0:01
Speaker 1: Book eighth Weishmabad Fall of Vishma. All negotiations for a
0:09
Speaker 1: peaceful partition of the Kuru kingdom having failed, both parties
0:13
Speaker 1: now prepared for a battle, perhaps the most sanguinary that
0:17
Speaker 1: was fought on the plains of India in dencient times.
0:20
Speaker 1: It is a battle of nations, for all warlike races
0:23
Speaker 1: in northern India took a cher in it. Duritan's army
0:27
Speaker 1: consisted of his own division as well as the divisions
0:30
Speaker 1: of ten alive kings. Each allied power is said to
0:33
Speaker 1: have brought one ak Shaeni troops, and if he reduced
0:36
Speaker 1: this fabulous number to the moderate figure of ten thousand,
0:40
Speaker 1: including horse and foot cars and elephants, Duritan's army, including
0:44
Speaker 1: his own division, was over one hundred thousand strong. Yidistir
0:49
Speaker 1: had a smaller army, said to have been seven Akshainese
0:52
Speaker 1: in number, which he may by a similar reduction reckoned
0:55
Speaker 1: to be seventy thousand. His father in law, the King
0:59
Speaker 1: of the Panchas, and Darjin's relative, the King of the Machias,
1:03
Speaker 1: where his principal allies, Krishna, joined him as his friend
1:07
Speaker 1: and adviser and as the jederiotier of Virgin, but the
1:11
Speaker 1: Breshnis as a nation had joined the Ryudhan. When the
1:15
Speaker 1: two armies were drawn up in are and faced each other,
1:18
Speaker 1: and Darjin saw his revered elders and dear friends and
1:21
Speaker 1: relations among his foes, he was unwilling to fight. It
1:25
Speaker 1: was on this occasion that Krishna explained to him the
1:28
Speaker 1: great principles of duty in that memorable work called the
1:31
Speaker 1: Fagavad Gita, which has been translated into so many European languages.
1:36
Speaker 1: Belief in one supreme deity is the underlying thought of
1:39
Speaker 1: this work, and ever an Anon as Professor Gerber remarks,
1:43
Speaker 1: thus Krishna ever to the doctrine that for every man,
1:47
Speaker 1: no matter to what cost he may belong, the jealous
1:50
Speaker 1: performance of his duty and the teachairs of his obligations
1:53
Speaker 1: is his most important work. They did and chose the
1:57
Speaker 1: grand ould fighter Vishma as the commandery chief of his army.
2:02
Speaker 1: For ten days, Vishma held his own and inflicted serious
2:05
Speaker 1: loss on Idistir's army. The principal incidents of these ten days,
2:10
Speaker 1: ending with the fall of Vishma, are narrated in this book.
2:14
Speaker 1: This book is an approachment of book six of the
2:16
Speaker 1: original text. One pondebs rooted by Vishma Ushas with her
2:25
Speaker 1: crimson fingers OpEd the portals of the day nations armed
2:29
Speaker 1: for mortal combat in the field of battle lay beat
2:33
Speaker 1: of drum and blare of trumpet, and the sunkhas lofty
2:36
Speaker 1: sound by the answering cloud repeated shook the hills and
2:39
Speaker 1: tended ground, and the voice of sounding weapons which the
2:43
Speaker 1: warlike archards drew, and the nah of battle chargers as
2:47
Speaker 1: the armed horsemen flew mingled with the rolling thunder of
2:51
Speaker 1: each swiftly speeding car and its feeling bells, proclaiming by
2:55
Speaker 1: the elephants of war. Fishma led the Kuru forces strong
3:00
Speaker 1: as that's resistless flail human chiefs nor bright immortals could
3:04
Speaker 1: against his might prevail. Helmut wearing Galander Jun came in
3:10
Speaker 1: pride and mighty red held alofties, famed Ghandhib strove to
3:14
Speaker 1: cross the chieftain's path. A Himenu, son of a Jun,
3:19
Speaker 1: whom the fair Suvadrabor drove against Koshala's monarch, famed in
3:24
Speaker 1: arms and holy lore, hurling down Goshaala's standard, he either
3:29
Speaker 1: to be as combat one barely escaped it life the
3:32
Speaker 1: moner from the fiery at June's sun with is faded.
3:36
Speaker 1: For Douryuden we must drove in deathful war and against
3:40
Speaker 1: a proud dussasan brave Nichole drove his car Sadib mighty woman.
3:46
Speaker 1: Then the fierce Dur Mukhassat and the righteous king in
3:49
Speaker 1: his dear with the carboron Saya fought and sent feud
3:53
Speaker 1: and deathless hatred fired. The Brahman warrior Bold Drona, with
3:58
Speaker 1: the proud panchaalst once more his few of gold nations
4:03
Speaker 1: from the eastern regions against the bold bird pressed Creepa
4:08
Speaker 1: met the Wildcacas hailing from the farthest west. Drupert, proud
4:13
Speaker 1: and peerless monarch with his cohorts Onward bore against the
4:18
Speaker 1: warlick Jeddrath, chief of Sindo's sounding shore Chades, and the
4:23
Speaker 1: valiant Matchias nations gathered from Afar Vojas and the fierce
4:28
Speaker 1: Combojures mingled into dubious war through the day. The battle lasted,
4:35
Speaker 1: and no mortal tongue can tell what unnumbered chieftains perished
4:39
Speaker 1: and what countless soldiers fell, And the son knew not
4:43
Speaker 1: his father, and the sire knew not his son brother
4:47
Speaker 1: fought against his brother strange the deeds of balerdan. Horses fell,
4:53
Speaker 1: and shafts of chariots shivered in resistless shock, hurled against
4:58
Speaker 1: the foreman's chariots, speeding on like the rolling rock. Elephants
5:02
Speaker 1: by mahouts driven furiously each other tore trumpeting with trunks
5:07
Speaker 1: uplifted on the serried soldier's boar ceaselessplight. The gallant troopers

Speaker 1: with a starn unielding miThe pikes and axes, clubs and maces,
5:17
Speaker 1: swords and spears and lances breathe. Horsemen flee wes, fork
5:21
Speaker 1: lighting heroes fought in shining mail. Archers poured their feedered
5:26
Speaker 1: arrows like the bright and glistening hail. Vishma, leader of
5:31
Speaker 1: the chorus, as declined the ratful day through the shattered
5:35
Speaker 1: pant of legions, forced his all resistless way onward went
5:40
Speaker 1: his palm tree standard through the hostile ranks of war machias.
5:44
Speaker 1: Gashi's nor Panchadas faced the mighty wishmouse car. But the
5:49
Speaker 1: fiery son of a June, filled with shame and bade
5:52
Speaker 1: a red, turned his car and tawny coursers to abstract
5:56
Speaker 1: the chieftain's pet vainly fought the youthful warrior, though his
6:01
Speaker 1: doughts were pointed well and dissevered from his chariot. Vishma's
6:05
Speaker 1: pumpty standard fell angers teared Dance and Vishma, and he
6:10
Speaker 1: rose in all his might of a manue pierced with arrows,
6:14
Speaker 1: fell unfainted in the fight. Then, to save the son
6:18
Speaker 1: of Virtune, Matia's gallant princess came brave with their noble
6:23
Speaker 1: sweater youthful warriors known to fame Ah too hourly felt
6:28
Speaker 1: the warriors in that sad and fatal strife, Matia's dems
6:32
Speaker 1: and dark eyed maidens wept. The princess shortened life, slain
6:37
Speaker 1: by cwel faith untimely fell to brothers young and good, dauntless.
6:42
Speaker 1: Still the youngest brother, proud and gallant Sunka stood, But
6:48
Speaker 1: the helmet daring Urtune came to stop the victor's pat
6:51
Speaker 1: and to save the fearless Sunka from Dance and Wishma's
6:55
Speaker 1: red droopet two pont Charles's monarch swiftly rushed in to
7:00
Speaker 1: the prey strove to shield the broken pandubs and to
7:03
Speaker 1: stop the victor's way. But as fire consumed the forest,
7:08
Speaker 1: wrathful Vishma slew the foe. None could face. His sounding
7:12
Speaker 1: chariot and his ever circled bow, and the fainting panda
7:16
Speaker 1: brothers marked a foe, resistless, bold shoke like unprotected cattle
7:21
Speaker 1: teetered in the blighting cold. Onward came the mighty Vishma,
7:26
Speaker 1: and the slaughter fiercer grew from his bow like hissing serpents.
7:31
Speaker 1: Still the glistening arrows flew. Onward came the ensign to warrior,
7:36
Speaker 1: and his path was strewn with dead, and the broken
7:39
Speaker 1: pond of forces, crushed and driven, scattered, fled friendly knight,
7:44
Speaker 1: and gathering darkness closed the slaughter of the day. To
7:48
Speaker 1: their tents. The sons of Pantu held their sad and
7:51
Speaker 1: weary way. Two CRUs rooted by urchin grieved at heart,
8:00
Speaker 1: the goody stir wept the losses of the day, sought
8:03
Speaker 1: the aid of gallant Krishna for the morning's fresh array.
8:07
Speaker 1: And when from the eastern mountains Suriya drove his fiery car,
8:12
Speaker 1: Vishma and the helder Jun strove to turn the tide
8:15
Speaker 1: of war Vishma's glorious palmedy standard over the field of
8:19
Speaker 1: battle rose Urgin's monkey standard glittered, cleaving through the sered foes.
8:26
Speaker 1: They was from their cloud born chariots and gun derbs
8:29
Speaker 1: from the sky, gazed in mute and speechless wonder on
8:33
Speaker 1: the humid chiefs from high while its dauntless valor urgent steel.
8:38
Speaker 1: The mighty Vishma sa'ad warlike prince of fair Panchao, with
8:42
Speaker 1: the doughty Drona, fought ceaseless against a proud preceptor sent
8:48
Speaker 1: his dots like summer rain. Baffled by the skill of Drona,
8:52
Speaker 1: tris Dadhimiya strove in vain, but the fiercer dots of
8:56
Speaker 1: Drona pierced the princess shattered male hurtling on his battle
9:00
Speaker 1: chariot like an angry shower of hail, And they ran
9:04
Speaker 1: in twain his bowstring, and they cut his ponderous maze.
9:08
Speaker 1: Sleevy s deeth sent chariot driver streaked blood, his godlike
9:12
Speaker 1: face dauntless still Ponchild's hero springing from a shadowed car
9:18
Speaker 1: like a hungry dagert lion with his zebra rushed to war,
9:23
Speaker 1: dashed aside the darts of Drouna, with his broad and
9:26
Speaker 1: ample shield, with his saber, brightly framing, fierly stroughted red
9:30
Speaker 1: and field in his fury and his rashness he had
9:34
Speaker 1: fallen on that day. But the ever watchful Wema stopped
9:38
Speaker 1: a proud preceptor's way, proud rude and marked, with tanger
9:43
Speaker 1: Vima rushing in his car, and he sent Kalinga's forces
9:47
Speaker 1: to the thickening ranks of war. Onward came Kalinga warriors
9:52
Speaker 1: with the dark tornado's smith, dusky chiefs, nishad warriors, gloomy
9:57
Speaker 1: as the sable night rose, the sh shout of warring nations,
10:01
Speaker 1: surging to the battle's war, like the angry voice of tempest,
10:05
Speaker 1: and the ocean's troubled roar, Unlike darkly rolling breakers, ranks
10:10
Speaker 1: of sered warriors flew scarcely in the tikening darkness. Friends
10:15
Speaker 1: and kin from Forem and Neil felt the young Prince
10:19
Speaker 1: of Kalinga by the wrathful Wema slane, but against Kalinga's monarch,
10:23
Speaker 1: befful Vima fought in vain, safely set the star monarch
10:29
Speaker 1: on his howdah's lofty seat, till upon the giant tusker
10:33
Speaker 1: Fema sprang with a xile feet, then he struck with
10:37
Speaker 1: fatal fury. Brave Kalinga fell in twain, scattered fled his
10:41
Speaker 1: countless forces when they saw their leader slaying, darkly rolled
10:46
Speaker 1: the tide of battle. When Dudidan's valiant son strove against
10:50
Speaker 1: the son of vir Jun, famed for deeds of well
10:53
Speaker 1: or done, proud do you then marked a contest with
10:57
Speaker 1: her father's anxious heart came to say of his gallant
11:00
Speaker 1: lushmen from Bravay may now start. And the helmut wearing
11:05
Speaker 1: Urchin marked his son among his POWs, who from far
11:08
Speaker 1: his battle chariot and in rat terrific rose Urjun. Urjun
11:14
Speaker 1: cried the Curus, and in panic broke and fled stead
11:18
Speaker 1: In Tasker turned from battle. Soldiers fell among the dead.
11:23
Speaker 1: Godlike Krishna drove the coursers of resistless urgent scar and
11:27
Speaker 1: the sound of Urgin Sunkha rose above the cry of
11:30
Speaker 1: war and the voice of his Gandip spread a terror
11:35
Speaker 1: far and near. Crushed and broken, faint and frightened fled
11:39
Speaker 1: the Curus in their fear onward steel through scattered foemen,
11:44
Speaker 1: conquering Arjun held his way till the evening's gathering darkness
11:48
Speaker 1: closed the action of the day tree Vishma and urgin
11:53
Speaker 1: meat anxious was the proud to ruden when the golden
11:59
Speaker 1: morning came. For before the cut of virgin fled each
12:02
Speaker 1: Kuru chief of fame brave, the ruthen shook in anger,
12:07
Speaker 1: and the tremor moved his frame as he speake to
12:10
Speaker 1: ancient Vishma, words of rat in bitter shame, Vishma, dost
12:15
Speaker 1: thou lead the Kurus in this battle's crimson field warlike
12:19
Speaker 1: drona dotty goddess, like a broad and ample shield. Wherefore then,
12:24
Speaker 1: before your urchun, do the valiant curus fly? Wherefore doth
12:29
Speaker 1: our leader linger when he hears the battle cry dot
12:33
Speaker 1: a secret love for Pandev's quell our leader's matchless smile
12:37
Speaker 1: with a halting chill for Kurus dot the noble Vishma
12:41
Speaker 1: fid pardon chief if for the pandavs dot thy partial
12:46
Speaker 1: heart incline, yield my place, Let faithful Kurn lead my
12:50
Speaker 1: gallant Kuru. Line Anger flamed on Vishma's forehead, and the
12:56
Speaker 1: tear was in his eye and in accents few and trembling.
13:00
Speaker 1: Thus the warrior made reply vein our toil unwise? Do
13:04
Speaker 1: you then, nor can wish my warrior old, nor can
13:07
Speaker 1: Drona's killed the weapons her nature proud and bold, wash
13:12
Speaker 1: the stain of deeds unholy and of wrongs and outraged laws,
13:16
Speaker 1: conquer with a load of cunning against a right and
13:19
Speaker 1: righteous cause death to his dunes. Boys, Do you then,
13:23
Speaker 1: deaf to parents and to keen. Thou shalt paris in
13:27
Speaker 1: thy folly, in thy unrepented scene, for the wrongs and
13:31
Speaker 1: insults suffered unto good it is to his wife, for
13:35
Speaker 1: the kingdom from him stolen, for the plots against his life,
13:40
Speaker 1: for the dreadful oats of Viema, for the holy council
13:43
Speaker 1: given vainly given by Saint Lukrishna. Thou art doomed by
13:47
Speaker 1: righteous heaven. Meanwhile, since he leads thy forces fish m steel,
13:53
Speaker 1: shall meet his foe, or to conquer or to perish
13:56
Speaker 1: to the battle's front. I go speaking unto the battle,
14:01
Speaker 1: and send Vishma hurled his way, sweeping all before his chariot,
14:05
Speaker 1: as upon a previous day, and the army of wittstir
14:09
Speaker 1: shook from and to far the stand urchin nor the
14:12
Speaker 1: valiant Krishna gout against a tight content. Cars were shattered,
14:17
Speaker 1: fled the coursers. Elephants were pierced and slain. Shafts of
14:22
Speaker 1: chariots broken standards, Lifeless soldiers strewed the plain. Coats of
14:27
Speaker 1: mail were left by warriors as they ran with streaming hair.
14:31
Speaker 1: Soldiers fled like herds of cattle, stricken by sudden fear. Krishna,
14:37
Speaker 1: Aljun's chariot driver and the chief of rteaus Fame marked
14:41
Speaker 1: a broken pond of forces spake in grief and bitter shame.
14:46
Speaker 1: Urchin not in hour of battle had it been they
14:49
Speaker 1: wont to fly forward, lay thy path of glory, or
14:53
Speaker 1: to conquer or to die. If to day with angry
14:57
Speaker 1: Vishma Urgin chanced the dubious fo Shame on Krishna if
15:02
Speaker 1: he joins thee in this sad, inglorious flight, be it
15:06
Speaker 1: Minealono Urchin warriors wanted work to know Krishna. It is
15:11
Speaker 1: fiery discuss smites the all resistless foe. Then he flung
15:17
Speaker 1: the reins to Urchin, left the steeds and sounding car
15:20
Speaker 1: leaped upon the field of battle, rushed into the draftful
15:23
Speaker 1: war shame, cried Urjun in his anger. Krishna shall not
15:28
Speaker 1: wage the fire, nor shall acheun like a recream, seek
15:32
Speaker 1: for safety in his flight, and he dashed behind the warrior,
15:37
Speaker 1: and on foot. The chief pursued, caught him as the
15:41
Speaker 1: angry Krishna steal his distant form and vewed stallard. Urjun
15:45
Speaker 1: lifted Krishna as the storm lifts up a tree, placed
15:49
Speaker 1: him on his battle chariot, and he bent to him
15:52
Speaker 1: his knee. Pardon Krishna, discompulsion. Pardon this translation bold, But
15:59
Speaker 1: while Achin leaves, so Chief dain weapon of Dirath. Whit
16:02
Speaker 1: told by my warlike a vimnu, fears of a dross
16:06
Speaker 1: darling boy, by my brother's dearer truer teneen hours of
16:10
Speaker 1: pride and joy by my trots. I pledge I Krishna
16:15
Speaker 1: let c eye, angry, disc asleep, arched Arjun meets his foemen,
16:19
Speaker 1: and the splatted world will keep forth. It rushed the
16:23
Speaker 1: Fiyachun in his sounding battle car and like waves before
16:27
Speaker 1: him parted serrie ranks of hostile war vainly hurled his
16:32
Speaker 1: lunch studio. Then against a variant warrior's face, vainly Seilia,
16:37
Speaker 1: King of Madra. She would skill his ponderous maze with disdain.
16:42
Speaker 1: The godlike Achun dashed the feeble dorch aside hold aloft
16:46
Speaker 1: his famed gandhib as he stood with half depride, beat
16:51
Speaker 1: up grum and blare of sunka, and the thunder of
16:53
Speaker 1: his car and his weapon's fearful accents rose terrific. Near
16:58
Speaker 1: and far came regists, spund of forces sweeping onward, wave
17:03
Speaker 1: on wave, chades, machias and Panchada's chieftains true and warriors
17:09
Speaker 1: brave onward too came forth to Curus by the matchless
17:14
Speaker 1: wish Mahaled. Shouts arose and cry of anguish midst the
17:18
Speaker 1: dying and the dead. But the evening closed in darkness,
17:22
Speaker 1: and the night fires feitful flared, fainting troops and bleeding
17:27
Speaker 1: chieftains to their various tents repaired. Four Tuditan's brother slain
17:36
Speaker 1: dawned another day of battle. Crews knew that day too well.
17:40
Speaker 1: Without Queens of fair has Dinna wept before the evening fell,
17:44
Speaker 1: for as world of destruction we mus swept in mighty
17:48
Speaker 1: red broke the serried line of taskers vainly sent to
17:52
Speaker 1: cross his paths smoth Turiathan with his arrows. Three terrific
17:56
Speaker 1: dords and five smoth proud sailia from the battle scarce
18:01
Speaker 1: the board the chiefs alive. Then Duritan's fourteen brothers rushed
18:06
Speaker 1: into the dretful fray. Fatal was the luckless moment, inauspicious
18:11
Speaker 1: was the day licked his mouth, the vengeful Wema, and
18:15
Speaker 1: they shook his bow and lands as the lion lolts
18:18
Speaker 1: his red tanue when he see his prey advance, short
18:23
Speaker 1: and fierce the furious combat. Six pal princes torned and fled.
18:28
Speaker 1: Eight of proud Uruden's brothers fell and slumbered with the dead,
18:33
Speaker 1: five sighed Tekey's son slain. Morning with her fiery radiance
18:39
Speaker 1: of the portals of the day shone once more on
18:43
Speaker 1: Kouru warriors, bund of chiefs in dread array. Vima and
18:47
Speaker 1: the Galantachun led once more to van of war, but

Speaker 1: the proud preceptor Drona faced them in his sounding car,
18:55
Speaker 1: steeled with gallant son of Virgin Luxman strove with bow
18:58
Speaker 1: and shield, vainly strove. His faithful henchmen bore him bleeding
19:03
Speaker 1: from the field. Lutschman, son of Proud to Judan of Vimenu,
19:08
Speaker 1: Arguin's son doomed to die in ute and glory. Beneath
19:12
Speaker 1: the same revolving sun sat the day for Brishney warriors.
19:17
Speaker 1: Brave sight, Ticky's son submired against a cruel Vururistavas strove
19:21
Speaker 1: in unrelenting five ten brave brothers Pride of Breshney fell
19:27
Speaker 1: upon that fatal day, slain by mighty Wuristravas, and upon
19:31
Speaker 1: the red field lay six. Wema's danger and rescue dawned
19:41
Speaker 1: another day of slaughter. Heathless Wema forced his way through durden,
19:46
Speaker 1: sered legions who are dark, death and danger lay and
19:50
Speaker 1: the hundred foemen gathered and unequal was the strife. We
19:54
Speaker 1: mus strove with furious valor, for his four feet was
19:57
Speaker 1: his life. Fair puncha He's watchful monarch saw the danger
20:02
Speaker 1: from Afar forced his wayward. Pleading Vima fought beside his
20:06
Speaker 1: shattered car, and he helped the fainting warrior placed him
20:10
Speaker 1: on his chariot seat. But the crews darkly gathered, surging
20:14
Speaker 1: round as watersmeathed Origin's son and twelve brave chieftains dashed
20:20
Speaker 1: into the dubious fray, rescued Vema and proud Rupert from
20:24

20:30
Speaker 1: came with ceaseless might, drown a smoth the scattered pandubs
20:34
Speaker 1: till the darksome hours of night seven pandubs, rooted by Vishma.
20:42
Speaker 1: Morning came, and the angry June rushed into the dreadful war.
20:47
Speaker 1: Krishna drove his milk quiet coursers onward, flew his sounding car,
20:52
Speaker 1: and before his monkey banner quailed a faint and frightened
20:55
Speaker 1: foes till next star on below the ocean, Whichma's pumped
21:00
Speaker 1: tribanner rose vainly. Then the good it is their stalwart.

21:23
Speaker 1: standard shook his chariot, battle tossed, felt his proud and
21:27
Speaker 1: fiery coursers, and the dreadful day was lost. Sadeban knuckle
21:32
Speaker 1: vainly strove with all their might till their broken scattered
21:36
Speaker 1: forces rested in the shades of night. Eighth Iravat slain
21:43
Speaker 1: Dilton's brother slain Morning saw the turn of battle which
21:49
Speaker 1: Man's jadiot tear was lain and his coursers uncontrolled, flew
21:53
Speaker 1: across the red and plain ill It fared with Gurul
21:57
Speaker 1: forces when their leader went astray, and their foremost chiefs
22:01
Speaker 1: and warriors with the dead and dying lay. But Ganhar's

Speaker 1: young Yabbad fierce, Guanhar's princess swore brave Yabbad, son of Virjun,
22:19
Speaker 1: whom a Naga princess bore mounted on their milk white
22:24
Speaker 1: churchers proudly did the princess sweep like the sea birds,
22:28
Speaker 1: giming gaily over the bosom of the deep. Five of
22:32
Speaker 1: stout Gundhar's princes in that fatal combat fell, and the sixth,
22:37
Speaker 1: in fear and faintness, fled theoful tale to tell shortly last.
22:42
Speaker 1: Irabat's triumph transient was the victor's joy. Alumbasha, dark and
22:47
Speaker 1: dreadful came against the gallant boy, fierce and faithful. Was
22:52
Speaker 1: the combat mournful as the tale to tell like a
22:56
Speaker 1: lotus rudely severed gallant son of Virgin fell Urgin heard
23:01
Speaker 1: the tale of sorrow, and his heart was filled with grief.
23:05
Speaker 1: Does he speak a father's sanguise? Faint? His accents few
23:09
Speaker 1: and brief. Wherefore Krishna four kingdom mingled in this fatal fray,
23:15
Speaker 1: kinsmen killed and comrades slaughtered, dear alas the price we
23:20
Speaker 1: pay wu unto Ustina's empire built upon our children's grave,
23:26
Speaker 1: tearer than the throne of monarchs, was itot young and brave,
23:31
Speaker 1: young in ears and rich in beauty, with thy mother's
23:34
Speaker 1: win some eye or does lay in my gallant warriar
23:38
Speaker 1: and thy father was not nigh, but thy young blood
23:42
Speaker 1: calls for vengeance. Noble Krishna, drive the car, Let them
23:47
Speaker 1: fill the father's proise. Those who slew the son in
23:50
Speaker 1: war and the dash that listening tear drop, and his
23:55
Speaker 1: words were few and brief, broken ranks and slaughter, chieftains
23:59
Speaker 1: spoken angry father's grief. V Mathur revenged it Abad, and
24:04
Speaker 1: as onward steel he flew brothers of the proud Dirudan
24:08
Speaker 1: in that fatal combat, sleeve still advanced the fatal carnage
24:13
Speaker 1: till the darksome close of day, when the undad and
24:16
Speaker 1: the warie, with the dead and dying lay nine Pandas
24:22
Speaker 1: rooted by Vishma fell. The thickening shades of darkness on
24:27
Speaker 1: the red and ghastly plain torchesed by the white tents
24:31
Speaker 1: flickered red fire showed the countless lane with the bosom
24:36
Speaker 1: sorrow Leddin proud Uridan drew his breath, wept the issue
24:39
Speaker 1: of the battle, and his warlike brothers dead, spent with
24:43
Speaker 1: grief and silent sorrow slowed the grown or gwent where
24:48
Speaker 1: arose in dewey starlight, whish most proud and snowy tenned,
24:53
Speaker 1: and which tears and hands gonjoined. Thus the said Dourdan spoke,
24:57
Speaker 1: and his mournful beater accents oft by heaving sighs were
25:01
Speaker 1: broke Vishmah on thy matchless prois. Koru's hopes and fates
25:08
Speaker 1: depend gods nor man. Which war like Vishma can in
25:12
Speaker 1: field of war, content brave in war or sons of Pandu.
25:17
Speaker 1: But they face not Vishma's might in their fears and
25:20
Speaker 1: deathless hatred slay my brothers in the fire mind. I
25:25
Speaker 1: pledge O Chief of Curus, save Vastina's royal rays On,
25:30
Speaker 1: then sent King my father, grant the never failing grace.
25:35
Speaker 1: If within thy noble bosom pardon griell worts, I say,
25:40
Speaker 1: secret love for sans of Pandu holds a soft and
25:43
Speaker 1: partial sway. If thy inner heart's affection anto Pandu's sons incline,
25:49
Speaker 1: Grant that colonel laid my forces against a foeman's hostile line.
25:55
Speaker 1: Visma's heart was full of sadness and desighlids dropped a tear.
26:00
Speaker 1: Soft and mournful were his accents and his vision true
26:03
Speaker 1: and clear. Vain do jan is dis contest and thy
26:09
Speaker 1: mighty host this vain? Why it blood of friendly nations
26:13
Speaker 1: trends this red and rieking plain? They must win? Who
26:17
Speaker 1: strong in virtue fight for virtue, stainless laws terribly armed,
26:22
Speaker 1: a stallowed warrior who is armed in righteous cause? Think Doya.
26:27
Speaker 1: Then one gunderves took the captive, and the slave didn't
26:31
Speaker 1: Dujin run thy fatthers urchin righteous chief and brave. When
26:37
Speaker 1: in Machias fields a pasture captured we without skind didn't
26:41
Speaker 1: the June in his valor beat thy countless force and mind.
26:46
Speaker 1: Krishna now hath come to Urchun. Krishna drives his battle
26:49
Speaker 1: car cauls. Nor man can face these heroes in the
26:53
Speaker 1: field of righteous war. Ruin frowns upon Dee do yoden
26:58
Speaker 1: Am upon thy impious, in thy pride and in thy folly.
27:03
Speaker 1: Thou hast court at cruel faith. Wishma steel will do
27:07
Speaker 1: his duty and his hand. It is not far then
27:11
Speaker 1: many other chieftains follow. Fatal is this coool war down
27:18
Speaker 1: the day of mighty slaughter and of dread and deathful
27:21
Speaker 1: wor and sent. Vishma, in his anger, drove once more
27:25
Speaker 1: his sounding car morn to noon and noon's evening. None
27:30
Speaker 1: could face the victor's red broke and shattered. Faint and frightened.
27:35
Speaker 1: Bandus fled before his fat still amidst the dead and dying,
27:40
Speaker 1: moved his proud, resistless car till the gathering night and
27:44
Speaker 1: darkness closed the horrors of the war. Ten fall of
27:50
Speaker 1: Wishma Good, His dear gazed its sorrow on the dark
27:55
Speaker 1: and costly plain, shed his tears on chiefs and warriors.
27:59
Speaker 1: By the Vishma slay veign this unavailing battle, vein this
28:05
Speaker 1: woful loss of life against the death, compelling Vishma hopeless
28:10
Speaker 1: in this artless strife. As a lordly taskar tramples on
28:15
Speaker 1: a marsh of feeble reads, as a forest conflagration on
28:19
Speaker 1: the porch tootland feeds. Vishma rides upon my warriors in
28:24
Speaker 1: his mighty battle. Car God nor mortal chief can face
28:27
Speaker 1: him in the gory field of war. Vain our toil
28:32
Speaker 1: and vain the valor of our kinsmen loved and lost,
28:36
Speaker 1: vainly fight my faithful brothers by a luckless fortune. Crost
28:41
Speaker 1: nations pour their life blood vainly ceaseless weeks the sound
28:45
Speaker 1: of war. Krishna, stop this cruel carnage. Unto loots once
28:49
Speaker 1: more we go, said they hold them in night counsel,
28:55
Speaker 1: and the chiefs, in silence meet and and to enscient
28:59
Speaker 1: Vishma than marcy to Entriau. Vishma loved the son Sapandu
29:04
Speaker 1: with a father's loving heart. But from trot unto the
29:08
Speaker 1: ruden righteous Vishma not part son Sapandu, said the chieftain
29:15
Speaker 1: Prince Diurudan is my lord. Vishma is no faithless servant,
29:19
Speaker 1: nor will break his plighted word valiant aaryenable princess. But
29:24
Speaker 1: the chief is yet unborn. While I lead the course
29:27
Speaker 1: of battle, who the tidal war can turn? Listen more
29:33
Speaker 1: with vanquished foemen or who falls or takes to fight,
29:36
Speaker 1: cast his weapons, craves for marcy and send Vishma doth
29:40
Speaker 1: not fight Fishma, doth not fight the rival who submits
29:44
Speaker 1: fatigue and warm. Fishma doth not fight the wounded, doth
29:48
Speaker 1: not fight the women born back unto their tents the
29:54
Speaker 1: pandav starned Krishna deep and wise, he unto the ansiossertion
29:58
Speaker 1: turs in solemn whi or cries urchin there is hope
30:03
Speaker 1: of thrive. Had not faithful Vishma sworn he will fight
30:08
Speaker 1: known the warrior. He will fight No woman born female
30:13
Speaker 1: child was brave. Secondly, Trupet's youngest son of pride. Gods
30:17
Speaker 1: have turned him to a warrior, placed him by Yudistr's side,
30:22
Speaker 1: place him in the Vanna battle. Mighty Vishma leaves the strife,
30:27
Speaker 1: turnut ease, we fight and conquer, and the forefeet is
30:30
Speaker 1: his life. Shame, exclaimed the angry jun Not in secret.
30:35
Speaker 1: Heroes fight not behind a child or woman screen their
30:39
Speaker 1: valor and their mind. Krishna loth his archa Ujem to
30:45
Speaker 1: pursue his hateful strife trick against the seinless Vishma fraud
30:50
Speaker 1: upon his spotless life. No asdaal good and noble Krishna,
30:55
Speaker 1: as a child I climbed his knee. As a boy
30:58
Speaker 1: I called him father, hung upon him lovingly. Paris's conquest
31:04
Speaker 1: dearly purchased by a mean, deceitful strife, paris crown and
31:08
Speaker 1: Jewel's captor, one with Vishma's saintly life gravely answered nobl Krishna.
31:16
Speaker 1: Vishma falls by close of day, victim to the cause
31:19
Speaker 1: of virtue. He himself had showed the way. Dear or
31:24
Speaker 1: hated Bafoemena June, thou shalt fight and slay Wherefore else
31:29
Speaker 1: the blood of nations hast the fort from day to day.
31:34
Speaker 1: Morning dawned and mighty uchun of women, new young and
31:37
Speaker 1: bold drupet Monarchopanchal and bidout, stern and old, bravet Is
31:43
Speaker 1: Tear and his brothers, clad in arms and shining mail,
31:47
Speaker 1: rushed to Oar, where Wishma's standard gleamed and glittered in
31:51
Speaker 1: the gale, proud to it and marked their onset and
31:55
Speaker 1: its fatal purpose. New and his bravest man in chieftains
31:59
Speaker 1: against a fiery palm of strew which composed a stalwart
32:03
Speaker 1: monarch and Ttrona's mighty son, a tavaliant bowman Creeper stemmed
32:08
Speaker 1: the battle still unwon, and his younger fears. Dussasan, thirsting
32:13
Speaker 1: for the deathful war against the helmutdwaring Uchun drew his
32:17
Speaker 1: mighty battle car as the high and rugged mountain meets
32:21
Speaker 1: the angry ocean's sway, proud Dusassan war to Turjun in
32:25
Speaker 1: his wild and onward way. And as myriad white winged
32:29
Speaker 1: sea birds swoop upon the darksome wave, clouds of dirts
32:33
Speaker 1: and glistening lances drank the red blood of the brave
32:38
Speaker 1: other warlike kurchieftains came the bravest and the best drown
32:42
Speaker 1: hself and Wagadata, Monarch of the farthest East carbon Selia,
32:48
Speaker 1: mighty warrior, King of Madra's distant land, Princess from Abundhi's regions,
32:54
Speaker 1: Chiefs from Malab's rocky strand Chadrath, matchless fighter King of
33:00
Speaker 1: Hindo sounding shore, Chitrasena, anbiquirt countless chiefs and warriors more
33:06
Speaker 1: and the face the fiery pandabs, peerless in their warlike mind,
33:10
Speaker 1: long and dreadful, reached a combat darkly closed the dubious fight.
33:16
Speaker 1: Thus they rose like clouds of summer, glistening dots, like
33:19
Speaker 1: lightning plate darksome grewed the sky with arrows. Ticker grew
33:24
Speaker 1: the gloomy shade. Cars went down and mailed horsemen. Soldiers
33:29
Speaker 1: fell in dread array. Elephants with white tusks broken and
33:33
Speaker 1: its mangled bodies lay. Urgin and the stalwart Veama, piercing
33:38
Speaker 1: through their countless foes, side by side, impelled their chariots
33:43
Speaker 1: where the palm tree standard rose. Where the peerless ancient Vishma,
33:48
Speaker 1: on the dark and fatal day, worrying with abandoned nations,
33:52
Speaker 1: still resistless, held his way on he came his palm
33:57
Speaker 1: tree standard, still the front of battle. Neel and like
34:00
Speaker 1: sun from dark cloud's parting, Vishma burst on Arjin's view,
34:06
Speaker 1: and his eyes brave virgin shaded at the all inspiring side.
34:10
Speaker 1: Half he wished to turn for shelter from the chief
34:13
Speaker 1: of god like mind, but bold Krishna drove his chariot,
34:18
Speaker 1: whispered unto him. His plan urgent placed the young Sigondi
34:22
Speaker 1: in the deabtful battle's van. Vishma viewed the bond of
34:27
Speaker 1: forces with a calm, unmoving face, saw not Aarjin's fair
34:32
Speaker 1: gandhib saw not Wema's mighty maze. Smiled to see the
34:37
Speaker 1: young Sikondi rushing to the battle's fore like the foam
34:41
Speaker 1: upon the billow. When the mighty storm winds roar, Vishma
34:46
Speaker 1: thought of ward he plaited, and the boat that he
34:48
Speaker 1: had sworn dropped his arms before the warrior, who was
34:52
Speaker 1: but a female born, and the standard, which no warrior
34:57
Speaker 1: ever saw in bayse retreat idly stood upon the chariot
35:01
Speaker 1: tree with shade on Vishma's seeth, and the flagstaff fell
35:06
Speaker 1: dishevered on the crushed and broken car as from majure
35:10
Speaker 1: sky of midnight falls the Mateor's flaming star not by
35:14
Speaker 1: young Sikhandi's arrows. Vishma's palm tary standard fell nat Sikandi's
35:19
Speaker 1: feeble lances. Did the peerless Vishma quail true to oath.
35:24
Speaker 1: The bleeding chieftain torned, his darkening face away, torned and
35:28
Speaker 1: fell the sun declining marked the closing of the day
35:33
Speaker 1: and the dust the fatal battle truce came at the
35:36
Speaker 1: close of day Koruz and the silent Panda Suwant, where Vishma,
35:41
Speaker 1: dyeing lay Urgin wept as for a father weeps his
35:46
Speaker 1: sad and soarwing son good. It is deer cours. The
35:49
Speaker 1: morning Kurukshetra's war begun, stood t Yohanandi's brothers mantled with
35:55
Speaker 1: the gloom of grief. Foes like laughing brothers, sorrowed round
35:59
Speaker 1: the grate. The dying chief argunskin and pointed arrows made
36:04
Speaker 1: the hero's dying bed, and in soft and gentle accents
36:08
Speaker 1: to to Yudhan. Thus he said, listen unto my words

Speaker 1: to Udan, atter to my latest breath, List to Vishma's
36:17
Speaker 1: dying counsel, and rever the voice of death and this
36:22
Speaker 1: dread and doubtful battle. If thy stony heart can grieve,

Speaker 1: save the chieftain's tomb to slaughter, bid the fated nations
