12:25
Speaker 1: Selia strove and fought in vain, and his warriors took

Speaker 1: fought and fell, and his deeds to distant ages, birds
15:28
Speaker 1: and wandering minstrel's tail, like a taskar of the forest,
15:32
Speaker 1: by surrounding hunters slain like old conjuming wild fire, quanced
15:37

Speaker 1: long forgotten sigh. Wherefore voice of evening bugle speaks not
16:43
Speaker 1: on the battlefield merry counts, nor sounding trumpet music to

Speaker 1: the warrior's yeal. Harp is hushed within the dark tents,
16:53
Speaker 1: and the voice of warlike song birds beside the evening
16:57

Speaker 1: bosom seats the darkening load of war, and an injured
23:09
Speaker 1: father's vengeance seeks the slaughtered hero's foe. Pardon them if
23:14
Speaker 1: sorrowing urgin seeks a far and distant way. Mighty is
23:18
Speaker 1: the vow of virgin cruel is his task today? Passing
23:23
Speaker 1: by the doughty Druna, onward sped the fiery car through
23:27
Speaker 1: the broken line of warriors, through the shattered ranks of
23:30
Speaker 1: war Angas, and the brave Galingas vainly crossed his wrathful way.
23:36
Speaker 1: Proud Avan, These from the regions where fair Jambal's water
23:40
Speaker 1: stray famed, Avanti's fated princess vainly led their highland force
23:46
Speaker 1: fell beneath the Rata. Virgin staid nor stopped his onward course. Onward, steel,
23:52
Speaker 1: with speed of lightning, thundered Urchin's battle car to the
23:56
Speaker 1: spot where Jedred stood behind the ranks of war. Now
24:01
Speaker 1: the sun from highest janet, red and fiery radiance. Length
24:06
Speaker 1: long and weary was the passage Urgin's foaming steeds were spent.
24:11
Speaker 1: Arjun said the faithful Krishna. Art was his thy cruel quest,
24:17
Speaker 1: But thy foaming courser's falter underneath a moment's rest be
24:22
Speaker 1: it so brave Virgin answered, from our chariot, we alight
24:27
Speaker 1: rest a while they weary horses. Krishna I will watch
24:30
Speaker 1: the fire. Speaking. Thus the armed ur Jung lightly leaped
24:35
Speaker 1: upon the lee, stood on guard to bow and arrow.
24:38
Speaker 1: By the green and shady tree, Krishna groomed the jatted horses,
24:42
Speaker 1: faint and feeble, rather to gore. With a healing hand.
24:46
Speaker 1: He tan the wounds the bleeding corser's bore, watered them
24:50
Speaker 1: beside the river by the jaffire's soft cares, gave unto
24:55
Speaker 1: them welcome fodder, gave unto them needful rest. Thus refreshest
25:00
Speaker 1: the noble coursers, Krishna harnessed to the car, and the
25:04
Speaker 1: gleaming hal legend rushed once more into the war came
25:08
Speaker 1: on him the coour warriors. Darksome waves, succeeding wave standards
25:13
Speaker 1: decked with strange devices, streaming banners rich and brave. Foremost
25:19
Speaker 1: was the glorious standard of Preceptor Drona's son Lion's Tale
25:24
Speaker 1: in golden brilliance on his battle chariot shorn. Oliphant's rope
25:29
Speaker 1: was current sand signed made of rich and barnished gold,
25:33
Speaker 1: and the bulbe deck the standard of the bowman creeper,
25:36
Speaker 1: bold picock made of precious metal, decked with jewels, rich
25:41
Speaker 1: and rare. Pricessena's noble standard shown aloft, serene and fair
25:47
Speaker 1: plowshare of a golden lusser shining like the radiant flame
25:51
Speaker 1: spoke the car of Mighty Celia Madras, King of warlike fame,
25:56
Speaker 1: far and guarded well by chieftains shown the dazzling seaver
26:00
Speaker 1: bore En, signed proud of Jdrath, brought from Sindhu's sounding shore.
26:06
Speaker 1: On the car of Somedeata shown a stake of sacrifice,
26:11
Speaker 1: silver boar and golden parrots. These were Salua's proud device,
26:16
Speaker 1: last and brightest of the standards on the Prince Studiotan's car,
26:21
Speaker 1: lordly elephant in jewels proudly shown above the war nine
26:26
Speaker 1: heroic crew chieftains, bravest warriors and the best leagued I
26:31
Speaker 1: come to grapple Jum and on faithful Krishna pressed. Urgent
26:36
Speaker 1: swept like sweeping warlowind all resistless in his force, Satnavoe
26:41
Speaker 1: and Wagin combat held his ever onward course. For he
26:46
Speaker 1: sighted jedred meets the circling chiefs of war against that
26:50
Speaker 1: warrior gream and silent, Urgent drove his furious car. Now
26:56
Speaker 1: the day God rolled his chariot on the western clouds
26:59
Speaker 1: of Foo. Kern self and five great chieftains round brave
27:04
Speaker 1: judgreaths came vainly strove the valiant Duchin, struggling against the
27:09
Speaker 1: Kuru line, charged upon the peerless carn as he marked
27:13
Speaker 1: the daisy decline. Krishnaden, a prayer whispered, came a friendly
27:19
Speaker 1: sable cloud, veiled the red Sun's dazzling brilliance in a
27:23
Speaker 1: dark and inkish shroud. Kern deemed the evening darkness now
27:28
Speaker 1: proclaimed the close of strife. Failing in his plighted promise,
27:32
Speaker 1: Urgent must surrender life. And his comrade chiefs, rejoicing slackened
27:38
Speaker 1: in their furious fight. Judgrot hailed it to gladness, thickening
27:42
Speaker 1: shades of welcome night in that sad and fatal error
27:47
Speaker 1: did the cour chief's combine urgent, quick as bolt of
27:51
Speaker 1: lightning broke their roll unguarded line like an onward sweeping wildfire,
27:56
Speaker 1: shooting forth its lolling tongue on the startled judd Utchune,
28:01
Speaker 1: in his fury flung shot the strife as angry falcon
28:05
Speaker 1: swoops upon its helpless prey. Urgent spat his vengeful arrow
28:09
Speaker 1: and his poeman lifeless lay. Friendly winds removed the dark
28:14
Speaker 1: cloud from the reddening western heel, and the sun in
28:18
Speaker 1: crimson luser cast its fiery radiance tail ere. The evening's
28:23
Speaker 1: mantling darkness fell over distant heel and playing proud Duridan's
28:28
Speaker 1: many brothers, whereby vengeful Vima slain and Duryodhan stung by
28:34
Speaker 1: sorrow wasted, still unceasing fight in the teak and gathering darkness,
28:39
Speaker 1: tortuous lit the gloom of night. Carne, furious in his
28:43
Speaker 1: anger for his Jadreatha Slaine and for brothers of Duruthan,
28:48
Speaker 1: sleeping lifeless on the plain against the gallant son of Wema,
28:53
Speaker 1: drove his deep, resounding car and in gloom and midnight
28:56
Speaker 1: darkness waked the echoes of the war Wema's son brave
29:01
Speaker 1: katukatch twice, proud Curn's horses sleeve twice. The humble, steedless
29:06
Speaker 1: Curn from the dubious battle flew came again. The fiery Curn.
29:12
Speaker 1: Vengeance flamed it in his heart. Like the midnight's lurid
29:16
Speaker 1: lightning spaed his fell and fatal dart Woeful was the
29:21
Speaker 1: hour of darkness. Luckless was the starry sway. Wema's son
29:25
Speaker 1: in Newton Valor, lifeless on the ratfield lay then was closed,
29:31
Speaker 1: the midnight battle silent, shone the starry light. Wema knew
29:36
Speaker 1: nor rest nor slumber through the long and woful night.
29:41
Speaker 1: Five fall of Drona ere the crimson morning glittered proud
29:47
Speaker 1: to it and sad at heart to the leader of
29:50
Speaker 1: the Kurus. Did his sorrows? Does impart sadly speech the
29:55
Speaker 1: contest Drona on the battle's gory plain Koruchief's r then fallen,
30:01
Speaker 1: and my brothers mostly slaying. Can it be Obita brahmanas
30:06
Speaker 1: peerless in the art of war? Can it be that
30:09
Speaker 1: we shall falter while thou speedest the battle car Pandu's
30:14
Speaker 1: sons are but thy pupils. Argin meets thee not in fight,
30:18
Speaker 1: none can face the great Acharia in his rat and
30:21
Speaker 1: warlike mind. Wherefore then, in every battle are the cour
30:26
Speaker 1: chieftain slain? Wherefore lie my warlike brothers lifeless on the
30:31
Speaker 1: ghastly play? Is it that the faiths are battle against
30:35
Speaker 1: the Kuru house combined? Is it that thy heart's affection
30:39
Speaker 1: anto Pandu's sons incline? If thy secret love and mercy
30:44
Speaker 1: steal the sons of Pandu Clay held thy place to
30:48
Speaker 1: gallant karn On, God's prince of warlike fame, answered, Drunah,
30:53
Speaker 1: brief and ratful, fair Gundhar is royal son rapist. All
30:58
Speaker 1: the gory harvest thy sinful actions done cast no blame
31:03
Speaker 1: on mute presumption on a warrior's fleecy hair, faithful unto death,
31:08
Speaker 1: is Drona to his promise blighted? Fair? Ask thyself, oh,
31:13
Speaker 1: Prince Doudan, bound by battle sacred laws? Wherefore fight is
31:18
Speaker 1: not a urcheen for thy house and for thy cause?
31:22
Speaker 1: Ask the dark and deep Sacuni. Where is now his
31:25
Speaker 1: low device? Wherefore wills he not his weapon as he
31:29
Speaker 1: wills the load that dies? Asked the chief who proudly
31:33
Speaker 1: boasted arched urgeon health slay Halm Durgan swais the battle
31:38
Speaker 1: whither now dot Carn stay no the truth the gallandchen
31:44
Speaker 1: hath no peer on art below, and no warrior breeds.
31:47
Speaker 1: Do you then, who can face thy helmed foe. Dronah
31:52
Speaker 1: knows his sacred duty and it is wiled by heaven
31:55
Speaker 1: on high urgin or Preceptor Drona shall in this day's
31:59
Speaker 1: battle die Now the sun in crimson splendor, rolled his
32:05
Speaker 1: car of listening gold, sent his chafts of powerful radiance
32:09
Speaker 1: on the plain and mountain bold, and from elephant and churchier,
32:14
Speaker 1: from each bravely bannered car lighted male kings and chieftains
32:18
Speaker 1: and leaders of the war faced the sun with hands conjoined,
32:23
Speaker 1: and the sacred mantra told hymns by uncentry shes chanted,
32:28
Speaker 1: sanctified by birds of old worship done. Each silent warrior
32:33
Speaker 1: mounts a car or battle steeth onward to the deathful contest.
32:38
Speaker 1: Did his gallant forces lead, ilded fair wud pound the
32:42
Speaker 1: forces thought it? Drona took the field. Peer was none
32:46
Speaker 1: midst living warriors of the Brahman trained and scaled urchun
32:51
Speaker 1: Faithful to his promise, his preceptor would not fight king
32:56
Speaker 1: nor chief nor other archer dared to face his fearless mind.
33:01
Speaker 1: But old field like potent poison fires the warrior's heart
33:05
Speaker 1: with strife sire to son, still unforgotten, leaves the hate
33:10
Speaker 1: from death to life. Wrathful Princess of Panchal, by their
33:15
Speaker 1: deathless hatreds tongue soder and sent foe in Drona and
33:19
Speaker 1: on him for vengeance. Prang darkly taught, den sent warrior
33:25
Speaker 1: of the old relentless field fiercely, like a jungle tiger,
33:29
Speaker 1: fell upon the hostile brood. Royal Rupert's valiant grandsons, in
33:35
Speaker 1: their youth, untimely slain victims of a deathless discord pressed
33:39
Speaker 1: the gory battle playing Drupert, pale with grief and anger,
33:45
Speaker 1: marked his gallant grandsons dead, and his army broken rooted,
33:49
Speaker 1: and his bravest chieftains fled, filled with unforgotten hatred, and
33:54
Speaker 1: with father's grief and pride, rushed the king and bul
33:58
Speaker 1: Birad charged by doughty drooper side rose a cry of

Speaker 1: had tears and anguish for her father loved and lost,

Speaker 1: wedged a war with fearful slaughter. Drona onward oursed his
34:35
Speaker 1: way fate alone, and battles chunches changed the fortunes of
34:39
Speaker 1: the day. Asatwama, son of Drona, was a chief of
34:44
Speaker 1: peerless fame and an elephant of battle bore the chieftain's
34:48
Speaker 1: warlike name, and that proud and lordly taskar Wema in

Speaker 1: is by mighty Weema slain. Dronah heard that fatal message,
35:06
Speaker 1: bent his anguished head in pain. Speak it is dear
35:10
Speaker 1: soul of virtue. Thus the proud preceptor cried, Thou in

Speaker 1: truth hast never faltered, and the leaves have never lied.
35:19
Speaker 1: Speak of valiant Asatoma Droonah's hope and pride and joy,
35:23
Speaker 1: hath he fallen in this battle? He is he slain,
35:26
Speaker 1: my gallant boy, feeble are the hands of Dronah and
35:30
Speaker 1: his prowess quenched and gone fleecy, or his ancient tresses,
35:34
Speaker 1: and his arthly task is done. Said it is dere
35:39
Speaker 1: lordly taskar a Satama named is dead dronahard but half
35:43
Speaker 1: the accents feebly drooped his sinking head. Then the Prince

Speaker 1: of fair Panchal swiftly drove across the plain, marked his

Speaker 1: father's cruel slayer, marked his noble father slain. Twistadimiya bound
35:58
