speaker 1: against the helmet dwaring Uchun drew his mighty battle car.
- 3:53:24Speaker 1: As the high and rucked mountain meets the angry ocean's sway,
- 3:53:28Speaker 1: proud Dusassan war to Turchun in his wild and onward way.
- 3:53:32Speaker 1: And as myriad white winged sea birds swoop upon the
- 3:53:36Speaker 1: darksome wave, clouds of dirts and glistening lances drank the
- 3:53:40Speaker 1: red blood of the brave other warlike cour chieftains, came
- 3:53:45Speaker 1: the bravest and the best dronahself and Wagadata, Monarch of
- 3:53:49Speaker 1: the farthest East carbon Selia, mighty Warrior, King of Madra's
- 3:53:55Speaker 1: distant land, Princess from Abundhi's regions, Chiefs from Mala's rocky
- 3:54:00Speaker 1: strand jetdred matchless fighter, King of Sindhu's sounding shore, Chitrasena
- 3:54:07Speaker 1: Anbikirt countless chiefs and warriors more and the face the
- 3:54:12Speaker 1: fiery pandabs, peerless in their warlike might, long and dreadful
- 3:54:17Speaker 1: reached a combat darkly closed the dubious fight. Thus they
- 3:54:21Speaker 1: rose like clouds of summer, glistening dots like lightning play
- 3:54:26Speaker 1: darksome grieved as sky with arrows ticker grewed a gloomy shade.
- 3:54:31Speaker 1: Cars went down and mailed horsemen, soldiers fell in dread array.
- 3:54:36Speaker 1: Elephants with white tasks broken and its mangled bodies lay
- 3:54:41Speaker 1: Urgin and the stalwart Weama, piercing through their countless foes,
- 3:54:46Speaker 1: side by side, impelled their chariots where the palmy standard rose.
- 3:54:51Speaker 1: Where the peerless ancient Vishma, on the dark and fatal day,
- 3:54:55Speaker 1: worrying with abandoned nations, still resistless, held his way on
- 3:55:01Speaker 1: he came his palm tree standard, still the front of battle,
- 3:55:04Speaker 1: knew and like sun from dark cloud's parting, Vishma pursed
- 3:55:08Speaker 1: on Arjin's view, and his eyes brave virgin shaded at
- 3:55:13Speaker 1: the all inspiring side. Half he wished to turn for
- 3:55:17Speaker 1: shelter from the chief of god like mind, but bold
- 3:55:21Speaker 1: Krishna drove his chariot, whispered unto him. His plan urgent
- 3:55:26Speaker 1: placed the young Sikhondi in the deathful battle's van. Vishma
- 3:55:31Speaker 1: viewed the bond of forces with a calm, unmoving face,
- 3:55:35Speaker 1: saw not Aarjin's fair gandhib saw not Wema's mighty mace.
- 3:55:41Speaker 1: Smiled to see the young Secondi rushing to the battle's
- 3:55:44Speaker 1: fore like the foam upon the billow. When the mighty
- 3:55:48Speaker 1: storm winds roar, Vishma thought of ward, he plighted, and
- 3:55:53Speaker 1: the boat that he had sworn dropped his arms before
- 3:55:56Speaker 1: the warrior, who was but a female born, and the standard,
- 3:56:01Speaker 1: which no warrior ever saw in Bay's retreat, idly stood
- 3:56:05Speaker 1: upon the chariot tree with shade on Vishma's seeth, and
- 3:56:10Speaker 1: the flagstaff fell dishivered on the crushed and broken car
- 3:56:14Speaker 1: as from majure sky of midnight falls the Mateor's flaming
- 3:56:17Speaker 1: star not by young Sikhandi's arrows. Vishma's palm tary standard
- 3:56:22Speaker 1: fell n Sikundi's feeble lances. Did the peerless Vishma quail
- 3:56:28Speaker 1: true to oath. The bleeding chieftain turned his darkening face away, torned,
- 3:56:33Speaker 1: and fell. The sun declining marked the closing of the
- 3:56:36Speaker 1: day and the dust. The fatal battle truce came at
- 3:56:41Speaker 1: the close of day Kuruz and the silent Panda suant
- 3:56:45Speaker 1: where Vishma, dyeing lay Urgin wept as for a father
- 3:56:50Speaker 1: weeps his sad and soaring son gooded his deer curs.
- 3:56:54Speaker 1: The morning Kurukshetra's war begun, stood to Yodhanandi's brothers mantled
- 3:57:00Speaker 1: with the gloom of grief. Foes, like laughing brothers, sorrowed
- 3:57:04Speaker 1: round the great the dying chief, arguinskin and pointed arrows
- 3:57:09Speaker 1: made the hero's dying bed, and in soft and gentle
- 3:57:13Speaker 1: accents to Toyoden. Thus he said, listen unto my words,
- 3:57:18Speaker 1: to euden atter to my latest breath, list to Vishma's
- 3:57:22Speaker 1: dying counsel, and rever the voice of death and this
- 3:57:27Speaker 1: dread and doubtful battle. If thy stony heart can grieve,
- 3:57:31Speaker 1: save the chieftain's tomb to slaughter. Bid the fated nations
- 3:57:35Speaker 1: leave round his kingdom. To it is his deer righteous men,
- 3:57:40Speaker 1: beloved of Heaven, Keep dionas Dina's regions. Be the hapless
- 3:57:44Speaker 1: past forgiven vain alas the voice of Vishma, like the
- 3:57:50Speaker 1: voice of angels spoke hatred dearer than his lifeblood in
- 3:57:54Speaker 1: the proud to you than woke darker greved a gloomy midnight,
- 3:57:59Speaker 1: and the princes went their way on his bed of
- 3:58:02Speaker 1: pointed arrows, wish malone and dying Laykern, though he loved
- 3:58:08Speaker 1: not Vishma, whilst the chieftain lived in fame. Gently to
- 3:58:12Speaker 1: the dying Wishma in the midnight darkness came wish my heart,
- 3:58:17Speaker 1: the tread of Kurn, and the optis glazing eye. Speak
- 3:58:21Speaker 1: in love, and speak in sadness. And his bosom heaved
- 3:58:24Speaker 1: a shy pride and envy. Noble Courn filled our warlike
- 3:58:30Speaker 1: hearts with strife, discord ends with breath departing, and we
- 3:58:35Speaker 1: sinks with fleeting life. More I have to tell thee Kern,
- 3:58:40Speaker 1: but my parting breath may fail. Feeble are my dying accents,
- 3:58:44Speaker 1: and my pouched leaves are pale urgent beats. Not Noblekurn
- 3:58:50Speaker 1: in the deeds of well or done, nor excels in
- 3:58:53Speaker 1: Bart and lineage Cairn thou Art, Pritha's son Pritta Bordi,
- 3:58:58Speaker 1: still unwedded, and his son inspired thy Bart god born man,
- 3:59:03Speaker 1: no mighty archer dreads this broad and spacious art. Prita
- 3:59:08Speaker 1: Kasti in her sorrow, he deed a maiden shame. And
- 3:59:13Speaker 1: the driver not thy father, nursty chief of warlike faith Urginius,
- 3:59:19Speaker 1: Thai Brader Kern, and this said fraternal war seek not
- 3:59:24Speaker 1: lifeblood of Thai Brader, nor against him drive their car
- 3:59:30Speaker 1: vain alas the voice of Vishma, like a heavenly warning,
- 3:59:34Speaker 1: spoke hatred dearer than his lifeblood. In the vengeful Kern
- 3:59:38Speaker 1: woke end of book eighth, Book nine Dronabad Fall of Drona.
- 3:59:50Speaker 1: On the fall of Vishma, the Brahmu chief Dronah, preceptor
- 3:59:54Speaker 1: of the Kuru and Panda princess, was appointed the leader
- 3:59:57Speaker 1: of the Kuru forces. For five days, Dronah held his
- 4:00:01Speaker 1: own against the Pandavs, and some of the incidents of
- 4:00:04Speaker 1: these days, like the fall of a a Menu and
- 4:00:07Speaker 1: the vengeance a virgin, are among the most steering passages
- 4:00:10Speaker 1: in the epic. The description of the different standards of
- 4:00:14Speaker 1: the Pandam and the Kuru warriors is also interesting. At last,
- 4:00:19Speaker 1: Droonah slew his ancient foe, the king of the Panchals,
- 4:00:22Speaker 1: and was then slain by his son the prince of
- 4:00:25Speaker 1: the Panchaals. The book is an a Richmond of Book
- 4:00:29Speaker 1: seven of the original text. One single combat between Wema
- 4:00:35Speaker 1: and Celia Morning ushered in the battle won the warrior's
- 4:00:41Speaker 1: hardly tread Drona pressed and proud preceptor. Now the Kuru
- 4:00:45Speaker 1: forces led and the poe compelling Drona pledge distraughts and solemored.
- 4:00:52Speaker 1: He would take it a steer captive to Hastina's hofty lord,
- 4:00:56Speaker 1: but the ever faithful Virgin to his virtuous elder bow,
- 4:01:00Speaker 1: and in clear and manful accents speak his warlike thoughts aloud.
- 4:01:06Speaker 1: Sacred is our great preceptor. Sacred is a Charia's life.
- 4:01:10Speaker 1: Urgin may not slay his teacher, even in this mortal strife.
- 4:01:15Speaker 1: Saving this commands of Monarch Urgin's bow and warlick sword
- 4:01:19Speaker 1: for thy safety, honored elder Urgent takes his plighted word
- 4:01:25Speaker 1: matchless in the auto battle is our teacher fierce and dread,
- 4:01:29Speaker 1: but he comes not to it histear save over blood
- 4:01:32Speaker 1: of virgin shed Morning witnessed Dottie Drona foremost in the
- 4:01:37Speaker 1: battle's tide, But it is Steers warlike chieftains compassed him
- 4:01:41Speaker 1: on every side. Foremost of the youthful chieftains came registless.
- 4:01:46Speaker 1: Urgent's son, father's blood and milk of Mader fired his
- 4:01:50Speaker 1: deeds of wellor done. As the lion of the jungle
- 4:01:54Speaker 1: drags the ox into his lair, Abi Menu from his chariot,
- 4:01:58Speaker 1: dragged Powerba by the hair Cheddreth. King of Sindhu, marked
- 4:02:04Speaker 1: a faint and bleeding chief, leaping from his car of battle, wrathful,
- 4:02:09Speaker 1: came to his relief of Vimanu left his captive, turned
- 4:02:14Speaker 1: upon the mightier foe and its sword, and hardened buckler
- 4:02:17Speaker 1: gave and ferried many a blow. Rank to rank from
- 4:02:22Speaker 1: both the forces. Cry of admiration rose, streaming men poured
- 4:02:26Speaker 1: forte in wonder, watched the combat fierce and clothes piercing
- 4:02:31Speaker 1: of ymn news. Buckler judged sent his stroke, but the
- 4:02:34Speaker 1: torned and twisted sword blade snapping in the midway, broke weaponless.
- 4:02:39Speaker 1: The King of Sindhu ran into his sheltering car. Celia
- 4:02:43Speaker 1: came on to his rescue from a battlefield of fire,
- 4:02:47Speaker 1: dauntless on the new assailant Urgin's son, his weapon drew,
- 4:02:51Speaker 1: interposing in TwixT of fighters. We myself on Selia flu
- 4:02:56Speaker 1: stout as wrestlers in the armies, peerless fighters, the Maize,
- 4:03:01Speaker 1: Vema and the stalwart Celia stood a post face to face.
- 4:03:05Speaker 1: Hamp unfastening bombed their maces, and the wire of twisted gold,
- 4:03:10Speaker 1: whiling bright in circling flashes, shook their stuff. The warrior's
- 4:03:14Speaker 1: billed off the truck, and sparks of red fire issued
- 4:03:19Speaker 1: from the season out. Unlike horned bulls infuriate madras, King
- 4:03:23Speaker 1: and Vema stood closer still. They came like tigers, closing
- 4:03:28Speaker 1: with their reddened paws, or like taskers with their red
- 4:03:32Speaker 1: dusks eagles with the randing claws loud as in drass
- 4:03:36Speaker 1: peels of thunder steel. Their blows were echoed round rank
- 4:03:40Speaker 1: to rank. The startled soldiers heard the oft repeated sound,
- 4:03:45Speaker 1: but as strikes in vain the lightning on the solid
- 4:03:48Speaker 1: mountain rock, Vema, not a fearless Celia, fell or moved
- 4:03:52Speaker 1: beneath the shark closer drew the watchful heroes and their
- 4:03:57Speaker 1: clubs were wielded well till by many blows belavered. Both
- 4:04:01Speaker 1: the fainting fighters fell like a drunkard taste, and reeling
- 4:04:06Speaker 1: Wema rose his toff to wield senseless celia, heavy breathing
- 4:04:10Speaker 1: henchmen carried from the field, reading like a wounded serpent.
- 4:04:15Speaker 1: Lifted from the field of war, he was carried by
- 4:04:18Speaker 1: his soldiers to the shelter of his car. Droonah still
- 4:04:22Speaker 1: would matchless prowse, would redeem his plighted word. Sought to
- 4:04:26Speaker 1: take it his deer captive to douryoden Curu's lord Vainly.
- 4:04:31Speaker 1: Then the twin born brothers came to cross the conqueror's path.
- 4:04:36Speaker 1: Machies Lord bon Charles Monarch vainly faced him in his
- 4:04:39Speaker 1: red rank to rank the criery sounded circling over the battlefield.
- 4:04:45Speaker 1: Dronah takes it his deer captive with his weapons, sword
- 4:04:48Speaker 1: and shield. Urgin heard the dreadful message, and in haste
- 4:04:53Speaker 1: and fury came strove to save his king and elder
- 4:04:56Speaker 1: and redeem his loyal fame. Speeding his milk, white coursers
- 4:05:01Speaker 1: dashed into the teak of war, blew his shrill and
- 4:05:04Speaker 1: dreaded Sunka drove his sounding battle car fiercer darker grew
- 4:05:10Speaker 1: the battle one above the red and plain evening drew
- 4:05:13Speaker 1: her peaceful mantle over the living and the slain two
- 4:05:20Speaker 1: standards of the Pandavs. Morning came steal rounded his tear.
- 4:05:26Speaker 1: Jonah led the gathering war Origin fought the Somer sub
- 4:05:30Speaker 1: ducts in the battlefield Afar, but the Prince of Air
- 4:05:33Speaker 1: Panchal marked his father's ancient foe and against a doughty
- 4:05:38Speaker 1: Drona chasted in me your Banti's bow. But as dark
- 4:05:42Speaker 1: some cloudy masses, angry gustus of storm divide through the
- 4:05:46Speaker 1: scattered fainting foreman, Jonah drove his car in pride, steats
- 4:05:51Speaker 1: went down and riven chariots. Young Panchaald torned and fled onward.
- 4:05:56Speaker 1: Drove resistless Drona over the dying and the dead. One

- 4:11:09Speaker 1: pairing on the battle strat array, vainly strove to force
- 4:11:12Speaker 1: a passage, vainly sought their onward way of Menu. Young
- 4:11:18Speaker 1: and fiery dashed alone into the war, reckless to the

- 4:11:29Speaker 1: nying steeds and warriors slain fell before the furious hero
- 4:11:33Speaker 1: as he made a castly lane. Proud Ruden rushed to

- 4:12:04Speaker 1: dread honoring bow. Onward steel went of Emenu. Celia strove
- 4:12:09Speaker 1: and fought in vain, and his warriors took him, Pleading
- 4:12:13Speaker 1: from the reddened battle plain. Next to Sussen, darkly lowering,

- 4:12:22Speaker 1: kinsman and the dearest foe Art thou, he said of Emenu,
- 4:12:29Speaker 1: known for cruel word and deed, impious in thy heart
- 4:12:32Speaker 1: and purpose, base and rootless in thy greed. Didst thou
- 4:12:37Speaker 1: with the false SACONI win a realm by low device,
- 4:12:40Speaker 1: when his kingdom from it is dere by ignoble trick
- 4:12:44Speaker 1: of the eyes. Didst thou in the council chamber with

- 4:13:25Speaker 1: dead like a snake upon an antel onto Sassan's wicked
- 4:13:30Speaker 1: heart fell tissing red and fury of in my new's
- 4:13:33Speaker 1: fiery dirt from the loss of blood to Sassan fainted
- 4:13:38Speaker 1: on his battle car. Kuru chieftains bore him senseless from
- 4:13:42Speaker 1: the blood stained scene of war. Next, in claiming arms,
- 4:13:47Speaker 1: a Cordred came the Riten's gallant son, proud and warlike
- 4:13:51Speaker 1: as his father famed for deeds of valor, dane, young
- 4:13:56Speaker 1: in years and rich in valor for alas he fought
- 4:14:00Speaker 1: too well and before his weeping father, proud and gallant
- 4:14:04Speaker 1: Lutchmen fell onward, steel went of Amenu. Midst the dying
- 4:14:09Speaker 1: and the dead shook from rank to rank. The curus
- 4:14:12Speaker 1: and their shattered army fled. Then the impious Jeddrath, king
- 4:14:17Speaker 1: of Sindu's sounding shore, came fourteen unrighteous concert with six
- 4:14:22Speaker 1: carborn warriors more darkly closed the fatal circle with the
- 4:14:27Speaker 1: gulfing sergeous Moan, dauntless with the seven brief chieftains of
- 4:14:31Speaker 1: Amnue fought alone, fell alas his peacock standard and his
- 4:14:37Speaker 1: car was broken to a bow and sever ramped and shattered,
- 4:14:41Speaker 1: and his faithful drivers lay heedless yet of death and
- 4:14:46Speaker 1: danger misty with the loss of blood of Womanho wiped
- 4:14:50Speaker 1: his forehead, gazed where dark hissed Foemen stood. Then with
- 4:14:56Speaker 1: while despairing valor, flickering flame and closing life maize in hand,
- 4:15:01Speaker 1: the heedless warrior rushed to empt the mortal Strive rushed
- 4:15:05Speaker 1: upon his startled Foemen of Avenue fought and fell and
- 4:15:09Speaker 1: his deeds to distant ages, birds and wandering minstrel's tail
- 4:15:14Speaker 1: like a taskar of the forest. By surrounding hunters slain
- 4:15:18Speaker 1: liked conjumming wildfire quanced upon the distant plain like a mountain,
- 4:15:24Speaker 1: shaking tempest, spent in force and hushed and steel, like
- 4:15:28Speaker 1: the red resplendent day God setting on the western heel,
- 4:15:33Speaker 1: like the moon, serene and beauteous, quenched in eclipse, dark
- 4:15:36Speaker 1: and pale, lifeless, lamberd of avenue. When the softened starlight
- 4:15:41Speaker 1: fell done the day of death and slaughter, Darkening shadows
- 4:15:47Speaker 1: close around. Wearied warriors seek for shelter on the vast
- 4:15:51Speaker 1: and tented ground. Soldiers camp fires, brightly blazing tent lights
- 4:15:57Speaker 1: shining from afar cast their feet, gleaming radiance on the
- 4:16:01Speaker 1: carnage of the war Urchin from a field at distance,
- 4:16:06Speaker 1: whereupon the day he fought with diver faithful Krishna. Now
- 4:16:10Speaker 1: his nightly shelters are. Wherefore Krishna, uttered Urchin, Evil omens
- 4:16:17Speaker 1: strike my eye, Thoughts of sadness fill my bosom, wake
- 4:16:21Speaker 1: the long forgotten sigh. Wherefore voice of evening bugle speaks
- 4:16:26Speaker 1: not on the battlefield marry counts, nor sounding trumpet music
- 4:16:31Speaker 1: to the warrior's seal. Harp is hushed within the dark tents,
- 4:16:36Speaker 1: and the voice of warlike song birds beside the evening
- 4:16:40Speaker 1: camp fire. Tales of war do not prolong unitis tuer
- 4:16:45Speaker 1: stamped is voiceless, and my brothers look so pale of human.
- 4:16:49Speaker 1: You comes not joyous Krishna and desire to hail. A
- 4:16:54Speaker 1: woman knows love and greeting, blessed like placings from above, fearsuvadra,
- 4:17:00Speaker 1: joy and treasure, Urgent's pride and hope and love. Softly
- 4:17:06Speaker 1: and with many tear drops, did the sad dis stirred teale.
- 4:17:10Speaker 1: How in dreadful field of battle, gallant of you Minue fell,
- 4:17:14Speaker 1: How the impious Jedrad fell on Urgune's youthful son, he
- 4:17:19Speaker 1: with six proud grew chieftains of women all alone. How
- 4:17:24Speaker 1: the young prince raft of weapon, and the brived of
- 4:17:27Speaker 1: steed and car fell as false shattre. A warrior fighting
- 4:17:31Speaker 1: on the field of war, Urgin heard the father's bosom
- 4:17:37Speaker 1: felt a cruel, cureless wound. Brave and gallant boy, said Urgeum,
- 4:17:42Speaker 1: and he sank upon the ground. Moments passed the voiceless
- 4:17:47Speaker 1: sorrow and the speechless, bitter tear sobs within his mail
- 4:17:51Speaker 1: Bosom smote the weeping listener's ear. Moments passed with rising anger,
- 4:17:58Speaker 1: quivered Argine's siren frame of in my news, cruel martyr
- 4:18:02Speaker 1: smote the father's heart to flame. Didst thou say that
- 4:18:07Speaker 1: Sindhu's monarch on my woman new boar he alone and
- 4:18:11Speaker 1: judderously with six marders? More, didst thou say the impious
- 4:18:16Speaker 1: crews stooped unto this deed of shame, outrage on the
- 4:18:21Speaker 1: laws of honor, stain not any warrior's fame, father's curse
- 4:18:26Speaker 1: and warrior's hatred, sting them to their dying breath. For
- 4:18:30Speaker 1: they feared my boy in battle, haunted him to cruel dead.
- 4:18:35Speaker 1: Hear my vow, benign you diictir, hear me Christian nariteous
- 4:18:39Speaker 1: lord Urgin's hands shall slay the slare urgent plights, his
- 4:18:43Speaker 1: soul and mold. May I never reach the bright sky
- 4:18:47Speaker 1: where the riteous fathers dwell. May I, with the darkest sceners,
- 4:18:52Speaker 1: leave within the deepest hell with the man who slay
- 4:18:55Speaker 1: their father's shed their loving mother's blood, stain the sacred
- 4:19:00Speaker 1: bad of gurus, steal their gold and holy food, cherries, envy,
- 4:19:05Speaker 1: cheat your kinsman, speak the low and dustred lie. If
- 4:19:09Speaker 1: fear comes Tomorrow's sunset Jaddreath doth not die. Jedd Jedd
- 4:19:14Speaker 1: dies tomorrow, victim to my vengeful liar argunels shall yield
- 4:19:19Speaker 1: his weapons, perish on the flaming pyre. Softer tear drops
- 4:19:25Speaker 1: wept a mother joyless was Suadra's life, Christna's fair and
- 4:19:30Speaker 1: honored sister, Urgin's dear and loved wife. Doest a lie
- 4:19:35Speaker 1: on field of battle, smear to dust and foremen's goore,
- 4:19:40Speaker 1: child of light and love and sweetness, whom thy hapless
- 4:19:43Speaker 1: mother bore, soft dyine eye as budding lotus, sweet and
- 4:19:48Speaker 1: gentle was thy face. Ardo's soft eyes closed in slumber,
- 4:19:53Speaker 1: faded in that peerless grace, and thy leams so young
- 4:19:58Speaker 1: and tender on the bearerar to do delight, while the
- 4:20:02Speaker 1: hungry jackal prowlet and the vulture flutters nigh. Golden jewels, grace,

- 4:20:23Speaker 1: minue and in debt obtain relief. Art to me is
- 4:20:28Speaker 1: void and cheerless, joyless in my heart and home dreary
- 4:20:33Speaker 1: without of I Minue, is this weary world to rome,
- 4:20:37Speaker 1: And oh cheerless is that young heart of in my
- 4:20:41Speaker 1: news Prince's wife, What can said, suvadraufer to her joyous
- 4:20:46Speaker 1: sunless life? Close our life in equal darkness for our

- 4:20:55Speaker 1: and treasure of I Minue, dead and gone long, bewailed, anguished, murder,
- 4:21:02Speaker 1: fair dropody to'er her hair my chest. Princess early widiowed,
- 4:21:07Speaker 1: shed her young heart's blood in tear. Four standards of
- 4:21:14Speaker 1: the Kurus are June's revenge morning from the face of battle,
- 4:21:21Speaker 1: Night's depending caught in drew long and shrill, his sounding
- 4:21:25Speaker 1: sunka thend the wrathful urgin bleue crews knew the vow
- 4:21:30Speaker 1: of virgin, heard the Sunka's deathful blare as it rose
- 4:21:34Speaker 1: above the rat field, trilled the startled morning air speed
- 4:21:39Speaker 1: my Krishna, outspeaker Jem as he held alofty bow. For
- 4:21:44Speaker 1: to day my task is dretful, cruel is my mighty vow.
- 4:21:49Speaker 1: Fiery coursers urged by Krishna, flew with lightning's rapid course,
- 4:21:53Speaker 1: dashing through the hostile warriors, and the serried crew force
- 4:21:58Speaker 1: brave dumas and faced the hero. But he drove and
- 4:22:02Speaker 1: fought in vain. Onward thundered urgent chariot over the dying
- 4:22:06Speaker 1: and the slain fears the Sassan, which his taskers rushed
- 4:22:11Speaker 1: into the final war. But the taskar's broken panic Onward
- 4:22:15Speaker 1: s teale. When Arjun's car drown Aden the proud preceptor,
- 4:22:21Speaker 1: Urgin's furious progress tape teardrops filled the eye of Virgin.
- 4:22:25Speaker 1: As these gentle words he said, Pardon father, if thy
- 4:22:30Speaker 1: pupil shouts to day, I offered war against his a
- 4:22:34Speaker 1: vimanu slayer, Urgent speats his battle car, not against my
- 4:22:39Speaker 1: great acharia. Is my wrathful bowstring drawn, not against the
- 4:22:43Speaker 1: loved father fights a loving duty as son heavy on
- 4:22:48Speaker 1: this bleeding bosom seats the darkening load of war, and
- 4:22:52Speaker 1: an injured father's vengeance seeks the slaughtered hero's foe. Pardon then,
- 4:22:57Speaker 1: if sorrowing Urgin seeks a far distant way, mighty is
- 4:23:02Speaker 1: the vow of Virgin. Cruel is his task to day.
- 4:23:06Speaker 1: Passing by the darty Drouna, Onward sped the fiery car
- 4:23:10Speaker 1: through the broken line of warriors, through the shattered ranks
- 4:23:13Speaker 1: of war Ungas, and the brave Galingas vainly crossed his
- 4:23:18Speaker 1: wrathful way, proud aw on these from the regions where
- 4:23:22Speaker 1: fair Jumbald's water stray famed Avon this faded princes vainly
- 4:23:27Speaker 1: led their highland force fell beneath the rat of Virgin,
- 4:23:31Speaker 1: said Nor stopped his onward course. Onward, steel, with speed
- 4:23:36Speaker 1: of lightning thundered Urchin's battle car to the spot where
- 4:23:40Speaker 1: Jadrath stood behind the ranks of war Now the sun
- 4:23:45Speaker 1: from highest janet red and fiery radiance, length long and
- 4:23:50Speaker 1: weary was the passage. Urgin's foaming steeds were spent. Urgin said,
- 4:23:56Speaker 1: the faithful Krishna ardwus his die cruel quest. But by
- 4:24:00Speaker 1: foaming Courser's falter underneath a moment's rest be it so?
- 4:24:06Speaker 1: Brave Virgin answered, from our chariot, we alight rest a
- 4:24:10Speaker 1: while they weary horses. Krishna I will watch the fire.
- 4:24:15Speaker 1: Speaking Thus, the armed u jung lightly leaped upon the lee, stoodent,
- 4:24:20Speaker 1: guarded to bow and arrow by the green and shady tree.
- 4:24:24Speaker 1: Krishna groomed the jatted horses faint and feeble, rather to
- 4:24:28Speaker 1: gore with a healing handed tan the wounds. The bleeding
- 4:24:31Speaker 1: courser's bore watered them beside the river by the Jaffire's
- 4:24:36Speaker 1: soft cares, gave unto them welcome fodder, gave unto them
- 4:24:40Speaker 1: needful rest. Thus refreshed the noble coursers Krishna harness to
- 4:24:45Speaker 1: the car, and the gleaming hal Legeon rushed once more
- 4:24:49Speaker 1: into the war came on him the cool warriors darksome waves,
- 4:24:54Speaker 1: succeeding wave standards decked with strange devices, streaming banners, reach
- 4:24:59Speaker 1: and pray. Foremost was the glorious standard of Preceptor Drona's son,
- 4:25:06Speaker 1: Lion's tale in golden brilliance on his battle jarget shorn.
- 4:25:11Speaker 1: Oliphant's rope was current send, signed made of rich and
- 4:25:14Speaker 1: burnished gold, and the bulbetack the standard of the bowman
- 4:25:19Speaker 1: creep a bold piccock made of precious metal, dacked jewels,
- 4:25:24Speaker 1: rich and rare. Pricessina's noble standard shown aloft, serene and
- 4:25:29Speaker 1: fair plowshare of a golden lusser, shining like the radiant
- 4:25:33Speaker 1: flame spoke the car of Mighty Celia madrasking of warlike fame,
- 4:25:39Speaker 1: far and guarded well by chieftains shown the dazzling silver
- 4:25:43Speaker 1: boar en signed proud of Jadrath, brought from Sindul's sounding shore.
- 4:25:50Speaker 1: On the car of Somedata shown a stake of sacrifice,
- 4:25:54Speaker 1: silver boar and golden parrots. These were Salua's proud device,
- 4:26:00Speaker 1: last and brightest of the standards. On the Prince Studiotan's car.
- 4:26:04Speaker 1: Lordly elephant in jewels proudly shown above the war nine
- 4:26:09Speaker 1: heroic crew, chieftains, bravest warriors and the best league. I
- 4:26:14Speaker 1: come to grapple Urgum and on faithful Krishna pressed urgent,
- 4:26:19Speaker 1: swept like sweeping warlowind all resistless in his force, Satnavoe
- 4:26:24Speaker 1: and Wagin combat held his ever onward course. For he
- 4:26:29Speaker 1: sighted Jadred meets the circling chiefs of war against that
- 4:26:33Speaker 1: warrior gream and silent Virgin drove his furious car. Now
- 4:26:39Speaker 1: the day God rolled his chariot on the western clouds
- 4:26:43Speaker 1: of flame. Kern self and five great chieftains round brave
- 4:26:47Speaker 1: Jadreds came vainly strove the valiant Urchin struggling against the
- 4:26:53Speaker 1: Kuru line, charged upon the peerless carn as he marked
- 4:26:57Speaker 1: the day's decline. Krishna then a prayer whispered, came a
- 4:27:02Speaker 1: friendly sable cloud, a veiled the red sun's dazzling brilliance
- 4:27:06Speaker 1: in a dark and inkish shroud. Caurnandeemed the evening darkness
- 4:27:11Speaker 1: now proclaimed the close of strife. Failing in his plighted promise,
- 4:27:16Speaker 1: Urgin must surrender life, and his comrade chiefs, rejoicing slackened
- 4:27:21Speaker 1: in their furious fight, Judget hailed it to gladness, thickening
- 4:27:26Speaker 1: shades of welcome night. In that sad and fatal error
- 4:27:31Speaker 1: did the coro chief's combine urgent, quick as bolt of
- 4:27:34Speaker 1: lightning broke their roll unguarded line, like an onward sweeping wildfire,
- 4:27:40Speaker 1: shooting forth its lolling tongue on the startled judged Urchin,
- 4:27:44Speaker 1: in his fury flung shot the strife, as angry falcon
- 4:27:49Speaker 1: swoops upon its helpless prey, urgent Spath's vengeful arrow and
- 4:27:53Speaker 1: his poeman lifeless lay. Friendly winds removed the dark cloud
- 4:27:58Speaker 1: from the reddening western hill, and the sun in crimson
- 4:28:01Speaker 1: Lusser cast its fiery radiance teel Ere, the evening's mantling
- 4:28:07Speaker 1: darkness fell over distant heel and playing proud. Duridan's many
- 4:28:12Speaker 1: brothers wereby vengeful Fema slain and Duryodhan stung by sorrow, wasted,
- 4:28:18Speaker 1: still unceasing fight in the teak and gathering darkness, tortuous
- 4:28:23Speaker 1: lit the gloom of night. Kern, furious in his anger
- 4:28:27Speaker 1: for his Jadreatha Slane and for brothers of Durutan, sleeping
- 4:28:32Speaker 1: lifeless on the plane against the gallant son of Wema,
- 4:28:36Speaker 1: drove his deep, resounding car and in gloom and midnight
- 4:28:40Speaker 1: darkness waked the cause of the war. Wema's son brave
- 4:28:44Speaker 1: Katutkat twice, proud Kurn's horses sleeve twice. The humble, steedless
- 4:28:50Speaker 1: Curn from the dubious battle fleew came again. The fiery Curn.
- 4:28:56Speaker 1: Vengeance flamed it in his heart like the midnight's lurid
- 4:29:00Speaker 1: lightning spath his fell and fatal dart. Woeful was the
- 4:29:04Speaker 1: hour of darkness. Luckless was the starry's way. Wema's son
- 4:29:09Speaker 1: in Newton Valor, lifeless on the ratfield lay then was closed,
- 4:29:14Speaker 1: the midnight battle silent shown the starry light. Wema knew
- 4:29:19Speaker 1: nor rest nor slumber through the long and woful night.
- 4:29:24Speaker 1: Five fall of drona Ere. The crimson morning glittered proud
- 4:29:30Speaker 1: to it and sad at heart to the leader of
- 4:29:33Speaker 1: the Kurus. Did his sorrows? Does impart sadly speech the contest?
- 4:29:39Speaker 1: Drona on the battle's gory plain koruchiefs are teened and fallen,
- 4:29:44Speaker 1: and my brothers mostly slaying. Can it be Obita brahmanas
- 4:29:50Speaker 1: peerless in the art of war? Can it be that
- 4:29:53Speaker 1: we shall falter while thou speedest the battle car Pandus
- 4:29:58Speaker 1: sunser bad, thy pupils Urgin meets thee Not in fight
- 4:30:02Speaker 1: none can face the greater Ajaria in his rat and
- 4:30:05Speaker 1: warlike mind. Wherefore then in every battle are the cour
- 4:30:09Speaker 1: chieftain slain? Wherefore lie my warlike brothers lifeless on the
- 4:30:14Speaker 1: ghastly play? Is it that the faiths of battle against
- 4:30:19Speaker 1: the Kuru house combined? Is it that thy heart's affection
- 4:30:23Speaker 1: unto Pandu's sons incline, If thy secret love and mercy
- 4:30:28Speaker 1: steal the sons of Pandu Clay yield thy place to
- 4:30:31Speaker 1: gallant kern On, God's prince of warlike fame, answered Dronah,
- 4:30:37Speaker 1: brief and wrathful, fair Gundhar's royal son rapist. All the
- 4:30:42Speaker 1: gory harvest of thy sinful actions done cast no blame
- 4:30:46Speaker 1: on eat presumption only warrior's fleecy hair, faithful unto death.
- 4:30:51Speaker 1: Is Drona to his promise blighted fair? Ask thyself, o Prince,
- 4:30:57Speaker 1: do you then bound by battle's sacred laws? Wherefore fight
- 4:31:01Speaker 1: is not a turcheen for thy house and for thy cause?
- 4:31:05Speaker 1: Asked the dark and deep Sacuni. Where is now his
- 4:31:08Speaker 1: low device? Wherefore wills he not his weapon as he
- 4:31:12Speaker 1: wills the load that dies? Asked the chief, who proudly
- 4:31:16Speaker 1: boasted arched Urchin healed slay halmdurjon swais the battle. Whither
- 4:31:21Speaker 1: now doth carne stay no the truth the gallandchen hath
- 4:31:27Speaker 1: no peer on art below, and no warrior breeds. Do
- 4:31:31Speaker 1: you then, who can face thy helmed foe? Dronah knows
- 4:31:36Speaker 1: his sacred duty and it is wild by heaven on
- 4:31:39Speaker 1: high Urchin or Preceptor Drona, shall in this day's battle die? Now?
- 4:31:45Speaker 1: The sun in crimson splendor, rolled his car of listening gold,
- 4:31:50Speaker 1: sent his shafts of purple radiance on the plain and
- 4:31:53Speaker 1: mountain bold, and from elephant and churchier, from each bravely
- 4:31:59Speaker 1: bannered car lighted male kings and chieftains and leaders of

- 4:32:07Speaker 1: sacred mantra told hymns by unsentry, she is chanted, sanctified
- 4:32:12Speaker 1: by birds of old worship done, Each silent warrior mounts
- 4:32:17Speaker 1: the car or battle steed onward to the deathful contest.
- 4:32:21Speaker 1: Did his gallant forces lead ill it it fair with

- 4:32:29Speaker 1: was none midst living warriors of the Brahman trained and
- 4:32:32Speaker 1: scaled Urjun, Faithful to his promise, his preceptor would not
- 4:32:38Speaker 1: fight King, nor chief nor other archer dared to face
- 4:32:42Speaker 1: his fearless mnd. But old field like potent poison fires
- 4:32:48Speaker 1: the warrior's heart with strife, sire to son, still unforgotten,
- 4:32:53Speaker 1: leaves the het from death to life. Wrathful Princess of
- 4:32:57Speaker 1: Panchal by their deathless hatreds soder and sent foe in
- 4:33:02Speaker 1: Drona and on him for vengeance sprung darkly, taught, dense
- 4:33:07Speaker 1: and warrior of the old relentless field fiercely like a
- 4:33:11Speaker 1: jungle tiger, fell upon the hostile brood. Royal Rupert's valiant
- 4:33:17Speaker 1: grandsons in their youth, untimely slain victims of a doubtless discord,
- 4:33:22Speaker 1: pressed the gory battle playing Drupert, pale with grief and anger,
- 4:33:28Speaker 1: marked his gallant grandson's dead, and his army broken rooted,
- 4:33:32Speaker 1: and his bravest chieftains fled, filled with unforgoten hatred and
- 4:33:37Speaker 1: his father's grief and pride, rushed the king and bold
- 4:33:41Speaker 1: Birad charged by Dotty Rupert's side, rose a cry of
- 4:33:45Speaker 1: nameless terror over the red and ghastly plain Noble Rupet
- 4:33:50Speaker 1: brave dad Clay among the countless Slane. Burning tears, the
- 4:33:55Speaker 1: proud Ropardy wept for noble father killed, made in mattre
- 4:34:00Speaker 1: with their wailing fair Puanchal's empire field, much as joyless
- 4:34:05Speaker 1: wid old Princess, for her fate was hourly crossed, wept
- 4:34:09Speaker 1: to tad the tears and anguish for her father loved
- 4:34:13Speaker 1: and lost, which the war with fearful slaughter. Drona onward
- 4:34:18Speaker 1: oursed his way fate alone, and battle's chuanches changed the
- 4:34:22Speaker 1: fortunes of the day. As'twama, son of Drona, was a
- 4:34:27Speaker 1: chief of peerless fame and an elephant of battle, bore
- 4:34:31Speaker 1: the chieftain's warlike name, and that proud and lordly taskar
- 4:34:35Speaker 1: Wema in his prowess sleeo rank to rank, from friend
- 4:34:39Speaker 1: to women. Then gurbled Massa's fleo Osatoma, son of Dronah,
- 4:34:45Speaker 1: is by mighty Wema Slane. Dronah heard that fatal message,
- 4:34:50Speaker 1: bent his anguished head in pain. Speak it is dear
- 4:34:54Speaker 1: soul of virtue. Thus the proud Preceptor cried, Thou in
- 4:34:58Speaker 1: truth hast never faltered, and the leaves have never lied.
- 4:35:02Speaker 1: Speak of valiant Asatoma Jonah's hope and pride and joy
- 4:35:06Speaker 1: had he fallen in this battle, easy slain, my gallant boy.
- 4:35:11Speaker 1: Feeble are the hands of Ronah and his prowess quenched
- 4:35:15Speaker 1: and gone fleecy or his ancient dresses, and his earthly
- 4:35:18Speaker 1: task is done? Said it is dere lordly taskar a
- 4:35:23Speaker 1: Satama named is dead. Jonah heard, but half the accents
- 4:35:28Speaker 1: feebly drooped his sinking head. Then the Prince of fair
- 4:35:32Speaker 1: Panchal swiftly drove across the plain, marked his father's cruel slayer,
- 4:35:37Speaker 1: marked his noble father, slaying Tristadimiya bound his weapon and
- 4:35:43Speaker 1: his shaft was pointed well, and the prist and proud
- 4:35:46Speaker 1: preceptor peerless Droonah lifeless fell, and the fatal day was
- 4:35:52Speaker 1: ended Korus fled in abject fear, urging for his ancient teacher,
- 4:35:56Speaker 1: dropped a silent filial tear, and of book nine, Book
- 4:36:04Speaker 1: ten Kernbud Fall of Kern. Kern was chosen as the
- 4:36:10Speaker 1: leader of the Kuru forces after the death of Drona
- 4:36:13Speaker 1: and held his own for two days. The great contest
- 4:36:17Speaker 1: between Kern and Urchum, long expected and long effort, came
- 4:36:20Speaker 1: on at last. It is the crowning incident of the
- 4:36:23Speaker 1: Indian Epic, as the contest between Hector and Nicholas is
- 4:36:27Speaker 1: the crowning incident of the Iliad. With a truer artistic
- 4:36:30Speaker 1: skill than that of Homer. The Indian poetry presents Kern
- 4:36:33Speaker 1: as equal to Urchin in strength and scale, and his
- 4:36:36Speaker 1: defeat is only due to an accident. After the death
- 4:36:40Speaker 1: of Kern, Celia led the Kuru troops on the eighteenth
- 4:36:43Speaker 1: and last day of the war and fell a midnight
- 4:36:47Speaker 1: slaughter in the Pandab camp, perpetrated by the bengeful son
- 4:36:50Speaker 1: of Drona, concludes the Oar Duryodhan, left to dead by Wema,
- 4:36:56Speaker 1: heard of the slaughter and died happy. Books eight, eight, nine,
- 4:37:00Speaker 1: and ten of the original have been appreached in this
- 4:37:03Speaker 1: book one Kern and djunmeat. Sights of red and ghastly
- 4:37:11Speaker 1: carnage they disclosed upon the plain. Mighty chiefs and countless
- 4:37:15Speaker 1: warriors round the warlike drona slade, said Dourudan, gazed in sorrow,
- 4:37:22Speaker 1: and the tear was in his eye till his glances
- 4:37:24Speaker 1: fell on Kern, and his warlike heart beat high. Kern,
- 4:37:29Speaker 1: so exclaimed Duriotan, he rove a registless smile. Tau alone
- 4:37:34Speaker 1: can serve the Kuru in this dread and dubious five.
- 4:37:38Speaker 1: Step forward, Kuru chief and leader mount a sounding battle
- 4:37:42Speaker 1: car lead the still unconquered Kurus to the trophies of
- 4:37:46Speaker 1: the war. Matchless was then sient Vishma in this famed
- 4:37:51Speaker 1: and warlike land, But a weakness, for it is here
- 4:37:54Speaker 1: palsied Wismau's laying hand. Matchless two was doughty Drona in
- 4:37:59Speaker 1: the warrior's kiel and art kindness for his Peopila June
- 4:38:03Speaker 1: locked within the teacher's heart, greater than the ancient grandsire,
- 4:38:08Speaker 1: greater than the Brahman, Old, fiercer in thy deathless hatred,
- 4:38:12Speaker 1: stronger in thy prowess, bold, peerless, cairn leaders onward to
- 4:38:18Speaker 1: a brighter, happier faith for thy armies, not to action
- 4:38:22Speaker 1: by an unforgotten hate. Leaders. As the marcials Gunda led,
- 4:38:27Speaker 1: the conquering gods of old smite the foe, as angry
- 4:38:30Speaker 1: Indra smote the danubs fierce and bold, as before the
- 4:38:35Speaker 1: light of morning flies the baleful gloom of night pondups
- 4:38:39Speaker 1: and the proud panchilds fly before they conquering mind Priests
- 4:38:45Speaker 1: with teams enchanted mantra and with every sacred rite, hailed
- 4:38:49Speaker 1: him leader of the curus, chieftain of unconquered mind artengers.
- 4:38:54Speaker 1: The placed around him with the sacred waterfool elephants, dusk
- 4:38:58Speaker 1: delayed beside him, and the horn of mighty bull jem
- 4:39:02Speaker 1: and jewel, corn and produce by the armed hero laid
- 4:39:06Speaker 1: silken cloth of finest lusture over his crest that had
- 4:39:09Speaker 1: the sprayed Brahmans poured the holy water board his lofty praises,
- 4:39:14Speaker 1: sun chetrias vacias Pya Sutras hailed him leader, bold and strong,
- 4:39:21Speaker 1: vanquished Warlexans of Pritha. Thus the holy Brahman's blessed golden garments,
- 4:39:27Speaker 1: food and cattle, joyous kern on them pressed Thus the
- 4:39:31Speaker 1: holy Rite concluded, conranged his man in Oar to the
- 4:39:35Speaker 1: dreaded front of battle, drove his swift and conquering car
- 4:39:40Speaker 1: Born to noon, and noon to evening, rached the battle
- 4:39:43Speaker 1: on the plain. Countless warriors fought and perished. Carborn chiefs
- 4:39:47Speaker 1: were pierced and slain. Halder Jun crested, Kern met at
- 4:39:52Speaker 1: last by will of faith. Life long was their mutual anger,
- 4:39:56Speaker 1: deathless was their mutual hate. And the our march shook
- 4:40:00Speaker 1: and trembled beneath the furious russh of war, and the
- 4:40:04Speaker 1: kingwalkin answered shouts that nation's heart from far, and the
- 4:40:09Speaker 1: thickening cloud of arrows filled the farmament on high. Darker, deeper,
- 4:40:14Speaker 1: dread and deadlier grew the angry face of sky till
- 4:40:18Speaker 1: the evening sable garment mantled over the battlefield, and the
- 4:40:22Speaker 1: angry rivals parted. Neither chief could win nor yield two
- 4:40:28Speaker 1: fall of corn. At the break of morning, Kern unto
- 4:40:34Speaker 1: Prince Studioth and went dozen slow and mejured accents to
- 4:40:37Speaker 1: his inner thoughts, gave vent morning dawn. So Koru's monarch,
- 4:40:42Speaker 1: Mighty Urgin, shall be slain or fulfilling warrior's duty karnandes
- 4:40:47Speaker 1: the gory plane long till life within ower bosoms ever
- 4:40:52Speaker 1: burnt d Mutual hate often met and often parted, rescued
- 4:40:57Speaker 1: by the wing of faith. But the un which Creamson
- 4:41:01Speaker 1: Lusser seizes met to part no more gallant Algine's course
- 4:41:05Speaker 1: this evening, our proud currents shall be over. Room is
- 4:41:10Speaker 1: none for Urgent's glory and for archer Current's fame. One
- 4:41:14Speaker 1: must sink, and one must sparkle with a brighter, richer
- 4:41:17Speaker 1: flame list yet more. In wealth of arrows and in
- 4:41:22Speaker 1: wondrous strength of beaux, Argent scarcely may surpass it, scarcely
- 4:41:27Speaker 1: excel my foe. In the light scale of the archer,
- 4:41:31Speaker 1: and in sight and truth of aim, Argent beats not
- 4:41:34Speaker 1: scarcely rivals Currn's proud and peerless fame. If his wondrous
- 4:41:40Speaker 1: Bogandib is the gift of God's in heaven, Karn' spot
- 4:41:44Speaker 1: of famed prige is by Persudham given Ay, the son
- 4:41:49Speaker 1: of Jamadaghni, Kings of Art, who proudly slaid on the
- 4:41:53Speaker 1: youthful arms of Kern, his destructive weapon laid Yet I
- 4:41:58Speaker 1: own o king of Kuru. Urgent doth his foe excel
- 4:42:03Speaker 1: matchless are his fiery coursers peerless. Krishna leads them well.
- 4:42:08Speaker 1: Krishna holds the reins for jun Christna speeds his battle car,
- 4:42:13Speaker 1: drives the lightning winged coursers over the startled field of war,
- 4:42:18Speaker 1: sweeps in pride his sounding chariot till it almost seems
- 4:42:22Speaker 1: to fly. Urgin louds it over the battle like the
- 4:42:25Speaker 1: comet in the sky. Grant me monarch, mighty Zelie, drive
- 4:42:30Speaker 1: my swift and warlick steed and against a carbon urchin.
- 4:42:34Speaker 1: Kern's fiery chariot leave Seleetiu is killed like Krishna with
- 4:42:40Speaker 1: the steed and battle car equal dos I meet my
- 4:42:43Speaker 1: foeman in this last unfatal war spake Buruden warleach Celia
- 4:42:50Speaker 1: mounted Kern's sounding car. Khn sought for m Turchin in
- 4:42:54Speaker 1: the serrid ranks of war hundred milch kind Karn offers
- 4:43:00Speaker 1: costly garments, yellow gold unto him who in this battle
- 4:43:04Speaker 1: points to me my forem in bold cars and steets
- 4:43:08Speaker 1: and watleechers, peaceful hamlets, rich and fair, dark eyed damsels,
- 4:43:13Speaker 1: lotus bosomed, crowned, glossy raven hair. These are his who
- 4:43:19Speaker 1: points to kern Urchin, hiding from this war, Argin Snowy's
- 4:43:23Speaker 1: teats and banner and his swift and thundering car. Kernes
- 4:43:28Speaker 1: spake but long and loudly loved the king of Madra's land.
- 4:43:33Speaker 1: As he reined the fiery coursers with his strong and
- 4:43:35Speaker 1: skillful hand of rewards and gifts. He attered little need
- 4:43:41Speaker 1: is dare I win? Argin is not wont to tarry
- 4:43:44Speaker 1: from the battle's glorious scene. Soon will Urgin Snowy coursers
- 4:43:49Speaker 1: shake the battle startled field haln durchun like a comet
- 4:43:53Speaker 1: gleam ath bow and sword and shield. As the forest
- 4:43:57Speaker 1: ranging tiger springs upon his faded, as the haunted bull
- 4:44:02Speaker 1: Infuriat dodts the weakling cattle sleigh, as the fears and
- 4:44:06Speaker 1: lordly lion smites the timid jungle. Dear urgent, soon shall
- 4:44:11Speaker 1: spring upon tee, for he knows, nor read nor fear.
- 4:44:16Speaker 1: Save thee. Then, O mighty archer, while I drive my
- 4:44:19Speaker 1: sounding car. Panda's son had met no echo in the
- 4:44:23Speaker 1: valiant art of war. Darkly frowned, the angry curn Celiah
- 4:44:28Speaker 1: held the loosened rain, dashing through the hostile forces Then
- 4:44:33Speaker 1: the warrior sped a man through the serried ranks of battle.
- 4:44:37Speaker 1: Kern drove in furious mood, facing him in royal spander,
- 4:44:41Speaker 1: gilded stir, fearless toot, Surging ranks of bravenishads closed between
- 4:44:48Speaker 1: and fought in vain proud panchad stout and faithful, vainly
- 4:44:52Speaker 1: strove among the sleigh. Onward came the fiery curn, like
- 4:44:57Speaker 1: the ocean's heaving swell, with the sweeping rathap tempest on
- 4:45:01Speaker 1: the good it. His tear fell wrathful. Then the son
- 4:45:05Speaker 1: of Pandu marked his noble chief dain instead, and in
- 4:45:08Speaker 1: words of scornful anger. Thus do archer Kurrn said, hast,
- 4:45:13Speaker 1: Thou Kern vowed the slaughter of my younger, urging brave
- 4:45:18Speaker 1: wilt Thou do Duridan's mandate, proud Duriitan, swilling slave. Unfulfilled,
- 4:45:24Speaker 1: thy vow remained for the righteous gods all dame by
- 4:45:28Speaker 1: it his dear's hand. Thou fallest go and slumber with
- 4:45:31Speaker 1: the slain fiercely drew his boetiestre. Fiercely was the arrow
- 4:45:37Speaker 1: driven rockically for solid mountain. Might the shaft have pierced
- 4:45:41Speaker 1: and riven lightning like it came on Kern struck and
- 4:45:45Speaker 1: pierced him on the left, and the warrior fell and fainted,
- 4:45:49Speaker 1: as of life and sense bereft. Soon he rose, the
- 4:45:54Speaker 1: cloud of anger darkened over his livid face, and he
- 4:45:57Speaker 1: drew his godlike weapon with a moldern human grace, arrow
- 4:46:02Speaker 1: skin and dark as midnight, claiming in their lightning flight,
- 4:46:06Speaker 1: struck it his disroyal armor with a fierce, resistless might, clanking,
- 4:46:11Speaker 1: fell a shattered armor from his parson, fair and pale
- 4:46:15Speaker 1: as from sans merinum splendor, clouds adrifted by the gale,
- 4:46:20Speaker 1: armorless but bright and radiant, brave it his tear vegeta
- 4:46:24Speaker 1: fight bright a sky with starsby spangled on a clear
- 4:46:28Speaker 1: and cloudless night, and he threw his pointed lances like
- 4:46:32Speaker 1: the summer's bursting flood. Once again it his deer's weapons, drank,
- 4:46:36Speaker 1: his fiery foeman's blood fell with anguish, wrathful curn fiercely
- 4:46:42Speaker 1: turned the tide of war cut it his TIR's royal standard,
- 4:46:46Speaker 1: crashed his sumptuous battle car, and heorsed his gallant coursers
- 4:46:51Speaker 1: til his chariot bounding flew and much more than godlike
- 4:46:54Speaker 1: proyise than his famed Beja drew fainted, his dear sorely bleed,
- 4:47:00Speaker 1: waged no more to fatal fight. Carless, steedless, void of armor,
- 4:47:05Speaker 1: sought his safety in his flight speed doubt himid man
- 4:47:09Speaker 1: of pennance, proud insulting Karan said, famed for virtue, not
- 4:47:14Speaker 1: for valor, blood of dye, I will not shed speed
- 4:47:17Speaker 1: at Gant. I wanted mantra to the rights that says
- 4:47:20Speaker 1: es no, but the hound warriored urchin calm and meet
- 4:47:24Speaker 1: his warlike foe to his tent retired histir in his
- 4:47:29Speaker 1: rat and in his shame, spake to Urgin, who from
- 4:47:33Speaker 1: brattle to his angry elder, came as thou yet tardy
- 4:47:38Speaker 1: Urchin baths insulting Karn slain Carn, dealing their destruction on
- 4:47:42Speaker 1: these battles, red and plain, like his teacher, Persudam dies
- 4:47:47Speaker 1: in purple blood his course like a snake of deathful poison.
- 4:47:51Speaker 1: Karn guards the crew force. Kern smote my chariot driver
- 4:47:56Speaker 1: and my standard rant into ain, shattered Karan lifely horses
- 4:48:00Speaker 1: strewd a red ginglorious plain scars with life, in speechless anguish,
- 4:48:06Speaker 1: from the battlefield, I fled scorn of foes and shame
- 4:48:09Speaker 1: of kinsmen, warrior's fame and honor dead them long ears
- 4:48:15Speaker 1: and tree yid his tear, joy nor peace nor rest
- 4:48:18Speaker 1: had seen. And while Kern leaves and glories all our
- 4:48:22Speaker 1: insults steel are green, has doulgeun slain the chieftain, as
- 4:48:28Speaker 1: in swelling pride, he stood hast wiped our wrongs and
- 4:48:31Speaker 1: insults in that cheriot driver's blood at the distance, Krishnan answered,
- 4:48:38Speaker 1: fiery Urgin fought his way. Now he meets the archer
- 4:48:41Speaker 1: Kern and evows his death today angrily to his tears forehead,
- 4:48:47Speaker 1: and the tremor shook his frame as he speake to
- 4:48:50Speaker 1: silent urchin words of insult and of shame. Wherefore, like
- 4:48:55Speaker 1: a painted warrior, dot the helm virgeon stand. Wherefore useless
- 4:49:00Speaker 1: lies gandhib in his weak and nerveless hand. Wherefore hangs
- 4:49:05Speaker 1: the a mighty saber from his belt of silk and gold.
- 4:49:09Speaker 1: Wherefore dots a peerless Krishna drive his courser's fleet and
- 4:49:13Speaker 1: bold if afar from Warsarena. Timid urgent seeks to hide
- 4:49:18Speaker 1: if he shuns the mighty carn battling in unconquered pride, urgin,

- 4:49:41Speaker 1: rules the field sparkled Urgent's eye in anger with a
- 4:49:47Speaker 1: red and livid flame, and the tempest of his passion
- 4:49:50Speaker 1: shook his more than mortal frame. Heedless on the sword hilt,

- 5:12:12Speaker 1: prowling in the light of day, shriek of pain and
- 5:12:16Speaker 1: wail of anguish over the ghostly fieldery sound and their
- 5:12:20Speaker 1: feeble footsteps falter and the sink upon the ground. Sense
- 5:12:25Speaker 1: and life desert the mourners as the faint in common grief.
- 5:12:30Speaker 1: Death like swan, succeeding sorrow yields a moment's short relief.
- 5:12:35Speaker 1: Then a mighty sigh of anguish from Gundary's bosom broke,
- 5:12:39Speaker 1: gazing on her anguished daughters. Unto Krishna. Thus she spoke
- 5:12:45Speaker 1: Markman counseled daughters with the youth queens of Koru's house,
- 5:12:50Speaker 1: wailing for dear, dear departed, like the osprey, for her
- 5:12:53Speaker 1: spous How which cold and fading feature wakes in jem
- 5:12:58Speaker 1: a woman's love. How amidst the lifeless warriors, steely drestless tapes,
- 5:13:03Speaker 1: they row. Mothers hugged their slaughtered children, all unconscious in
- 5:13:08Speaker 1: their sleep, with those bands upon their husbands, and in
- 5:13:12Speaker 1: ceaseless sorrow weep mighty Vishma hath he fallen, Quen's disarcher,
- 5:13:18Speaker 1: Curt's pride drupid Monarcho Pancha sleeps by foremen Rona's sigh.
- 5:13:25Speaker 1: Shining mail and costly jewels, royal bangles drew the plane.
- 5:13:30Speaker 1: Golden garlands, rich and varnished, tagged the chief's untimely sleigh
- 5:13:35Speaker 1: lences hurled by stalwart fighters, clubs of mighty wrestlers, keel
- 5:13:40Speaker 1: swords and bows of ample measer quiver steel with arrows
- 5:13:44Speaker 1: field marked on forgotten heroes. Jungle prowlers made them stray
- 5:13:51Speaker 1: on their brow and mailed bosoms, heedless perch. The birds
- 5:13:54Speaker 1: of prey mark the great unconquered heroes famed on our
- 5:14:00Speaker 1: from west to east. Conquers perch upon their foreheads, hung
- 5:14:04Speaker 1: revolves upon them. Feast mark the kings on soft excushion scars.
- 5:14:10Speaker 1: They need address they found now, the lying peaceful slumber
- 5:14:14Speaker 1: on the hard and reddened ground, marked the youths whom
- 5:14:18Speaker 1: morn and evening listed to the minstrel's song. In the rear,
- 5:14:22Speaker 1: the lonesome jackal doth his doleful wailed prolonged. See the
- 5:14:27Speaker 1: chieftains with their maces and their swords of trusty steel steel.
- 5:14:31Speaker 1: They grasped their tried weapons to the steel. The life
- 5:14:35Speaker 1: fells feel three Gandhari's lament for Duryodhan. Thus to Krishna,
- 5:14:46Speaker 1: Queen Gandhari strove her woeful thoughts to tell when alas
- 5:14:50Speaker 1: her wandering vision on her son Duryodhan fell sudden anguish
- 5:14:55Speaker 1: smote her bosom, and her senses seemed to stray like
- 5:14:59Speaker 1: a tree by tempest. Shaken senseless on the earth, she
- 5:15:02Speaker 1: lay once again. She waked in no sorrow once again,
- 5:15:07Speaker 1: she cast her eye where her son, in blood and purple,
- 5:15:10Speaker 1: slept beneath the top and sky, and she clapped her
- 5:15:14Speaker 1: dear Duryudin, hurled him close on to her breast. Sobs
- 5:15:18Speaker 1: convulsive shook her bosom as the lifeless forms he pressed,
- 5:15:23Speaker 1: and her tears like rains of summer, fell and washed.
- 5:15:26Speaker 1: His noble head jagged with kurland, still untarnished, grazed at
- 5:15:31Speaker 1: Nishka's bright and wath mad, said my dear Duryadin, when
- 5:15:37Speaker 1: he went on too the war, wish me joy and
- 5:15:39Speaker 1: wish me triumph. As I mounted battle car son, I
- 5:15:44Speaker 1: said to dear Duryudin, heaven ever to cruel faith, yetudhr
- 5:15:49Speaker 1: masta doujaya triumph dot on virtue. Wait. But he set
- 5:15:53Speaker 1: his heart on battle by his velor wiped his seams.
- 5:15:57Speaker 1: Now he dwelt in realm cele steel, which the faithful
- 5:15:59Speaker 1: warrior wings. And I weep not for Turyodo like a prince,
- 5:16:04Speaker 1: he fought and fell. But my sorrow stricken husband, who
- 5:16:08Speaker 1: can his misfortunes? Tell aye? My son was brave and princely,
- 5:16:13Speaker 1: all resistless in the war. Now he sleeps the sleep
- 5:16:16Speaker 1: of warriors, sunk in gloom. His glorious star I, my
- 5:16:22Speaker 1: son mid ground monarchs held the first and foremost way.
- 5:16:25Speaker 1: Now he rests upon the red art, quenched his bright,
- 5:16:28Speaker 1: affulgent ray Aye, my son, the best of heroes, he
- 5:16:33Speaker 1: had won the warrior's sky, Shatrya's nobly conquered Krishna. When
- 5:16:38Speaker 1: in war the nobly die, hark the loathesome cry of jackals,
- 5:16:43Speaker 1: How the wolves their vigils keep maidens riching song and beauty.
- 5:16:47Speaker 1: First to watch his sleep hark the fallen, bloodbeaked vultures
- 5:16:52Speaker 1: flapped their wings upon the death. Maidens swept their feedery
- 5:16:56Speaker 1: ponkahs round Turiatan's royal bed. Peerless bowmen, mighty mowner nations
- 5:17:02Speaker 1: steel his hasts o bathe as a lion slays a tiger,
- 5:17:07Speaker 1: Vima had Turatan slay thirteen years over Kuru's empire. Proud

- 5:21:08Speaker 1: a hundred other monarchs all received a pious ride till
- 5:21:11Speaker 1: the radiance of the fire light chased the shadows of
- 5:21:14Speaker 1: the night. Pittrimida, due to fathers, was performed with pious care.
- 5:21:20Speaker 1: Heamns and wails and lamentations mingled in the midnight air.
- 5:21:25Speaker 1: Sacred songs of Greek and Summon rose with women's piercing wail,
- 5:21:30Speaker 1: and the creatures of the wide eared herd. The sound
- 5:21:32Speaker 1: subdued and pale, smokeless, and its radiant luster shone, its
- 5:21:37Speaker 1: red and lighted pyre, like the planets of the bright sky,
- 5:21:41Speaker 1: dropping with celestial fire. Countless myriads, nameless, friendless from each
- 5:21:47Speaker 1: court and camp afar from the east and west collected
- 5:21:51Speaker 1: fell in Kurukshetra's war. Thousand fires for them were lighted.
- 5:21:56Speaker 1: They received a pious ride. Such was good districe mandate,
- 5:22:00Speaker 1: Such was Wisebideur's smile. All the dead were burned to ashes,
- 5:22:04Speaker 1: and the sacred ride was over. Tritarashtra and his tear
- 5:22:08Speaker 1: slowly walked to Gangha's shore five oblation to Kern Sacred Gangha.
- 5:22:18Speaker 1: Ample bosomed sweeps along in regal pride, rolling down her
- 5:22:23Speaker 1: limpid waters through high banks. On either side, kuru daimes
- 5:22:27Speaker 1: and weeping widows teeter in their anguish came theven holy
- 5:22:32Speaker 1: rights to render to departed chiefs of fame, casting fort
- 5:22:36Speaker 1: their jeweled girdles, gems and scarves belaced with gold, gave
- 5:22:41Speaker 1: oblations of the water, to which hero true and bold,
- 5:22:45Speaker 1: unto fathers, unto husbands and too sons in battle slave
- 5:22:49Speaker 1: offerings of the sacred water, soaring wives and mother's maid
- 5:22:54Speaker 1: and so great the host of mourners went in to
- 5:22:56Speaker 1: perform their ride, that their footsteps made a pathway in
- 5:23:00Speaker 1: the sadden sacred side, and the shelving banks of Gangha,
- 5:23:04Speaker 1: peopled by the soaring train, wide, expanding, vast and sea like,
- 5:23:09Speaker 1: form a scene of woe and pain. But a wave
- 5:23:13Speaker 1: of keener sorrow swept over Pritha's heaving breast. As unto her,
- 5:23:17Speaker 1: whooping children does her secrets, She expressed, He my sons,
- 5:23:24Speaker 1: the peerless bowman mighty in his battle car, he who
- 5:23:27Speaker 1: bore a stamp of hero slain by Urgin in the war,
- 5:23:32Speaker 1: He whom, as the son of Radha chariot driver, ye
- 5:23:35Speaker 1: have taught, he who shown itch Suria's Lusser as his
- 5:23:39Speaker 1: countless foes he fought, He who faced your stoutest warriors,
- 5:23:43Speaker 1: and in battle never failed, He who led the crew forces,
- 5:23:47Speaker 1: and in danger never quailed. He who knew no peer
- 5:23:51Speaker 1: in proys, owned in ward no haftier name, He who
- 5:23:55Speaker 1: wielded life not honor, and by death had conquered fame.
- 5:24:00Speaker 1: He in truth, who never faltered, never left his vow
- 5:24:04Speaker 1: undone offer unto him oblation. Karn was my eldest son.
- 5:24:10Speaker 1: Karn was your honored elder. And the sun inspired his
- 5:24:13Speaker 1: Birdkern in his rings and armor, sun like drought, the
- 5:24:17Speaker 1: spacious art preta spake, and terror stricken punder brothers groaned
- 5:24:22Speaker 1: in pain, and they wept in war and anguish for
- 5:24:26Speaker 1: the brother they had slain. He sing forth his sigh
- 5:24:29Speaker 1: of sorrow, like a trodden hissing snake, said it is
- 5:24:33Speaker 1: dear to his mother. Thus his inward feeling spake. Didst
- 5:24:37Speaker 1: thou mother bear the hero fathomless like ocean dread, whose
- 5:24:41Speaker 1: unfailing listening arrows like its countless below spead. Didst thou
- 5:24:46Speaker 1: bear that pure des archer, all resistless, in his car,
- 5:24:50Speaker 1: sweeping with a roar of ocean, through the shattered ranks
- 5:24:53Speaker 1: of war? Didst thou bear the mighty hero, mortal man
- 5:24:57Speaker 1: of avonlea bird crushing b and it is arm of
- 5:25:00Speaker 1: valor all his foemen on the earth. Didst thou hide
- 5:25:05Speaker 1: the Barton lineage of the chief of that full liar,
- 5:25:08Speaker 1: as a man in folds of garments seeks to hide
- 5:25:11Speaker 1: the flaming fire urgent whilder of Gandhi was for us.
- 5:25:16Speaker 1: No truer stay den was Karan for the Curus In
- 5:25:19Speaker 1: the battle's drd array, Monarch's match, not Khan's glory, nor
- 5:25:24Speaker 1: his deeds of valor done midst the mighty carbon warriors,
- 5:25:28Speaker 1: mightiest warrior. Khan Shorn was heaten, our eldest brother we
- 5:25:33Speaker 1: have in the battle slave and our nearest, dearest elder
- 5:25:37Speaker 1: fell upon the gory play. Not the death of a
- 5:25:41Speaker 1: revenue from the affairs who hadra toorn, Not the slaughter
- 5:25:45Speaker 1: of the princess by the proud drop of the born,
- 5:25:49Speaker 1: Not the fall of Kuru warriors, nor Panchaal's mighty host
- 5:25:53Speaker 1: like die that afflicts my bosom, noble Kern loved and lost,
- 5:25:59Speaker 1: Monarch's empire, Victor's glory. All the treasure's art can yield righteous,
- 5:26:04Speaker 1: bless and heavenly gladness. Harvest of the swark's field. All
- 5:26:09Speaker 1: that wish can shape and utter all that nourish, can,
- 5:26:12Speaker 1: hope and pride, all were ours, So noble Karna, with
- 5:26:16Speaker 1: thee by thy brother's side, and this carnage of the curuse,
- 5:26:21Speaker 1: these sad eyes had never seen. Peace had graced our
- 5:26:24Speaker 1: blessed empire. Happy the art have been long bewailed. The
- 5:26:30Speaker 1: sad histere for his elder, loved and dead, and the
- 5:26:33Speaker 1: oblation of the water to the noble carn maid and
- 5:26:37Speaker 1: the royal names of Kuru viewed the sighted, freshening pain
- 5:26:41Speaker 1: wept to see the gooded his here offering to his
- 5:26:44Speaker 1: brother's slain. And the widowed Queen of Karn, with the
- 5:26:48Speaker 1: women of his house, gave oblations to her hero wept
- 5:26:52Speaker 1: her loved and slaughtered. Spous turned their rights to the departed,
- 5:26:57Speaker 1: done oblations to the dead. Slowly, then the sets survivors
- 5:27:00Speaker 1: of the reverse Margins spread far along the shore and
- 5:27:04Speaker 1: sand bank of the sacred Sea, extreme made in matron,
- 5:27:08Speaker 1: laved their bodies beneath the morning's holy beam, and ablutions
- 5:27:13Speaker 1: done the chorus. Slow and sad and cheerless, pot went
- 5:27:17Speaker 1: their way to forest dinner with a wide and vacant heart.
- 5:27:24Speaker 1: And of Book eleven, Book twelve a Swimmide, sacrifice of
- 5:27:30Speaker 1: the horse, the real epic, answered the ore, and the
- 5:27:35Speaker 1: funerals of the deceased warriors. Much of what follows in
- 5:27:39Speaker 1: the original Sanskrit poem is either episodical or comparatively recent interpolation.
- 5:27:44Speaker 1: The great and venerable warrior Vishma, still lying on his deathbed,
- 5:27:48Speaker 1: discourses for the instruction of the newly crowned stir on
- 5:27:52Speaker 1: various subjects like the duties of kings, the duties of
- 5:27:55Speaker 1: the forecasts, and the four stages of life. He repeats
- 5:27:59Speaker 1: the discourses of other saints of Rigu and Vartwaj of
- 5:28:03Speaker 1: Manu and Rehspathy of Bias and Suk of Yegebalka, and
- 5:28:08Speaker 1: Janak of Nadad and Narayan. He explained Sanka philosophy and
- 5:28:13Speaker 1: Yoga philosophy, and lays down the laws of marriage, the
- 5:28:16Speaker 1: laws of succession, the rules of gifts, and the rules
- 5:28:19Speaker 1: of funeral rites. He preaches the cult of Krishna and
- 5:28:24Speaker 1: narrates endless legions, tales, traditions and meats about sieges and saints,
- 5:28:29Speaker 1: gods and mortal kings. All this is told in two
- 5:28:32Speaker 1: books containing about twenty two thousand couplets and forming nearly
- 5:28:37Speaker 1: one fourth of the entire Sanskrit epic. The reason of
- 5:28:41Speaker 1: adding all this episodical and comparatively recent matter to the
- 5:28:44Speaker 1: ancient epic is not far to seek. The epic became
- 5:28:49Speaker 1: more popular with the nation at large than dry codes
- 5:28:52Speaker 1: of law and philosophy, and generations of brahmanical writers labored
- 5:28:56Speaker 1: therefore to insert in the epic itself their rules of
- 5:29:00Speaker 1: cast and moral conduct, their laws and philosophy. There is
- 5:29:04Speaker 1: no more venerable character in the epic than Vishma, and
- 5:29:07Speaker 1: these rules and laws have therefore been supposed to come
- 5:29:10Speaker 1: from his lips on the solemn occasion of his death,
- 5:29:14Speaker 1: as a storehouse of ideal laws and traditions and moral rules.
- 5:29:18Speaker 1: These episodes are invaluable, but they form no part of
- 5:29:21Speaker 1: the real epic. They are not a portion of the
- 5:29:24Speaker 1: leading story of diapeic. And he pass them by. Vishma
- 5:29:28Speaker 1: dies and discrimated. But the endless exposition of laws, listens
- 5:29:33Speaker 1: and moral rules is not yet over. Krishna himself takes
- 5:29:37Speaker 1: up the task in a new book, and as he
- 5:29:39Speaker 1: has done once before in the Vagavad Gita, he now
- 5:29:42Speaker 1: once more explains to Urchin in the Anugita, the great
- 5:29:45Speaker 1: Truths about soul and emancipation, creation and the will of life,
- 5:29:50Speaker 1: true knowledge and rights, and Panits, the adventures of the
- 5:29:54Speaker 1: Sea Zutanka, whom Krishna meets, then take up a good
- 5:29:58Speaker 1: many pages. All this forms no part of the real epic,
- 5:30:02Speaker 1: and we pass it by. It is there has in
- 5:30:06Speaker 1: the meantime been crowned King of the Kurus at Hastinapur,
- 5:30:10Speaker 1: and the posthumous child of a vi Menu is named
- 5:30:12Speaker 1: Parikshit and is destined to succeed to the throne of
- 5:30:15Speaker 1: the Curus. But Dister's mind is still troubled with the
- 5:30:19Speaker 1: thoughts of the carnage of the war, of which he
- 5:30:21Speaker 1: considers himself guilty, and a great saint. Viaz advises the
- 5:30:25Speaker 1: performance of the assumine, or the sacrifice of the horse,
- 5:30:29Speaker 1: for the expiration of the scene. The sacrifice of the
- 5:30:34Speaker 1: horse was an encient Hinto custom practiced by kings exercising
- 5:30:38Speaker 1: sucerine powers over surrounding kings. A horse was let free
- 5:30:43Speaker 1: and was allowed to wander from place to place, accompanied
- 5:30:46Speaker 1: by the king's guard. If any neighboring king ventured to
- 5:30:50Speaker 1: detain the animal, it was a signal for war. If
- 5:30:54Speaker 1: no king ventured to restrain the venderer, it was considered
- 5:30:57Speaker 1: a tacit mark of submission to the owner of the animal.
- 5:31:01Speaker 1: And when the horse returned from its peregrinations, it was
- 5:31:04Speaker 1: sacrificed to the great pomp and splendor at a feast
- 5:31:07Speaker 1: to which all neighboring kings were invited. Jister allowed the
- 5:31:13Speaker 1: sacrificeal horse to ender at will, and Urchin accompanied it.
- 5:31:17Speaker 1: Wherever the horse was stopped. Urgin fought and conquered, and
- 5:31:21Speaker 1: thus proclaimed the supremacy of Wittistir over all neighboring potentates.
- 5:31:26Speaker 1: After various wars and adventures in various regions, Urgin at
- 5:31:30Speaker 1: last returned victorious with the steed to Hastinapur, and the
- 5:31:33Speaker 1: sacrifice commenced. The description of the sacrifices somewhat artificial and
- 5:31:39Speaker 1: concerns itself, which writes in ceremonious details and gifts to brahmins,
- 5:31:44Speaker 1: and altogether bears unmistakable evidence of the interpolting hand of
- 5:31:48Speaker 1: later priestly writers. Nevertheless, we cannot exclude from this translation
- 5:31:54Speaker 1: of the leading incidents of the epic the last great
- 5:31:57Speaker 1: and crowning act of wittstir Now anointed monark Kuru Land.
- 5:32:02Speaker 1: The portion translated in this book forms sections eighty five
- 5:32:06Speaker 1: and parts of sections eighty seven and eighty nine of
- 5:32:09Speaker 1: Book fourteen. Of the original text, one the gathering victor
- 5:32:18Speaker 1: of one hundred battles Urgin Bantha's homeward way, falling steel,
- 5:32:22Speaker 1: the sacred Georgier free to wander as it may, strolling
- 5:32:27Speaker 1: minstrels to it Isteur, spake of their returning Steeth spake
- 5:32:31Speaker 1: of virgin wnding homeward with the Victor's crown of mead
- 5:32:35Speaker 1: and the sang of Vagin's triumphs in Ganthhar's distant vale
- 5:32:39Speaker 1: on the banks of Brahmaputra, and in Sindhu's rocky dale.
- 5:32:44Speaker 1: Twelfth day came of Mark's bright moon, and auspicious was
- 5:32:47Speaker 1: the star Neiher came the victor region from his Conquestsneer
- 5:32:52Speaker 1: and far Gudistyr called his brothers faithful twins, and Vima
- 5:32:57Speaker 1: true spake to them in gentleland accents, and his words
- 5:33:01Speaker 1: were grave and field. Wema. Now returneth Huchem with di

- 5:55:05Speaker 1: the first of these two epics, the Iliado of ancient India,
- 5:55:09Speaker 1: which is the subject of tile foregoing pages. The Great War,
- 5:55:14Speaker 1: which is the subject of this epic, is believed to
- 5:55:16Speaker 1: have been fought in the thirteenth or fourteenth century before Christ.
- 5:55:21Speaker 1: For generations and centuries after the war, its main incidents
- 5:55:24Speaker 1: must have been sung by birds and minstrels in the
- 5:55:27Speaker 1: courts of northern India. The war thus became the center
- 5:55:30Speaker 1: of a cycle of lizens, songs and poems in ancient India,
- 5:55:34Speaker 1: even as Charle Magne and Arthur became the center of
- 5:55:37Speaker 1: lizens in medievali rope, and then, probably under the direction
- 5:55:41Speaker 1: of some enlightened king, the vast mass of lizens and
- 5:55:44Speaker 1: poetry accumulated during centuries was cast in a narrative form
- 5:55:48Speaker 1: and formed the epic of the great Farhat nation, and
- 5:55:51Speaker 1: therefore called the Mahafadad. The real facts of the war
- 5:55:55Speaker 1: had been obliterated by age, legendary heroes had become the
- 5:55:59Speaker 1: principal actors, and, as is invariably the case in India,
- 5:56:03Speaker 1: the tread of a high moral purpose, of the triumph
- 5:56:06Speaker 1: of virtue and the subjugation of vice was woven into
- 5:56:09Speaker 1: the fabric of the great Epic. OI should have been
- 5:56:12Speaker 1: thankful if this epic, as it was thus originally put
- 5:56:15Speaker 1: together some centuries before the Christian era, had been preserved
- 5:56:19Speaker 1: to us. But this was not to be. The epic
- 5:56:23Speaker 1: became so popular that it went on growing. With the
- 5:56:25Speaker 1: growth of centuries. Every generation of poets had something to add.
- 5:56:30Speaker 1: Every distant nation in northern India was anxious to interpolate
- 5:56:33Speaker 1: some account of its deeds in the old record of
- 5:56:36Speaker 1: the international war. Every preacher of a new creed desired
- 5:56:40Speaker 1: to have in the old epic some sanction for the
- 5:56:42Speaker 1: new truths. He inculcated passages from legal and moral codes
- 5:56:46Speaker 1: were incorporated in the work, which apple to the nation
- 5:56:49Speaker 1: much more effectively than dry coats. And rules about the
- 5:56:53Speaker 1: different castes and about the different stages of human life
- 5:56:56Speaker 1: were included. For the same purpose. All the floating mass
- 5:57:00Speaker 1: of tales, traditions, listens and means for which ancient India
- 5:57:03Speaker 1: was famous found a shelter under the expanding wings of
- 5:57:06Speaker 1: this wonderful epic, and as Krishna worship became the prevailing
- 5:57:10Speaker 1: religion of India after the decay of Buddhism, the old
- 5:57:13Speaker 1: epic called the Complexion of the Times, and Krishna cult
- 5:57:17Speaker 1: is its dominating religious idea in its present shape. It
- 5:57:20Speaker 1: is thus that the work went on growing for a
- 5:57:23Speaker 1: thousand years after it was forced, compiled, and put together
- 5:57:26Speaker 1: in the form of an epic, until the crystal reel
- 5:57:29Speaker 1: of the epic itself was all but lost in an
- 5:57:32Speaker 1: unending morras of religious an deductic episodes, lizens, tales, and traditions.
- 5:57:38Speaker 1: When the michief had been done and the epic had
- 5:57:40Speaker 1: nearly assumed its present proportions, a few centuries after Christ,
- 5:57:44Speaker 1: according to the late doctor Boehler, an atompt was made
- 5:57:47Speaker 1: to prevent a further expansion of the work. The contents
- 5:57:50Speaker 1: of the epic were described in some prefetory verses, and
- 5:57:53Speaker 1: the number of couplets in each book was stated. The
- 5:57:57Speaker 1: total number of couplets according to this metrical preface is
- 5:58:00Speaker 1: about eighty five thousand. But the limit so fixed has
- 5:58:04Speaker 1: been exceeded in still later centuries, for the redditions and
- 5:58:08Speaker 1: interpolations have been made, and the Epic, as printed and
- 5:58:11Speaker 1: published in Calcutta in this century, contents over ninety thousand couplets,
- 5:58:15Speaker 1: excluding the supplement about the race of Harry. The modern
- 5:58:20Speaker 1: reader will now understand the reason why this greet epic,
- 5:58:23Speaker 1: the greatest work of imagination that Asia had produced, has
- 5:58:27Speaker 1: never yet been put before the European reader in a
- 5:58:29Speaker 1: readable form. A poem of ninety thousand couplets, about seven
- 5:58:34Speaker 1: times the site of the Iliad and Odyssiput together is
- 5:58:37Speaker 1: more than what the average reader can stand, and the
- 5:58:40Speaker 1: heterogeneous nature of its contents does not add to the
- 5:58:42Speaker 1: interest of the work. If the religious works of Hooker
- 5:58:46Speaker 1: and Jeremy Taylor, the philosophy of Hobbes and Lockey, the
- 5:58:50Speaker 1: commentaries of Blackstone, and the ballads of Percy, together with
- 5:58:54Speaker 1: the tractarian writings of Newman, Cabell and Pussy, who are
- 5:58:57Speaker 1: all thrown into blank verse and incorporation. Yet with the
- 5:59:00Speaker 1: paradise lost, the reader would scarcely be much to blame
- 5:59:04Speaker 1: if he failed to appreciate that delectable compound. A complete
- 5:59:08Speaker 1: translation of the Mahafara, therefore into English verse, is neither
- 5:59:12Speaker 1: possible nor desirable, but portions of it have now and
- 5:59:15Speaker 1: then been placed before English readers by distinguished writers. Dan
- 5:59:20Speaker 1: Milmann's graceful rendering of the story of Null and Amanity
- 5:59:23Speaker 1: is still read and appreciated by a silict circle of breeders,
- 5:59:26Speaker 1: and Sir Adiurnald's beautiful translation of the concluding books of
- 5:59:30Speaker 1: the epic is familiar to a large circle of Englishmen.
- 5:59:34Speaker 1: A complete translation of the epic into English prose has
- 5:59:37Speaker 1: also been published in India and is useful to Sanskrit
- 5:59:40Speaker 1: scholars for the purpose of reference. But although the old
- 5:59:44Speaker 1: Epic thus has been spoiled by unlimited expansion, yet nevertheless
- 5:59:48Speaker 1: the leading incidents and characters of the real epic are
- 5:59:51Speaker 1: still discernible, uninjured by the mass of foreign substance in
- 5:59:55Speaker 1: which they are embedded, even like those immortal marble figures
- 5:59:59Speaker 1: which have been recover from the ruins of an ancient
- 6:00:01Speaker 1: world and now beautify the museums of modern Europe. For
- 6:00:06Speaker 1: years past, I have thought that it was perhaps not
- 6:00:08Speaker 1: impossible to exhume this varied epic from the superincumbent mass
- 6:00:12Speaker 1: of episodical matter, and to restore it to the modern world.
- 6:00:16Speaker 1: For years past I have felt a longing to undertake
- 6:00:19Speaker 1: this work, but the task was by no means an
- 6:00:22Speaker 1: easy one. Leaving out all episodical matter, the lidinarrative of
- 6:00:26Speaker 1: the epic forms about one fourth of the work, and
- 6:00:29Speaker 1: the complete translation even of this leading story would be unreadable,
- 6:00:32Speaker 1: both from its length and its prolixteness. On the other hand,
- 6:00:36Speaker 1: to condense the story, the shorter limits would be not
- 6:00:39Speaker 1: to make a translation, but virtually to write a new poem.
- 6:00:42Speaker 1: And that was not what I desired to undertake, nor
- 6:00:45Speaker 1: what I was competent to perform. There seemed to me
- 6:00:49Speaker 1: only one way out of this difficulty. The main incidents
- 6:00:52Speaker 1: of the epic are narrated in the original working passages,
- 6:00:55Speaker 1: which are neither diffused nor antily products, and which are
- 6:00:59Speaker 1: interspersed in a leading narrative of the epic at that
- 6:01:02Speaker 1: narrative itself is interspersed in the midst of more languthy episodes.
- 6:01:07Speaker 1: The more carefully examine the arrangement, the more clearly it
- 6:01:10Speaker 1: appeared to me that these main incidents of the epic
- 6:01:12Speaker 1: would bear a full and unaveraged translation into English verse,
- 6:01:16Speaker 1: and that these translations, linked together by short connecting notes,
- 6:01:20Speaker 1: would virtually present the entire story of the epic to
- 6:01:22Speaker 1: the modern reader in a form annudy limits which might
- 6:01:25Speaker 1: be acceptable. It would be, no doubt, a condensed portion
- 6:01:29Speaker 1: of the original epic, But the condensation would be affected
- 6:01:32Speaker 1: not by the translator telling a short story in his
- 6:01:34Speaker 1: own language, but by linking together those passages of the
- 6:01:37Speaker 1: original which described a main and striking incidence, and thus
- 6:01:41Speaker 1: telling the main story as told in the original work.
- 6:01:45Speaker 1: The advantage of this arrangement is that in the passages
- 6:01:47Speaker 1: presented to the reader, it is the poet who speaks
- 6:01:50Speaker 1: to them, not the translator. Though vast portions of the
- 6:01:53Speaker 1: original are escaped over, those which are presented are the
- 6:01:56Speaker 1: portions which narrate the main incidence of the epic, and
- 6:01:59Speaker 1: they described those incidents as told by the poet himself.
- 6:02:04Speaker 1: This is the plan I have generally adopted in the
- 6:02:06Speaker 1: present work, except in the three books which describe the
- 6:02:09Speaker 1: actual war, Books eight, nine, and ten. The under nine
- 6:02:12Speaker 1: books of the translation are complete translations of selected passages
- 6:02:16Speaker 1: of the original work. I have not attempted to conten
- 6:02:19Speaker 1: these passages, nor to expand them. I have endeavored to
- 6:02:22Speaker 1: put them before the English reader as they have been
- 6:02:24Speaker 1: told by the poet in Sanskrit. Occasionally, but rarely, a
- 6:02:28Speaker 1: few redundant couplets have been lift out, or a long
- 6:02:31Speaker 1: list of proper names or obscure allusions has been shortened,
- 6:02:34Speaker 1: And in one place only at the beginning of the
- 6:02:36Speaker 1: fifth book, I have added twelve couplets of my own
- 6:02:39Speaker 1: to explain the circumstances under which the story of savagery
- 6:02:42Speaker 1: is told. Generally, therefore, the translation may be accepted as
- 6:02:47Speaker 1: an unabridged, though necessarily a free translation of the passages
- 6:02:50Speaker 1: describing the main incidence of the epic. From this method
- 6:02:54Speaker 1: I have been compelled to depart much against my wish
- 6:02:58Speaker 1: in the three books describing the actual war. No translation
- 6:03:01Speaker 1: of an epic relating to a great war can be
- 6:03:04Speaker 1: acceptable which does not narrate the main events of the ore.
- 6:03:08Speaker 1: The war of the Mahavarat was a series of eighteen
- 6:03:10Speaker 1: battles fought on eighteen conjugative days, and I felt it
- 6:03:14Speaker 1: necessary to present a reader with an account of each
- 6:03:17Speaker 1: day's work. In order to do so, I have been
- 6:03:20Speaker 1: compelled to contents, and not merely to translate selected passages.
- 6:03:25Speaker 1: For the transactions of the ore, Unlike the other, incidents
- 6:03:28Speaker 1: of the epic have been narrated in the original with
- 6:03:30Speaker 1: almost inconceivable prolexity and endless reputation, and the process of
- 6:03:35Speaker 1: condensation in these three books has therefore been severe and thorough.
- 6:03:39Speaker 1: But nevertheless, even in these books I have endeavored to
- 6:03:42Speaker 1: preserve the character and the spirit of the original. Not
- 6:03:45Speaker 1: only are the incidents narrated in the same order as
- 6:03:48Speaker 1: in original, but they are told in the style of
- 6:03:50Speaker 1: the poet as far as possible. Even the similes and
- 6:03:54Speaker 1: metaphors and figures of speech are all or mostly adopted
- 6:03:57Speaker 1: from the original. The translator has not ventured either to
- 6:04:01Speaker 1: adopt his own distinct style of narration or to improve
- 6:04:04Speaker 1: on the style of the original with his own decorations.
- 6:04:08Speaker 1: Such is the scheme I have adopted in presenting an
- 6:04:10Speaker 1: epic of ninety thousand Sanskrit couplets in about two thousand
- 6:04:13Speaker 1: English couplets. The excellent and deservedly popular prose translation of
- 6:04:18Speaker 1: the Odysseum Homer by Messrs Butcher and Lang often led
- 6:04:22Speaker 1: me to think that perhaps a prose translation of these
- 6:04:25Speaker 1: selected passages from the Mahavarad might be more acceptable to
- 6:04:29Speaker 1: the modern reader, But a more serious consideration of the
- 6:04:32Speaker 1: question dispelled that idea. Homer has an interest for the
- 6:04:36Speaker 1: European reader which the Mahavarad cannot lay claim to. As
- 6:04:40Speaker 1: the father of European poetry, he has a claim on
- 6:04:43Speaker 1: the veneration of modern Europe which an Indian poet can
- 6:04:47Speaker 1: never pretend. To two thousands of European readers, Homer is
- 6:04:51Speaker 1: familiar in the original two hundreds of thousands. He is
- 6:04:54Speaker 1: known in various translations in various modern languages. What Homer
- 6:05:00Speaker 1: Jili wrote, a numerous class of students in Europe wish
- 6:05:03Speaker 1: to know, and a literal prose translation therefore is welcome.
- 6:05:07Speaker 1: After the Great Epic has been so often translated in verse.
- 6:05:11Speaker 1: The case is very different, with the Mahafared practically unknown
- 6:05:15Speaker 1: to European readers, and the translators of Homer themselves gracefully acknowledge.
- 6:05:20Speaker 1: We have tried to transfer not all the truth about
- 6:05:22Speaker 1: the poem, but the historical truths into English. In this process,
- 6:05:27Speaker 1: Homer must lose at least half his charm, his bright
- 6:05:30Speaker 1: and equable speed, the musical current of the narrative, which,
- 6:05:33Speaker 1: like the river of Egypt, flows from an undiscoverable source,
- 6:05:37Speaker 1: and mirrors the temples and the palaces of the unforgotten
- 6:05:40Speaker 1: gods and kings. Without the music of Verse, only a
- 6:05:43Speaker 1: half truth about Homer can be told. Another earnest worker
- 6:05:48Speaker 1: of the present day, who is endeavoring to interpret to
- 6:05:50Speaker 1: modern Englishmen the thoughts and sentiments and poetry of their
- 6:05:53Speaker 1: Englo section ancestors, has empatically declared that of all possible
- 6:05:58Speaker 1: translations of poetry, a merely prose translation is the most inaccurate. Prose,
- 6:06:03Speaker 1: says mister Stockford Brook further on, no more represents poetry
- 6:06:07Speaker 1: than architectured as music. Translations of poetry are never much good,
- 6:06:11Speaker 1: but at least they should always endeavor to have the
- 6:06:14Speaker 1: musical movement of poetry and to obey the laws of
- 6:06:16Speaker 1: the verse they translate. This appears to me to be
- 6:06:20Speaker 1: a very sound maxim and one of my greatest difficulties
- 6:06:23Speaker 1: in The task I have undertaken has been to try
- 6:06:26Speaker 1: and preserve something of the musical movement of the sonorous
- 6:06:28Speaker 1: Sanskrit poetry in the English translation. Much of the Sanskrit
- 6:06:33Speaker 1: Epic is written in the well known slowcometer of sixteen
- 6:06:36Speaker 1: syll levels in each line, and the endeavor to choose
- 6:06:39Speaker 1: some English meter which is familiar to the English here,
- 6:06:42Speaker 1: and which should reproduce to some extent the riadom, the majesty,
- 6:06:45Speaker 1: and the long immediate sweep of the Sanskrit wars. It
- 6:06:49Speaker 1: was necessary to adopt such a meter in order to
- 6:06:52Speaker 1: transfer something of the truth about the Mahawarat into English.
- 6:06:56Speaker 1: For without such reproduction or imitation of the musical movement
- 6:06:59Speaker 1: of the original, very much less than half a truth
- 6:07:01Speaker 1: is told. My kind friend, mister Edmund Russell, impelled by
- 6:07:05Speaker 1: that enthusiasm for Indian poetry and Indian art which is
- 6:07:08Speaker 1: a part of him, rendered me valuable help and assistance
- 6:07:11Speaker 1: in this matter, and I gratefully acknowledge the benefit I
- 6:07:15Speaker 1: have derived from his advice and suggestions. After considerable trouble
- 6:07:19Speaker 1: and anxiety, and after rendering several books in different English matters,
- 6:07:23Speaker 1: I felt convinced that the one final adopted was a
- 6:07:25Speaker 1: nearer approach to the Sanskrit sloga than any other familiar
- 6:07:29Speaker 1: English meter known to me. I have recited a verse
- 6:07:33Speaker 1: in this English meter and a sloga in presence of
- 6:07:35Speaker 1: listeners who have a better year for music than myself,
- 6:07:38Speaker 1: and they have marked a close resemblance. I quote a
- 6:07:42Speaker 1: few lines from the Sanskrit showing varieties of the sloka
- 6:07:45Speaker 1: meter and compying them with the scheme of the English
- 6:07:47Speaker 1: meter selected Yesha Kuntishu, tas rieman Isham, damap A daba

- 6:09:25Speaker 1: it be too much to assume that, even with the
- 6:09:27Speaker 1: help of dissimilarity in meters, I have been able to
- 6:09:30Speaker 1: transfer into my English that sweep and majesty of verse,
- 6:09:33Speaker 1: which is the charm of Sanskrit, and which often sustains
- 6:09:36Speaker 1: and elephants the simplest narration and the plainest ideas. Whether
- 6:09:40Speaker 1: at the support of these sustaining wings, my poor narration
- 6:09:43Speaker 1: must often plow through the dust, and I can only
- 6:09:46Speaker 1: ask for the indulgence of the reader, which every translator
- 6:09:49Speaker 1: of poetry from a foreign language can which reason ask
- 6:09:53Speaker 1: if the story has told in the translation is sometimes
- 6:09:56Speaker 1: but a plain, simple and homely narrative. For in your
- 6:10:00Speaker 1: plistic decoration, I have neither the inclination nor the necessary qualification.
- 6:10:04Speaker 1: The crisp and ornate style, the quaint expression that chiseledored
- 6:10:08Speaker 1: the new coin phrase in which modern English poetry is rich,
- 6:10:11Speaker 1: would scarcely suite the translation of an old epic whose
- 6:10:14Speaker 1: predominating characteristic is its simple and easy flow of narrative. Indeed,
- 6:10:19Speaker 1: the Mavarret would lose that unadorned simplicity, which is its
- 6:10:22Speaker 1: first and foremost feature, if the translator ventured to decorate
- 6:10:26Speaker 1: it with the art of the modern day, even if
- 6:10:28Speaker 1: he had been qualified to do so. For if there
- 6:10:32Speaker 1: is one characteristic feature which distinguishes the Mavarrat, as well
- 6:10:36Speaker 1: as the other Indian epic, the Ramayan, from all later
- 6:10:39Speaker 1: Sanskrit literature, it is the grand simplicity of its narrative,
- 6:10:43Speaker 1: which contrasts with the artificial graces of later Sanskrit poetry,
- 6:10:47Speaker 1: the poetry of Khalida's for instance is ornate and beautiful,
- 6:10:51Speaker 1: and almost scintillates with similes in every verse. The poetry
- 6:10:55Speaker 1: of the Mavarrat is plain and unpolished, and scarcely stoops
- 6:10:58Speaker 1: to a simile or a figure speech, unless the simile
- 6:11:01Speaker 1: comes naturally to the poet. The great deeds of godlike
- 6:11:05Speaker 1: kings sometimes suggests to the poet the mighty deeds of gods.
- 6:11:09Speaker 1: The rushing of warriors suggests the rushing of angry elephants
- 6:11:11Speaker 1: in the echoing jungle. The flight of whistling arrows suggests
- 6:11:15Speaker 1: the flight of sea birds. The sound and movement of
- 6:11:18Speaker 1: surging crowds suggest the heaving of willows. The erectitude of
- 6:11:22Speaker 1: a warrior suggests a tall cliff. The beauty of a
- 6:11:24Speaker 1: maiden suggests the soft beauty of the blue lotus. When
- 6:11:28Speaker 1: such comparisions come naturally to the poet, he accepts them
- 6:11:31Speaker 1: and notes them down, but he never seems to go
- 6:11:33Speaker 1: in quest of them. He is never anxious to beautify
- 6:11:36Speaker 1: and decorate. He seems to trust entirely to his grand narrative,
- 6:11:40Speaker 1: to his hairy characters, to his cheering incidents, to hold
- 6:11:43Speaker 1: millions of listeners in perpetual trial. The majestic and sonorous
- 6:11:48Speaker 1: sanscrit meter is at his command, and even this he
- 6:11:51Speaker 1: uses carelessly and with frequent slips known as usha to
- 6:11:54Speaker 1: letter grammarians, the poet certainly seeks for no art to
- 6:11:58Speaker 1: decorate his tale, trust to the lofty chronicle of bygun heroes,
- 6:12:02Speaker 1: to unchain the listening mankind and what heroes. In the
- 6:12:07Speaker 1: delineation of character, the Mavarret is far above anything which
- 6:12:10Speaker 1: you find in later sanscrit poetry, indeed, with much that
- 6:12:14Speaker 1: is fresh and sweet and lovely. In later suscrit poetry,
- 6:12:17Speaker 1: there is little or no portraiture of character. All heroes
- 6:12:21Speaker 1: are cast much in the same heroic mold. All lobsiic
- 6:12:23Speaker 1: heroines suffer in silence and barn with fever. All fools
- 6:12:27Speaker 1: are shrewd and impudent by turns, All names are heartless
- 6:12:30Speaker 1: and cruel and suffer. In the end, there is not
- 6:12:33Speaker 1: much to distinguish between one warrior and another, between one
- 6:12:37Speaker 1: tender woman and her sister. In the Mahvarate, we find
- 6:12:41Speaker 1: just the reverse. Each hero has a distinct individuality, a
- 6:12:44Speaker 1: character of his own, clearly discernible from that of other heroes.
- 6:12:49Speaker 1: No work of the imagination that could be named always,
- 6:12:52Speaker 1: excepting the Iliad is so rich and so true as
- 6:12:54Speaker 1: the Mavaret in the portraiture of human character, not interment
- 6:12:58Speaker 1: and suffering as Indne. They not under overwhelming passions as
- 6:13:02Speaker 1: in Sakespeare, but human character in its calm, dignity, of
- 6:13:05Speaker 1: strength and repose, like those immortal figures in marble which
- 6:13:09Speaker 1: the ancients turned out, and which modern sculptures have vainly
- 6:13:12Speaker 1: sought to reproduce. The old Kurumnar treated Astra sightless and feeble,
- 6:13:18Speaker 1: but majestic in his ancient grandeur. The noble grandsire Vishma Death,
- 6:13:22Speaker 1: subduer and unconquerable in the Oar, The dotty drona venerable,
- 6:13:26Speaker 1: prist and vengeful warrior, and the proud and purest archyir
- 6:13:30Speaker 1: Karan have each a distinct character of his own which
- 6:13:33Speaker 1: cannot be mistaken for a moment. The good and royally
- 6:13:36Speaker 1: deistir i omit the final a. In some long names
- 6:13:39Speaker 1: which occur frequently, the tiger wisted Vema and the helmuturing
- 6:13:43Speaker 1: June are the Agamemnon, the Ajets and the Achelus of
- 6:13:46Speaker 1: the Indian epic. The proud and unelding do you then,
- 6:13:50Speaker 1: and the fierce and fiery to Sassan stand out foremost
- 6:13:53Speaker 1: among the wrathful sons of the feeble Old Kurumnar and
- 6:13:57Speaker 1: Krishna possesses a character higher than that of Lusine, unmatched
- 6:14:01Speaker 1: in humanisdom, ever striving for righteousness and peace, he is
- 6:14:05Speaker 1: thorough and unrelenting in war when war has begun. And
- 6:14:08Speaker 1: the women of the Indian Epic pauses characters as marked
- 6:14:11Speaker 1: as those of the man, the stately and majestic Queen Gandhari,
- 6:14:15Speaker 1: the loving and doubting mother Preta, the proud and scornful Dropoty,
- 6:14:19Speaker 1: nursing her rats till her wrongs are fearfully revenged, and
- 6:14:22Speaker 1: the bright and brilliant and sunny Suvadra. These are distinct
- 6:14:25Speaker 1: images penciled by the hand of a true master in
- 6:14:28Speaker 1: the realm of creative imagination. And if the characters of
- 6:14:33Speaker 1: the Mahward impress themselves on the reader, the incidents of
- 6:14:36Speaker 1: the epic are no less striking. Every scene on the
- 6:14:40Speaker 1: shifting stage is a perfect and impressive picture. The Tournament
- 6:14:44Speaker 1: of the Princess, in which Urgin and Karn, the aquilus
- 6:14:47Speaker 1: and actor of the Indian Epic, first met, and each
- 6:14:51Speaker 1: marked the other for his foe, the gorgeous bridal of Tropothy,
- 6:14:55Speaker 1: the equally gorgeous coronation of Idsture and the death of
- 6:14:59Speaker 1: the proud and boisterous Sisupal. The fatal game of dice
- 6:15:02Speaker 1: and the scornful wrath of Droopody against our insulters, The
- 6:15:06Speaker 1: calm beauty of the forest life of the Pandebs, the
- 6:15:09Speaker 1: capital lifting in muchie Land, in which the gallant Urchin
- 6:15:13Speaker 1: threw off his disguise and stood forth as warrior and conqueror.
- 6:15:17Speaker 1: And the Homeric speeches of the warriors in the Council
- 6:15:19Speaker 1: of War on the eve of the great contest. Each
- 6:15:22Speaker 1: scene of this venerable old epic impresses itself on the
- 6:15:26Speaker 1: mind of the hushed and astonished reader. Then follows the
- 6:15:29Speaker 1: War of eighteen days. The first few days are more
- 6:15:32Speaker 1: or less uneventful and have been condensed in this translation,
- 6:15:36Speaker 1: often into few couplets, but the interest of the reader
- 6:15:39Speaker 1: increases as he approaches the final battle and fall of
- 6:15:42Speaker 1: the grand old fighter of Vishma. Then follows the steering
- 6:15:45Speaker 1: story of the death of Virgin's gallant boy and Urchin's
- 6:15:48Speaker 1: fierce revenge, and the death of the priest and warrior
- 6:15:51Speaker 1: Dothy Drona. Last comes the crowning event of the epic,
- 6:15:55Speaker 1: the final contest between Djune and Kern, the heroes of
- 6:15:58Speaker 1: the epic, and the war ends in a midnight slaughter
- 6:16:01Speaker 1: and the death of Dirudan. The rest of the story
- 6:16:05Speaker 1: is told in this translation in two books describing the
- 6:16:08Speaker 1: funerals of the deceased warriors, and it is to sacrifice.
- 6:16:13Speaker 1: The poems of Homer, says mister Gladstone, differ from all
- 6:16:17Speaker 1: other known poetry in this that they constituting themselves an
- 6:16:20Speaker 1: encyclopedia of life and knowledge at the time when knowledge, indeed,
- 6:16:25Speaker 1: such as lies beyond the bounds of actual experience, was
- 6:16:28Speaker 1: extremely limited, and when life was singularly fresh, vivid, and expansive.
- 6:16:33Speaker 1: This remark applies with even greater force to the Mahaward.
- 6:16:37Speaker 1: It is an encyclopedia of the life and knowledge of
- 6:16:39Speaker 1: ancient India, and it discloses to us an ancient and
- 6:16:43Speaker 1: forgotten world, a proud and noble civilization which has passed away.
- 6:16:48Speaker 1: Northern India was then parceled among warlike races, living side
- 6:16:51Speaker 1: by side under their warlike kings, speaking the same language,
- 6:16:55Speaker 1: performing the same religious rites, and ceremonies, rejoicing in a
- 6:16:59Speaker 1: common literature, rivaling each other in their schools of philosophy
- 6:17:02Speaker 1: and learning, as in the arts of peace and civilization,
- 6:17:06Speaker 1: and forming a confederation of Hindu nations, unknown to and
- 6:17:09Speaker 1: unknowing the outside world. What this confederation of nations has
- 6:17:13Speaker 1: done for the cause of human knowledge and human civilization
- 6:17:16Speaker 1: is a matter of history. Their inquiries into the hidden
- 6:17:20Speaker 1: truths of religion, embombed in the ancient puniciats, have never
- 6:17:24Speaker 1: been excelled within the last three thousand years. Their inquiries
- 6:17:28Speaker 1: into philosophy, preserved in the Psychia and the Bedanda systems,
- 6:17:32Speaker 1: were the first systems of true philosophy which the world produced,
- 6:17:36Speaker 1: and their great works of imagination, the Mahvar and the Ramayan,
- 6:17:40Speaker 1: will be paid without hesitation by the side of Homer
- 6:17:43Speaker 1: by critics who surveyed the Ward's literatures from a lofty
- 6:17:46Speaker 1: standpoint and just impartially of the waystrnd out by the
- 6:17:50Speaker 1: hands of man in all parts of the globe. It
- 6:17:53Speaker 1: is coarsely necessary to add that the discoveries of the
- 6:17:56Speaker 1: ancient Hindus in science and especially in mathematics, are heritage
- 6:18:00Speaker 1: of the modern world, and that the lofty religion of Buddha,
- 6:18:03Speaker 1: proclaimed in India five centuries before Christ, is not the
- 6:18:06Speaker 1: religion of a third of the human race. For the rest,
- 6:18:10Speaker 1: the people of modern India know how to appreciate their
- 6:18:13Speaker 1: ancient heritage. It is not an exaggeration to state that
- 6:18:17Speaker 1: the two hundred millions of windows of the present day
- 6:18:20Speaker 1: cherish in their hearts the story of their ancient epics.
- 6:18:23Speaker 1: The Hindus Kursi leaves Man or Roman, high or low,
- 6:18:26Speaker 1: educated or ignorant, whose earliest recollections do not cling around
- 6:18:29Speaker 1: the story and the characters of the great epics. The
- 6:18:33Speaker 1: almost illiterate oil manufacturer or confectioner of Bengal spells out
- 6:18:37Speaker 1: some modern translation of the mahavard to while away his
- 6:18:40Speaker 1: lisure hour. The tall and stalwart peasantry of the Northwest
- 6:18:44Speaker 1: know of the five Banda brothers and of their friend
- 6:18:47Speaker 1: the Artyus Krishna. The people of Bombay and Madras cherish
- 6:18:51Speaker 1: with equal order the story of the righteous war. And
- 6:18:55Speaker 1: when the traditions entails interspersed in the epic, and which
- 6:18:59Speaker 1: spoil the war Kazan Epic, have themselves a charm and
- 6:19:02Speaker 1: an attraction. And the morals inculcated in These tails sink
- 6:19:06Speaker 1: into the hearts of a naturally religious people and form
- 6:19:09Speaker 1: the basis of their moral education. Mothers in India know
- 6:19:13Speaker 1: no bettered him for importing wisdom and instruction to their daughters,
- 6:19:17Speaker 1: and elderly men know no rich a storehouse for narting
- 6:19:20Speaker 1: tales to children than these stories preserved in the epics.
- 6:19:24Speaker 1: No work in Europe, not Homer in Greece, or Virgil
- 6:19:27Speaker 1: in Italy, not Sixpeare or Milton in English speaking lands,
- 6:19:30Speaker 1: is the national property of the nations to the same
- 6:19:32Speaker 1: extent as the epics of India art of the Hindus.
- 6:19:36Speaker 1: No single work except the Bible has such influence in
- 6:19:39Speaker 1: affording moral instruction in Christian lands as the Mahwarat and
- 6:19:43Speaker 1: the Ramaan. In India. There have been the cherished heritage
- 6:19:46Speaker 1: of the Hindus for three thousand years. They are to
- 6:19:50Speaker 1: the present day interwoven with the thoughts and beliefs and
- 6:19:53Speaker 1: the moral ideas of a nation numbering two hundred millions.
