  Book Ie Ostradshan the Tournament. The scene of the epic is the ancient kingdom
• 0:11
  of the Curus, which flourished along the upper course of the Ganges, and
• 0:16
  the historical fact on which the epic is based is a great war which took
• 0:20
  place between the Curus and the neighboring tribe the Panchals, in the thirteenth or
• 0:25
  fourteenth century before Christ. According to the epic, Pandu and Triturastri, who
• 0:31
  was born blind, were brothers. Pandu died early, and Triturastri became king
• 0:37
  of the Curus and brought up the five sons of Pandu along with his hundred
• 0:42
  sons. Yudistr, the eldest son of Pandu, was a man of truth
• 0:47
  and piety. Weim the second, was a stalwart fighter, and Urgin,
• 0:53
  the thirdsen distinguished himself above all the other princes in arms. The two youngest
• 1:00
  brothers, Nichol and Sahadeb, were twins. The Ludhan was the eldest son
• 1:04
  of Teterastra and was jealous of his cousins, the sons of Pandu. A
• 1:11
  tournament was held, and in the course of the day, a warrior named
• 1:15
  Kern of unknown origin, appeared on the scene and proved himself a wordy arrival
• 1:19
  of Urjin. The rivalry between Urgin and Kern is the leading tod of the
• 1:25
  epic, as the rivalry between Achilas and Haktor is the leading toad of the
• 1:30
  Iliad. It is only necessary to add that the sons of Pandu, as
• 1:34
  well as Kern, were, like the heroes of Homer, god born chiefs.
• 1:41
  Some God inspired the birth of each. It is there was the son
• 1:45
  of Term or Virtue, Viam of Vayu, or Wind, Urgin of Indra
• 1:51
  or Rain God. The twin youngest were the sons of the Ashen twins,
• 1:57
  and Kern was the son of Surya the Sun, but was believed by himself
• 2:01
  and by all others, to be the son of a simple chariot driver.
• 2:07
  The portion translated in this book forms sections one thirty four to one thirty seven
• 2:12
  of Book one of the original Epic in Sanskrit Calcutta Edition of eighteen thirty four.
• 2:20
  One The gathering wrathful sons of Tetracht born of Kuru's royal race, Rydia,

  the peerless Prince's five. Let the good and wise Vidour serve demanded and be
• 3:39
  haste. Let the father's pride and gladness fill this old and cheerless breast.
• 3:46
  Then the good and wise Widour, unto his duties bound drown, blessed with
• 3:53
  skill and wisdom measured out the tarny ground, clear of jungle was the meadow
• 4:00
  crystal fountain graced drawn on the lighted altar, holy gifts and offerings placed holy

  from distant town and hamlet gave to view the sacred right. Then arose white
• 4:18
  stately mansions built by architects of fame, decked with arms for cruise, monarch
• 4:25
  and for every royal dame. And the people built their stages circling around the
• 4:31
  listed green, and the nobles with their white tents, grased afair and festive
• 4:36
  scene brightly dawned the festal morning, and the monarch left his hall, Fishma

  queens of heavenly gods ascend, and the people of the city Brahman Specius
• 5:28
  Shatriya's old man from stall and lumen anvil gathered thick the young and old,
• 5:35
  and arose the sound of trumpet and the surging people's cry like the voice of

  angry ocean tempest, slashed, sublime and high. Came the saintly white robe
• 5:47
  Drouna white, his sacrificial tread whiteyt central mark and garlands white, the locks
• 5:54
  that crowned his head with his son, renowned for valor, forthrown radiant high.
• 6:02
  So the movement Mars conjured walks upon the cloudless sky, offerings to the
• 6:09
  guards immortal. Then the priestly warrior Maide Brahmans with their chanted mantra worship and
• 6:15
  obeisance pade and the festive note of sunk mingled with a trumpet sound. Trunks
• 6:23
  of warriors various armed came under the listed ground. Two, the princess count
• 6:35

  quivers and their swords like wreaths of wain, each behind his elder stepping could

  crowds in troal, and the man in admiration marked them joyful eye or by

• 7:31
  driven mingled voice of tens of thousands struck the pealing vault of heaven.
• 7:39
  Still, the princess shook their weapons, drove the deep, resounding car or

  on stead or tusker mounted, waisted the glorious mimic war, mighty sword and
• 7:50
  ample butler, ponderous mazed the Prince's wield brightly gleamed, their lightning rapiers as
• 7:57
  deranged a listed field, brave and fearless in their action and their movement,

  quick and light, skilled, and through the trust and parry of their weapons,
• 8:09
  flaming bright tree weam and Duruden weam cape and proud Duruden, with their

  masses held on high like the cliffs, with lofty turrets cleaving through the azure
• 8:26
  sky in their warlike arms, a cartret with their guarded lines distooed, liked
• 8:33
  to untame the jungle tuskers in the deep and echoing ode. And as tasks

  ranged the forest, so they arranged the spacious field right, the left and
• 8:45
  back the wander, and their ponderous masses wailed unto Koru's sightless monarch wise Videor
• 8:52
  drew the scene. Prita, proudly of the princess, spake unto the Koru
• 8:58
  Queen, while the stalwart weam battle to Dududan, brave and strong, fierce
• 9:05
  in wrath for one or other, shouted forth the maddened trow, Hail to
• 9:11
  kuruprince do Luthan, Hail to weam hero. Proud sounds like these from surging
• 9:16
  myriads rose in tumult, deep and loud, and with troubled vision. Joan
• 9:24
  marked the heaving, restless plain, marked the crowd by anger, shaken like
• 9:28
  the tempest, shaken Mane to his son, then whispered Drone quaked the tumult
• 9:35
  to appease, parted the armed and angry wrestlers bid the deadly combat seas with
• 9:43
  their lifted clubs. The princess slowly tired on signal given like the parting of
• 9:48
  the bellows, mighty heaving tempest driven came forth. Then the ancient Jonah on
• 9:54
  the open battleground stopped the jump, and lofty trumpet, speaking voice like thunder
• 10:01
  sound, bade him come. The gallant Urgin, pious Prince and warriors scaled
• 10:09
  Urgent, born of mighty Indra, and with business pros field four the advent

  forward, proud and stealy in his golden mail and caste like the sunlit cloud
• 10:35
  of evening, With the golden rainbow grazed and the gladness steerred the people all
• 10:43
  around the listed plane voice of drum and blare of trumpet rose with Sunkha's festive
• 10:50
  strain. Mark the gallant son of Pandu, whom the happy Breta wore.
• 10:56
  Mark the heir of Indra's veller, matchless in his eyes, arms and lore,
• 11:01
  Mark the warrior, young and vaaliant, peerless in his scale of arms,
• 11:07
  Mark the pure, souled, pious Chieftaine deacted grace and varied charms.
• 11:13
  Pritta heard such grateful voices, borne aloft unto the sky. The milk of
• 11:20
  love suffused her bosom. Tear of joy was in her eye, and who
• 11:24
  arrested Kuru's monarch. Joyous accents struck his ear, and he turned to wise
• 11:30
  wideur, seeking for the cause to hear. Wherefore, like the voice of
• 11:35
  ocean, when the tempedes twins, Prevail raised these voices of the people,
• 11:41
  and the specios skies, Assail answered him. The wise videour. It is
• 11:46
  prettiest gallant boy, godlike moves in golden armor, and the people shout for

  joy. Please them. I so speak the monarch, and I bless my
• 11:58
  happy faith. Prita's son, like fires of Yega sanctified his mighty state.
• 12:05
  Now the voices of the people died away, and all was steel urgent to
• 12:09
  his proud preceptor showed his might and matchless skill, towering high or lowly,
• 12:16
  bending on the turf or on his car with his bow and glistening arrows.
• 12:22
  Urgent waised the mimic war targets on the wide arena, mighty tough for wondrous
• 12:28
  small With his arrows bright on failing, Urgent pierced them one and all.
• 12:35
  Wild boar shaped of solid iron, caused a wide, extending field in its
• 12:41
  jaws. Five glistening arrows sent the archer wondrous keeled cow horn by a tread
• 12:46
  suspended was by winds, unseizing swedes one and twenty well lamed arrows. On
• 12:52
  this moving mark he laid and diet equal skill. His rapier did the god
• 12:58
  like urgin wild whirling round. His maze of battle ranged a specious thorny field.
• 13:07
  Five the advance of Kern. Now the feats of arm are ended,
• 13:15
  and the closing hour draws nigh. Music's voices hushed in silence and dispersing crowds
• 13:20
  pass by, hark like vulcan shaking thunder wakes a deep and deadly sound.
• 13:28
  Clank, and dean of warlike weapons burst upon the tanted ground. Are the
• 13:35
  solid mountain splitting? Is it bursting off the art? Is it tempest spelling
• 13:39
  accent? Whence the lightning takes its part? Thoughts like these alarm the people,
• 13:46
  for the sound is dread and high. To the gate of the Dirhna
• 13:50
  turns the crowd with anxious eye, gathered round Preceptor Drona, ponder suns in
• 13:58
  armor bright like the five starred constellation, round the radiant Queen of Night,

  Gathered round the proud du Youthen, dreaded for his exploits, done all his

  brave and warlike brothers, and Preceptor Drona's son. So the gods Encircledindra thunder

  wielding fears and bold when he scattered, done with children in the misty days
• 14:24
  of old pale before the unknown warrior gathered nations part in Twain, conqueror of

  hostile cities. Lofty Carrn dreads the plain in his golden male aqrdred and his
• 14:39
  rings of yellow gold like a moving clifflind stature, armed, comes the Chieftaine,
• 14:45
  bold Pritha, yet unwedded bore him pureless archer on the art portion of
• 14:52
  the solar radiance, for the sun inspired his bird like a tuskar in his
• 15:00
  theory, like a lion in his ear, like the sun in untide radiance,
• 15:05
  like the all consuming fire, lion like in build and muscle stately as

  with his looks serene and lofty feel the war the chief surveyed scarce to

  creep our authodrona honor and obeisiance made still the panic stricken people who viewed him
• 15:33
  with unmoving gage. Who may be this unknown warrior? Questioned Day in harsh
• 15:39
  damaze. Dune, in voice of pealing thunder, spake Fair Pritta's eldest son,
• 15:46
  Unturton, Pretta's youngest. He tell us, to each unknown, all
• 15:54
  their feats of weapons are jean done it vain and needless. Boast these and

  Prince of fame, be a joy unto your comrades. Let the foreman dread

  bent his humble head in shame. Prince Urakan cried the Rudan, not the

• 21:18
  chief, we won Kern by his warlike valor is of crowned kings. To

  but ill befit the warlike tiger, rested chief, proudest chief may fight the
• 24:45
  humblest, for like Reaver's noble course, noble deeds proclaimed a warrior, and
• 24:49
  we question not their sores. Teacher, drone, prist and warrior owns a
• 24:56
  poor and humble birt creeper, noblest of God Thom. Spring it from the
• 25:00
  lowly art known to me, thy line in his beam dying, and of

  thy brother's fork. Amorous gods, your bart inspired, so they say,
• 25:11
  in days of yore, mark'd a great and gallant carn tacked in rings and
• 25:17
  weapons. Fair she dear breeds, not lordly tigers. In her poor and
• 25:22
  lowly lair. Kurn comes to rule the wide art, not fair ungle's dreams
• 25:27
  alone, by his valor and his weapons, by the homage which I own

• 25:38
  him take his bow and quiver meet me in a deadly fray. Loud applauses
• 25:45
  greet the challenge and the people's joyful cry. But the thickening shades of darkness
• 25:49
  filled art and evening sky, and the red Lamb's fitful lusher shone upon the
• 25:57
  field around slowly with the peerless Karn proud Douryuthan left the ground. Pondo's son

• 26:18
  valiant Kern as one the day, Prince Douruthan is the winner. Various does
• 26:25
  the people say by some secret sign a prized Briton knew her gallant boy saw
• 26:32

• 26:38
  fastened Kurne to his side, feared no longer Urgin's proise Urgin's skills of arms

  and pride. Even Judisti reckoned Kern mighty warrior on the earth half misdoubted Urgin's
• 26:52
  proise urgin skill and warlike world. And of book one, Book two,
• 27:03
  Soyumber the bride's choice. The mutual jealousies of the princess increased from day to
• 27:10
  day, and when he dested, the eldest of all the princes and the

• 27:19
  do Ruthan and his brothers knew no bounds, and they formed a dark scheme
• 27:25
  to kill the sons of Pandu. The sons of Pandu were induced with their
• 27:29
  mother to pay a visit to a distant town called val Nawad. A house
• 27:34
  had been built there for their residents, constructed of inflammable materials. At the
• 27:41
  appointed time, fire was set to the house, but the five brothers and
• 27:45
  their mother escaped the conflagration through a subterranean passage, retired into forests and lived
• 27:52

• 33:13
  longed to give his daughter peerless in her maiden grace and the mossy wood and
• 33:20
  bending. Droupert made a stubborn bow, saving urgent prince or chieftain might not
• 33:25
  bend the weapon low, and he made the whirling discus, hung it beneath
• 33:31
  the open sky, and beyond the whirling discus placed a target far and high.
• 33:38
  Who strings this bow? Said Rupert, hid the target in his bride
• 33:44
  through the high, uncircling discus, Who in Spancharl's princely bride? And they
• 33:50

  Not a festal day approached, gathering man with Olsen's voice filled the wide and

  Himalaya's wooded side. Each his rival marks as foreman as in field of deadly

  breathe like wild taskars for a lotus, like the fire that ashes hide,
• 41:49
  and they knew the warlike brothers in their holy Brahman guys pointed them to baladeb
• 41:54
  gazing with a glad surprise. But the other chiefs and monarchs, with their
• 42:00
  eyes upon the bride marked nor new The sons of Pandu, sitting speechless by
• 42:06
  their side, and the long armed sons of Pandu, smitten by Condorpu's dart,
• 42:14
  looked on her with longing languor and with loving passioned heart. Bright models
• 42:20
  gaily crowding viewed the scene surpassing fair heavenly blosoms of descending with the perfume filled
• 42:27
  the air, bright, silely still, cars in concourse sailed upon the cloudless
• 42:32
  sky. Gumman flute and hop and tabor sounded deep and sounded high. Five
• 42:42
  trial of skill aproch one by one, the sweeters marking steel, the distant
• 42:47
  aim, mighty monarchs, gallant princes, chiefs of proud and warlike fame,
• 42:54
  decked in golden crown and necklace, uninflamed by pride and love, stoutly strove
• 43:00
  the eager sweaters, viewing all the target above, strove to string the weapon,
• 43:07
  vainly to unbending was the bow slightly bent, rebounding quickly laid the gallant
• 43:14
  princess low strove the handsome sweeters, vainly daked in jam and barnished gold raft
• 43:21
  of diadam and necklace fell its chief and warrior, bold raft of golden crown
• 43:28
  and garland. Shamed and humbled in their pride, groaned, the sweeters,
• 43:31
  in their anguish, sought no more. Pancharle's bride, a ro's kern,
• 43:37
  peerless archer, proudest of the archer's he and he went then strung the weapon,
• 43:44
  fixed the arrows gallantly stood like Suria in his plundor, and like Augne
• 43:50
  in his flame. Ponder's sons in terror, whispered carn sure must hit the

  aim, but in proud and queenly accents, Rupert's quillly doped, said Monarch's
• 44:00
  daughter Bornikshetria, Southa's son, I will not wedd kurn Hart at crimson forehead
• 44:08
  left the emprise almost done, left, the bow already circled, silent,
• 44:14
  gazed upon the sun approse Jade's Hafty monarch, mightiest of the monarchs he other
• 44:22
  kings had failing glorious Sizopal stood forth free, farming hard and fixed in papose,
• 44:29
  banded of unbanding bow vainly for the boar bounding. Laid the hafty monarch
• 44:34
  low apros study Jardacunde far Margot's mighty chief Haltabou, and stood undaunted, tall
• 44:43
  and stately as a leave. But once more the boar bounded fell the monarch
• 44:49
  in his same left in haste Panchal's mansions for the region. Whence he came
• 44:55
  our Prosla, king of Mardra, with his wondrous skill and might, faltering
• 45:00
  on his knees, descending fell instead in glorious plight. Thus each monarch fell
• 45:07
  and faltered Mary, whose spurs went around, and the sound of stifful laughter
• 45:13
  circled round the festive ground. Six the disguised urgent hushed the merry sound of
• 45:22
  laughter hastes suitor in his shame. Urgent, godlike son of Pitha, from
• 45:29
  the ranks of Brahman's came GUIs, dispressed, serene and holy, fair as
• 45:35
  Indra's rainbow bright. All the Brahmins shook their deer skins cheered him in their
• 45:40
  heart's delight. Some there where its sad misgivings, heard the sound of joyous
• 45:46
  cheer, and their minds were strangely anxious, whispered Mama Speck, dear fear
• 45:53
  wondrous bow which sisupal my desilia could not strain jarassuned, fail for prowess strove
• 46:00
  to bend the string in vain canne Brahman, weak by nature and in warlike
• 46:07
  arms, untrained, wilt a bow which crowned monarchs long our chieftains have not
• 46:12
  strained. Sure the Brahmin boy in folly, dere's a foolish, thoughtless teeth
• 46:20
  shame emidst the strong of monarchs. Shall it be the brahmin's mead youth in
• 46:24
  youthful pride or madness. Will a fully samprised there sasor man should stop his
• 46:30
  rashness, and a brahmin's honor's pair shame. He will not bring unto us
• 46:37
  Other brahmins made reply. Rather, in the strong of monarchs, rich,
• 46:42
  renowned and honor high like a tusker, strong and stately like Himalaya's touring crest,
• 46:50
  stands unmoved. The youthful brahmin, ample shouldered deep in chest land like
• 46:55
  his kit, is agile and determine. This is a trust me he can
• 47:00
  do an emprise who had lovedy will to dare he will do. The feat
• 47:06
  of valor will not bring disgrace and stain. Nor is task in all this
• 47:12
  wide art which a brahmin tries in vain holy man subsist on wild fruits,
• 47:17
  in the strength of pan of strong spare in form in spirit. Might hear
• 47:22
  tan the mightiest warlike trom asks not if it is right or foolish. When
• 47:29
  a brahmin tries his faith, if it leads to woe or glory, fatal
• 47:32
  fall or fortune, Great son of Rizzi Jamodagami waffled kings and chieftains high and
• 47:39
  Augustius stainless rishy drained the boundless ocean dry. Let this young and daring Brahman
• 47:46
  undertake the warlike deed. Let him try and by his prowess in the victor's
• 47:52
  noble mead. While the Brahmans deep, evolving hopes and timid fears express by
• 48:00
  the boat, the youthful Urchin stood unmoved, like mountain crest, silent round
• 48:07
  the wondrous weapon tries the mighty warrior wind to the Lord of Gods is Sana,
• 48:15
  in a silent prayer. He bentned. Then the bow which gathered warriors
• 48:20
  vainly tried to bend and strain, and the monarchs of the wide art sought
• 48:24
  to string and wield in vain godlike Urgin born of Indra, filled with Vishnu's
• 48:31
  matchless might, bent a wondrous bow of rupert fixed. The shining dots arrived
• 48:38
  through the disk. The signing arrows fly with strange and hissing sound, heat
• 48:43
  and pierced the distant target, bring it thundering on the ground. Shouts of
• 48:49
  joy and loud applauses did the mighty feet declare heavenly blossoms of descended heavenly music
• 48:55
  trilled the air, and the Brahmins shook their dear schemes, but each irritated
• 49:01
  Chief in a lowly muttered whisper, spake his rising rays, and grief sunk
• 49:07
  his note and voice of trumpet. Urgun's glorious deed prolong birds and heralds chanted
• 49:15
  his praises in a proud and deathless song. Drupert in the Brahman's mantle knew
• 49:22
  the hero proud and brave against the rage of beaffeled suitors, sought the gallant
• 49:27
  prince to save with his twin born youngest brothers left jidisty peaceful good we marked
• 49:35
  the gathering tempest, and by gallant Urgent stood like a queen. The beauteous
• 49:40
  maiden smiled upon the archer, brave, flung on him the bridal garland and
• 49:45
  the bridal robe. She gave Urgin by his skill and prayers. One Punchall's
• 49:52
  princess bride. People shouts, and Brahman's blessings sounded joyful far and wide.
• 50:01
  Seven the tumult spake the suitters anger shaken like a forest, tempest torn as
• 50:12
  Bancho's courteous monarch came to greet a Brahman born. Shall he, like the
• 50:16
  grass of jungle trample us in hofty pride, prepratting prist and Brahman wed the
• 50:22
  proud and peerless bride to our hopes like nourished sapling. Shall he now the
• 50:29
  fruit deny monarch proud who insults monarchs? She aw a traitor's that shall die
• 50:36
  honor for his rank we know not have no mercy for his age, perish
• 50:40
  foe of crowned monarchs, victim to our righteous rage. Hath he axed us
• 50:46
  to his palace, favored us with royal grace, visited us with princely bounty,
• 50:52
  but to compass our disgrace and dis conquers of great monarchs glorious like a
• 50:59
  heavenly and doth he find no lightly sweeter for his beauteous daughter's hand, And
• 51:06
  this right of cyber sore sacred laws obtain. He is for warlecksha trias only
• 51:12
  priests, that customs shall not stain. If this maiden onibrapen casts her eye
• 51:19
  devoid of shame, let her expee at her folly in a pyre of blazing
• 51:22
  flame, leaved a pristling in his folly sinning tree Brahmin's greed. For we
• 51:30
  wage no word Brahmins, and forgive a foolish deed. But she war to
• 51:36
  holy Brahmins, for our realm and wealth and life. Blood of prist or
• 51:39
  wise Preceptor shall not stain our noble strife in the blood of sinful Drupet.
• 51:46
  We the righteous laws maintain such disgrace in future ages. Monarchs shall of meat
• 51:52
  again speak the Sweeter's tiger, hearted, iron handed, bold and strong,
• 52:00
  fiercely bent on blood and vengeance, blindly rose the maddened tron On they came,
• 52:06
  the angry monarchs, armed for cruel, vengeful strife. Drupert miidst the
• 52:10
  Holy Brahmins, trembling, fled for fear of life, like wild elephants of
• 52:16
  jungle, rushed the kings upon their foes. Calm and stately, stalwart Viam
• 52:22
  and the gallant Urgent rose with a wilder rage. The monarchs viewed these brothers,
• 52:29
  crossed their path, rushed upon the daring warriors, for to slay them
• 52:32
  in their red weaponless was noble Vim, but in strength like Lightning's brand,
• 52:40
  tore a tree with peerless prowse shook it as a mighty end, and the
• 52:45
  full compelling warrior held the maze of living ool, strong as death, with
• 52:51
  deadly weapons, facing all his foes. He stood urgent too, which godlike
• 52:57
  valor stood unmold, his bow in hand. Side by side, the dauntless
• 53:01
  brothers faced the fierce and fiery band. Eight Krishna to the rescue. Krishna
• 53:14
  knew the sons of Pandu, though in robes of Brahmans, dressed to his
• 53:19
  elder baldave. Thus his inner thoughts expressed marked at yot with bow and arrow
• 53:24
  and with lion's lordly gate. He is Helmut wearing urgent. Greatest warrior meets
• 53:30
  the great mark his mate with three uprooted how emits the sweeter band save the
• 53:37
  tiger rested wham. None can claim such strength of hand, and the youth
• 53:43
  with eyes like Lotus, he who left the court ruhile he is pious soldidistyr
• 53:49
  man without a sin or guile, and the others by idistr Pando's twin born
• 53:54
  sons. A day with his sons, darighte Sprita escaped death and danger lay
• 54:01
  for the jealous, fierce do Juthan darkly skimmed their death by fire, but
• 54:07
  the righteous son Sapandu escaped his unrelenting eye. Christna rose amidst the monarchs,
• 54:15
  strove the tumult to appease, and unto the angry suitors, spake in words
• 54:20
  of righteous peace. Monarchs bowed to Krishna's mandate, left Pancharl's festive land.
• 54:29
  Urgent took the beauteous princess, gently laid her by the hand, and of
• 54:37
  book two, Book three Rajasuir the Imperial Sacrifice. A curious incident followed the
• 54:47
  bridle of Dropady. The five sons Sapandu returned with her to the potter's house,
• 54:53
  where they were living on alms according to the custom of Brahman's and the
• 54:59
  brothers reported to their mother that they had received a great gift on that day
• 55:05
  and joye the gift in common, replied their mother, not knowing what it
• 55:09
  was, and as the mother's meant that it cannot be disregarded, Dropad became
• 55:15
  the common wife after five brothers. The real significance of this strange lism is
• 55:21
  unknown. The custom of brothers marrying a common wife prevails to this day in
• 55:25
  Tibet and among the hill tribes of the Himalayas, but it never prevailed among
• 55:30
  the Aryan Hindus of India. It is distinctly prohibited in their laws and institutes,
• 55:37
  and finds no sanction in their literature ancient or modern. The lezend in
• 55:42
  the Mahavadad of brothers marrying a wife in common stands alone and without a parallel
• 55:47
  in Hindu traditions and literature. Judging from the main incidence of the epic,
• 55:53
  Dropade might rather be regarded as the wife of the eldest brother Yudister Wema had
• 56:00
  already madd himself to a female in a forest, by whom he had a
• 56:02
  son, Kathodkuch, who distinguished himself in war. Later on, Arjin too
• 56:09
  married the sister of Krishna shortly after Dropadi's bridle, and had by her a
• 56:15
  son, a Vimenu, who was one of the heroes of the war.
• 56:19
  On the other hand, yidishtyrituk to himself no wife save Dropathy, as he
• 56:23
  was crowned to Judistr in the Ajesua or Imperial Sacrifice. Notwithstanding the leason.
• 56:30
  Therefore, Dropody might be regarded as wedded to Jutistir, though won by the
• 56:35
  scale of Urjin, and this assumption would be in keeping within the customs and
• 56:39
  laws ancient and modern. The jealous Didudan heard that his contrivance to kill his
• 56:45
  cousins at Valnabad had failed. He also heard that they had found a powerful
• 56:51
  friend in Dropad and had formed an alliance with him. It was no longer
• 56:55
  possible to keep them from their rightful inheritance. The poor kingdom was accordingly powerceledd
• 57:01
  Urutan retained the eastern and richer portion with its ancient capital as Sinopur and the
• 57:07
  Ganges, and the sons Sapandu were given the western portion of the Germanah,
• 57:13
  which was dan A forest and the wilderness the Sun. Sapandu cleared the forest
• 57:19
  and built a new capital in repressed, the supposed ruins of which near modern
• 57:23
  Delhi are still pointed out to the curious traveler Yodistir. The eldest of the
• 57:30
  five sons, Sapandu, now king of Interpressed, resolved to perform the Rajasuya
• 57:35
  sacrifice, which was a formal assumption of the imperial title over all the kings
• 57:39
  of ancient India. His brothers went out with troops in all directions to proclaim
• 57:45
  his supremacy over all surrounding kings. Jeacanth, the powerful and semi civilized king
• 57:52
  of magad or South Beihar, opposed and was killed, but other monarchs recognized
• 57:58
  the supremacy of Judis and came to the sacrifice which tributes. King Tritashtra and
• 58:04
  his sons, now reigning at Hastinapur, were politely invited to take a share
• 58:08
  in the performance of the sacrifice. The potion translated in this book forms sections
• 58:15
  thirty three to thirty six and section forty four of book two of the original
• 58:22
  one. The assemblage of Kings ancient halls of Praudhastna mirrored bright on Gangha's wave.
• 58:32
  Detre came, the son of Pandu Young Nakol, true and brave,
• 58:37
  came to ask Astina's monarch, chief of Kuru's royal race, to party in
• 58:43
  is jus banquet and his sacrifice to grace. Tretashtra came in gladness unto Drapresta's
• 58:50
  town, marked its noble tower and turret on the edge. Yur Yeomna Fraun
• 58:55
  with him came preceptor of Kripa. The ancient Vishima Cai elders of the race
• 59:00
  of Kuru chiefs and Brahmans known to fame. Monarchs came from distant regions to
• 59:07
  party the holy riot. Warlike chiefs from court and castle in the arms a
• 59:13
  cortrad bride Shatriyas came with ample tribute for the holy sacrifice, pressous gems and
• 59:20
  costly jewels, golden gifts of untold prize. Proud Durudan and his brothers came
• 59:27
  in fair and friendly guise with the ancient Kuru monarch and Thedur good and wise
• 59:35
  with his son came Brave Subal from Gandhar's distant land. Carbon Celia Pierliskirn came

  All these kings were god incarnate portions of celestial light, and he saw

  Unto these is due the Arguer. So our holy reeds have said. Therefore

• 1:09:19
  Pondering, spake the ancient Vishma in his accents, deep and clear,
• 1:09:26
  greatest midst, the great is Krishna, chief of man without appear, meets
• 1:09:31
  these monarchs, pure in lustre, purest heart than most high, like the

  Thau O Vishma, that subduer surely might precedents claim unto Krishna for his

  surely might contest the field. Great Duryathan, mister princess stands alone without

  Formo's chief is he six sisufars fall tiger hearted Sizupal speak in anger, stam

  and hi calm unto him. Chrishna answered, but light was in his eye,
• 1:13:11
  least o chiefs and righteous monarchs from a daughter of our race, evil
• 1:13:16
  distance, Sizupal doth his noble lineus trays spite of wrong and frequent outrage,
• 1:13:24
  spite of insult, often flung. Never in his heart had Krishna sought to
• 1:13:30
  do his Kinsmandra. Once I went to eastern regions, Sisupal like a foe
• 1:13:36
  burnt my far famed sipot Dwarka laid damat and temple low. Once on Voja's
• 1:13:44
  trusting monarch, faithless Sisupal fell, slew his men and threw him captive in
• 1:13:49
  his castle's dungeon cell. Once for hol A Samed Wassudev sent his teeth.
• 1:13:57
  Sizopal stole the judger so stop the righteous deed. Once on saintly Bavru's concert,
• 1:14:04
  pious, hearted, pure and just, Sisupal fell in madness, forced
• 1:14:09
  the lady to his last. Once Bissal's beauteous princess went to seek her husband's
• 1:14:15
  side. In her husband's garb, disguised, Sisophal clapped the bride. This
• 1:14:21
  and more had Krishna suffered for his mother is our king. But the sickening
• 1:14:28
  tailor pellet, and he added, seemed to see one more tale of sin
• 1:14:33
  I mentioned by his imperious passion fired to my saintly wife Rukmini. Sizopal had
• 1:14:41
  aspired as the low borne seeks the bada, soiling it with impure breath.
• 1:14:46
  Sisupal sought my concert, and his righteous doom is dead. Krishna spake.
• 1:14:54
  The rising red blood speaks each angry hero's shame shame for Chad's in PA's actions
• 1:15:00
  grief for Sisupal's fame. Loudly loved proud Sisupal spake with a bitter taunt,
• 1:15:08
  and Jier answered Christia's lofty manus with disdain and cruel sneer. Wherefore, and
• 1:15:15
  this vast assembly does proclaim thy tale of shame. If thy wedded wife and
• 1:15:20
  consort did inspire my full flame, doth a man of sense and honor blessed
• 1:15:27
  her to wisdom? And with pride does proclaim his wedded concert was Anaer's loving
• 1:15:31
  bride. Do divorced, or if by anger or by weak forbearance led Sisupal
• 1:15:39
  seeks no mercy, Not doth Christna's anger dread lowered Christna's eye and forehead,
• 1:15:46
  and unto his hands there came fatal disk, the dread of sinners, disk
• 1:15:51
  that never missed its aim. Monarchs in this hall assembled Krishna, in his
• 1:15:59
  anger, cried after had Jadeus in pierce Monarch Krishna's noble raised the fire fond
• 1:16:05
  to his pious murder, plighted ward and trot was given Sizophal's hundred follies would
• 1:16:12
  by Krishna before given. I have kept a plighted promise, But his crimes
• 1:16:16
  exceeded the tale, and beneath this mangeful weapon, Sizopal now shall quail.
• 1:16:24
  Then the bright and whiling discuss as dis mandate, Krishna said, fell on
• 1:16:29
  in pier Sizopal from his body, smote his head, felt the mighty armed
• 1:16:34
  monarch like a thunder or even rock severed from the parent mountain by the ball's
• 1:16:40
  restless shook, and his soul be cleaned or passions came forth from its mortal
• 1:16:46
  shroud like a radiant sun in splendor from a dark and mantling cloud. Unto
• 1:16:54
  Krishna, gold and gracious, like a leerid sparga flame chestened of its scene
• 1:16:59
  and anger, Sisipal's spirit came reindecence, incopious torrents quickly relightnings fly, and
• 1:17:08
  a wide out feels a chammer. Restless hunters shake the sky. Various feelings
• 1:17:15
  await the Monarch's as they stand in harsh damaze mutely in those speechless moments on
• 1:17:20
  the life lace warrior cage. Some there are who seek their weapons, and
• 1:17:27
  their nervous fingers shake, and their lips they bite in anger, and their
• 1:17:31
  frames in tram or quake. Others in their inmost bosom welcome Christna's riteous deed
• 1:17:39
  look on that of Sisuphal as a sinner's proper mead Rashiz blazed the deed of
• 1:17:45
  Krishna. As they went their various ways. Brahman's pure and pious hearted chander
• 1:17:50
  righteous Christna's praise sad it is tear gentle hearted. Thus, unto his brother's
• 1:17:58
  said funeral rites and regal honors be performed unto the dead tediously. His faithful
• 1:18:05
  brothers then performed each pious rite honors due to Jady's monarch, to his rank
• 1:18:12
  and peerless mind Sissopoul's son deceded in his mighty father's place, and which holy
• 1:18:18
  Avyshaikh hailed him king of Jady's race. Seven yid ish Tyr Emperor thus removed
• 1:18:30
  the helpless Hindrance. Now the holy sacrifice was performed as joyant splendor and with
• 1:18:36
  gifts of golden rise. God like Krishna watched benignly with his bow and diskan
• 1:18:43
  maze, and it distill close the fisting with his kindliness and grace. Brahman
• 1:18:49
  sprinkled holy water on the empire's riteous lord. All the monarch's made of aisance,
• 1:18:56
  speaking sweet and graceful word born of race of Azimada, thou hast spread

  Christma's sister, ever dear, then it trites some due ablutions to the gods
• 1:22:19
  are offerings made. Christs repeat their benedictions for the righteous Christmas said, and
• 1:22:27
  his faithful chariot driver brings his falcon bannered car like the clouds, in massive
• 1:22:32
  splendor and resistless in the war. Pious Christner mounts the chariot, fondly,

  greets his friends, once more leaves blue Gemunah's sacred waters for his Dwarker's dear

• 1:23:00
  stopped once more his chariot and his parting blazing scafe. Thus the Chief,
• 1:23:05
  with eyes of Lotus, spake in accents, calm and brave king of man,
• 1:23:12
  with sleepless watching. Ever god thy kingdom flare like a father, tend
• 1:23:17
  thy subjects with a father's love and care. Be unto them, like the

• 1:23:27
  shading them from heat. Around like the blue sky, ever banding be
• 1:23:32
  unto them. Everkind, free from pride and free from passion, ruled them
• 1:23:39
  with a virtuous mind, spake and left the saintly Krishna, pure and pious
• 1:23:45
  hearted chief said it. His cheer wended homeward, and his heart was filled
• 1:23:51
  with grief. And of Book three, Book four, Dude, the fellow
• 1:24:00
  Dirudan came back from the imperial sacrifice, feeled duty jealousy against Ittistir, and
• 1:24:06
  devised plans to effect his fall. Sakuni, Prince of Gandhar, shared Deludhan's
• 1:24:12
  hatred towards the sons of Pandu and helped him in his dark scheme. It
• 1:24:16
  is here with all his piety and righteousness had one weakness, the love of
• 1:24:20
  gambling, which was one of the visiting scenes of the monarchs of the day.
• 1:24:25
  Sakuni was an expert at false dyes, and the challenged to Tishtir,
• 1:24:29
  and it is here held it a point of honor not to decline such a
• 1:24:31
  challenge. He came from his new capital in Repressed to Hastinapur, the capital
• 1:24:38
  of Dourudan, with his mother and brothers and robody, and as it is
• 1:24:42
  still lost, came after game. He was stung with his losses, and
• 1:24:45
  with the recklessness of a gambler, still went on with the feral game.
• 1:24:49
  His wealth and holded gold and jewels, his teeds, elephants and cars,
• 1:24:54
  his slaves male and female, his empire and positions were all staked and lost.
• 1:25:00
  The madness increased, and it is their stacked his brothers and then himself,
• 1:25:04
  and then the fair droperty had lost. And thus the Emperor of Interpress
• 1:25:10
  and his family were deprived of every position on art and became the bond slaves
• 1:25:15
  of Durudhan. The old king Detastri released them from actuous slavery, but the
• 1:25:19
  five brothers retired to forests as homeless exiles. Portions of section sixty five and

• 1:27:10
  Take my vote to Prince de Luthan. Queen Jopedy is on one.
• 1:27:14
  Wrathful was the proud Douruthan when he heard the answer bold to his younger.
• 1:27:18
  While Dusassan this, his angry mandate told, little minded is the menial,

  and his heart in terror fails for the fear of wrathful wem Lo his coward

• 1:29:02
  feared no more the suns of Pandu, nor their vengeance. Fierce and keen
• 1:29:09
  dragged her in her sleeping garments by her long and trailing hair, and like

  sapling tempest shakem wept and shook, the trembling, fair stooping in her shape

• 1:49:12
  jungle, torned their steps with Peter's sigh. Koru daimes with fainting Pritha to
• 1:49:17
  Viidu's palace. High Koru queens for whiping Pritha raised their voice in answering cry,
• 1:49:25
  Koru maids forfair Dropody, Fortune's fearful will upbraid, and their tear yued

• 1:49:45
  End of Book four. Book five Patipre Tamahati woman's love true to the
• 1:49:54
  world. The sons of Pandu went to Dropody into exile and past twelve years
• 1:49:59
  in the wilderness, and many were the incidents which checkered their forest life.
• 1:50:03
  Krishna, who had stood by Astor in his prosperity, now came to visit
• 1:50:08
  him in his adversity. He counseled Dropady in her distress and gave good advice
• 1:50:13
  to the brothers. Dropardy, with a woman's pride and anger, still thought
• 1:50:16
  of her wrongs and insults, and Argidtistyr to disregard the conditions of exile and
• 1:50:21
  recover his kingdom. Viim too was of the same mind, but it Istre
• 1:50:26
  would not be moved from his plighted Ward, the great Recivias came to Visitedistyr
• 1:50:31
  and advised Arjin great Archer, as he was to acquire celestial arms by penance
• 1:50:36
  and worship. Arjin followed the advice, met the Godziba in the guise of
• 1:50:41
  a hunter, pleased him by his praise in combat, and obtained his blessings
• 1:50:45
  and the Passopato weapon. Arjin then went to Indras heaven and obtained other celestial
• 1:50:50
  arms in the Meanwhile, Douryutan, not content with sending his cousins to exile,
• 1:50:57
  wished to humiliate them still more by eppi hearing before them in all his
• 1:51:00
  regal power and splendor. Matters, however, turned out differently from what he
• 1:51:05
  expected, and he became involved in a quarrel with some gun herbs, a
• 1:51:10
  class of aerial beings. Diliutan was taken captive by them, and it was
• 1:51:14
  the Ponda brothers who released him from his captivity and allowed him to return to
• 1:51:18
  his kingdom in peace. This act of generosity rankled in his bosom and deepened
• 1:51:24
  his hat. Read Jadreth, king of Sindhu or Indus country, and a
• 1:51:30
  friend and a lie of Bludan, came to the Oods and in the absence
• 1:51:32
  of the Panda brothers carried off Dropady. The Pandabs, however, pursued the
• 1:51:38
  king, justised him for his misconduct, and rescued Dropady. Still more interesting
• 1:51:44
  than these various incidents are the tales and listens with which this book is replete.
• 1:51:48
  Great scenes came to see history in his exile and narrated to him listens
• 1:51:53
  of ancient times and of former kings. One of these beautiful episodes, the
• 1:51:58
  Tale of nal and Dament, has been translated into graceful English Wars by Dean
• 1:52:02
  Milman and is known to many English readers. The lizend of Augustia, who
• 1:52:08
  drained the ocean dry, of Parasudam, a Brahman who killed the Kshatriyas,
• 1:52:12
  of the art of Fagdit, who brought down the Ganges from the skies to
• 1:52:15
  the earth of Manu, and the universal deluge of Vishnu and various other gods
• 1:52:21
  of Rama and his deeds which formed the subject of the Epigramayana. These and
• 1:52:27
  various other lessons have been interwoven in the account of the forest life of the
• 1:52:30
  Pandevs and make it a veritable storouse of ancient Hindu tales and traditions. Among
• 1:52:36
  these various lizons and tales, I have selected one which is singular and striking.
• 1:52:42
  The great truth, proclaimed under the thin guise of an Eastern allegory,
• 1:52:45
  is that a true woman's love is not conquered by death. The story is
• 1:52:49
  known by Hindu women high and low, rich and poor, in all parts
• 1:52:54
  of India, and on a certain night in the year, millions of Hindu
• 1:52:57
  women celebrated rite in honor of the woman whose love was not conquered by death.
• 1:53:02
  Lizends like these, though they take away from the unity and consciousness of
• 1:53:06
  the epic, impart a moral instruction to the millions of India, the value
• 1:53:11
  of which cannot be overestimated. The portion translated in this book form sections two
• 1:53:15
  ninety two and two ninety three, a part of section two ninety four,
• 1:53:20
  and sections two ninety five and two ninety six of book three of the original
• 1:53:25
  text one forest life in the dark and pathless forest longed upon the broader strait
• 1:53:34
  in the bosom of the jungle with a fair drop of the staid, and
• 1:53:39
  they killed the forest. Red deer hewed the gnarled forest wood from the streams
• 1:53:45
  she fetched the water, cooked the humble daily food. In the morn she
• 1:53:49
  swept the cottage lit the cheerful fire at eve, but at night, in
• 1:53:54
  lonesome silence of the Roman's heart would grieve. Insults rankled in her bosom,
• 1:54:00
  and her tresses were unbound. So she vowed till fitting vengeance. Had the
• 1:54:04
  bays insalters found oft When evening Sage descended, mantling over the wood and lee
• 1:54:12
  when Dropody by the cottage cooked the food beneath the tree. Riche's came to
• 1:54:16

  lizens of our ancient sires Mark and DEEA holy RICHI once unto it Istr came

  when his heart was sorrow hidden with the memories of his shame. Pardon Ricchi
• 1:54:33
  said it isture. If unbidden tears will start. But the woods of fair
• 1:54:38
  Dropody grieve a banished husband's heart by her tears. The saintly women broke my
• 1:54:45
  bondage worse than death. By my scenes, she suffers exile and misfortunes,
• 1:54:49
  freezing breath thust Thou says in Saint lu RICHI know of wife, are Roman
• 1:54:56
  born by such nameless sorrow? Smitten by such strange misfort. June torm Hurst,
• 1:55:01
  thou in thy ancient lesons heard of true and faithful wife with a stronger
• 1:55:05
  wife's affection with a sad a Roman's life. Listen. Monarch said, Darshi
• 1:55:13
  to a tale of ancient day, how Savitry loved and suffered, how she
• 1:55:16
  strove and conquered faith. Two the tale of Savitri. In the country of
• 1:55:26
  the Madras, lived the king in days of old, faithful to the Holy
• 1:55:30
  Brahmha, pure in heart and righteous souled. He was loved in town and
• 1:55:35
  country, in the court and Harmit's den, sacrificer to the bright God's help
• 1:55:41
  her to his brother man. But the monarch asked, Swapathi, son or
• 1:55:45
  daughter? Had he none old in ears and sunk in anguish, and his
• 1:55:49
  days were almost done? Vows took and holy penance and with pious rules conformed
• 1:55:57
  spare in diet Esbramachari. Many sacred rites performed sang the sacred hymn Savitri to
• 1:56:04
  the God's oblatians gave through the lifelong day. He passed it on, complaining
• 1:56:09
  meek and brave. Here by ear he gathered virtue, rose in merit and
• 1:56:15
  in might till the Goddess of Savitriy smiled upon his sacred ride from the fire
• 1:56:20
  upon the altar, which a holy radiance flung in the form of beauteous maiden,
• 1:56:27
  Goddess of sabatri is prong, and she spake in gentle accents, blessed
• 1:56:31
  the owner good and brave, blessed his rights and holy penance, and the
• 1:56:36
  Boon unto him gave penance and thy sacrifices. Can the power's mortal move and
• 1:56:44
  the pureness of thy conduct, doth thy heart's affection prove, asked Thay Boon,
• 1:56:48
  King of SWOPATHI from Cristans and sea and sire, true to Virtue's sacred
• 1:56:54
  mandates, speak thy most heart's desire for an offspring brave and kingly. So
• 1:57:00
  the saintly king replied, Holy rites and sacrifices, and these penance I have
• 1:57:04
  tried. If these rites and sacrifices move thy favor and I grace, grant
• 1:57:11
  me offspring, prayer, Maiden wordy of my noble rays, have thy object
• 1:57:15
  spect the maiden Madraspius Hurteth King from sayambo self created placings unto thee I bring
• 1:57:24
  for he lists to mortals prayer springing from a heart like dying, and he
• 1:57:29
  wills a noble daughter grace, thy, famed and royal lion, a swopathy,
• 1:57:33
  glad and grateful, take the blazing which I bring, part in joy
• 1:57:38
  and part in silence, bow unto Creation's king vanished. Then the prayer maiden
• 1:57:45
  and the King of noble fame a swapathy, lord of coursers to his royal
• 1:57:49
  city cave, days of hope and knights of gladness. Madra's happy monarch passed
• 1:57:56
  till his queen of noble offspring glad some promise gave at last, as the
• 1:58:00
  moon each night increased, chasing dark some nightly gloom grew the unborn babe in
• 1:58:05
  splendor in its happy mother's womb, and in fullness of the season came a
• 1:58:12
  girl with lotus eye, father's hope and joy of murther gifts of kindly gods
• 1:58:16
  on high, and the king performed its bartrides with a glad and grateful mind,
• 1:58:21
  and the people blessed the dear one with their wishes good and kind.
• 1:58:27
  As Savitri prayer Maiden had the beauteous offspring given Brahmans named the child Savitri.
• 1:58:33
  Holy gifts of bounteous heaven grew a child in brighter beauty, like a goddess
• 1:58:39
  from above, and each passing season added treasure, sweetness, deeper love came
• 1:58:45
  with youth, its lovelier graces, as the buds deer leaves unfold, slender,
• 1:58:50
  western rounded bosom image as of barnished gold. Dave Kenya borne a goddess,
• 1:58:58
  so they said, in all the land, princely suitor, struck with
• 1:59:00
  splendor, ventured not to seek her hand. Once upon a time, it
• 1:59:05
  happened, on a bright and festive day, fresh from bat the beauteous maiden
• 1:59:11
  to the altar came to pray, and with cakes and pure libations, duly
• 1:59:15
  fed the sacred flame. Then, like three, in heavenly radiance to her
• 1:59:19
  royal father came bowed unto his feet in silence, sacred flowers beside him laid,
• 1:59:27
  and her hands she folded meekly, sweetly, her obeisance maid with her
• 1:59:32
  father's pride upon her gazed the ruler of the land. But a strain of
• 1:59:36
  sadness fingered for no sweeter claimed her hand. Daughter whispered, us supathy gnaw
• 1:59:44
  methings. The time is come, thou shouldst choose a princely suitor, grace
• 1:59:48
  you royal husband's home. Chose thyself a noble husband, wordy of thy noble
• 1:59:54
  hand. Chose a true and upright monarch pride and glory of his land,
• 2:00:00
  as thou choosest gentle daughter. In thy loving heart's desire, blessing and his
• 2:00:04
  pre permission would bestow thy happy sire for our sacred sastras sanction Holy Brahman's of
• 2:00:12
  relate that the dety loving father sees his girl in wedded state, that the
• 2:00:17
  deity loving husband watches over his consort's ways, that the deity loving offspring dance
• 2:00:24
  his mother's widowed days. Therefore, choose a loving husband, daughter of my
• 2:00:29
  house and love, So thy father, are no censure or from man or
• 2:00:32
  God's above fair Sabitri bowed unto him, and for parting placings prayed. Then
• 2:00:40
  she left her father's palace and in distant regions trade with her garden aged courtiers,
• 2:00:45
  whom her watchful father sent mounted on her golden chariot unto silver woodlands wend.
• 2:00:53
  Then unpleasant oods in jungle rendered. She from day to day unto Ashram's
• 2:00:58
  hermitages. Pious hearted held her way oft she stayed in holy teeth, thus
• 2:01:03
  washed by sacred limpid streams. Food she gave unto the hungry, whilst beyond
• 2:01:09
  their fondest dreams, many days and months are over. And it once did
• 2:01:14
  so befall, when the king and Rechinared settled in the royal hall. From
• 2:01:18
  her journeys near and distant, and from places known to fame, Fair Sabatry,
• 2:01:24
  with the courtiers to her father's palace, came, came and saw her
• 2:01:29
  royal father rechinnaad by his seat, bent her head in salutation, bowed unto
• 2:01:33
  their holy feet tree the faded bridegroom. Whence comes she so nared questioned whether
• 2:01:45
  was Sabitri led wherefore to a happy husband? Had Sabaitery not been wet nay
• 2:01:51
  to choose her lord and husband? So the virtuous monarch said, Fair Sabitry
• 2:01:58
  long had wandered, and the holy Tuteo state maiden speak unto the Rishi and
• 2:02:03
  thy choice and secret tale. Then a blush suffused her forehead, soft and
• 2:02:09
  slow, her actions fell listen. Father Salva's monarch was of old, a
• 2:02:15
  king of might, righteous hearted, deemoth sina feeble now and void of sight.
• 2:02:21
  Foeman robbed him of his kingdom. When in age he lost his side,
• 2:02:27
  and from town and spacious empire, was the monarch forced to fly with
• 2:02:31
  his queen and utius infant did the feeble monarch stray, and the jungle was
• 2:02:36
  his palace. Darksome was his weary way. Holy vows assumed the monarch,
• 2:02:42
  and in penance passed his life in the wild woods, noursed his infant,
• 2:02:46
  and which wild fruits fed his wife. Years have gone in rised panance,
• 2:02:51
  and that child is now a youth. He might choose my lord and husband.
• 2:02:56
  Saith theban soul of truth, thoughtful, was d rishinarad doleful were the
• 2:03:02
  words he said. Said disaster waits savigery if disraalute she wed truthful, loving
• 2:03:10
  is his father, Truthful is the royal dame. Truth and virtue ruled his
• 2:03:15
  actions. Saith theaban is his name. Steinsey loved in days of boyhood,
• 2:03:20
  and to pain damn was his joy. Hence they called him yng tidasuer odd
• 2:03:26
  beloving gallant boy, but opious arted monarch fair sabatry hath ensued court at fate
• 2:03:33
  and sad disaster in that noble gallant yth tell me questioned asopathy, for I
• 2:03:42
  may not guess that thought. Wherefore is my daughter's accent with a sad disaster?
• 2:03:45
  Trad is the youth of noble lassir, gifted in the gift Sabart,
• 2:03:51
  blessed to t wisdom, prowess, passions, daring, dauntless in his heart.
• 2:03:57
  Suya's lassir in him shine it So ud rishian aard, said Braus,
• 2:04:01
  But his wisdom dwelleth in the young Saint Tevan's head, like Mahindra, in
• 2:04:06
  his prowess, and in passions like the art yet O king, A set
• 2:04:11
  disaster marks the gentle youth from birth. Tell me RICHI then thy reason,
• 2:04:17
  So the enxious monarch cried, what a youth so great and gifted may dismayed
• 2:04:23
  be not alied? He is sective and free in bounty, gentle hearted,
• 2:04:27
  full of grace, duely orsed in sacred knowledge, fair in mind and fair
• 2:04:31
  in face, free in gifts like Rerantideva, So the holy Rishi said,
• 2:04:39
  versed in lare like monarch Sibe, who all ancient monarchs led like Jaijati,
• 2:04:45
  open hearted and like Chandra in his grace, like the handsome heavenly ah Swines,
• 2:04:50
  fair and radiant in his face, meek and grace, with passion virtue.
• 2:04:57
  He controls his noble mind, modesty in his kindly actions, true to
• 2:05:00
  friends and ever kind. And the hermits of the forest praise him for his
• 2:05:06
  righteous truth. Gnatless King, thy daughter may not wed this noble hearted Yet
• 2:05:14
  tell me, richie, said the monarch, for the sense from me is
• 2:05:17
  he has this princed some pathal blemish. Wherefore is this match for weed?
• 2:05:24
  Fatal fault, exclaimed Drishi fault that wife at all his grace fault. That
• 2:05:30
  human power, nor a fraught right, nor penance can efface fetal fault or
• 2:05:35
  distined sorrow, For it is decreed on high on this day. Twelve month
• 2:05:41
  later, this ill fated prince will die. Shook the startled king, in
• 2:05:45
  terror and in fear and trembling, cried, unto short lived fated bridegroom,
• 2:05:49
  Never my child shall be alive comes of it. Read your loved maiden,
• 2:05:55
  choose another happier lord. Rishia'rath, speak at wisdom, list unto his holy
• 2:06:00
  word. Every grace and every virtue is effaced by cruel faith. On this
• 2:06:05
  day, a twelve months later, leaves this prince his mortal staed father answered,
• 2:06:12
  does the maiden soft and sad her accents? Fell I have heard thy
• 2:06:15
  honored mandate wholly innhered counsels well pardon witless maidens feelings. But beneath the eye
• 2:06:23
  of heaven, only once a maiden choose it twice, her trot may not
• 2:06:27
  be given long his life are be it narrow and his virtues great or none?
• 2:06:32
  Brave, said Tevan, is my husband, he my heart, and
• 2:06:35
  trot hath won what a maiden's heart had chosen, that a maiden's lives conface
• 2:06:42
  true to him, Thy poor savagery goes into the wilderness. Monarch uttered,
• 2:06:47
  dend Ricchi fixed is she in mind and heart from a trot? The true
• 2:06:53
  savagery never never will depart more than mortal share of virtue, unto said Tevan
• 2:06:59
  is given. Let the true maid wad her chosen, leave the rest to
• 2:07:02
  gracious Heaven Ricci and preceptor Holy. So the hoping monarch prayth have an effort.
• 2:07:10
  All future evils and diamond deities are paid. Narad wished them joy and
• 2:07:15
  gladness. Blessed the loving ut and maid forest hermits on their wedding. Every
• 2:07:20
  favent blessing laid for overtaken by faith, twelve months in the darksome forest by
• 2:07:31
  her true and chosen lord, leaved the Sabaitry, served his parents by her
• 2:07:35
  tot and deed and word, park of trees supplied, her garments drapped upon
• 2:07:41
  her bosom fare order red cloth as in Ashram's Holy women love to wear,
• 2:07:47
  and I is at queen. She tended with a fond and filial pride,
• 2:07:51
  served the old and sightless monarch like a daughter by his side, and it
• 2:07:57
  love and gentle sweetness pleased her husband than her lord. But in secret night
• 2:08:01
  and morning pondered still on narred sword, ne'er came the fatal morning by the
• 2:08:09
  holy nard told fair Sabitri reckoned daily, and her heart was steel and cold.
• 2:08:16
  Three short days remaining only, and she took a vow severe of tree
• 2:08:20
  Ratra, three knights penance, holy fasts, and wasels drear of Savitri's rized
• 2:08:26
  penance hurt the king with anxious war. Speak to her in loving accents,
• 2:08:31
  so the vow she might forego hert the penance gentle daughter and Diomen's limbs are
• 2:08:39
  frail. After three nights, fast sun vissels saw that tender helps may fail.
• 2:08:45
  Be not anxious, loving father, meekly does Savitry prayed, penance,
• 2:08:50
  I have undertaken, will unti the gods be made much misdoubting than the monarch
• 2:08:56
  gave his sad and slow assent, held it fast and once in teardrops lonesome
• 2:09:01
  nights, Sabbitry spent. Nearer came the fatal morning, and tomorrow he shall
• 2:09:07
  die dark, dark hours of nightly silence. Tearless, slipless is her eye,
• 2:09:15
  dauns that dread and faded morning, said Sabatry, Bloodless, brave prayed
• 2:09:20
  her foregent prayers in silence to the fire, oblatiens cave bowed onto the forest,
• 2:09:26
  brompence to the parents kind and good joined her hands in salutation and in
• 2:09:31
  reverence. Silence too with the usual morning blazing with amazed downighveror b anchorites and
• 2:09:39
  aged brahmins blessed Sabatry fervently. All that blessing fell upon her like the rain
• 2:09:46
  on thirsty air. Struggling hope inspired her bosom as she drank those accents fair
• 2:09:54
  but returned the dark remembrance of the rishinnard sword pale. She watched the creeping
• 2:10:00
  sombimbs mused upon her fated lord daughter. Now thou fastest over. So the
• 2:10:07
  loving parents said, take thy diet after pennance, for thy morning prayers are
• 2:10:11
  prayed. Pardon, father, said Savagery, let this other day be done.
• 2:10:18
  Auntshet Teodrovs filled her eyelids glistened in the morning sun. Young Sathaban,
• 2:10:24
  tall and stately ponder six on shoulder hand for the distant darksome jungle, issued
• 2:10:30
  forth, serene and strong. But unto him came Savagery, and in sweetest
• 2:10:35
  exson sprayed as upon his manly bosom. Gently she her forehead laid long.
• 2:10:43
  I wish to see the jungle where steals, not the solar ray. Take
• 2:10:46
  me to the darksome forest. Husband, let me go to day, come
• 2:10:52
  not love, he sweetly answered, with a loving husband's care. Thou art
• 2:10:56
  all unews to labor forest paths. Thou mayst not dare, and which reason
• 2:11:01
  fastens visels pell and bloodless is thy face, and my steps are weak and
• 2:11:05
  feeble. Jungle paths thou mayst not trays, fasts and vissels make me stronger,
• 2:11:13
  said the wife, with wifely pride. Tile, I shall not feel
• 2:11:16
  nor langer when my lord is by my side, for I feel a woman's
• 2:11:22
  longing with my lord to trust away, grant me husband, they were gracious
• 2:11:26
  with deal, let me go to day. Answered. Then the loving husband,
• 2:11:31
  as his hands in horsey wolf, ask permission from my parents in the
• 2:11:35
  trackless roots to row. Then Sabitry to the monarch urgs her longing strange request.
• 2:11:43
  After dutyous slutation, does her humble prayer addressed to the jungle, goes
• 2:11:48
  my husband, peel and the fruit to seek. I would follow if my
• 2:11:54
  mother and my loving father speak twelve months from this narrow ostrum, had Sabitri's
• 2:12:00
  stepped nostrad in this cottage true and faithful, ever, had Sabbatry stayed for
• 2:12:05
  the sacrifice, el feel whence my lord is lonesome way, please my kind
• 2:12:09
  and loving parents. I'd follow him to day, never since her wedding morning.
• 2:12:16
  So the loving king replied, wish sure, taught Savagery whispered for a
• 2:12:20
  boon or object, shiede daughter, their request is granted. Safely in the
• 2:12:26
  forest rome, safely with thy lord and husband, seek again thy cottage home.
• 2:12:33
  Bowing to her loving parents, did the fair Sabitry part smile upon her
• 2:12:39
  pallid features anguish in her inmost heart. Round her, silver and green ooods
• 2:12:45
  blossomed bennet a cloudless Indian sky, Flocks of peafowls, gorgeous plumaged flew before
• 2:12:52
  her wondering eye. Woodland reels and crystal nalas gently rolled over rocky bed flower
• 2:12:58
  decked heels in teevy brightness, towering glittered overhead, birds of sung and beauteous
• 2:13:05
  feeder trilled a note in every grove. Sweeter accents fell upon her from her
• 2:13:11
  husband's leaves of love. Still with thoughtful eye, Savitry watched her dear and
• 2:13:16
  faded lord. Flail of grief was in her bosom, but her pale lips
• 2:13:20
  shaped no word, and she listened to her husband, still on ensious thought,
• 2:13:26
  in tent cleft in two her dropping bosom as in silence, Still she
• 2:13:31
  went caylu togethered wild fruits, did the prince's basket feel hewed the interlaced branches
• 2:13:39
  with his might, and practiced scale till the drop stood on his forehead.
• 2:13:45
  Wary was his aching head faint He came onto Savagery, and in faltering accents,
• 2:13:50
  said, cruel ache is on my forehead fond than ever faithful wife,
• 2:13:56
  and I feel a hundred needles pierce me and torment my life, and my
• 2:14:01
  feeblehood steps falter, and my senses seemed to reel. Fain would I beside
• 2:14:07
  the linger for a sleep? Dot over misty hall with a violent spechless terror,
• 2:14:13
  pale Sabitry held her lord on her left his head. She rested as
• 2:14:18
  she laid him on the sword. Narah's father was remembered as she watched her
• 2:14:24
  husband's head, burning lip and pallid forehead, and the dark and creeping shade
• 2:14:30
  clasped him in her bathing bosom, kissed his lips with panting breadth. Darker
• 2:14:35
  grewed alonesome forest, and he slept asleep of dead five triumph over faith In
• 2:14:48
  the bosom of the shadows rose a vision, dark and red shape of gloom
• 2:14:52
  in inky garments, and the crown was on his head, gleaming form of
• 2:14:58
  sable splendor, blod dread was his sparkling eye, and the fatal news he
• 2:15:03
  carried cream and godlike dark and high, and he stood in solemn silence,
• 2:15:09
  looked in silence on the dead, and Sabatry on the greensword gently placed her
• 2:15:15
  husband's head, and the tremor shook savitry. But a woman's love is strong
• 2:15:20
  with her hands upon her bosom. Thus he spake with quivering tongue. More
• 2:15:26
  than mortal is thy glory and irradiant. God that thou be, tell me
• 2:15:31
  what bright name thou bearest, and thy message unto me know me. Thus
• 2:15:37
  responded I Yamah, mighty owner of the dead Mordal's living early mentioned to my
• 2:15:41
  darksome realms are lad since each woman's full affection, thou hast loved thy husband
• 2:15:48
  dear. Hence before thee faithful woman, Yama doth inform a peer. But
• 2:15:54
  his days and love surrendered, and he leaves his faithful wife. In this
• 2:15:58
  news, I bind and carry spark of his immortal life. Virtue raced his
• 2:16:05
  life and action. Spotless was his princely heart. Hence for him I came
• 2:16:09

• 2:17:11
  For my love and my affection for a woman's sacred war grants me in thy
• 2:17:16
  god like Marcy. Further Still, with him, I go fourfold our human
• 2:17:22
  duties, force to study holy lore, tend to leave as good householders,
• 2:17:28
  feed the hungry at our door, tend to pass our days in penance,
• 2:17:33
  lust to fix our thoughts above, but the final goal of virtue, it
• 2:17:37
  is truth and deathless love. True and holy are thy precepts. Listening Yama

  may reply, and they fill my heart with gladness, and to pious purpose
• 2:17:48
  high I will bless thee fair sarbitry, but the dead come not to life.
• 2:17:54
  Ask for otherbon and blessing, faithful, true and virtuous wife, since
• 2:18:00
  you so permit me, Yama, So the good Saviagry said, for my

• 2:18:11
  dwells the monarch faint and weak, grant him sight, and grant him vager
• 2:18:16
  Yama in thy MARSI speak titious daughter, Yama answered, Pita paiaus wishes given,

  savitry, faint and wary follow not in fruitless war, and no further living
• 2:18:35
  creature may good Monarch Yama go faint, norwerry is savitry. So the noble

  princess said, since she waits upon her husband, gracious monarch of the dead,
• 2:18:48
  what befals the wedded husband still be false? The faithful wife where release
• 2:18:54
  she ever follows, be dead or be it live? And our secretary ordain

  blessings bring longer friendship with the Holy purifies the mortal birth, lasting union with
• 2:19:13
  the Holy is the bright sky on the earth. Union with the pure and
• 2:19:16
  holy his immortal heavenly life. For eternal law divides not. Loving man and
• 2:19:22
  faithful wife, blessed are thy words, said Yama. Blest is thy pious
• 2:19:30
  tarts with a higher purer wisdom, are thy holy lessons. Fraud I'll bless
• 2:19:35
  thee fair Sabitry, but the dead come not to life. Ask for other
• 2:19:39
  born and blessing, faithful, true and virtuous wife, since you so permit
• 2:19:46
  me, Yamma, so the good Sabatry, said once more, for my
• 2:19:50
  husband's father be my supplication. Made lost his kingdom in the forest dwells,
• 2:19:56
  the monarch faint and weak grunts him back his weltern kingdom. Yama in thy
• 2:20:01
  mercy speak. Loving daughter Yama answered, welton kingdom, I bestowle tawn Savatry,
• 2:20:11
  leaving mortal may not do it. King Yama go still Saviatry. Meek
• 2:20:16
  and faithful followed her departed Lord Yama steal with higher wisdom, listened to her
• 2:20:24
  saintly word, and the sable king was vanquished. And he turned on her
• 2:20:30
  again, and his words fell on Savatry like the cooling, sammar rain,
• 2:20:35
  noble woman, speak thy wishes, name thy boon and Papa's high what they
• 2:20:41
  pious mortal asket, gods in heaven may not deny thou hast, So Savagery
• 2:20:48
  answered, granted father's realm amide to his vain and sightless eyeballs, has restored
• 2:20:54
  their blessed side. Grant him to the line of monarchs. May not all
• 2:21:01
  untimely end that his kingdom to set divans and sabatry sons descent. Have thy
• 2:21:07
  object, answered, Yamah, and thy lord shall live again. He shall
• 2:21:13
  leave to be a father, and your children too shall reign. For a
• 2:21:18
  woman's trot aboud it longer than the flitting bread, and a woman's love abideth
• 2:21:24
  higher than the doom of death. Six return home vanished, and the sable
• 2:21:35
  monarch and Savigery held her way, where in dense and darksome forest still her
• 2:21:39
  husband lifeless lay, and she sat upon the green sword by the cold,
• 2:21:46
  unconscious death on her lap with deeper kindness pleased her consort's lifeless head, and
• 2:21:52
  that touch of true affection thrilled him back to waking life. Has returned from
• 2:21:58
  distant regions, gazed the prince upon his wife, have violin too long and
• 2:22:03
  slumbered, sweet savagery, faithful spous But I dreamed a sable person in a
• 2:22:09
  news took forth my life pillowed on his lap, She answered, Long upon
• 2:22:16
  the arch he lay, and the sable person husband, he had come and
• 2:22:22
  passed away. Rise and leave this darksome forest, if thou feelest light and
• 2:22:28
  strong, for the night is on the jungle, and our way is dark
• 2:22:31
  and long. Rising as from happy slumber, looked a young prince on all
• 2:22:37
  round, saw the wide extending jungle, mantling all the darksome ground. Yes,
• 2:22:45
  he said, I now remember, ever, loving, faithful dame,
• 2:22:48
  we in source of fruit and fuel to this lonesome forest. Came as I
• 2:22:54
  hewed the old branches cral aguish filled my brain, and I laid me on
• 2:22:58
  the grid insword with a throbbing, piercing pain pillowed on thy gentle bosom.
• 2:23:05
  Solaced by thy gentle love, I was soothed and drowsy slumber fell on me.
• 2:23:11
  From skies above all was dark, And then I witnessed, was it
• 2:23:16
  but a flitting dream, God our reason? Dark and dreadful in the deepening
• 2:23:22
  shadows gleam, was this dream my fair, Savagery, dost thou of this
• 2:23:26
  vision know? Tell me? For before my eyesight still the vision seems to
• 2:23:31
  grow. Darkness thickens, said Savagery, and the evening waxed late. When
• 2:23:39
  the morrow's light return it, I shall all these scenes narrate. Now arise,
• 2:23:46
  for darkness gathers deeper grows the gloomy night, and thy loving antious parents
• 2:23:52
  trembling wait thy welcome sight hark the ringers of the forest, How their voices
• 2:23:58
  strike the year of the darksome jungle, How they feel my breast with fear.
• 2:24:03
  Forest fire is raising yonder, For I see a distant glaim and a
• 2:24:09
  rising evening breezes. How the red and radiant beam. Let me fetch a
• 2:24:13
  burning fagot and prepare a friendly light with these fallen witered bronzes, chase the
• 2:24:18
  shadows of the night. And if feebles teal thy footsteps long and weary is
• 2:24:24
  our way by the fire, repose my husband and return by light of day.
• 2:24:31
  For my parents fondly anxious, said Tevan. Thus made reply paints my
• 2:24:37
  heart and yearns my bosom latest to their cottage high When I tarried in the
• 2:24:41
  jungle, or by day or dewy eve surging in the hermitages. Often did
• 2:24:46
  my parents grieve, And with father's soft reproaches and with mother's loving fears,
• 2:24:54
  chide me for my tardy footsteps. Ded me with your gentle tears, Take
• 2:24:58
  then of my father's sorrow, of my mother's sowful plith. If a far
• 2:25:03
  in wood and jungle pass with now the livelong night, wife, beloved,
• 2:25:09
  I may not fathom what mashop or load of care, unknown dangers, unknown
• 2:25:13
  sorrows, Even now my parents sare gentle drops of filial sorrow trickled down his
• 2:25:20
  manly eye. Pawn Savagery, sweetly, speaking, softly wiped the tear drops
• 2:25:26
  dry. Trust me, husband, If Savagery hath been faithful in her love,
• 2:25:31
  if she had with pious offerings served arighty as God's above, if she
• 2:25:37
  had his sister's kindness unto brother man performed, if she had in speech and
• 2:25:43
  action unto holy truth, conformed unknown blessings, mighty gladness, trust Eve or
• 2:25:48
  faithful wife, and not sorrows or disasters wait deceive our parents life. Then
• 2:25:56
  she rose and tied her tresses gently her lord to rise, walked with him
• 2:26:01
  the pathless jangle looked at love into his eyes on her neck. His clasping
• 2:26:09
  left arm sweetly windes in soft embraces round his waist. Savager's rider doth sweetly
• 2:26:15
  interlace. As they walked the Dogsome jungle silent stars looked from above, and
• 2:26:22
  the host and throbbing midnight watched Savitri's deathless Love and of book five, Book
• 2:26:33
  six go Ahadden cattle lifting. The conditions of the banishment of the Suns of
• 2:26:41
  Pandu were hard. They must pass twelve years in exile, and then they
• 2:26:46
  must remain an ear in consonment. If they were discovered within this last year,
• 2:26:50
  they must go into exile for another twelve years. Having passed the twelve
• 2:26:56
  years of exile in forests, the Panda brothers disguised themselves and entered into the
• 2:27:01
  menial service of Biddad, king of the Misias, to pass the year of
• 2:27:05
  Counsilman Eodistair presented himself as a Brahman skilled in dies, and became a courtier
• 2:27:11
  of the king. We mentored the king's service as cook for religion, who
• 2:27:16
  was so well known. A stricter councilman was necessary. He wore conspangles and
• 2:27:22
  tear rings and braided his hair like those unfortunate beings whom nature has debarred from
• 2:27:28
  the privileges of man and women, and he lived in the inner apartments of
• 2:27:31
  the king. He assumed the name of Rihannalla and taught the inmates of the
• 2:27:37
  royal household in music and dancing. Nikol became a keeper of the king's horses,
• 2:27:43
  and Sadib took chairs of the king's cows. Chopaditu disguised herself as a
• 2:27:48
  waiting women and served the princess of the Mitsia house in that humble capacity.
• 2:27:54
  In these disguises, the Panda brothers safely passed a year in counsilment in spite
• 2:27:58
  of all search which the Lutan made after them. At last an incident happened
• 2:28:03
  which led to their discovery when the year was out. Cattle lifting was a
• 2:28:09
  common practice with the kings of ancient India, as with the chiefs of ancient
• 2:28:13
  Greece. The King of the Trigathas and the King of the Curus combined and
• 2:28:18
  fell on the King of Damachias in order to drive off the numerous heart of
• 2:28:22
  the fine cattle for which his kingdom was famed. The Trigartas entered Damitzi Kingdom
• 2:28:28
  from the southeast, and while without went out with his troops to meet the
• 2:28:33
  foe, the Lutan with his Curu forces fell on the kingdom from the north.
• 2:28:37
  When news came that the Curus had invaded the kingdom, there was no
• 2:28:41
  army in the capital to defend it. King Virat had gone out with most
• 2:28:46
  of his troops to face the Trigathas in the southeast, and the Prince Utta
• 2:28:50
  had no inclination to face the Curus in the north. The disguised Drjan now
• 2:28:56
  came to the rescue in the manner described in this book. The description of
• 2:29:00
  the bows, arrows and swords of the Panda brothers, which they had counseled
• 2:29:05
  in a tree wrapped like human corpses to frighten away inquisitive travelers throw some light
• 2:29:11
  on the arts and manufacture of ancient times. The portions translated in this book
• 2:29:16
  formed sections thirty five, thirty six, forty to forty three, a portion
• 2:29:22
  of section forty four, and sections fifty three and seventy two of book four
• 2:29:26
  of the original text. One complaint of the cow herd monarch of the Mighty
• 2:29:35
  Marchias Brave Birad known to fame, marched against regard the chieftains, who from
• 2:29:41
  the southward. Resians came from the north. The proud Duriotan, stealing onwards
• 2:29:48
  day by day, swept the Machia's fattened cattle like the hawk upon its prey
• 2:29:54
  fish drown. Peerless Skirn led the Kour warriors brave swept the kingdom of Virat.
• 2:30:01
  Like the ocean's surging wave fell upon the trembling cowhords, chased them from
• 2:30:07
  the pasture. Failed. Sixty thousand head of cattle was the monsieur country yelled,
• 2:30:13
  and the wailing chief of Cowhords fled. Forelln fatigued and spent, speeding
• 2:30:20
  on his rapid chariot to the royal city. Went, came inside the city
• 2:30:24
  portals, came within the palace gate, struck his forehead in his anguish,
• 2:30:28
  and bewailed his luckless faith. Meeting there, the Prince ut, youth of
• 2:30:35
  beauty and of fame, told him of the Curu's outrage and lamented Masia's shame.
• 2:30:41
  Sixty thousand head of cattle bred of Machia's finest breath to his diner's distant
• 2:30:48
  empire, to the court chieftain's lead, glory of the Machia nation, Save
• 2:30:52
  thy father's valid kind, quick, thy footsteps, strong, thy valor,
• 2:30:58
  vengeance, deep and dire bedyed against the fears, toguard the chieftains. Much
• 2:31:03
  as warlike king is gone, do we count our lord and savior as our
• 2:31:07
  monarch's gallant son, rise utter beat the Korus, homeward, lead the stolen
• 2:31:13
  kind like an elephant of jungle, piercedakoruz shattered line as the ben as Pigot's
• 2:31:20
  music by musicians, tune their aright. Let thy sounding bow and arrows speak
• 2:31:24
  thy deeds of matchless mile harness, quick Thai milk white coursers to thy sounding
• 2:31:31
  battle car hoist thy golden lion banner, speed, deep prints, unto the
• 2:31:35
  war and asked underwreielding indra smo Asura's fears and bold Smite the Korus with thy
• 2:31:43
  arrows winged with plumes of yellow gold, as the famed in warlike urgeon is
• 2:31:48
  the stay of Kuru's race. Thou art refuge of the Marsias and thy kingdom's
• 2:31:54
  pride and grace. But the prince went not to battle from the foe,
• 2:31:58
  to guard the state, to the cow hord answered gaily, sheltered by the
• 2:32:03
  palace gate not unknown to me. The usage of the bow and winged dart
• 2:32:07
  not unknown, the warrior's duty or the warrior's noble art. I doing my
• 2:32:13
  father's cattle from the willie Foeman's greed. If a skillful chariot driver could my
• 2:32:18
  fiery coursers lead for my ancient chariot driver died on battle's gory plain. Eight
• 2:32:24
  and twenty days we wrestled. Many warlike chiefs were slain. Bring me forth
• 2:32:31
  a skillful driver who can arch the battle's teeth. I'll hoist my lion banner
• 2:32:35
  to the dubious battle's speed. Dashing to the foeman's horses, ranks of elephants
• 2:32:41
  and car I'll win the stolen cattle rescued in the field of war, and
• 2:32:46
  like thunderwilding Indra smiting Danu's sons of old, I'll smite the kor chieftains,
• 2:32:52
  drive them to their distant hold. Wishma and the proud duriotan archar kar known
• 2:32:58
  to fame Drone too, shall quail before me and retreat in bitter shame.
• 2:33:03
  Do those warriors in my absence Muchia's far famed cattle steel, But benet my
• 2:33:09
  countless arrows much ya's vangey and s day shall fail. Bring me forth a
• 2:33:15
  chariot driver, Let me speed my battle car. And in wonder davil question
• 2:33:20
  is Desurgent famed in War two. The disguised charioteer Urgent guised as Briannela,
• 2:33:31
  had the boast to thermaid and to try his skill and valor does to fair
• 2:33:35
  Droperdy prayed, say to him that Brihannela will his battle chariot leave that as
• 2:33:41
  Urgent's chariot driver, he had learned to uge the steeth. Say that faithful
• 2:33:48
  Brihannela many a dubious war had seen, and to win his father's cattle in
• 2:33:54
  this contest, fierce and keen, fair Dropody, guised as Minia, Urgent's
• 2:34:00
  secret has stopped bed humbly stepped before Uther, and in gentle accents prayed,
• 2:34:07
  hear me, Prince Ian Brihandela will die battle chariot lead. He was Urgent's
• 2:34:13
  chariot driver skilled to urgit the flying steed trained in war by Mighty Urgent,
• 2:34:18
  trained to drive the battle car. He had followed Halndurgin in the glorious field
• 2:34:24
  of war, and when Urgent conquered conduct this utter I have seen Brihandela drove
• 2:34:30
  his chariot, for I served to his DearS, Queen hard Uther, hesitating
• 2:34:35
  speak his faint and timid mind. I trust Iviteu's maiden Lotus bosomed ever kind,
• 2:34:43
  but a poor and sexless creature. Can he reign the warlike steed?
• 2:34:46
  Can I ask him wordstan woman into battle's ranks to lead? Need is none
• 2:34:52
  dropady, answered Brihannala's grace to ask. He is eager like the warhorse for
• 2:34:58
  this great and warlike tank. And he waits upon thy sister. She will
• 2:35:03
  beat dominion speed, and he wins thy father's cattle and the victor's glorious mead.
• 2:35:09
  Much as princes spake to Urgent argon let the battle car let the doubting
• 2:35:15
  Prince Uther to the dread and dubious war tree, arms and weapons, Argent
• 2:35:26
  drove to Prince of Matya to a darksome sami tree, spake unto the timid
• 2:35:30
  warrior in his accents, bold and free Prince, Taibo and shining arrows.
• 2:35:35
  Pretty handsome toys are these? Scarcely they besme a warrior and the warrior cannot
• 2:35:41
  please thou shalt find upon this Sami, mark my words which never fail,
• 2:35:48
  stately bows and winged arrows, banners, swords and coats of male, and
• 2:35:54
  the bow which strongest warriors scars can in the battle band, and the limits
• 2:35:58
  of a kingdom widen when the bow is trained tall and slender, like a
• 2:36:03
  palm tree worthy of a warrior, bold, smooth, the wood of hardened
• 2:36:07
  fiber, and the ants are yellow gold. Doubting still, Uttar answered,
• 2:36:13
  in this sum is gloomy shade, corps sang, Since many seasons in their
• 2:36:18
  wrappings stilly laid. Now I mark them all suspended, horrent in the open
• 2:36:24
  air. And to touch the unclean object's friend is more than I can dare
• 2:36:28
  fear not, Warrior Arjun answered, for the tree councils no dead, warrior's
• 2:36:33
  weapons gased like corpses larquid in its gloomy shade. And I asked thee Prince
• 2:36:39
  Amatia not to touch an unclean thing, but unto a chief and warrior weapons
• 2:36:45
  and his arms to bring Prince Uta gently lighted, climbed the darkened leafy tree,
• 2:36:52
  urging from the prince chariot, bade him speed the arms to free.
• 2:36:56
  Then the young prince cut the wrappings and the shining those appear twisted, voiced
• 2:37:01
  like hissing serpents, like the bright stars, seeming clear. Seized with wonder,
• 2:37:07
  Prince uther silently the weapon side, and unto his chariot driver does in

  and we heard of them no more, or perchance still onesome wonder on some

  womankind. Dot she under you to his tear, changeless in her heart and

  Not in distant lands. The brothers do their rendering footsteps trays in thy father's

• 2:43:00
  Urgent decked his mighty stature in the gleaming arms of war, and which voice
• 2:43:05
  of distant thunder rolled the mighty battle car, and the curuse marked with wonder
• 2:43:11
  urgent standard lifted proud hard with dread, the deep Gandhib sounding oft and sounding
• 2:43:16
  loud, and knew the wondrous woman wheeling round the battle car, and with
• 2:43:22
  doubts and grave misgivings, whose padrona s killed in war? That is Urgent's
• 2:43:28
  monkey stounded. How it greets my ancient eyes, while the Curus know the

  standard like a comet in the sguise here he and not the deep Gandhib.

  How my ear its accents grief marking now these pointed arrows falling prone before my

• 2:44:31
  Whispered thus to Prince Uther as he drove the battle car stopped a steet saw

  Prince Amatia, for too close. We may not go. Stop the chariot.
• 2:44:41
  Whence my arrows rich and slid at distent fold, seek without the crew

  Monarch proud the rood and led us meath. If he falls we win the
• 2:44:50
  battle, other chieftains will retreat. There is drown my preceptor, Drone's warlike
• 2:44:56
  sun is there, Creeper and the mighty Vishma orchard karne tall and fair them.
• 2:45:03
  I seek not in this battle lead or lead thy chariot far midst the

• 2:45:52
  Urgent woilds his sounding battle car against our prince and proud Duruthan seeks to turn

  the tide of war. Let us fall upon our foemen and our prince and
• 2:46:03
  leader, save few Sewindra, god of battles, conquered Surgeon, fierce and
• 2:46:07
  brave. What were Matsia's fattened cattle, Many thousands doled be if our monarch
• 2:46:15
  sinks in battle like a ship in stormy sea. Vain were Creepau's words of
• 2:46:20
  wisdom. Urgent drove the chariot fair, while his champs, like countless locusts,
• 2:46:26
  whistled through the ambient air. Kuru soldiers, struck with panic, neither
• 2:46:33
  stood and fought, nor fled, gazed upon the distant Urgent, gazed upon
• 2:46:37
  their comrades dead. Urgent twung this mighty weapon, blew his forest sounding shell

  farm and solid ground. Kuru soldier sled in terror or the slumbered with the

• 2:53:13
  but the jealous Dilutan hated his cousins with a genuine hatrate and did not

  for the most sanguinary and disastrous battle that had ever been witnessed in Northern India.

  valiant fathers, brave in war, accustant taal in their jambi spangled garments,

  starby spangled sky kind to greetings sweet the converse softer golden moment's fly till intent
• 2:54:54
  on graver questions, all on Krishna turned their eye, which now it is
• 2:55:00
  innervision. Then the state of things surveyed, and his thoughts before the monarchs.
• 2:55:05
  Thus in weighty accents laid known to all the mighty monarchs, May your
• 2:55:11
  glory everlast true to ply the word. Yetister had his very exile past twelve
• 2:55:18
  long years with fair dropody in the battless jungle strade, and the year in
• 2:55:22
  menial service in Birard's palace. Staid he had kept his spighted promise, brave
• 2:55:28
  affliction, woo and shame. And he begs assembled monarchs, Ye shall now
• 2:55:33
  his duty name, For he swerve not from duty kingdom of the sky,
• 2:55:39
  to win private hamlet more than empire. So his course be free from sin,
• 2:55:45
  loss of realm and wealth and glory. Higher virtues in him prove thoughts
• 2:55:50
  of peace and not of anger. Still the good it is deer moved.
• 2:55:54
  Mark again the sleepless anger and the unrelenting hate. Harbored by the proud drudan,
• 2:56:00
  driven by his luckless faith from a child, by fire or poison,
• 2:56:05
  impious skuile or tree cobbed eyes, he had compassed a dark destruction by deceit
• 2:56:11
  and low device. Ponder well, the gracious monarchs, with a just and
• 2:56:16
  righteous mind, how bit his deirit your counsel, with your grace and blessings.
• 2:56:22
  Kind Should the noble son of Pandu seek his right by open war,
• 2:56:28
  seek the aid of a righteous monarchs and of chieftains near and far. Should
• 2:56:33
  his mighty ancient foemen skilled in each deceitful art on forgiving in der vengeance,
• 2:56:39
  unrelenting in dear heart, Should he redder send a message to the proud,
• 2:56:45
  unbanding foe and to Ruden's hafty purpose, seek by messenger to know. Should
• 2:56:50
  he send the noble envoy, trained in virtue, true and wise, with
• 2:56:56
  his greetings to Derudan in a meek and friendly guise, ask him to restore
• 2:57:01
  the kingdom on the sacred Gemuna's shore. Either king may rule his empire as
• 2:57:05
  in happy days of your Krishna uttered words of wisdom, pregnant with his peaceful
• 2:57:13
  thought, for in peace and not by bloodshed. Still it is tish right
• 2:57:18
  he sought two Valdev's speech Krishna's elder baldeb stolar chief who bore a plow rose
• 2:57:28
  and speck the blood of Brushni's mantled over his lofty brow. Ye have listened,
• 2:57:35
  pious monarchs, to my brother's gentle word love evers to good it is
• 2:57:39
  Deir, and to proudhast Dina's lord for his realm by dark blue Zemuna gooded
• 2:57:46
  is Deir held of your brave Duriodan ruled his kingdom on the Rhdi Gangha's shore,
• 2:57:52
  and once more in love and friendship. Either prince may rule his share,
• 2:57:58
  for the lands are broad, and each realm is rich and fair.
• 2:58:03
  Speak the envoy to Hastina with our love and greetings. Kind Let him speak
• 2:58:09
  it. His der sushes seek to know to Yudan's mind. Make obeisance unto
• 2:58:13
  Vishmah and to Dronah, true and bold, unto creepa archer kern, and
• 2:58:20
  to chieftains young and old, to the sons of tretraashtre rulers of the kurul
• 2:58:26
  End, righteous Indian kingly duties stout of heart and strong of end, to
• 2:58:33
  the princes and to burghers gathered in the council hall. Let him speak it,
• 2:58:37
  His dear sushes plead it is there's cause to all speak. He not
• 2:58:43
  in futile anger, for Durudan holds the power, and it is di wreath.
• 2:58:48
  Were folly in this sad and luckless hour by his dearest friends, dissuaded,
• 2:58:54
  but by rage or madness driven he had played and lost his empire.
• 2:58:58
  May his folly be forgiven in repressed spacious empire. Now Durudan deems his own
• 2:59:05
  by his tears and soft entreaty. Let it his tears seeing the throne open
• 2:59:11
  war, I do not counsel humbly seek Durludhan's grace. War will not restore
• 2:59:16
  the empire, nor the gambler's loss. Replace Thus with cold and cruel candor,
• 2:59:24
  stalwart Veldeve cried, ratful Rose, the brave, said thicky fiercely.
• 2:59:28
  Thus to him, replied Tree said thicky speech shame unto the halting chieftain,
• 2:59:37
  who thus pleads to Durhan's part timoth counsel Valdeve speaks. A women's team with
• 2:59:43
  heart oft from warlike stock, arise at a wakling chief who bands the knee,
• 2:59:48
  as with your truthless sapling, spring it from a fruitful tree, from
• 2:59:54
  a heart so faint and craven. Faint and graven words must flow monarchs in
• 2:59:58
  their pri and glory, least not to such counsel law couldst thou impious Valdeve
• 3:00:05
  meets these potent deaths of fame on. It is here, pious hearted cast
• 3:00:09
  this undeserved blame, challenged by his wily foemen and by dark misfortune, crost
• 3:00:16
  trusting to their faith, It is here played a righteous game and lost challenge
• 3:00:22
  from a crowned monarch. Can a crowned king decline, canik Shatya, warrior,
• 3:00:26
  fadom, fraud in Sons of royal line, natless, his surrendered empire,
• 3:00:33
  true to fate and plighted word lived for years in Pathley's forests. In
• 3:00:37
  Represst's mighty lord, past his ears of weary exile. Now he claims his
• 3:00:43
  realm of old, claims it not as humble suppliant, but as king and
• 3:00:48
  warrior, bold, past his ear of dark councilman, Boldedestre claims his own
• 3:00:56
  proud Duludan now must render in Repress's duelt thrown Fishma councils, drown arches,
• 3:01:03
  Crepa pleads for right in vain, false Turudan will not render, sinful conquest
• 3:01:09
  troth will gain open war. I therefore counsel ruthless and relentless war grace we
• 3:01:16
  seek not when we meet them, speeding in our battle car and our weapons
• 3:01:22
  not entreaties, shall our foemen force to yield, yield it iss rightful kingdom
• 3:01:28
  or the parish on the field False to Rudon and his forces fall beneath our
• 3:01:33
  battle shock, as beneath a bolt of thunder falls the crushed and riven rock.
• 3:01:39
  Who shall meet the helm Durgin in the gory field of war. Krishna,
• 3:01:43
  it is fiery Discus mounted on his battle car, who shall face the
• 3:01:48
  twin born brothers by the mighty vim lead and the vengeful chief side Ticki with
• 3:01:54
  his bow and arrow's dread Ansi and Rupert Wilds his weapon peerless in the field
• 3:02:01
  of fight, and his brave son born of Ugny owns an all conjuming miThe
• 3:02:07
  of Himeneu, son of Virgin, whom the fairs of a drabor and whose
• 3:02:11
  happy nuptials brought us from far to Ourka's cigard shore man on art nor bright
• 3:02:18
  immortals can the youthful hero face when with more than Urgent's prowess of women,
• 3:02:22
  who leads the rays Tretraashtra's sons we conquer, and Gunter's wily son vanquished current
• 3:02:31
  du Old, honored for his deeds of valor done when the fierce contested battle
• 3:02:37
  and redeem it his tears own place the exile pious hearted on his father's ancient
• 3:02:41
  throne. And no sins, I take your reckons, slaughter of the mortal
• 3:02:46
  foe, but to beg a grace of foemen were immortal scene and war speed
• 3:02:52
  we then, unto our duty, let our impious foremen yield, or the
• 3:02:56
  fiery son of Sini meets them on the battlefield for trupet speech. Fair Panchal's
• 3:03:07
  ancient monarch rose his secret thoughts to tell from his lips the words of wisdom
• 3:03:11
  which a graceful accent fell. Much. I fear thou speakest truly hard.
• 3:03:18
  His carused hoborn rays vain the hope die effort futile to beseech to Ryudhan's grace.
• 3:03:24
  Tretashtra pleaded, vainly, feeble, easiest fitful star, ancient Vishma,
• 3:03:31
  righteous Drona cannot stop this fatal war. Archerd Current tossed for battle, moved
• 3:03:37
  by jealousy and pride, Deep Seconni falls and wily still supports Tourythan's side.
• 3:03:43
  Vain is Valadive's counsel. Vainly shall our envoy plead half his empire, proud
• 3:03:50
  to ruden yields not in his boundless grieve. In his pride, he deems
• 3:03:54
  our mildness, faint and feeble hearted fear and our sweet will fan his glory
• 3:04:00
  and his arrogance will cheer. Therefore, let our many heralds travel near and
• 3:04:05
  travel far. Seek alliance of all monarchs in the great impending oar unto brave
• 3:04:11
  and noble chieftains on the nations east and west, north, in south to
• 3:04:16
  warlike races. Speed our message and request meanwhile peace and offered friendship. We
• 3:04:22
  before Durudan place, and my priest will seek hastina strive to win Durudhan's grace.
• 3:04:30
  If he renders in repressed, peace will crown the happy land, or
• 3:04:33
  our troops will shake the empire from the east to western strand. Vainly were
• 3:04:39
  Panchal's rahmans sandwich messages of peace. Vainly ours does noz elders that the fatal
• 3:04:46
  feuds should cease. Proud Durudhan to his kinsmen would not yield their proper share.
• 3:04:52
  Pandu's sons should not surrender, for they had the will to dare fatal
• 3:04:58
  war and dire destruction. The mighty gods ordain till the kings and armed nations
• 3:05:03
  chewed the red and rieking plain. Krishna, in his righteous effort, sought
• 3:05:07
  for wisdom from above, strove to stop the war of nations and to end
• 3:05:13
  the feuth in love and to far Hastina's palace, Christna went to sue for
• 3:05:18
  peace, raised his voice against the slaughter, begged that strife and feud should
• 3:05:24
  cease. Five Christna's speech at Hastina, silence, said the listening chieftains in
• 3:05:31
  Hastina's council hall. With the voice of rolling thunder, Krishna spake unto them
• 3:05:37
  all, listen, Machichitarashtra, Kuru's great and ancient king, seek not war
• 3:05:45
  and death of kinsmen, ward of peace and love, y breing midst the
• 3:05:48
  wide art's many nations words in their words excel love and kindness, spotless virtue
• 3:05:56
  in the Curu elders to all, father of the noble nation, Now retired
• 3:06:01
  from life's turmoil, I'll be seems that seen or untrout should diansient bosom soil
• 3:06:07
  for thy sons in impious anger seek to do their kinsmen wrong and will hold
• 3:06:13
  the throne and kingdom which by right to them belong. And the danger does
• 3:06:18
  arise it like the comet's baleful fire, Slaughtered kinsmen, blading nations soon selfeed
• 3:06:26
  its fatal are stretch Thy hands of Kroumnarch, prove thy truth and holy grace
• 3:06:33
  man a peace Ever the slaughter and preserve thy ansient rays, yet restrain thy
• 3:06:39
  fiery children for Thy mandates. They obey ay with sweet and soft persuasion.

  For the gods assist the rideus. They which added prowess, came exciled into

  If in past in thoughtless folly, once the realm was broken in twine,

• 3:21:13
  All negotiations for a peaceful partition of the Kuru kingdom having failed, both parties
• 3:21:18
  now prepared for a battle, perhaps the most sanguinary that was fought on the
• 3:21:22
  plains of India in dencient times. It is a battle of nations, for
• 3:21:26
  all warlike races in northern India took a cher in it. Duritan's army consisted
• 3:21:33
  of his own division as well as the divisions of ten alied kings. Each
• 3:21:37
  allied power is said to have brought one Akshaeni troops, and if he reduced
• 3:21:41
  this fabulous number to the moderate figure of ten thousand, including horse and foot
• 3:21:46
  cars and elephants, Duritan's army, including his own division, was over one
• 3:21:50
  hundred thousand strong. Yidistir had a smaller army, said to have been seven
• 3:21:56
  Akshainese in number, which he made by a similar reduction, reckoned to be
• 3:22:00
  seventy thousand. His father in law, the King of the Panchaals and Durjin's
• 3:22:05
  relative, the King of the Machias, where his principal allies, Krishna,
• 3:22:11
  joined him as his friend and adviser and as the chadiotier of Virgin, but
• 3:22:16
  the Breshnis as a nation had joined the Ryudhan. When the two armies were
• 3:22:20
  drawn up in Ari and faced each other, and Darjin saw his revered elders
• 3:22:24
  and dear friends and relations among his foes, he was unwilling to fight.
• 3:22:30
  It was on this occasion that Krishna explained to him the great principles of duty
• 3:22:35
  in that memorable work called the fagovat Ghita, which has been translated into so
• 3:22:39
  many European languages. Belief in one supreme deity is the underlying thought of this
• 3:22:43
  work, and ever an Anon, as Professor gerberremrs. Thus Krishna ever to
• 3:22:50
  the doctrine that for every man, no matter to what cast he may belong,
• 3:22:54
  the jealous performance of his duty and the teachers of his obligations is his
• 3:22:58
  most important. They didn't chose the grand oul fighter Vishma as the commander in
• 3:23:05
  chief of his army. For ten days, Vishma held his own and inflicted
• 3:23:09
  serious loss on Idistirr's army. The principal incidents of these ten days, ending
• 3:23:15
  with the fall of Vishma, are narrated in this book. This book is
• 3:23:20
  an approachment of Book six of the original text, one pondebs rooted by Vishma
• 3:23:28
  Ushas with her crimson fingers OpEd the portals of the day nations armed for mortal
• 3:23:35
  combat. In the field of battle, lay beat of drum and blare of
• 3:23:39
  trumpet, and the sun cast lofty sound by the answering cloud repeated shook the
• 3:23:43
  hills and tanted ground. And the voice of sounding weapons which the warlike archards
• 3:23:48
  drew, and the nay of battle chargers as the armed horsemen flew mingled with
• 3:23:54
  the rolling thunder of each swiftly speeding car and its feeling bells, proclaimed mighty
• 3:24:00
  elephants of war, fish mall and takuru forces strong as that's resistless flail human
• 3:24:07
  chiefs nor bright immortals could against his might prevail. Helmutwearing Galander Jun came in
• 3:24:15
  pride and mighty red held alofties, famed Gandhib strove to cross the chieftain's path.
• 3:24:22
  A Vimenu, son of a Jun, whom the Fairsuvadrabor, drove against
• 3:24:26
  Koshala's monarch, famed in arms and holy lore, hurling down Kshaala's standard,
• 3:24:33
  he either to be as combat one barely escaped it life the monarch from the
• 3:24:37
  fiery at June's Sun, with his fated for Duryoden, we must drove in
• 3:24:43
  deathful war and against a proud dussasan brave Nichole drove his car Sadib mighty women.
• 3:24:50
  Then the fierce dur Mukhassat and the righteous king in his dear with the
• 3:24:54
  carborn Selia fought and sent feud and deathless hatreds fired. The Brahman warrior Bold
• 3:25:01
  Dronah, with the proud Panchals fought once more his field of gold nations from
• 3:25:07
  the eastern regions against the bold birard pressed Creepa met the wild Cacals hailing from
• 3:25:15
  the farthest west. Drupert, proud and peerless monarch with his cohorts onward bore
• 3:25:22
  against the warlick Jeddrad, chief of Sindhu's sounding shore Chades and the valiant Matchias
• 3:25:30
  nations gathered from Afar Vojas and the fierce Combojures mingled into dubious war through the
• 3:25:37
  day. The battle lasted, and no mortal tongue can tell what unnumbered chieftains
• 3:25:43
  perished and what countless soldiers fell. And the son knew not his father,
• 3:25:48
  and the sire knew not his son brother fought against his brother strange the deeds
• 3:25:54
  of Balerdan. Horses fell, and shafts of chariots sheavered in resistless shark hurled
• 3:26:01
  against a foreman's chariots, speeding like the rolling rock. Elephants by mouths driven
• 3:26:07
  furiously each other tore, trumpeting with trunks uplifted on the serried soldier's boar ceaselessplied
• 3:26:16
  the gallant troopers with a stone unielding might. Pikes and axes, clubs and
• 3:26:20
  maces, swords and spears and lences breathe. Horsemen flee wes, fork lighting
• 3:26:26
  heroes fought in shining mail. Archers poured their feedered arrows like the bright and
• 3:26:31
  glistening hail. Vishma, leader of the curus As, declined the ratful day
• 3:26:39
  through the shattered pant of legions, forced his all resistless way. Onward went
• 3:26:45
  his palm tree standard through the hostile ranks of war machias. Gashi's nor Panchallas
• 3:26:50
  faced the mighty wish mouse car, But the fiery son of a June,
• 3:26:56
  filled with shame and bite a red turned his car and tawny course to abstract
• 3:27:01
  the chieftain's pet vainly fought the youthful warrior, though his doughts were pointed well
• 3:27:07
  and dissevered from his chariot. Vishma's pumpy standard fell angers teared Dance and Vishma,
• 3:27:15
  and he rose in all his mind a he manew pierced with arrows,
• 3:27:18
  fell unfainted in the fire. Then to save the son of Virtune, Matia's
• 3:27:24
  gallant princess came brave with their noble sweater. Youthful warriors known to fame Ah
• 3:27:31
  too hourly felt the warriors in that sad and fatal strife, Matia's dems and
• 3:27:37
  dark eyed maidens wept. The princess shortened life, slain by cwel faith untimely
• 3:27:43
  fell to brothers young and good, dauntless. Still the youngest brother, proud
• 3:27:48
  and gallant Sunka stood, But the helmet wearing Urgun came to stop the victor's
• 3:27:54
  pat and to save the fearless Sunkhah from dancient Vishma red drooped two upon Charles's
• 3:28:03
  monarch swiftly rushed into the prey strove to shield the broken pundubs and to stop
• 3:28:07
  the victor's way. But as fire consumed the forest. Wrathful Vishma slew the
• 3:28:13
  foe none could faces sounding chariot and his ever circled bow, and the fainting
• 3:28:20
  Punda brothers marked a foe resistless bold shoke like unprotected cattle teetered in the blighting
• 3:28:28
  cold. Onward came the mighty Vishma, and the slaughter fiercer grew from his
• 3:28:33
  bill like hissing serpents. Still the glistening arrows flew. Onward came the ensign
• 3:28:41
  to warrior, and his path was strewn with dead, and the broken bond
• 3:28:45
  of forces, crushed and driven, scattered, fled. Friendly night and gathering
• 3:28:50
  darkness closed the slaughter of the day to their tents. The sons of Pantu
• 3:28:54
  held their sad and weary way cruse rooted by urchin, grieved at heart,
• 3:29:05
  the goody stir wept the losses of the day, sought the aid of gallant
• 3:29:09
  Krishna for the morning's fresh array. And when from the eastern mountains Suria drove
• 3:29:15
  his fiery car, Vishma and the helder Jin strove to turn the tide of
• 3:29:20
  war. Vishma's glorious palmedy standard over the field of battle rose Urgin's monkey standard
• 3:29:26
  glittered leaving through the sered foes. They was from their cloud born chariots and
• 3:29:33
  gundrbs from the sky, gazed in mute and speechless wonder on the humid chiefs
• 3:29:39
  from high while at dauntless valor urgent steel, the mighty vishmasad warlike Prince of
• 3:29:46
  fair Panchao, with the doughty Drona, fought ceaseless against a proud preceptor sent
• 3:29:52
  his dots like summer rain. Baffled by the skill of Drona tris dadimiya strove
• 3:29:58
  in vain. But the fiercer darts of Drona pierced the Prince's shattered mail,
• 3:30:03
  hardling on his battle chariot like an anglish hour of hail, And they ran
• 3:30:09
  in twain his bowstring, and they cut his ponderous maze. Sleevy steed,
• 3:30:13
  sent chariot driver streaked blood, his godlike face dauntless still Ponchaal's hero, springing
• 3:30:22
  from a shattered car like a hungry dagered lion with his zeber, rushed to
• 3:30:26
  war, dashed aside the darts of Drona with his broad and ample shield,
• 3:30:31
  with his saber brightly framing fiercely stroughted red and field in his fury and his
• 3:30:37
  rashness. He had fallen on that day. But the ever watchful Wema stopped
• 3:30:43
  a proud preceptor's way, proud drud and marked with tanger Vima rushing in his
• 3:30:48
  car, and he sent Kalinga's forces to the thickening ranks of war. Onward
• 3:30:54
  came Kalinga's warriors with the dark Tornado's smith duski Chee saves Nishad warriors, gloomy
• 3:31:01
  as the sable night rose, the shout of warring nations surging to the battle's
• 3:31:07
  fore like the angry voice of tempest and the ocean's troubled roar, unlike darkly
• 3:31:13
  rolling breakers, ranks of sered warriors flew scarcely in the thickning darkness. Friends
• 3:31:20
  and kin from form and Neil felt the young Prince of Kalinga by the wrathful
• 3:31:24
  Wema Slane, But against Kalinga's monarch, beffel Vema fought in vain, safely
• 3:31:31
  set the stern monarch on his howdah's lofty seat, till upon the giant tusker
• 3:31:37
  Fema sprang with a xile feet. Then he struck with fatal fury. Brave
• 3:31:43
  Kalinga fell in twain, scattered, fled his countless forces when they saw their
• 3:31:48
  leader slaying. Darkly rolled the tide of battle. When Tuddan's valiant son strove
• 3:31:54
  against the sun of a Jun famed for deeds of well or done out to
• 3:32:00
  you, then marked a contest with her father's enxious heart, came to save
• 3:32:05
  his gallant lushmen from braving by now start, and the helmutdwaring Urchin marked his
• 3:32:11
  son among his POWs, who from far his battle chariot and rated terrific rose
• 3:32:18
  Urjun. Urjun cried the Curus, and in panic broke and fled stead In
• 3:32:22
  Tasker turned from battle, Soldiers fell among the dead. Godlike Krishna drove the
• 3:32:28
  coursers of registless urgent scar and the sound of Urgin Sunkha rose above the cry
• 3:32:35
  of war, and the voice of his gandhip spread a terror far and near.
• 3:32:41
  Crushed and broken, faint and frightened fled the Curus in their fear onward
• 3:32:46
  steel through scattered foemen, conquering Arjun held his way till the evening's gathering darkness
• 3:32:52
  closed the action of the day Tree Vishma and urchin meat. Anxious was the
• 3:33:01
  proud Toruthan when the golden morning came, for before the cut of virgin fled,
• 3:33:07
  each Kuru chief of fame, brave Theruthan shook in anger, and the
• 3:33:11
  tremor moved his frame as he speak to ancient Vishma words of rats in bitter
• 3:33:16
  shame. Vishma, dost thou lead the Kurus in this battle's crimson field warlike
• 3:33:24
  drona dotty gordos, like a broad and ample shield. Wherefore then, before
• 3:33:30
  your urgin, do the valiant curus fly? Wherefore dot our leader linger when
• 3:33:35
  he hears the battle cry Dot a secret love for pandevs quell our leader's matchless
• 3:33:41
  might with a halting chill for curus dot, the noble Vishma five pardon chief,
• 3:33:48
  if for the pandavs dot they partial heart incline, yield my place.
• 3:33:54
  Let faithful Kurn lead my gallant Kuru. Line anger flamed on vishma forehead,
• 3:34:00
  and the tear was in his eye and in accents few and trembling. Thus
• 3:34:05
  the warrior made reply, vein our toil unwise, do you then, nor
• 3:34:09
  can wish my warrior old, nor can Drona's killed, the weapons her nature
• 3:34:15
  proud and bold, wash the stain of deeds unholy, and of wrongs and
• 3:34:20
  outraged laws. Conquer with a load of cunning against a right and righteous cause
• 3:34:26
  death to his dunes. Boys, do you then deaf to parents and to
• 3:34:30
  keen, Thou shalt paris in thy folly, in die unrepented scene, for
• 3:34:35
  the wrongs and insults suffered, UNTI good it is Teer's wife, for the
• 3:34:39
  kingdom from him stolen, for the plots against his life, for the dreadful
• 3:34:45
  oats of Viema, for the holy council given vainly given by Saint Lukrishna.
• 3:34:50
  Thou art doomed by righteous heaven. Meanwhile, since he leads thy forces,
• 3:34:56
  fishm steel shall meet his foe, or to conquer or to perish to the
• 3:35:01
  battle's front. I go speaking thus unto the battle, and send Vishmahuld his
• 3:35:07
  way, sweeping all before his chariot. As upon a previous day, and
• 3:35:13
  the army of witt Istir shook from and to far the stand urchin nor the
• 3:35:16
  valiant Krishna gout against the tight content. Cars were shattered, fled, the
• 3:35:22
  coursers, elephants were pierced and slain, shafts of chariots, broken standards,
• 3:35:28
  Lifeless soldiers strewed the plane. Coats of male were left by warriors as they
• 3:35:33
  ran with streaming hair. Soldiers fled like herds of cattle, stricken by sudden
• 3:35:39
  fear. Krishna, al Jun's chariot driver and the chief of Rtea's fame marked
• 3:35:46
  a broken pond of forces spake in grief and bitter shame. Urchin not in
• 3:35:52
  hour of battle had it been they want to fly forward, lay thy path
• 3:35:56
  of glory, or to conquer or to die? If to day with angry
• 3:36:01
  vishma Arjin chants the dubious fire, Shame on Krishna. If he joins thee
• 3:36:07
  in this sad inglorious flight, be it Minealono Urchin warriors wanted work to know
• 3:36:15
  Krishna. It is fiery discuss smites the all resistless foe. Then he flung
• 3:36:22
  the reins to Urchin, left the steeds and sounding car leaped upon the field
• 3:36:26
  of battle, rushed into the dreadful war. Shame, cried Urjun in his
• 3:36:31
  anger. Krishna shall not wage the fire, nor shall urjeun like a recream
• 3:36:37
  seek for safety in his flight, and he dashed behind the warrior, and
• 3:36:43
  on foot. The chief pursued, caught him as the angry Krishna steal his
• 3:36:46
  distant form and vewed stollard. Arjun lifted Krishna as the storm lifts up a
• 3:36:52
  tree, placed him on his battle chariot, and he bent to him his
• 3:36:56
  knee. Pardon Krishna, this compulsion, pardon, this transglas bold. But
• 3:37:03
  while a Jun leaves of chief dain weapon of Dirat, which told by my
• 3:37:09
  warlike a Vimnu fears of a drowsed darling boy by my brother's dearer truer tenen
• 3:37:15
  hours of pride and joy by my trots, I pledge Igrishna lets eye,
• 3:37:20
  angry, discuss sleep. Archedjun meets his foemen, and the spatted warld will
• 3:37:26
  keep forth. It rushed the Fiyachun in his sounding battle car and like waves
• 3:37:31
  before him parted serried ranks of hostile war vainly hurled his lungs, studio them
• 3:37:39
  against a variant warrior's face. Vainly Sailia, king of Madra tree would skill
• 3:37:43
  his ponderous maze with disdain. The godlike Achun dashed the feeble dots aside hold
• 3:37:50
  aloft his famed gandhib as he stood with half depride, beat up grum and
• 3:37:56
  blair of Sunka, and the thunder of his car and his weapon's fearful accents
• 3:38:01
  rose terrific near and far came registered spauned of forces sweeping onward, wave on
• 3:38:09
  wave, chades, machias and Panchada's chieftains true and warrior's brave onward too came
• 3:38:16
  forth to Curus by the matchless Vish Mahlad. Shouts arose and cry of anguish
• 3:38:22
  midst the dying and the dead. But the evening closed in darkness, and
• 3:38:28
  the night fires faithful flared, fainting troops and bleeding chieftains to their various tents
• 3:38:33
  repaired four to Thetan's brother slain dawned another day of battle. CRUs knew that
• 3:38:43
  day too well. Without queens of fair has Dinna wept before the evening fell,
• 3:38:48
  for as worrying of destruction we mus swept in mighty red broke the serried
• 3:38:54
  line of taskers, vainly sent to cross his path, smote yet and whiti
• 3:39:00
  his arrows, three terrific dirds and five smote proud Ceilia from the battle.
• 3:39:05
  Scarce the bore the chiefs alive. Then Duredan's porting brothers rushed into the dreadful
• 3:39:11
  fray. Fatal was the luckless moment, inauspicious was the day licked his mouth,
• 3:39:18
  the vengeful Wema, and they shook his bow and lands as the lion
• 3:39:22
  lolts his rattan when he see his prey advance, short and fierce. The
• 3:39:28
  furious combat, six peal princes torned and fled. Eight of proud Durudan's brothers
• 3:39:33
  fell and slumbered with the dead. Five sighed Tekey's son, slaying. Morning
• 3:39:43
  with her fiery radiance of the portals of the day shone once more on querew
• 3:39:48
  warriors bond of chiefs in dread array. Vima and the Galantachun led once more
• 3:39:54
  the van of war, But the proud preceptor Drona faced them in his sounding
• 3:39:58
  car steal with gallant son of Virgin Luxman strove with bow and shield, vainly
• 3:40:05
  strove His faithful henchmen bore him, pleading from the field. Lutschman, son
• 3:40:11
  of proud to Udan A vimenu Arguin's son doomed to die in ute and glory
• 3:40:16
  beneath the same revolving sun sat the day for Brishney warriors brave side Thicky's son
• 3:40:22
  submied against a cruel Vuristavas strove in unrelenting Five ten brave brothers Pride of Breshney
• 3:40:31
  fell upon that fatal day, slain by mighty Wuristravas, and upon the red
• 3:40:37
  field lay six we Mu's danger and rescue dawned another day of slaughter. Heathless
• 3:40:48
  Wema forced his way through Didenserrii legions who are darkdath and danger lay and the
• 3:40:54
  hundred foemen gathered and unequal was the strife we mustrove. Furious valor for his
• 3:41:01
  fore feet was his life fair. Panchaal's watchful monarch saw the danger from Afar
• 3:41:07
  forced his wayward. Bleeding Wema fought beside his shattered car, and he helped
• 3:41:13
  a fainting warrior placed him on his chariot seat. But the curus darkly gathered,
• 3:41:18
  surging round as water smeath Origin's son and twelve brave chieftains dashed into the
• 3:41:24
  dubious fray. Rescued Vema and proud Rupert from the Kurus green array surging steel.
• 3:41:33
  The Krew forces onward came with ceaseless mnd drown a smooth the scattered pandubs
• 3:41:39
  till the darksome hours of night seven pandubs, rooted by Vishma. Morning came,
• 3:41:48
  and angry June rushed into the dreadful war. Krishna drove his milk quiet
• 3:41:52
  coursers onward, flew his sounding car, and before his monkey banner quailed a
• 3:41:58
  face and frightened foes till next star on below ocean. Wishma's palm tree banner
• 3:42:05
  rose vainly. Then the good it is dear stalwart Vema urgent, brave strove
• 3:42:11
  with useless toil and valor, shattered ranks of war to save. Vainly toothed
• 3:42:18
  upon the brothers on the peerless Vishma fell gods in sky nor earthly warriors.
• 3:42:22
  Wishma's matchless might could quell fell It. Distre's lofty standard shook his chariot,
• 3:42:28
  battle tossed, felt his proud and fiery coursers, and the dreadful day was
• 3:42:33
  lost. Sadeban knuckle vainly strove with all their might till their broken, scattered
• 3:42:41
  forces rested in the shades of night. Eighth Iravat slain Dilton's brother slain Morning
• 3:42:52
  saw the turn of battle, Wishma's jerio tear was Lain and his coursers uncontrolled,
• 3:42:58
  flew across the reddened place ill it fared with Guru forces when their leader
• 3:43:03
  went astray, and their foremost chiefs and warriors with the dead and dying lay.
• 3:43:09
  But Gunhar's mounted princess rode across the battleground for its deeds and matchless churchers
• 3:43:16
  is Gunhar's realm, renowned and despite the young Yabbad fearce, Guannhar's princess swore
• 3:43:22
  brave Yabbad, son of a Jun whom a Naga princess bore mounted on their
• 3:43:28
  milk white churchers proudly did the princess sweep like the sea birds, scheming gaily
• 3:43:33
  over the bosom of the deep. Five of stout Guntar's princes in that fatal
• 3:43:39
  combat fell, and the sixth, in fear and faintness, fled theful tale
• 3:43:43
  to tell shortly. Aus Iabat's triumph transient was the victor's joy. Alumbasha,
• 3:43:50
  dark and dreadful came against the gallant boy. Fearce and faithful was the combat.
• 3:43:58
  Mournful is the tale to tell, Like a lotus rudely severed gallant son
• 3:44:03
  of Virgin fell Urgin heard the tale of sorrow, and his heart was filled
• 3:44:09
  with grief. Does he speak a father's sanguise? Faint? His accents few
• 3:44:13
  and brief? Wherefore Krishna four kingdom mingled in this fatal fray, kinsmen killed,
• 3:44:20
  and comrades slaughtered. Dear a last the price we pay wu unto Astina's
• 3:44:26
  empire built upon our children's grave, Tearer than the throne of monarchs, was
• 3:44:33
  itoveth young and brave, young in ears and rich in beauty, with thy
• 3:44:39
  mother's win some eye or does lay in my gallant warriar, and thy father
• 3:44:43
  was not nigh, but thy young blood calls for vengeance. Noble Krishna,
• 3:44:50
  drive a car, Let them fill the father's proise. Those who sleeve the
• 3:44:54
  son in oar and the dash that listening tear drop, and his words were
• 3:45:00
  few and brief, broken ranks and slaughtered chieftains spoke an angry father's grief.
• 3:45:07
  V Mathu revenged it Abad, and as onwards steel he flew brother sobbed the
• 3:45:11
  proud Dirudan. In that fatal combat, Sleeve still advanced the fatal carnage till
• 3:45:18
  the darksome close of day, Whan, the Undad and the Wari, with
• 3:45:22
  the dead and dying lay nine Pandas rooted by Vishma fell. The thickening shades
• 3:45:31
  of darkness on the red and ghastly plain torchesed by the white tents flickered red
• 3:45:37
  fire showed the countless lane with the bosom sorrow Leddin proud Urdan drew his breath,
• 3:45:43
  wept the issue of the battle, and his warlike brothers dead, spent
• 3:45:48
  with grief and silent sorrow slowed. The groom owner gwent where arose in dewey
• 3:45:54
  starlight, which most proud and snowy tent, and with tears and hands Gonja
• 3:46:00
  joined. Thus the said Dilitan spoke, and his mournful bitter accents oft by
• 3:46:05
  heaving sighs were broke. Wishma on thy matchless prois. Koru's hopes and fates
• 3:46:13
  depend gods nor man, which are like Vishma can in field of war,
• 3:46:16
  content brave in war, or sons of Pandu. But they face not Vishma's
• 3:46:24
  mind in their fears and aubtless hatred slay my brothers in the fire mind.
• 3:46:30
  I pledge o Chief of Curus, say Vastina's royal race on then sent King
• 3:46:35
  my father, grant the never failing grace. If within thy noble bosom pardon
• 3:46:43
  guell words, I say, secret love for sons of Pandu holds a soft
• 3:46:48
  and partial sway. If thy inner heart's affection anto Pandu's sons incline, grant
• 3:46:54
  that colonel laid my forces against a foeman's hostile line. Visma's heart was full
• 3:47:01
  of sadness, and his highlids dropped a tear. Soft and mournful were his
• 3:47:05
  accents, and his vision true and clear. Vain dogit in is dis contest,
• 3:47:13
  and thy mighty host his vain. Why which blood of friendly nations trains
• 3:47:18
  this red and reeking? Plain? They must win? Who strong in virtue
• 3:47:24
  fight for virtue, stainless laws terribly armed? A stallowed warrior who is armed
• 3:47:28
  in righteous cause? Think to you? Then one gunderves took the captive,
• 3:47:33
  and the slave didn't dugin ran thy fatters urchin righteous chief and brave. When
• 3:47:41
  in Machia's fields a pasture captured, we without skind didn't the June in his
• 3:47:46
  valor beat thy countless force and mind. Krishna now has come to Urchin.
• 3:47:52
  Krishna drives his battle car gls. Nor man can face these heroes in the
• 3:47:58
  field of righteous war ring frowns upon Dee do you then, and upon thy
• 3:48:03
  empire state, in thy pride and in thy folly, thou hast court at
• 3:48:09
  cruel faith. Wishma Steel will do his duty and his hand. It is
• 3:48:15
  not far then many other chieftains follow. Fatal is this school war down the
• 3:48:22
  day of mighty slaughter and of dread and deathfuloor an sient Vishma, in his
• 3:48:28
  anger, drove once more his sounding car morn to noon and noon's evening.
• 3:48:35
  None could face the victor's red broke and shattered. Faint and frightened. Bandus
• 3:48:41
  fled before his fat still amidst the dead and dying, moved his proud,
• 3:48:46
  resistless car till the gathering night and darkness closed the horrors of the war ten
• 3:48:54
  fall of Wishma Good. This deir gazed its sorrow on the dark and ghastly
• 3:49:01
  plain, shed his tears on chiefs and warriors by the matchless Wishma slay,
• 3:49:07
  veign this unavailing battle, vein this woful loss of life against the death,
• 3:49:13
  compelling Vishma hopeless in this artless strife. As a lordly taskar tramples on a
• 3:49:20
  marsh of feeble reads, as a forest conflagration on the porch tootland feeds.
• 3:49:26
  Vishma rides upon my warriors in his mighty battle. Car God nor mortal chief
• 3:49:31
  can face him in the gory field of war. Vain our toil and vain
• 3:49:37
  the valor of our Kinsmen loved and lost, vainly fight my faithful brothers by
• 3:49:43
  a luckless fortune. Crost nations pour their live blood vainly ceaseless weeks the sound
• 3:49:50
  of war. Krishna, stop this cruel carnage unto loots. Once more we
• 3:49:54
  go sad. They hold the ment counsel and the chiefs in silence meet and
• 3:50:03
  went to ensient Vishma love and mercy to Entriavee. Vishma loved the son Sapantu
• 3:50:09
  with a father's loving heart. But from trot unto the juden righteous Vishma would
• 3:50:15
  not part son Sapandu, said the chieftain Prince Durudan is my lord. Vishma
• 3:50:22
  is no faithless servant, nor will break his plighted word. Valiant aaryinable princess.
• 3:50:28
  But the chief is yet unborn. While I lead the course of battle,
• 3:50:33
  who the tidle war can turn? Listen more with vanquished foemen or who
• 3:50:39
  falls or takes to fight, cast his weapons, craves for marcy and send.
• 3:50:43
  Vishma doth not fight Fishma, doth not fight the rival who submits fatigue
• 3:50:50
  and warm. Fishma doth not fight the wounded, doth not fight the women
• 3:50:54
  born back unto their tents. The pandav starnt Krishna deep and wise, he
• 3:51:01
  unto the Ansia surgeon. Thus in solemn whisper cries Urchin, there is hope
• 3:51:07
  of trive. Has not faithful Vishma sworn he will fight known the warrior.
• 3:51:13
  He will fight. No woman born female child was brave. Secondly, Drupet's
• 3:51:20
  youngest son of pride. Gods have turned him to a warrior, placed him
• 3:51:24
  by Yudistr's side, place him in the Vanna battle. Mighty Vishma leaves the
• 3:51:30
  strife, turnut ease, we fight and conquer, and the forefeet is his
• 3:51:35
  life. Shame, exclaimed the angry Urchin. Not in secret heroes fight not
• 3:51:41
  behind the child a woman screen their valor and their mind Krishna loth his arched
• 3:51:48
  urchem to pursue this hateful strife trick against the seinless Vishma fraud upon his spotless
• 3:51:56
  life. Knowest thou good and noble Krishna. As a child I climbed his
• 3:52:01
  knee. As a boy I called him father, hung upon him lovingly.
• 3:52:07
  Paris's conquest dearly purchased by a mean, deceitful strife, paris crown and Jewel's
• 3:52:13
  scaptr one with Vishma's saintly life gravely answered, Noble Krishna. Vishma falls by
• 3:52:22
  close of day, victim to the cause of virtue. He himself had showed
• 3:52:26
  the way. Dear or hated b Theafoemena June, thou shalt fight and slay
• 3:52:33
  Wherefore else the blood of nations hast afford from day to day. Morning dawned
• 3:52:39
  and mighty Uchun of Whimen new young and bold drupet Monarchopanchal and bidout stern and
• 3:52:46
  old braved Is Tear and his brothers, clad in arms and shining mail,
• 3:52:52
  rushed to Oar where Wishma's stand, and gleamed and glittered in the gale,
• 3:52:56
  proud to it, and marked their onset and its fatal purpose. New and
• 3:53:01
  his bravest men and chieftains against a fiery pandav striew which composed a stalwart monarch
• 3:53:07
  and Ttrona's mighty son, a tavaliant bowman Creeper stemmed the battle still unwon,
• 3:53:15
  and his younger, fierce d Sassan, thirsting for the deathful war against the
• 3:53:20
  helmet dwaring Uchun drew his mighty battle car. As the high and rucked mountain
• 3:53:26
  meets the angry ocean's sway, proud Dusassan war to Turchun in his wild and
• 3:53:31
  onward way. And as myriad white winged sea birds swoop upon the darksome wave,
• 3:53:37
  clouds of dirts and glistening lances drank the red blood of the brave other
• 3:53:43
  warlike cour chieftains, came the bravest and the best dronahself and Wagadata, Monarch
• 3:53:48
  of the farthest East carbon Selia, mighty Warrior, King of Madra's distant land,
• 3:53:56
  Princess from Abundhi's regions, Chiefs from Mala's rocky strand jetdred matchless fighter,
• 3:54:03
  King of Sindhu's sounding shore, Chitrasena Anbikirt countless chiefs and warriors more and the
• 3:54:11
  face the fiery pandabs, peerless in their warlike might, long and dreadful reached
• 3:54:16
  a combat darkly closed the dubious fight. Thus they rose like clouds of summer,
• 3:54:22
  glistening dots like lightning play darksome grieved as sky with arrows ticker grewed a
• 3:54:28
  gloomy shade. Cars went down and mailed horsemen, soldiers fell in dread array.
• 3:54:35
  Elephants with white tasks broken and its mangled bodies lay Urgin and the stalwart
• 3:54:41
  Weama, piercing through their countless foes, side by side, impelled their chariots
• 3:54:48
  where the palmy standard rose. Where the peerless ancient Vishma, on the dark
• 3:54:54
  and fatal day, worrying with abandoned nations, still resistless, held his way
• 3:55:00
  on he came his palm tree standard, still the front of battle, knew
• 3:55:05
  and like sun from dark cloud's parting, Vishma pursed on Arjin's view, and
• 3:55:11
  his eyes brave virgin shaded at the all inspiring side. Half he wished to
• 3:55:16
  turn for shelter from the chief of god like mind, but bold Krishna drove
• 3:55:22
  his chariot, whispered unto him. His plan urgent placed the young Sikhondi in
• 3:55:28
  the deathful battle's van. Vishma viewed the bond of forces with a calm,
• 3:55:33
  unmoving face, saw not Aarjin's fair gandhib saw not Wema's mighty mace. Smiled
• 3:55:41
  to see the young Secondi rushing to the battle's fore like the foam upon the
• 3:55:46
  billow. When the mighty storm winds roar, Vishma thought of ward, he
• 3:55:52
  plighted, and the boat that he had sworn dropped his arms before the warrior,
• 3:55:56
  who was but a female born, and the standard, which no warrior
• 3:56:01
  ever saw in Bay's retreat, idly stood upon the chariot tree with shade on
• 3:56:07
  Vishma's seeth, and the flagstaff fell dishivered on the crushed and broken car as
• 3:56:13
  from majure sky of midnight falls the Mateor's flaming star not by young Sikhandi's arrows.
• 3:56:20
  Vishma's palm tary standard fell n Sikundi's feeble lances. Did the peerless Vishma
• 3:56:26
  quail true to oath. The bleeding chieftain turned his darkening face away, torned,
• 3:56:33
  and fell. The sun declining marked the closing of the day and the
• 3:56:39
  dust. The fatal battle truce came at the close of day Kuruz and the
• 3:56:43
  silent Panda suant where Vishma, dyeing lay Urgin wept as for a father weeps
• 3:56:50
  his sad and soaring son gooded his deer curs. The morning Kurukshetra's war begun,
• 3:56:56
  stood to Yodhanandi's brothers mantled with the gloom of grief. Foes, like
• 3:57:01
  laughing brothers, sorrowed round the great the dying chief, arguinskin and pointed arrows
• 3:57:09
  made the hero's dying bed, and in soft and gentle accents to Toyoden.
• 3:57:13
  Thus he said, listen unto my words, to euden atter to my latest
• 3:57:20
  breath, list to Vishma's dying counsel, and rever the voice of death and
• 3:57:26
  this dread and doubtful battle. If thy stony heart can grieve, save the
• 3:57:31
  chieftain's tomb to slaughter. Bid the fated nations leave round his kingdom. To
• 3:57:37
  it is his deer righteous men, beloved of Heaven, Keep dionas Dina's regions.
• 3:57:43
  Be the hapless past forgiven vain alas the voice of Vishma, like the
• 3:57:50
  voice of angels spoke hatred dearer than his lifeblood in the proud to you than
• 3:57:54
  woke darker greved a gloomy midnight, and the princes went their way on his
• 3:58:01

• 3:58:07
  Vishma, whilst the chieftain lived in fame. Gently to the dying Wishma in
• 3:58:13
  the midnight darkness came wish my heart, the tread of Kurn, and the
• 3:58:18
  optis glazing eye. Speak in love, and speak in sadness. And his
• 3:58:22
  bosom heaved a shy pride and envy. Noble Courn filled our warlike hearts with
• 3:58:31
  strife, discord ends with breath departing, and we sinks with fleeting life.
• 3:58:37
  More I have to tell thee Kern, but my parting breath may fail.
• 3:58:41
  Feeble are my dying accents, and my pouched leaves are pale urgent beats.
• 3:58:48
  Not Noblekurn in the deeds of well or done, nor excels in Bart and

• 3:59:00
  son inspired thy Bart god born man, no mighty archer dreads this broad and
• 3:59:05
  spacious art. Prita Kasti in her sorrow, he deed a maiden shame.
• 3:59:13
  And the driver not thy father, nursty chief of warlike faith Urginius, Thai
• 3:59:18
  Brader Kern, and this said fraternal war seek not lifeblood of Thai Brader,
• 3:59:26
  nor against him drive their car vain alas the voice of Vishma, like a
• 3:59:33
  heavenly warning, spoke hatred dearer than his lifeblood. In the vengeful Kern woke
• 3:59:41
  end of book eighth, Book nine Dronabad Fall of Drona. On the fall
• 3:59:50
  of Vishma, the Brahmu chief Dronah, preceptor of the Kuru and Panda princess,
• 3:59:56
  was appointed the leader of the Kuru forces. For five days, Dronah
• 4:00:01
  held his own against the Pandavs, and some of the incidents of these days,
• 4:00:05
  like the fall of a a Menu and the vengeance a virgin, are
• 4:00:09
  among the most steering passages in the epic. The description of the different standards
• 4:00:13
  of the Pandam and the Kuru warriors is also interesting. At last, Droonah
• 4:00:18
  slew his ancient foe, the king of the Panchals, and was then slain
• 4:00:22
  by his son the prince of the Panchaals. The book is an a Richmond
• 4:00:28
  of Book seven of the original text. One single combat between Wema and Celia
• 4:00:37
  Morning ushered in the battle won the warrior's hardly tread Drona pressed and proud preceptor.
• 4:00:45
  Now the Kuru forces led and the poe compelling Drona pledge distraughts and solemored.
• 4:00:52
  He would take it a steer captive to Hastina's hofty lord, but the
• 4:00:56
  ever faithful Virgin to his virtuous elder bow, and in clear and manful accents
• 4:01:03
  speak his warlike thoughts aloud. Sacred is our great preceptor. Sacred is a
• 4:01:09
  Charia's life. Urgin may not slay his teacher, even in this mortal strife.
• 4:01:15
  Saving this commands of Monarch Urgin's bow and warlick sword for thy safety,
• 4:01:20
  honored elder Urgent takes his plighted word matchless in the auto battle is our teacher
• 4:01:26
  fierce and dread, but he comes not to it histear save over blood of
• 4:01:31
  virgin shed Morning witnessed Dottie Drona foremost in the battle's tide, But it is
• 4:01:39
  Steers warlike chieftains compassed him on every side. Foremost of the youthful chieftains came
• 4:01:45
  registless. Urgent's son, father's blood and milk of Mader fired his deeds of
• 4:01:50
  wellor done. As the lion of the jungle drags the ox into his lair,
• 4:01:56
  Abi Menu from his chariot, dragged Powerba by the hair Cheddreth. King
• 4:02:03
  of Sindhu, marked a faint and bleeding chief, leaping from his car of
• 4:02:07
  battle, wrathful, came to his relief of Vimanu left his captive, turned
• 4:02:13
  upon the mightier foe and its sword, and hardened buckler gave and ferried many
• 4:02:18
  a blow. Rank to rank from both the forces. Cry of admiration rose,
• 4:02:24
  streaming men poured forte in wonder, watched the combat fierce and clothes piercing
• 4:02:31
  of ymn news. Buckler judged sent his stroke, but the torned and twisted
• 4:02:35
  sword blade snapping in the midway, broke weaponless. The King of Sindhu ran
• 4:02:41
  into his sheltering car. Celia came on to his rescue from a battlefield of
• 4:02:45
  fire, dauntless on the new assailant Urgin's son, his weapon drew, interposing
• 4:02:52
  in TwixT of fighters. We myself on Selia flu stout as wrestlers in the
• 4:02:58
  armies, peerless fighters, the Maize, Vema and the stalwart Celia stood a
• 4:03:03
  post face to face. Hamp unfastening bombed their maces, and the wire of
• 4:03:09
  twisted gold, whiling bright in circling flashes, shook their stuff. The warrior's
• 4:03:13
  billed off the truck, and sparks of red fire issued from the season out.
• 4:03:20
  Unlike horned bulls infuriate madras, King and Vema stood closer still. They
• 4:03:26
  came like tigers, closing with their reddened paws, or like taskers with their
• 4:03:31
  red dusks eagles with the randing claws loud as in drass peels of thunder steel.
• 4:03:37
  Their blows were echoed round rank to rank. The startled soldiers heard the
• 4:03:43
  oft repeated sound, but as strikes in vain the lightning on the solid mountain
• 4:03:48
  rock, Vema, not a fearless Celia, fell or moved beneath the shark
• 4:03:54
  closer drew the watchful heroes and their clubs were wielded well till by many blows
• 4:04:00
  belavered. Both the fainting fighters fell like a drunkard taste, and reeling Wema
• 4:04:05
  rose his toff to wield senseless celia, heavy breathing henchmen carried from the field,
• 4:04:13
  reading like a wounded serpent. Lifted from the field of war, he
• 4:04:16
  was carried by his soldiers to the shelter of his car. Droonah still would
• 4:04:22
  matchless prowse, would redeem his plighted word. Sought to take it his deer
• 4:04:26
  captive to douryoden Curu's lord Vainly. Then the twin born brothers came to cross
• 4:04:33
  the conqueror's path. Machies Lord bon Charles Monarch vainly faced him in his red
• 4:04:41
  rank to rank the criery sounded circling over the battlefield. Dronah takes it his
• 4:04:46
  deer captive with his weapons, sword and shield. Urgin heard the dreadful message,
• 4:04:52
  and in haste and fury came strove to save his king and elder and
• 4:04:56
  redeem his loyal fame. Speeding his milk, white coursers dashed into the teak
• 4:05:01
  of war, blew his shrill and dreaded Sunka drove his sounding battle car fiercer
• 4:05:09
  darker grew the battle one above the red and plain evening drew her peaceful mantle
• 4:05:15
  over the living and the slain two standards of the Pandavs. Morning came steal
• 4:05:24
  rounded his tear. Jonah led the gathering war Origin fought the Somer sub ducts
• 4:05:30
  in the battlefield Afar, but the Prince of Air Panchal marked his father's ancient
• 4:05:35
  foe and against a doughty Drona chasted in me your Banti's bow. But as
• 4:05:41
  dark some cloudy masses, angry gustus of storm divide through the scattered fainting foreman,
• 4:05:48
  Jonah drove his car in pride, steats went down and riven chariots.
• 4:05:52
  Young Panchaald torned and fled onward. Drove resistless Drona over the dying and the
• 4:05:58
  dead. One more Prince of Fair Panchal against a mighty Drona came and Sian
• 4:06:05
  feud ran in the red blood of Panchald. Chiefs of fame, fated dealt
• 4:06:11
  with reckless valor Steele. He fought his father's foe, fought and fell.
• 4:06:16
  Relentless Drona led their brave sade digit low surging steel like ocean's billows other pond.
• 4:06:22
  The warriors came to protect their virtuous monarch and redeem their ancient fame.
• 4:06:30
  Came in various battle chariots drawn by steeds of every hue. Various were the
• 4:06:35
  chieftain standards which the warring nations knew. Vima drove his tallart horses tinted like
• 4:06:41
  the dappled deer, grey and pigeon colored coursers bore Puanchyld's prince and peer horses

  battle, fled, and his warriors from fair hunger rested to the countless dead
• 4:08:22
  wild a tanger waggad at the monarch of the farthest East, which is still

  battle, while his rival vishmaled ancient hate and jealous anger clouded Kernes warlike heard,
• 4:09:15
  and while vishmald alllightly stumbled Kerne's bow and dowed. Now he marked with
• 4:09:20
  warriors, anguish all his comrades. Fled Afar and his poeman Urgun, sweeping
• 4:09:28
  over the red field of war. Hatred like a tongue of red, fire
• 4:09:33
  shot from Kern's flaming eye, and he sprang to meet his poemen, or
• 4:09:37
  to conquer, or to die. Fears and dubious was the battle. Answering
• 4:09:43
  clouds gaped back the din. Kern met his dearest woemen, n the last,
• 4:09:48
  his nearest kin Vima and Panchaal's warriors, and to Urgin's rescue came proud
• 4:09:56
  Dildon came to Kern, and fier sinduced king of Fame, fiercely raised the
• 4:10:03
  gory combat. When the night did shadows tree, you wounded men and bloodstained
• 4:10:07
  chieftains to their nightly tents with Trio three of Emenu's dead. Fatal was the
• 4:10:18
  blood red morning, purpling over the angry east, fatal day for of the
• 4:10:22
  menu, bravest warrior and the best Countless were the gallant chieftains, like the
• 4:10:28
  sands beside the sea. None not braver bosom battled none, no tens more
• 4:10:33
  stout and free, brief fellas Theirrhdian summers fairs of Vedra's gallant boy loved the

• 4:10:48
  sunlight winters, light of war too warly quenced Purelys, son of Purely Surgeon
• 4:10:54
  in the blood of women, drenched Drona on that fatal morning, ranged his
• 4:11:00
  dredful battle line in a circle darkly sprayed in where the chiefs with chiefs combine
• 4:11:07
  and the pandebs looked as pairing on the battle strat array, vainly strove to
• 4:11:11
  force a passage, vainly sought their onward way of Menu. Young and fiery
• 4:11:18
  dashed alone into the war, reckless to the shattered forces. All resistless drove
• 4:11:24
  his car elephants and crashing standards, nying steeds and warriors slain fell before the
• 4:11:31
  furious hero as he made a castly lane. Proud Ruden rushed to battle Strove
• 4:11:39
  to stop the turning tide, and his stoutest, truest warriors fought by proud
• 4:11:43
  to Urudan's side. Onward steel went a ver Menu Kurus drove and fought in
• 4:11:48
  vain. Backward reeled and fell to Uden, and his bravest chiefs were slain.
• 4:11:56
  Next came Celia, cardboard monarch against the young is less foe erst these
• 4:12:01
  fiery battle coursers, stretched his dread honoring bow. Onward steel went of Emenu.
• 4:12:07
  Celia strove and fought in vain, and his warriors took him, Pleading
• 4:12:13
  from the reddened battle plain. Next to Sussen, darkly lowering, thundered with
• 4:12:18
  his banded bow of Eumenu smiled to see him, kinsman and the dearest foe
• 4:12:26
  Art thou, he said of Emenu, known for cruel word and deed,
• 4:12:31
  impious in thy heart and purpose, base and rootless in thy greed. Didst
• 4:12:37
  thou with the false SACONI win a realm by low device, when his kingdom
• 4:12:41
  from it is dere by ignoble trick of the eyes. Didst thou in the
• 4:12:46
  council chamber with your insults, paul and Keen by her flowing raven dresses,
• 4:12:52
  dragged his tear stainless Queen, didst thou speak to warlike vema as thy serf
• 4:12:58
  and bound and slave wrong my father righte as surgeon, peerless prince and warrior,
• 4:13:03
  brave, Welcome, I have sought theophan wish to cross thy tainted pad
• 4:13:11
  Welcome, dearest of all victims to my norse and cherished rad reaped the meat
• 4:13:16
  of sin and insult, drawn out thy latest bread for able to queen Jopardy,
• 4:13:22
  impious prince, thy speedy, dead like a snake upon an antel onto
• 4:13:28
  Sassan's wicked heart fell tissing red and fury of in my new's fiery dirt from
• 4:13:35
  the loss of blood to Sassan fainted on his battle car. Kuru chieftains bore
• 4:13:41
  him senseless from the blood stained scene of war. Next, in claiming arms,
• 4:13:46
  a Cordred came the Riten's gallant son, proud and warlike as his father
• 4:13:52
  famed for deeds of valor, dane, young in years and rich in valor
• 4:13:58
  for alas he fought too well and before his weeping father, proud and gallant
• 4:14:03
  Lutchmen fell onward, steel went of Amenu. Midst the dying and the dead
• 4:14:09
  shook from rank to rank. The curus and their shattered army fled. Then
• 4:14:15
  the impious Jeddrath, king of Sindu's sounding shore, came fourteen unrighteous concert with
• 4:14:22
  six carborn warriors more darkly closed the fatal circle with the gulfing sergeous Moan,
• 4:14:28
  dauntless with the seven brief chieftains of Amnue fought alone, fell alas his peacock
• 4:14:35
  standard and his car was broken to a bow and sever ramped and shattered,
• 4:14:41
  and his faithful drivers lay heedless yet of death and danger misty with the loss
• 4:14:48
  of blood of Womanho wiped his forehead, gazed where dark hissed Foemen stood.
• 4:14:54
  Then with while despairing valor, flickering flame and closing life maize in hand,
• 4:15:01
  the heedless warrior rushed to empt the mortal Strive rushed upon his startled Foemen of
• 4:15:07
  Avenue fought and fell and his deeds to distant ages, birds and wandering minstrel's
• 4:15:11
  tail like a taskar of the forest. By surrounding hunters slain liked conjumming wildfire
• 4:15:20
  quanced upon the distant plain like a mountain, shaking tempest, spent in force
• 4:15:26
  and hushed and steel, like the red resplendent day God setting on the western
• 4:15:31
  heel, like the moon, serene and beauteous, quenched in eclipse, dark
• 4:15:35
  and pale, lifeless, lamberd of avenue. When the softened starlight fell done
• 4:15:43
  the day of death and slaughter, Darkening shadows close around. Wearied warriors seek
• 4:15:48
  for shelter on the vast and tented ground. Soldiers camp fires, brightly blazing
• 4:15:56
  tent lights shining from afar cast their feet, gleaming radiance on the carnage of
• 4:16:02
  the war Urchin from a field at distance, whereupon the day he fought with
• 4:16:07
  diver faithful Krishna. Now his nightly shelters are. Wherefore Krishna, uttered Urchin,
• 4:16:15
  Evil omens strike my eye, Thoughts of sadness fill my bosom, wake
• 4:16:21
  the long forgotten sigh. Wherefore voice of evening bugle speaks not on the battlefield
• 4:16:27
  marry counts, nor sounding trumpet music to the warrior's seal. Harp is hushed
• 4:16:33
  within the dark tents, and the voice of warlike song birds beside the evening
• 4:16:40
  camp fire. Tales of war do not prolong unitis tuer stamped is voiceless,
• 4:16:45
  and my brothers look so pale of human. You comes not joyous Krishna and
• 4:16:51
  desire to hail. A woman knows love and greeting, blessed like placings from
• 4:16:56
  above, fearsuvadra, joy and treasure, Urgent's pride and hope and love.
• 4:17:04
  Softly and with many tear drops, did the sad dis stirred teale. How
• 4:17:10
  in dreadful field of battle, gallant of you Minue fell, How the impious
• 4:17:15
  Jedrad fell on Urgune's youthful son, he with six proud grew chieftains of women
• 4:17:21
  all alone. How the young prince raft of weapon, and the brived of
• 4:17:26
  steed and car fell as false shattre. A warrior fighting on the field of
• 4:17:32
  war, Urgin heard the father's bosom felt a cruel, cureless wound. Brave
• 4:17:40
  and gallant boy, said Urgeum, and he sank upon the ground. Moments
• 4:17:45
  passed the voiceless sorrow and the speechless, bitter tear sobs within his mail Bosom
• 4:17:52
  smote the weeping listener's ear. Moments passed with rising anger, quivered Argine's siren
• 4:17:59
  frame of in my news, cruel martyr smote the father's heart to flame.
• 4:18:06
  Didst thou say that Sindhu's monarch on my woman new boar he alone and judderously
• 4:18:11
  with six marders? More, didst thou say the impious crews stooped unto this
• 4:18:18
  deed of shame, outrage on the laws of honor, stain not any warrior's
• 4:18:22
  fame, father's curse and warrior's hatred, sting them to their dying breath.
• 4:18:30
  For they feared my boy in battle, haunted him to cruel dead. Hear
• 4:18:34
  my vow, benign you diictir, hear me Christian nariteous lord Urgin's hands shall
• 4:18:41
  slay the slare urgent plights, his soul and mold. May I never reach
• 4:18:45
  the bright sky where the riteous fathers dwell. May I, with the darkest
• 4:18:51
  sceners, leave within the deepest hell with the man who slay their father's shed
• 4:18:56
  their loving mother's blood, stain the sacred bad of gurus, steal their gold
• 4:19:02
  and holy food, cherries, envy, cheat your kinsman, speak the low
• 4:19:07
  and dustred lie. If fear comes Tomorrow's sunset Jaddreath doth not die. Jedd
• 4:19:12
  Jedd dies tomorrow, victim to my vengeful liar argunels shall yield his weapons,
• 4:19:19
  perish on the flaming pyre. Softer tear drops wept a mother joyless was Suadra's
• 4:19:27
  life, Christna's fair and honored sister, Urgin's dear and loved wife. Doest
• 4:19:34
  a lie on field of battle, smear to dust and foremen's goore, child
• 4:19:40
  of light and love and sweetness, whom thy hapless mother bore, soft dyine
• 4:19:45
  eye as budding lotus, sweet and gentle was thy face. Ardo's soft eyes
• 4:19:52
  closed in slumber, faded in that peerless grace, and thy leams so young
• 4:19:57
  and tender on the bearerar to do delight, while the hungry jackal prowlet and
• 4:20:03
  the vulture flutters nigh. Golden jewels, grace, thy bosom, Jem's bedecked
• 4:20:10
  thy lofty crest dot, the crimson mark of Seber decorate that manly breast rend
• 4:20:18
  Suvadra's toni bosom with a mother's careless grief, Let her follow ver minue and
• 4:20:23
  in debt obtain relief. Art to me is void and cheerless, joyless in
• 4:20:30
  my heart and home dreary without of I Minue, is this weary world to
• 4:20:34
  rome, And oh cheerless is that young heart of in my news Prince's wife,
• 4:20:42
  What can said, suvadraufer to her joyous sunless life? Close our life
• 4:20:48
  in equal darkness for our day on art is done for our love and light
• 4:20:55
  and treasure of I Minue, dead and gone long, bewailed, anguished,
• 4:21:00
  murder, fair dropody to'er her hair my chest. Princess early widiowed, shed
• 4:21:07
  her young heart's blood in tear. Four standards of the Kurus are June's revenge
• 4:21:18
  morning from the face of battle, Night's depending caught in drew long and shrill,
• 4:21:23
  his sounding sunka thend the wrathful urgin bleue crews knew the vow of virgin,
• 4:21:30
  heard the Sunka's deathful blare as it rose above the rat field, trilled
• 4:21:34
  the startled morning air speed my Krishna, outspeaker Jem as he held alofty bow.
• 4:21:42
  For to day my task is dretful, cruel is my mighty vow.
• 4:21:48
  Fiery coursers urged by Krishna, flew with lightning's rapid course, dashing through the
• 4:21:53
  hostile warriors, and the serried crew force brave dumas and faced the hero.
• 4:22:00
  But he drove and fought in vain. Onward thundered urgent chariot over the dying
• 4:22:06
  and the slain fears the Sassan, which his taskers rushed into the final war.
• 4:22:12
  But the taskar's broken panic Onward s teale. When Arjun's car drown Aden
• 4:22:18
  the proud preceptor, Urgin's furious progress tape teardrops filled the eye of Virgin.
• 4:22:25
  As these gentle words he said, Pardon father, if thy pupil shouts to
• 4:22:30
  day, I offered war against his a vimanu slayer, Urgent speats his battle
• 4:22:36
  car, not against my great acharia. Is my wrathful bowstring drawn, not
• 4:22:42
  against the loved father fights a loving duty as son heavy on this bleeding bosom
• 4:22:48
  seats the darkening load of war, and an injured father's vengeance seeks the slaughtered
• 4:22:55
  hero's foe. Pardon then, if sorrowing Urgin seeks a far distant way,
• 4:23:00
  mighty is the vow of Virgin. Cruel is his task to day. Passing
• 4:23:07
  by the darty Drouna, Onward sped the fiery car through the broken line of
• 4:23:11
  warriors, through the shattered ranks of war Ungas, and the brave Galingas vainly
• 4:23:18
  crossed his wrathful way, proud aw on these from the regions where fair Jumbald's
• 4:23:22
  water stray famed Avon this faded princes vainly led their highland force fell beneath the
• 4:23:30
  rat of Virgin, said Nor stopped his onward course. Onward, steel,
• 4:23:36
  with speed of lightning thundered Urchin's battle car to the spot where Jadrath stood behind
• 4:23:41
  the ranks of war Now the sun from highest janet red and fiery radiance,
• 4:23:48
  length long and weary was the passage. Urgin's foaming steeds were spent. Urgin
• 4:23:56
  said, the faithful Krishna ardwus his die cruel quest. But by foaming Courser's
• 4:24:00
  falter underneath a moment's rest be it so? Brave Virgin answered, from our
• 4:24:08
  chariot, we alight rest a while they weary horses. Krishna I will watch

  the fire. Speaking Thus, the armed u jung lightly leaped upon the lee,
• 4:24:18
  stoodent, guarded to bow and arrow by the green and shady tree.
• 4:24:23
  Krishna groomed the jatted horses faint and feeble, rather to gore with a healing
• 4:24:29
  handed tan the wounds. The bleeding courser's bore watered them beside the river by
• 4:24:34
  the Jaffire's soft cares, gave unto them welcome fodder, gave unto them needful
• 4:24:41
  rest. Thus refreshed the noble coursers Krishna harness to the car, and the
• 4:24:47
  gleaming hal Legeon rushed once more into the war came on him the cool warriors
• 4:24:52
  darksome waves, succeeding wave standards decked with strange devices, streaming banners, reach
• 4:24:59
  and pray. Foremost was the glorious standard of Preceptor Drona's son, Lion's tale
• 4:25:07
  in golden brilliance on his battle jarget shorn. Oliphant's rope was current send,
• 4:25:12
  signed made of rich and burnished gold, and the bulbetack the standard of the
• 4:25:18
  bowman creep a bold piccock made of precious metal, dacked jewels, rich and
• 4:25:23
  rare. Pricessina's noble standard shown aloft, serene and fair plowshare of a golden
• 4:25:30
  lusser, shining like the radiant flame spoke the car of Mighty Celia madrasking of
• 4:25:37
  warlike fame, far and guarded well by chieftains shown the dazzling silver boar en
• 4:25:44
  signed proud of Jadrath, brought from Sindul's sounding shore. On the car of
• 4:25:49
  Somedata shown a stake of sacrifice, silver boar and golden parrots. These were
• 4:25:56
  Salua's proud device, last and brightest of the standards. On the Prince Studiotan's
• 4:26:03
  car. Lordly elephant in jewels proudly shown above the war nine heroic crew,
• 4:26:10
  chieftains, bravest warriors and the best league. I come to grapple Urgum and
• 4:26:15
  on faithful Krishna pressed urgent, swept like sweeping warlowind all resistless in his force,
• 4:26:22
  Satnavoe and Wagin combat held his ever onward course. For he sighted Jadred
• 4:26:30
  meets the circling chiefs of war against that warrior gream and silent Virgin drove his
• 4:26:36
  furious car. Now the day God rolled his chariot on the western clouds of
• 4:26:42
  flame. Kern self and five great chieftains round brave Jadreds came vainly strove the
• 4:26:51
  valiant Urchin struggling against the Kuru line, charged upon the peerless carn as he
• 4:26:56
  marked the day's decline. Krishna then a prayer whispered, came a friendly sable
• 4:27:03
  cloud, a veiled the red sun's dazzling brilliance in a dark and inkish shroud.
• 4:27:08
  Caurnandeemed the evening darkness now proclaimed the close of strife. Failing in his
• 4:27:14
  plighted promise, Urgin must surrender life, and his comrade chiefs, rejoicing slackened
• 4:27:21
  in their furious fight, Judget hailed it to gladness, thickening shades of welcome
• 4:27:26
  night. In that sad and fatal error did the coro chief's combine urgent,
• 4:27:33
  quick as bolt of lightning broke their roll unguarded line, like an onward sweeping
• 4:27:38
  wildfire, shooting forth its lolling tongue on the startled judged Urchin, in his
• 4:27:44
  fury flung shot the strife, as angry falcon swoops upon its helpless prey,
• 4:27:51
  urgent Spath's vengeful arrow and his poeman lifeless lay. Friendly winds removed the dark
• 4:27:56
  cloud from the reddening western hill, and the sun in crimson Lusser cast its
• 4:28:03
  fiery radiance teel Ere, the evening's mantling darkness fell over distant heel and playing
• 4:28:10
  proud. Duridan's many brothers wereby vengeful Fema slain and Duryodhan stung by sorrow,
• 4:28:18
  wasted, still unceasing fight in the teak and gathering darkness, tortuous lit the
• 4:28:22
  gloom of night. Kern, furious in his anger for his Jadreatha Slane and
• 4:28:30
  for brothers of Durutan, sleeping lifeless on the plane against the gallant son of
• 4:28:34
  Wema, drove his deep, resounding car and in gloom and midnight darkness waked
• 4:28:41
  the cause of the war. Wema's son brave Katutkat twice, proud Kurn's horses
• 4:28:47
  sleeve twice. The humble, steedless Curn from the dubious battle fleew came again.
• 4:28:53
  The fiery Curn. Vengeance flamed it in his heart like the midnight's lurid
• 4:29:00
  lightning spath his fell and fatal dart. Woeful was the hour of darkness.
• 4:29:06
  Luckless was the starry's way. Wema's son in Newton Valor, lifeless on the
• 4:29:11
  ratfield lay then was closed, the midnight battle silent shown the starry light.
• 4:29:18
  Wema knew nor rest nor slumber through the long and woful night. Five fall
• 4:29:25
  of drona Ere. The crimson morning glittered proud to it and sad at heart
• 4:29:32
  to the leader of the Kurus. Did his sorrows? Does impart sadly speech
• 4:29:37
  the contest? Drona on the battle's gory plain koruchiefs are teened and fallen,
• 4:29:44
  and my brothers mostly slaying. Can it be Obita brahmanas peerless in the art
• 4:29:51
  of war? Can it be that we shall falter while thou speedest the battle
• 4:29:55
  car Pandus sunser bad, thy pupils Urgin meets thee Not in fight none can
• 4:30:02
  face the greater Ajaria in his rat and warlike mind. Wherefore then in every
• 4:30:07
  battle are the cour chieftain slain? Wherefore lie my warlike brothers lifeless on the
• 4:30:14
  ghastly play? Is it that the faiths of battle against the Kuru house combined?
• 4:30:21
  Is it that thy heart's affection unto Pandu's sons incline, If thy secret
• 4:30:26
  love and mercy steal the sons of Pandu Clay yield thy place to gallant kern
• 4:30:32
  On, God's prince of warlike fame, answered Dronah, brief and wrathful,
• 4:30:38
  fair Gundhar's royal son rapist. All the gory harvest of thy sinful actions done
• 4:30:45
  cast no blame on eat presumption only warrior's fleecy hair, faithful unto death.
• 4:30:51
  Is Drona to his promise blighted fair? Ask thyself, o Prince, do
• 4:30:56
  you then bound by battle's sacred laws? Wherefore fight is not a turcheen for
• 4:31:02
  thy house and for thy cause? Asked the dark and deep Sacuni. Where
• 4:31:07
  is now his low device? Wherefore wills he not his weapon as he wills
• 4:31:12
  the load that dies? Asked the chief, who proudly boasted arched Urchin healed
• 4:31:18
  slay halmdurjon swais the battle. Whither now doth carne stay no the truth the
• 4:31:26
  gallandchen hath no peer on art below, and no warrior breeds. Do you
• 4:31:30
  then, who can face thy helmed foe? Dronah knows his sacred duty and
• 4:31:37
  it is wild by heaven on high Urchin or Preceptor Drona, shall in this
• 4:31:41
  day's battle die? Now? The sun in crimson splendor, rolled his car
• 4:31:48
  of listening gold, sent his shafts of purple radiance on the plain and mountain
• 4:31:53
  bold, and from elephant and churchier, from each bravely bannered car lighted male
• 4:32:00
  kings and chieftains and leaders of the war face the son with hands conjoined,
• 4:32:06
  and the sacred mantra told hymns by unsentry, she is chanted, sanctified by
• 4:32:11
  birds of old worship done, Each silent warrior mounts the car or battle steed
• 4:32:18
  onward to the deathful contest. Did his gallant forces lead ill it it fair
• 4:32:25
  with found the forces thought it drown atook the field peer was none midst living
• 4:32:30
  warriors of the Brahman trained and scaled Urjun, Faithful to his promise, his
• 4:32:37
  preceptor would not fight King, nor chief nor other archer dared to face his
• 4:32:41
  fearless mnd. But old field like potent poison fires the warrior's heart with strife,
• 4:32:49
  sire to son, still unforgotten, leaves the het from death to life.
• 4:32:56
  Wrathful Princess of Panchal by their deathless hatreds soder and sent foe in Drona
• 4:33:02
  and on him for vengeance sprung darkly, taught, dense and warrior of the
• 4:33:07
  old relentless field fiercely like a jungle tiger, fell upon the hostile brood.
• 4:33:15
  Royal Rupert's valiant grandsons in their youth, untimely slain victims of a doubtless discord,
• 4:33:22
  pressed the gory battle playing Drupert, pale with grief and anger, marked
• 4:33:27
  his gallant grandson's dead, and his army broken rooted, and his bravest chieftains
• 4:33:33
  fled, filled with unforgoten hatred and his father's grief and pride, rushed the
• 4:33:40
  king and bold Birad charged by Dotty Rupert's side, rose a cry of nameless
• 4:33:45
  terror over the red and ghastly plain Noble Rupet brave dad Clay among the countless
• 4:33:52
  Slane. Burning tears, the proud Ropardy wept for noble father killed, made
• 4:33:59
  in mattre with their wailing fair Puanchal's empire field, much as joyless wid old
• 4:34:06
  Princess, for her fate was hourly crossed, wept to tad the tears and
• 4:34:10
  anguish for her father loved and lost, which the war with fearful slaughter.
• 4:34:17
  Drona onward oursed his way fate alone, and battle's chuanches changed the fortunes of
• 4:34:22
  the day. As'twama, son of Drona, was a chief of peerless fame
• 4:34:29
  and an elephant of battle, bore the chieftain's warlike name, and that proud
• 4:34:33
  and lordly taskar Wema in his prowess sleeo rank to rank, from friend to
• 4:34:38
  women. Then gurbled Massa's fleo Osatoma, son of Dronah, is by mighty
• 4:34:45
  Wema Slane. Dronah heard that fatal message, bent his anguished head in pain.
• 4:34:52
  Speak it is dear soul of virtue. Thus the proud Preceptor cried,
• 4:34:56
  Thou in truth hast never faltered, and the leaves have never lied. Speak
• 4:35:02
  of valiant Asatoma Jonah's hope and pride and joy had he fallen in this battle,
• 4:35:07
  easy slain, my gallant boy. Feeble are the hands of Ronah and
• 4:35:12
  his prowess quenched and gone fleecy or his ancient dresses, and his earthly task
• 4:35:18
  is done? Said it is dere lordly taskar a Satama named is dead.
• 4:35:25
  Jonah heard, but half the accents feebly drooped his sinking head. Then the
• 4:35:30
  Prince of fair Panchal swiftly drove across the plain, marked his father's cruel slayer,
• 4:35:37
  marked his noble father, slaying Tristadimiya bound his weapon and his shaft was
• 4:35:42
  pointed well, and the prist and proud preceptor peerless Droonah lifeless fell, and
• 4:35:49
  the fatal day was ended Korus fled in abject fear, urging for his ancient
• 4:35:56
  teacher, dropped a silent filial tear, and of book nine, Book ten
• 4:36:04
  Kernbud Fall of Kern. Kern was chosen as the leader of the Kuru forces
• 4:36:11
  after the death of Drona and held his own for two days. The great
• 4:36:15
  contest between Kern and Urchum, long expected and long effort, came on at
• 4:36:19
  last. It is the crowning incident of the Indian Epic, as the contest
• 4:36:25
  between Hector and Nicholas is the crowning incident of the Iliad. With a truer
• 4:36:30
  artistic skill than that of Homer. The Indian poetry presents Kern as equal to
• 4:36:33
  Urchin in strength and scale, and his defeat is only due to an accident.
• 4:36:40
  After the death of Kern, Celia led the Kuru troops on the eighteenth
• 4:36:42
  and last day of the war and fell a midnight slaughter in the Pandab camp,
• 4:36:48
  perpetrated by the bengeful son of Drona, concludes the Oar Duryodhan, left
• 4:36:55
  to dead by Wema, heard of the slaughter and died happy. Books eight,
• 4:37:00
  eight, nine, and ten of the original have been appreached in this
• 4:37:03
  book one Kern and djunmeat. Sights of red and ghastly carnage they disclosed upon
• 4:37:12
  the plain. Mighty chiefs and countless warriors round the warlike drona slade, said
• 4:37:18
  Dourudan, gazed in sorrow, and the tear was in his eye till his
• 4:37:23
  glances fell on Kern, and his warlike heart beat high. Kern, so
• 4:37:29
  exclaimed Duriotan, he rove a registless smile. Tau alone can serve the Kuru
• 4:37:34
  in this dread and dubious five. Step forward, Kuru chief and leader mount
• 4:37:41
  a sounding battle car lead the still unconquered Kurus to the trophies of the war.
• 4:37:48
  Matchless was then sient Vishma in this famed and warlike land, But a
• 4:37:52
  weakness, for it is here palsied Wismau's laying hand. Matchless two was doughty
• 4:37:57
  Drona in the warrior's kiel and art kindness for his Peopila June locked within the
• 4:38:03
  teacher's heart, greater than the ancient grandsire, greater than the Brahman, Old,
• 4:38:10
  fiercer in thy deathless hatred, stronger in thy prowess, bold, peerless,
• 4:38:15
  cairn leaders onward to a brighter, happier faith for thy armies, not
• 4:38:21
  to action by an unforgotten hate. Leaders. As the marcials Gunda led,
• 4:38:26
  the conquering gods of old smite the foe, as angry Indra smote the danubs
• 4:38:32
  fierce and bold, as before the light of morning flies the baleful gloom of
• 4:38:37
  night pondups and the proud panchilds fly before they conquering mind Priests with teams enchanted
• 4:38:45
  mantra and with every sacred rite, hailed him leader of the curus, chieftain
• 4:38:51
  of unconquered mind artengers. The placed around him with the sacred waterfool elephants,
• 4:38:57
  dusk delayed beside him, and the horn of mighty bull jem and jewel,
• 4:39:03
  corn and produce by the armed hero laid silken cloth of finest lusture over his
• 4:39:08
  crest that had the sprayed Brahmans poured the holy water board his lofty praises,
• 4:39:14
  sun chetrias vacias Pya Sutras hailed him leader, bold and strong, vanquished Warlexans
• 4:39:22
  of Pritha. Thus the holy Brahman's blessed golden garments, food and cattle,
• 4:39:27
  joyous kern on them pressed Thus the holy Rite concluded, conranged his man in
• 4:39:33
  Oar to the dreaded front of battle, drove his swift and conquering car Born
• 4:39:40
  to noon, and noon to evening, rached the battle on the plain.
• 4:39:44
  Countless warriors fought and perished. Carborn chiefs were pierced and slain. Halder Jun
• 4:39:51
  crested, Kern met at last by will of faith. Life long was their
• 4:39:55
  mutual anger, deathless was their mutual hate. And the our march shook and
• 4:40:00
  trembled beneath the furious russh of war, and the kingwalkin answered shouts that nation's
• 4:40:06
  heart from far, and the thickening cloud of arrows filled the farmament on high.
• 4:40:11
  Darker, deeper, dread and deadlier grew the angry face of sky till
• 4:40:18
  the evening sable garment mantled over the battlefield, and the angry rivals parted.
• 4:40:22
  Neither chief could win nor yield two fall of corn. At the break of
• 4:40:32
  morning, Kern unto Prince Studioth and went dozen slow and mejured accents to his
• 4:40:37
  inner thoughts, gave vent morning dawn. So Koru's monarch, Mighty Urgin,
• 4:40:42
  shall be slain or fulfilling warrior's duty karnandes the gory plane long till life within
• 4:40:51
  ower bosoms ever burnt d Mutual hate often met and often parted, rescued by
• 4:40:56
  the wing of faith. But the un which Creamson Lusser seizes met to part
• 4:41:03
  no more gallant Algine's course this evening, our proud currents shall be over.
• 4:41:08
  Room is none for Urgent's glory and for archer Current's fame. One must sink,
• 4:41:15
  and one must sparkle with a brighter, richer flame list yet more.
• 4:41:21
  In wealth of arrows and in wondrous strength of beaux, Argent scarcely may surpass
• 4:41:25
  it, scarcely excel my foe. In the light scale of the archer,
• 4:41:30
  and in sight and truth of aim, Argent beats not scarcely rivals Currn's proud
• 4:41:36
  and peerless fame. If his wondrous Bogandib is the gift of God's in heaven,
• 4:41:42
  Karn' spot of famed prige is by Persudham given Ay, the son of
• 4:41:48
  Jamadaghni, Kings of Art, who proudly slaid on the youthful arms of Kern,
• 4:41:53
  his destructive weapon laid Yet I own o king of Kuru. Urgent doth
• 4:42:00
  his foe excel matchless are his fiery coursers peerless. Krishna leads them well.
• 4:42:07
  Krishna holds the reins for jun Christna speeds his battle car, drives the lightning
• 4:42:14
  winged coursers over the startled field of war, sweeps in pride his sounding chariot
• 4:42:19
  till it almost seems to fly. Urgin louds it over the battle like the
• 4:42:25
  comet in the sky. Grant me monarch, mighty Zelie, drive my swift
• 4:42:30
  and warlick steed and against a carbon urchin. Kern's fiery chariot leave Seleetiu is
• 4:42:37
  killed like Krishna with the steed and battle car equal dos I meet my foeman
• 4:42:44
  in this last unfatal war spake Buruden warleach Celia mounted Kern's sounding car. Khn
• 4:42:52
  sought for m Turchin in the serrid ranks of war hundred milch kind Karn offers
• 4:43:00
  costly garments, yellow gold unto him who in this battle points to me my

  forem in bold cars and steets and watleechers, peaceful hamlets, rich and fair,
• 4:43:11
  dark eyed damsels, lotus bosomed, crowned, glossy raven hair. These
• 4:43:18
  are his who points to kern Urchin, hiding from this war, Argin Snowy's
• 4:43:22
  teats and banner and his swift and thundering car. Kernes spake but long and
• 4:43:30
  loudly loved the king of Madra's land. As he reined the fiery coursers with
• 4:43:34
  his strong and skillful hand of rewards and gifts. He attered little need is
• 4:43:41
  dare I win? Argin is not wont to tarry from the battle's glorious scene.
• 4:43:47
  Soon will Urgin Snowy coursers shake the battle startled field haln durchun like a
• 4:43:52
  comet gleam ath bow and sword and shield. As the forest ranging tiger springs
• 4:43:59
  upon his faded, as the haunted bull Infuriat dodts the weakling cattle sleigh,
• 4:44:06
  as the fears and lordly lion smites the timid jungle. Dear urgent, soon
• 4:44:11
  shall spring upon tee, for he knows, nor read nor fear. Save
• 4:44:15
  thee. Then, O mighty archer, while I drive my sounding car.
• 4:44:19
  Panda's son had met no echo in the valiant art of war. Darkly frowned,
• 4:44:26
  the angry curn Celiah held the loosened rain, dashing through the hostile forces
• 4:44:32
  Then the warrior sped a man through the serried ranks of battle. Kern drove
• 4:44:37
  in furious mood, facing him in royal spander, gilded stir, fearless toot,
• 4:44:45
  Surging ranks of bravenishads closed between and fought in vain proud panchad stout and
• 4:44:51
  faithful, vainly strove among the sleigh. Onward came the fiery curn, like
• 4:44:56
  the ocean's heaving swell, with the sweeping rathap tempest on the good it.
• 4:45:00
  His tear fell wrathful. Then the son of Pandu marked his noble chief dain
• 4:45:07
  instead, and in words of scornful anger. Thus do archer Kurrn said,
• 4:45:12
  hast, Thou Kern vowed the slaughter of my younger, urging brave wilt Thou
• 4:45:18
  do Duridan's mandate, proud Duriitan, swilling slave. Unfulfilled, thy vow remained
• 4:45:25
  for the righteous gods all dame by it his dear's hand. Thou fallest go
• 4:45:30
  and slumber with the slain fiercely drew his boetiestre. Fiercely was the arrow driven
• 4:45:37
  rockically for solid mountain. Might the shaft have pierced and riven lightning like it
• 4:45:44
  came on Kern struck and pierced him on the left, and the warrior fell
• 4:45:48
  and fainted, as of life and sense bereft. Soon he rose, the
• 4:45:53
  cloud of anger darkened over his livid face, and he drew his godlike weapon
• 4:45:59
  with a moldern human grace, arrow skin and dark as midnight, claiming in
• 4:46:03
  their lightning flight, struck it his disroyal armor with a fierce, resistless might,
• 4:46:11
  clanking, fell a shattered armor from his parson, fair and pale as
• 4:46:15
  from sans merinum splendor, clouds adrifted by the gale, armorless but bright and
• 4:46:22
  radiant, brave it his tear vegeta fight bright a sky with starsby spangled on
• 4:46:26
  a clear and cloudless night, and he threw his pointed lances like the summer's
• 4:46:33
  bursting flood. Once again it his deer's weapons, drank, his fiery foeman's
• 4:46:37
  blood fell with anguish, wrathful curn fiercely turned the tide of war cut it
• 4:46:44
  his TIR's royal standard, crashed his sumptuous battle car, and heorsed his gallant
• 4:46:49
  coursers til his chariot bounding flew and much more than godlike proyise than his famed
• 4:46:56
  Beja drew fainted, his dear sorely bleed, waged no more to fatal fight.
• 4:47:02
  Carless, steedless, void of armor, sought his safety in his flight
• 4:47:07
  speed doubt himid man of pennance, proud insulting Karan said, famed for virtue,
• 4:47:12
  not for valor, blood of dye, I will not shed speed at
• 4:47:17
  Gant. I wanted mantra to the rights that says es no, but the
• 4:47:22
  hound warriored urchin calm and meet his warlike foe to his tent retired histir in
• 4:47:29
  his rat and in his shame, spake to Urgin, who from brattle to
• 4:47:33
  his angry elder, came as thou yet tardy Urchin baths insulting Karn slain Carn,
• 4:47:41
  dealing their destruction on these battles, red and plain, like his teacher,
• 4:47:45
  Persudam dies in purple blood his course like a snake of deathful poison.
• 4:47:51
  Karn guards the crew force. Kern smote my chariot driver and my standard rant
• 4:47:56
  into ain, shattered Karan lifely horses strewd a red ginglorious plain scars with life,
• 4:48:03
  in speechless anguish, from the battlefield, I fled scorn of foes and
• 4:48:08
  shame of kinsmen, warrior's fame and honor dead them long ears and tree yid
• 4:48:15
  his tear, joy nor peace nor rest had seen. And while Kern leaves
• 4:48:21
  and glories all our insults steel are green, has doulgeun slain the chieftain,
• 4:48:27
  as in swelling pride, he stood hast wiped our wrongs and insults in that
• 4:48:32
  cheriot driver's blood at the distance, Krishnan answered, fiery Urgin fought his way.
• 4:48:40
  Now he meets the archer Kern and evows his death today angrily to his
• 4:48:45
  tears forehead, and the tremor shook his frame as he speake to silent urchin
• 4:48:51
  words of insult and of shame. Wherefore, like a painted warrior, dot
• 4:48:56
  the helm virgeon stand. Wherefore useless lies gandhib in his weak and nerveless hand.
• 4:49:03
  Wherefore hangs the a mighty saber from his belt of silk and gold.
• 4:49:08
  Wherefore dots a peerless Krishna drive his courser's fleet and bold if afar from Warsarena.
• 4:49:15
  Timid urgent seeks to hide if he shuns the mighty carn battling in unconquered
• 4:49:22
  pride, urgin, heal thy famed gandhib unto ward your hands than thye on
• 4:49:29
  some braver, truer warrior, late thy mighty standard shine, Heal thy helmet
• 4:49:34
  and thy armor. Heal thy gleaming sword and shield hide. Die from this
• 4:49:38
  doubtful battle. Magicless carn rules the field sparkled Urgent's eye in anger with a
• 4:49:47
  red and livid flame, and the tempest of his passion shook his more than
• 4:49:51
  mortal frame. Heedless on the sword hilt, Urgent paced his swift and trembling
• 4:49:56
  hand, heedless with a word, your instinct drew the dark and glistening brand.

  pardon, great and saintly monarch vessel's disrespectful world. Pardon elder, if a

  Pardon if the blood of anger mantled over this rugged brow. Pardon if I

  and he lifts his younger brother to his ever loving heart, Urgent, I
• 4:52:02
  have wronged dee brother, and no falter or sin is dying. Has the
• 4:52:07
  wots of thoughtless anger escaped these sinful leaps of mine. Bitter was my shame
• 4:52:12
  and anguish when from Kern's car I fled radder than my bleeding bosom warrior's fame
• 4:52:18
  and honor bled. Has the warts I uttered Urchin by my pain and anguish
• 4:52:23
  driven wipe them with a brother's kindness. Be thy elders, sin forgiven stronger
• 4:52:30
  by his elder's blessing. Urgent mounts the battle car. Krishna drives them mill
• 4:52:36
  quiet coursers to the thickening ranks of war. Onward came the fiery Kurn with
• 4:52:41
  his chiefs and armed men, Sali Orgedy's flying coursers with the whip and loosen
• 4:52:47
  rain, often met and often parted lifelong rivals in their fame, not to
• 4:52:53
  part again. The heroes each until the other came, not to part on
• 4:53:00
  till a chieftain by the other chief was slain, Argent, dead or lifeless.
• 4:53:03
  Curn pressed the Kurukshetra plain. Long they strove, but neither Archer could
• 4:53:10
  his gallant foeman beat till like surging ocean billows, the dangry warrior's meat.
• 4:53:17
  Argent's arrows fell on cern like the smer's angry flood. Kern's shafts, like
• 4:53:22
  hissing serpents, drank the valiant Urgent's blood fierce and quick from his gandhib angry
• 4:53:29
  action. Surgent walk till the bowstring strained and heated was by sudden impulse broke
• 4:53:36
  Hold, cried Argin to his rival mind the honored rules of war warriors strike

  man's's overstrained bow. Argent Danuel grave for Marcy, nor from God, nor
• 4:53:52
  mortal foe vain. He spoke for a while to anger, heedless curn fiercely
• 4:53:59
  low, thick and fastened bowless Urgent, countless arrows, darkly showered like the
• 4:54:06
  cobra, dark and hissing carn. Sleaming lightning dart struck the helpless archer Reurgin
• 4:54:11
  on his broad and bleeding heart, furious like a wounded tiger, quivering in
• 4:54:15
  the dark summood with his manted d warlike weapon. Now the angry Urgent stood,
• 4:54:22
  blazing with a mighty radiance like a flame in summer night. Fierce he
• 4:54:26
  fell on archer Curn, with his more and mortal might little recked the dauntless
• 4:54:30
  Curn. If his foe in anger rose Corn feared not face of mortal dreaded
• 4:54:36
  not immortal foes, nor with all his rat and valor urgent conquered him in
• 4:54:41
  war. Till within the soft art, sinking stuck the whill of current scar
• 4:54:48
  stood unmoved, the tilted chariot vainly, wrathful Ceila strove urging steeled the struggling
• 4:54:55
  coursers Curn Savy card to move vainly to the gallant cur leaped upon the humid
• 4:55:00
  soil, sought to lift the sunken axle with a hard unwonted toil hold.
• 4:55:07
  He cried to noble legend, wage of false or impious war on a foeman,
• 4:55:14
  helpless, corless, Thou upon thy lofty car loudly laughed, da Helm
• 4:55:19
  Legeon answered, nor rejoinder gave unto karnel pleading virtue Christian answered, calm and

  grave, didst thou seek the paths of virtue? Mighty Kerne Archer Bold,
• 4:55:33
  when Secundi robbed the distr of his empire and his gold. Didst thou at
• 4:55:37
  the paths of honor on Itastre's fatal fall, heaping itselts on jopardy in Hastina's
• 4:55:44
  council hall. Didst thou then fulfill thy duty? When it IST's exiled crossed,
• 4:55:51
  Krishna asked in writing justice for it Istre's empire lost. Didst thou fight
• 4:55:56
  a holy battle when it sixs marrouder scaled? Corn hunted of his menu,
• 4:56:00
  and the haightful hero killed. Speak not then of rules of honor? Blackened
• 4:56:07
  in your scenes, you die? Death is common shape of virgin Corn's fatal
• 4:56:11
  hour is nigh, stung to fury and to madness, faint but frantic.
• 4:56:18
  Corn fought, reckless, rootless and relentless. Valiant Urchin's life he sought,
• 4:56:25
  sent his lust resist less arrow on his foeman's mighty chest. Urgent felt a
• 4:56:30
  shock of thunder on his broad and mailed breast. Fainting fell the bleeding urchun
• 4:56:37
  darkness deemed his manly eye fell, and breathless watched his warriors, anxious,
• 4:56:41
  watched the gods in sky. Then it passed, and helm Durchin rose like
• 4:56:48
  a newly lighted fire of you my new said remembrance kindled fresh a father sire,
• 4:56:55
  and he drew his bow. Gandeep aimed his dough with stiffled bread,

  vengeans for his murdered hero, wing the fatal dart of dead, like the

  fiery bolt of lightning argents leury darrow'spad, like the red and flaming Matti,

• 4:57:29
  ray bow and brave and proud preceptor creep out the dutid and said tear bedimmed
• 4:57:37
  the warrior Silens and his manly bosom blood leaderless. The crew forces by a
• 4:57:44
  dire misfortune, crossed like the moonlight shades of midnight in their outer darkness,
• 4:57:49
  lost like a summer dried river where he wasted. The varied sand lost its
• 4:57:56
  bride of freshening waters, sweeping over the grateful land as a spark of fire.
• 4:58:02
  Conjumit Summer's podged and sapless wood cruise. Lordless lifeless forces shall be angry

  had good to distir steal. He seeks for rightful peace, render back his
• 4:58:47
  ancient kingdom. Bid this war of kinsmen seas creeper, So Dourotan answered in
• 4:58:55
  this sad and fatal strife. Ever foremost of our warriors ever careless of thy
• 4:59:00
  life. Ever in the council chamber, thou hast words of wisdom said needless
• 4:59:07
  war, and their destruction by thy peaceful counsel state. Every word that escips
• 4:59:12
  de creeper is a word of truth and weight net less. Thy advice for
• 4:59:18
  conquer wise preceptor comes too late. Hope not that the good it is to

  rule again. Our friendship owne cheated once by deep Seconi of his kingdom,
• 4:59:30
  and is throne rugged. Wemau will not falter fatalist. The vow he made
• 4:59:37
  vngeful urgin will not pardon Gallant of Vim no dead fair dropody dot her penance.
• 4:59:44
  So our ancient matrons say in our blood to wash her insult and her
• 4:59:48
  proud insulted sleigh fair soveder born and evening weeps her dear departed son. Feats
• 4:59:56
  dropped is deathless anger for the hero dead and God deeply in their bosoms rankle
• 5:00:03
  wrongs and insults. We have given blood alone can wash it. Creeper such
• 5:00:07
  the cruel will of heaven, and the hour for peace is over. For
• 5:00:15
  our best sleep on the plain, brothers, kinsmen, friends and elders slumber
• 5:00:21
  with the countless slave. Shall Dourdan, like a recreant, now avoid the
• 5:00:26
  deathful strife? After all his bravest warriors, having war surrendered life. Shall
• 5:00:33
  he sending them to slaughter, now survive and learn to flee. Shall he,
• 5:00:38
  ruler over monarchs, learn to ban the servile name proud Douridan soothe no
• 5:00:45
  favor, even it is dying bread, unsubdued, and still unconquered, changeless,
• 5:00:52
  even unto death. Celia, Valiant, King of Madra, leads our
• 5:00:57
  armed hosts to day to Paris, or to conquer. Gallant creeper lead the
• 5:01:03
  way. Meanwhile, round the bravit Histure calmly stood upon the force, as
• 5:01:08
  the final day of battle now began its fatal course. Brothers, kinsmen,
• 5:01:15
  hero warriors. So the good diister said, ye have done your share in
• 5:01:19
  battle, witness countless. Foreman dead said it is to is our eldest.
• 5:01:26
  Let him nd this fatal strife. Slay the lust of Guru chieftains, or
• 5:01:30
  surrender thrown in life. Both said, Tickie ever faithful with his arms,
• 5:01:37

• 5:01:44
  in the front, dot vima battle careful, urgent God's the rear. I
• 5:01:48
  will lead the battle center, which shall know nor flight nor fear truly.
• 5:01:55
  On that fatal morning, bravityes Tear kept his word long and fear sluaged the
• 5:02:00
  combat with fair Madra's valiant lord. Thick and faster, arrow swhistled, and
• 5:02:07
  the lances pointed well, crashing with the sound of thunder, Celia's mighty standard
• 5:02:11
  fell, rescued by the son of Drona. Celia rushed again to war slew
• 5:02:18
  the noble milk, white coursers of id Istri's royal car and as prince the
• 5:02:23
  hungry lion on the spotted jungle deer Selda rushed upon it. Histir, reckless
• 5:02:29
  and unknown to fear. Brave ites tear marked him coming, and he hurled
• 5:02:33
  his fatal dart, like the fatal curse of Brahmen, sank the weapon in
• 5:02:38
  his heart, blood suffused his ie, and nostril quivered steel his feeble hand
• 5:02:45
  like a cliff by thunder ribbon, Celia fell and shooked the land. And
• 5:02:51
  that was the fatal battle for them. Lessa king was slain, pierced by
• 5:02:56
  angry Sahib, false Sacni pressed a plain. All the brothers of Durudin Tiger
• 5:03:03
  rested Wema's lieve. Proud Urudan, pale and panting, from the field of
• 5:03:07
  battle, flew four knight of slaughter, far from battles, soil and slaughter
• 5:03:18
  by a darkened, limpid lake, sad and slow and faint. Touruden deed
• 5:03:22
  his humble shelter take but the villaints sons of Pandu, with the hunter's watchful
• 5:03:29
  care, did you attract dear fallen Foemen like a wild beast in its lair,
• 5:03:34
  God's uteness, said Durudin, flaming in his shame and red boy to
• 5:03:41
  manhood, everheting we have crossed each other's path. Now we need to part
• 5:03:48
  no longer. Proud Duryadan fights you all perish he or sons of Pandu,
• 5:03:53
  may this evening see or fall Wema answered for the insults long endured, but
• 5:04:00
  not forgiven me alone of fight. Do you then, witness, righteous gods
• 5:04:06
  in heaven, Call to mind the dark destruction plan of old in fine desire
• 5:04:11
  in the halls of Varnavad to consume us in the fire. Call to mind
• 5:04:18
  the scheme deceitful deep Secunes's dark device, cheating us of fame and empire by
• 5:04:23
  the tree of loaded dies. Call to mind that coward insult and outrage,
• 5:04:30
  foul and keen flung on Drupid's saintly daughter and our noble spotless queen. Call
• 5:04:37
  to mind the stainless Vishma for thy scenes and folly, slain lifeless proud Preceptor
• 5:04:42
  Drona, current lifeless on the plain, perish in thy scenes to you then
• 5:04:49
  perish to th hated name and the dark life crime, polluted and studiodim in
• 5:04:56
  thy shame, like two bulls that fire in fury, blinded to wounds and
• 5:05:02
  oozing blood, Like two wild and warning tuskers shaking all day, echoing would
• 5:05:07
  like the thunder wielding Indra mighty Yama, dark and red, dauntless Vima and
• 5:05:12
  Turyodan fiercely strove and fought and bled Sparks of fire shot from their maces,
• 5:05:19
  and their faces ran with blood. Neither one and neither yielded matched in strength,
• 5:05:25
  the rival stood. Theuny's vow remembered Wema, and he raised his weapon
• 5:05:30
  high with a foul attack, But fatal Wema broke Dolitan's tie. Through the
• 5:05:37
  sky. A voice resounded as the great Durutan fell, and the art the
• 5:05:41
  voisery echoed over her distant heel and dale. Beasts and birds in consternation flew
• 5:05:48
  over the land and azure sky man below, and heaven lycidas trembled at the
• 5:05:55
  fatal cry. Darkness fell upon the battle. Proud did it h dying lay,
• 5:06:00
  But the slaughter of the combat closed not with the closing day, and
• 5:06:06
  sent feud and hatred linger after battle, sweeping flood and the father's deathless anger
• 5:06:12
  courset in the children's blood, Jonah slept and gallant Drupert for their earthly task
• 5:06:19
  was done. Vengeance fired the son of Drona against the royal Rupert's son sable
• 5:06:26
  shadows of the midnight fell over battle's silent plain, faintly shown, the fitful
• 5:06:32
  planets on the dying and the slain, and the vengeful son of Drona,
• 5:06:37
  fired by all means, dark and red, stole into the tents of women
• 5:06:41
  with a soft and noiseless tread. Tristadima, and secondly, Princess of Pancha's
• 5:06:48
  land fell beneath the proud, avengerous Setuama's reeking hand I, where Rupert's sleeping
• 5:06:56
  grandson's fair Droperty's children lay stole the crowd alarm of vengeance smoldered them ere dawn
• 5:07:03
  of day done the ghastly work of slaughter. Asa Tama banned his way,
• 5:07:08
  where beside the limpid waters lone Duryodhan dying lay, and Duryodhan blessed the hero

  children who wept beside their mothers for its widowed royal spows, veiled dwellers of

  the palace scarce the gods their face had seen heedless. Now through Martin City

  queenly pride, So one false dantleered monarch, struck by woe, one's sudden

  the broad arena milkwhite feelies braved the sun, wildly tossed their flowing traces,

• 5:10:12
  they passed the city by gentle bosoms, kindly hearted, or as they wiped
• 5:10:18
  each other's eye, now by common sorrow. Laddin none for sister. Heaved
• 5:10:23
  a sigh with this troop of wailing women, deep in war, disconsolate slow.
• 5:10:30
  The mowner coblic Curus passed as Dinah's outer gate man from stall and Lumen,
• 5:10:36
  anvil man of every guild and trade, left the city with the monarch
• 5:10:41
  through the open country straight, and the universal sorrow filled the air and answering
• 5:10:47
  sky, as when ends the mortal's yuga, and the end of world is
• 5:10:51
  nigh. Two Gunder's lament for the slave, stayless queen and stainless women,
• 5:11:00
  ever righteous, ever good, stately in her mighty sorrow on the field gunned
• 5:11:06
  her he stood steuned skulls and clotted dresses, darkened by the stream of gore,
• 5:11:12
  on the limbs of countless warriors. Was the red field covered over elephants
• 5:11:18
  and steeths of battle carbon chiefs, untimely slain headless trunks and heads dissevered filled
• 5:11:23
  a red and ghastly plain, and the long run haul of jackals over the
• 5:11:30
  scene of carnage rings, and the vulture and the raven flapped their dark and
• 5:11:33
  loathsome winds feasting on the blood of warriors. Foul pizars filled the air,
• 5:11:41
  vewless forms of hungry rockshes limped from limb. The corpssed tear through this scene
• 5:11:47
  of death and carnage was danc and monarch lead krudaims with faltering footsteps stepped amidst
• 5:11:52
  the countless death, and a piercing wail of anguish burst upon the aquin plain
• 5:12:00
  as they saw their sons and fathers, brothers, lords amidst the slave,
• 5:12:04
  as they saw the wolves of jungle feed upon the dastine prey turks, some
• 5:12:10
  wanderers of the midnight, prowling in the light of day, shriek of pain
• 5:12:15
  and wail of anguish over the ghostly fieldery sound and their feeble footsteps falter and
• 5:12:22
  the sink upon the ground. Sense and life desert the mourners as the faint
• 5:12:27
  in common grief. Death like swan, succeeding sorrow yields a moment's short relief.
• 5:12:34
  Then a mighty sigh of anguish from Gundary's bosom broke, gazing on her
• 5:12:40
  anguished daughters. Unto Krishna. Thus she spoke Markman counseled daughters with the youth
• 5:12:48
  queens of Koru's house, wailing for dear, dear departed, like the osprey,
• 5:12:52
  for her spous How which cold and fading feature wakes in jem a woman's
• 5:12:59
  love. How amidst the lifeless warriors, steely drestless tapes, they row.
• 5:13:04
  Mothers hugged their slaughtered children, all unconscious in their sleep, with those bands
• 5:13:10
  upon their husbands, and in ceaseless sorrow weep mighty Vishma hath he fallen,

  Quen's disarcher, Curt's pride drupid Monarcho Pancha sleeps by foremen Rona's sigh. Shining
• 5:13:25
  mail and costly jewels, royal bangles drew the plane. Golden garlands, rich

  and varnished, tagged the chief's untimely sleigh lences hurled by stalwart fighters, clubs
• 5:13:37
  of mighty wrestlers, keel swords and bows of ample measer quiver steel with arrows

  field marked on forgotten heroes. Jungle prowlers made them stray on their brow and
• 5:13:52
  mailed bosoms, heedless perch. The birds of prey mark the great unconquered heroes
• 5:13:59
  famed on our from west to east. Conquers perch upon their foreheads, hung
• 5:14:03
  revolves upon them. Feast mark the kings on soft excushion scars. They need
• 5:14:10
  address they found now, the lying peaceful slumber on the hard and reddened ground,
• 5:14:17
  marked the youths whom morn and evening listed to the minstrel's song. In

  the rear, the lonesome jackal doth his doleful wailed prolonged. See the chieftains
• 5:14:26
  with their maces and their swords of trusty steel steel. They grasped their tried
• 5:14:32
  weapons to the steel. The life fells feel three Gandhari's lament for Duryodhan.
• 5:14:44
  Thus to Krishna, Queen Gandhari strove her woeful thoughts to tell when alas her
• 5:14:49
  wandering vision on her son Duryodhan fell sudden anguish smote her bosom, and her
• 5:14:56
  senses seemed to stray like a tree by tempest. Shaken senseless on the earth,
• 5:15:02
  she lay once again. She waked in no sorrow once again, she
• 5:15:07
  cast her eye where her son, in blood and purple, slept beneath the
• 5:15:11
  top and sky, and she clapped her dear Duryudin, hurled him close on
• 5:15:15
  to her breast. Sobs convulsive shook her bosom as the lifeless forms he pressed,
• 5:15:22
  and her tears like rains of summer, fell and washed. His noble
• 5:15:26
  head jagged with kurland, still untarnished, grazed at Nishka's bright and wath mad,
• 5:15:34
  said my dear Duryadin, when he went on too the war, wish
• 5:15:38
  me joy and wish me triumph. As I mounted battle car son, I
• 5:15:44
  said to dear Duryudin, heaven ever to cruel faith, yetudhr masta doujaya triumph
• 5:15:49
  dot on virtue. Wait. But he set his heart on battle by his
• 5:15:55
  velor wiped his seams. Now he dwelt in realm cele steel, which the
• 5:15:59
  faithful warrior wings. And I weep not for Turyodo like a prince, he
• 5:16:04
  fought and fell. But my sorrow stricken husband, who can his misfortunes?
• 5:16:08
  Tell aye? My son was brave and princely, all resistless in the war.
• 5:16:15

• 5:21:12
  chased the shadows of the night. Pittrimida, due to fathers, was performed
• 5:21:18
  with pious care. Heamns and wails and lamentations mingled in the midnight air.
• 5:21:25
  Sacred songs of Greek and Summon rose with women's piercing wail, and the creatures
• 5:21:30
  of the wide eared herd. The sound subdued and pale, smokeless, and
• 5:21:34
  its radiant luster shone, its red and lighted pyre, like the planets of
• 5:21:40
  the bright sky, dropping with celestial fire. Countless myriads, nameless, friendless
• 5:21:47
  from each court and camp afar from the east and west collected fell in Kurukshetra's
• 5:21:52
  war. Thousand fires for them were lighted. They received a pious ride.
• 5:21:57
  Such was good districe mandate, Such was Wisebideur's smile. All the dead were
• 5:22:03
  burned to ashes, and the sacred ride was over. Tritarashtra and his tear
• 5:22:07
  slowly walked to Gangha's shore five oblation to Kern Sacred Gangha. Ample bosomed sweeps
• 5:22:19
  along in regal pride, rolling down her limpid waters through high banks. On
• 5:22:25
  either side, kuru daimes and weeping widows teeter in their anguish came theven holy
• 5:22:32
  rights to render to departed chiefs of fame, casting fort their jeweled girdles,
• 5:22:37
  gems and scarves belaced with gold, gave oblations of the water, to which
• 5:22:41
  hero true and bold, unto fathers, unto husbands and too sons in battle
• 5:22:48
  slave offerings of the sacred water, soaring wives and mother's maid and so great
• 5:22:55
  the host of mourners went in to perform their ride, that their footsteps made
• 5:22:59
  a pathway in the sadden sacred side, and the shelving banks of Gangha,
• 5:23:03
  peopled by the soaring train, wide, expanding, vast and sea like,
• 5:23:08
  form a scene of woe and pain. But a wave of keener sorrow swept
• 5:23:14
  over Pritha's heaving breast. As unto her, whooping children does her secrets,
• 5:23:18
  She expressed, He my sons, the peerless bowman mighty in his battle car,
• 5:23:26
  he who bore a stamp of hero slain by Urgin in the war,
• 5:23:32
  He whom, as the son of Radha chariot driver, ye have taught,
• 5:23:36
  he who shown itch Suria's Lusser as his countless foes he fought, He who
• 5:23:41
  faced your stoutest warriors, and in battle never failed, He who led the
• 5:23:45
  crew forces, and in danger never quailed. He who knew no peer in
• 5:23:51
  proys, owned in ward no haftier name, He who wielded life not honor,
• 5:23:56
  and by death had conquered fame. He in truth, who never faltered,
• 5:24:03
  never left his vow undone offer unto him oblation. Karn was my eldest
• 5:24:07
  son. Karn was your honored elder. And the sun inspired his Birdkern in
• 5:24:14
  his rings and armor, sun like drought, the spacious art preta spake,
• 5:24:19
  and terror stricken punder brothers groaned in pain, and they wept in war and
• 5:24:25
  anguish for the brother they had slain. He sing forth his sigh of sorrow,
• 5:24:30
  like a trodden hissing snake, said it is dear to his mother.
• 5:24:33
  Thus his inward feeling spake. Didst thou mother bear the hero fathomless like ocean
• 5:24:40
  dread, whose unfailing listening arrows like its countless below spead. Didst thou bear
• 5:24:47
  that pure des archer, all resistless, in his car, sweeping with a
• 5:24:51
  roar of ocean, through the shattered ranks of war? Didst thou bear the
• 5:24:56
  mighty hero, mortal man of avonlea bird crushing b and it is arm of
• 5:25:00
  valor all his foemen on the earth. Didst thou hide the Barton lineage of
• 5:25:06
  the chief of that full liar, as a man in folds of garments seeks
• 5:25:10
  to hide the flaming fire urgent whilder of Gandhi was for us. No truer
• 5:25:17
  stay den was Karan for the Curus In the battle's drd array, Monarch's match,
• 5:25:22
  not Khan's glory, nor his deeds of valor done midst the mighty carbon
• 5:25:26
  warriors, mightiest warrior. Khan Shorn was heaten, our eldest brother we have
• 5:25:33
  in the battle slave and our nearest, dearest elder fell upon the gory play.
• 5:25:40
  Not the death of a revenue from the affairs who hadra toorn, Not
• 5:25:45
  the slaughter of the princess by the proud drop of the born, Not the
• 5:25:48
  fall of Kuru warriors, nor Panchaal's mighty host like die that afflicts my bosom,
• 5:25:55
  noble Kern loved and lost, Monarch's empire, Victor's glory. All the
• 5:26:02
  treasure's art can yield righteous, bless and heavenly gladness. Harvest of the swark's
• 5:26:07
  field. All that wish can shape and utter all that nourish, can,
• 5:26:11
  hope and pride, all were ours, So noble Karna, with thee by
• 5:26:15
  thy brother's side, and this carnage of the curuse, these sad eyes had
• 5:26:22
  never seen. Peace had graced our blessed empire. Happy the art have been
• 5:26:29
  long bewailed. The sad histere for his elder, loved and dead, and
• 5:26:33
  the oblation of the water to the noble carn maid and the royal names of
• 5:26:37
  Kuru viewed the sighted, freshening pain wept to see the gooded his here offering
• 5:26:42
  to his brother's slain. And the widowed Queen of Karn, with the women
• 5:26:48
  of his house, gave oblations to her hero wept her loved and slaughtered.
• 5:26:52
  Spous turned their rights to the departed, done oblations to the dead. Slowly,
• 5:26:59
  then the sets survivors of the reverse Margins spread far along the shore and
• 5:27:03
  sand bank of the sacred Sea, extreme made in matron, laved their bodies
• 5:27:08
  beneath the morning's holy beam, and ablutions done the chorus. Slow and sad
• 5:27:15
  and cheerless, pot went their way to forest dinner with a wide and vacant
• 5:27:19
  heart. And of Book eleven, Book twelve a Swimmide, sacrifice of the
• 5:27:30
  horse, the real epic, answered the ore, and the funerals of the
• 5:27:36
  deceased warriors. Much of what follows in the original Sanskrit poem is either episodical
• 5:27:41
  or comparatively recent interpolation. The great and venerable warrior Vishma, still lying on
• 5:27:47
  his deathbed, discourses for the instruction of the newly crowned stir on various subjects
• 5:27:52
  like the duties of kings, the duties of the forecasts, and the four
• 5:27:56
  stages of life. He repeats the discourses of other saints of Rigu and Vartwaj
• 5:28:03
  of Manu and Rehspathy of Bias and Suk of Yegebalka, and Janak of Nadad
• 5:28:08
  and Narayan. He explained Sanka philosophy and Yoga philosophy, and lays down the
• 5:28:15
  laws of marriage, the laws of succession, the rules of gifts, and
• 5:28:18
  the rules of funeral rites. He preaches the cult of Krishna and narrates endless
• 5:28:25
  legions, tales, traditions and meats about sieges and saints, gods and mortal
• 5:28:29
  kings. All this is told in two books containing about twenty two thousand couplets
• 5:28:36
  and forming nearly one fourth of the entire Sanskrit epic. The reason of adding
• 5:28:41
  all this episodical and comparatively recent matter to the ancient epic is not far to
• 5:28:45
  seek. The epic became more popular with the nation at large than dry codes
• 5:28:52
  of law and philosophy, and generations of brahmanical writers labored therefore to insert in
• 5:28:56
  the epic itself their rules of cast and moral conduct, their laws and philosophy.
• 5:29:03
  There is no more venerable character in the epic than Vishma, and these
• 5:29:07
  rules and laws have therefore been supposed to come from his lips on the solemn
• 5:29:11
  occasion of his death, as a storehouse of ideal laws and traditions and moral
• 5:29:17
  rules. These episodes are invaluable, but they form no part of the real
• 5:29:21
  epic. They are not a portion of the leading story of diapeic. And
• 5:29:26
  he pass them by. Vishma dies and discrimated. But the endless exposition of
• 5:29:32
  laws, listens and moral rules is not yet over. Krishna himself takes up
• 5:29:37
  the task in a new book, and as he has done once before in
• 5:29:40
  the Vagavad Gita, he now once more explains to Urchin in the Anugita,
• 5:29:45
  the great Truths about soul and emancipation, creation and the will of life,
• 5:29:49
  true knowledge and rights, and Panits, the adventures of the Sea Zutanka,
• 5:29:55
  whom Krishna meets, then take up a good many pages. All this forms
• 5:30:00
  no part of the real epic, and we pass it by. It is
• 5:30:06
  there has in the meantime been crowned King of the Kurus at Hastinapur, and
• 5:30:10
  the posthumous child of a vi Menu is named Parikshit and is destined to succeed
• 5:30:15
  to the throne of the Curus. But Dister's mind is still troubled with the
• 5:30:18
  thoughts of the carnage of the war, of which he considers himself guilty,
• 5:30:22
  and a great saint. Viaz advises the performance of the assumine, or the
• 5:30:27
  sacrifice of the horse, for the expiration of the scene. The sacrifice of
• 5:30:33
  the horse was an encient Hinto custom practiced by kings exercising sucerine powers over surrounding
• 5:30:40
  kings. A horse was let free and was allowed to wander from place to
• 5:30:45
  place, accompanied by the king's guard. If any neighboring king ventured to detain
• 5:30:49
  the animal, it was a signal for war. If no king ventured to
• 5:30:55
  restrain the venderer, it was considered a tacit mark of submission to the owner
• 5:30:59
  of the animal. And when the horse returned from its peregrinations, it was
• 5:31:03
  sacrificed to the great pomp and splendor at a feast to which all neighboring kings
• 5:31:08
  were invited. Jister allowed the sacrificeal horse to ender at will, and Urchin
• 5:31:15
  accompanied it. Wherever the horse was stopped. Urgin fought and conquered, and
• 5:31:21
  thus proclaimed the supremacy of Wittistir over all neighboring potentates. After various wars and
• 5:31:26
  adventures in various regions, Urgin at last returned victorious with the steed to Hastinapur,
• 5:31:33
  and the sacrifice commenced. The description of the sacrifices somewhat artificial and concerns
• 5:31:40
  itself, which writes in ceremonious details and gifts to brahmins, and altogether bears
• 5:31:45
  unmistakable evidence of the interpolting hand of later priestly writers. Nevertheless, we cannot
• 5:31:52
  exclude from this translation of the leading incidents of the epic the last great and
• 5:31:56
  crowning act of wittstir Now anointed monark Kuru Land. The portion translated in this
• 5:32:03
  book forms sections eighty five and parts of sections eighty seven and eighty nine of
• 5:32:08
  Book fourteen. Of the original text, one the gathering victor of one hundred
• 5:32:18
  battles Urgin Bantha's homeward way, falling steel, the sacred Georgier free to wander
• 5:32:23
  as it may, strolling minstrels to it Isteur, spake of their returning Steeth
• 5:32:30
  spake of virgin wnding homeward with the Victor's crown of mead and the sang of
• 5:32:36
  Vagin's triumphs in Ganthhar's distant vale on the banks of Brahmaputra, and in Sindhu's
• 5:32:41
  rocky dale. Twelfth day came of Mark's bright moon, and auspicious was the
• 5:32:47
  star Neiher came the victor region from his Conquestsneer and far Gudistyr called his brothers
• 5:32:56
  faithful twins, and Vima true spake to them in gentleland accents, and his
• 5:33:00
  words were grave and field. Wema. Now returneth Huchem with di steat from
• 5:33:07

• 5:33:11
  on the way and the time of Asomida day by days, drawing nigh marks.

  Full moon is approaching and the winter pass it by. Let the Brahmans

  Sacrifice is rather a crowning ornament than a part of the solidadi fies. What
• 5:46:07
  follows the sacrifice is in no sense a part of the real epic. It

• 5:46:33
  warriors, his sons and grandsons and kinsmen, clad and armed as they were
• 5:46:37
  in battle. The spirits disappear in the morning at the building of Vyasa,
• 5:46:42
  who had called them up. At last, Tritraastra and Gandhari and Pritha are
• 5:46:48
  burned to death in a forest configuration, death by fire being considered holy.

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

• 6:09:36
  sustains and elephants the simplest narration and the plainest ideas. Whether at the support
• 6:09:41
  of these sustaining wings, my poor narration must often plow through the dust,
• 6:09:45
  and I can only ask for the indulgence of the reader, which every translator
• 6:09:48
  of poetry from a foreign language can which reason ask if the story has told
• 6:09:53
  in the translation is sometimes but a plain, simple and homely narrative. For
• 6:09:59
  in your plistic decoration, I have neither the inclination nor the necessary qualification.
• 6:10:03
  The crisp and ornate style, the quaint expression that chiseledored the new coin phrase
• 6:10:08
  in which modern English poetry is rich, would scarcely suite the translation of an
• 6:10:12
  old epic whose predominating characteristic is its simple and easy flow of narrative. Indeed,
• 6:10:18
  the Mavarret would lose that unadorned simplicity, which is its first and foremost
• 6:10:22
  feature, if the translator ventured to decorate it with the art of the modern
• 6:10:26
  day, even if he had been qualified to do so. For if there
• 6:10:32
  is one characteristic feature which distinguishes the Mavarrat, as well as the other Indian
• 6:10:37
  epic, the Ramayan, from all later Sanskrit literature, it is the grand
• 6:10:41
  simplicity of its narrative, which contrasts with the artificial graces of later Sanskrit poetry,
• 6:10:47
  the poetry of Khalida's for instance is ornate and beautiful, and almost scintillates
• 6:10:52
  with similes in every verse. The poetry of the Mavarrat is plain and unpolished,
• 6:10:56
  and scarcely stoops to a simile or a figure speech, unless the simile
• 6:11:00
  comes naturally to the poet. The great deeds of godlike kings sometimes suggests to
• 6:11:06
  the poet the mighty deeds of gods. The rushing of warriors suggests the rushing
• 6:11:10
  of angry elephants in the echoing jungle. The flight of whistling arrows suggests the
• 6:11:15
  flight of sea birds. The sound and movement of surging crowds suggest the heaving
• 6:11:19
  of willows. The erectitude of a warrior suggests a tall cliff. The beauty
• 6:11:23
  of a maiden suggests the soft beauty of the blue lotus. When such comparisions
• 6:11:29
  come naturally to the poet, he accepts them and notes them down, but
• 6:11:32
  he never seems to go in quest of them. He is never anxious to
• 6:11:34
  beautify and decorate. He seems to trust entirely to his grand narrative, to
• 6:11:40
  his hairy characters, to his cheering incidents, to hold millions of listeners in
• 6:11:44
  perpetual trial. The majestic and sonorous sanscrit meter is at his command, and
• 6:11:49
  even this he uses carelessly and with frequent slips known as usha to letter grammarians,
• 6:11:56
  the poet certainly seeks for no art to decorate his tale, trust to
• 6:12:00
  the lofty chronicle of bygun heroes, to unchain the listening mankind and what heroes.
• 6:12:06
  In the delineation of character, the Mavarret is far above anything which you
• 6:12:10
  find in later sanscrit poetry, indeed, with much that is fresh and sweet
• 6:12:15
  and lovely. In later suscrit poetry, there is little or no portraiture of
• 6:12:18
  character. All heroes are cast much in the same heroic mold. All lobsiic
• 6:12:22
  heroines suffer in silence and barn with fever. All fools are shrewd and impudent
• 6:12:27
  by turns, All names are heartless and cruel and suffer. In the end,
• 6:12:33
  there is not much to distinguish between one warrior and another, between one
• 6:12:37
  tender woman and her sister. In the Mahvarate, we find just the reverse.
• 6:12:41
  Each hero has a distinct individuality, a character of his own, clearly
• 6:12:45
  discernible from that of other heroes. No work of the imagination that could be
• 6:12:51
  named always, excepting the Iliad is so rich and so true as the Mavaret
• 6:12:55
  in the portraiture of human character, not interment and suffering as Indne. They
• 6:13:00
  not under overwhelming passions as in Sakespeare, but human character in its calm,
• 6:13:04
  dignity, of strength and repose, like those immortal figures in marble which the
• 6:13:08
  ancients turned out, and which modern sculptures have vainly sought to reproduce. The
• 6:13:14
  old Kurumnar treated Astra sightless and feeble, but majestic in his ancient grandeur.
• 6:13:19
  The noble grandsire Vishma Death, subduer and unconquerable in the Oar, The dotty
• 6:13:25
  drona venerable, prist and vengeful warrior, and the proud and purest archyir Karan
• 6:13:30
  have each a distinct character of his own which cannot be mistaken for a moment.
• 6:13:36
  The good and royally deistir i omit the final a. In some long
• 6:13:38
  names which occur frequently, the tiger wisted Vema and the helmuturing June are the
• 6:13:44
  Agamemnon, the Ajets and the Achelus of the Indian epic. The proud and
• 6:13:48
  unelding do you then, and the fierce and fiery to Sassan stand out foremost
• 6:13:52
  among the wrathful sons of the feeble Old Kurumnar and Krishna possesses a character higher
• 6:13:59
  than that of Lusine, unmatched in humanisdom, ever striving for righteousness and peace,
• 6:14:03
  he is thorough and unrelenting in war when war has begun. And the
• 6:14:07
  women of the Indian Epic pauses characters as marked as those of the man,
• 6:14:12
  the stately and majestic Queen Gandhari, the loving and doubting mother Preta, the
• 6:14:18
  proud and scornful Dropoty, nursing her rats till her wrongs are fearfully revenged,
• 6:14:22
  and the bright and brilliant and sunny Suvadra. These are distinct images penciled by
• 6:14:26
  the hand of a true master in the realm of creative imagination. And if
• 6:14:32
  the characters of the Mahward impress themselves on the reader, the incidents of the
• 6:14:36
  epic are no less striking. Every scene on the shifting stage is a perfect
• 6:14:41
  and impressive picture. The Tournament of the Princess, in which Urgin and Karn,
• 6:14:47
  the aquilus and actor of the Indian Epic, first met, and each
• 6:14:51
  marked the other for his foe, the gorgeous bridal of Tropothy, the equally
• 6:14:56
  gorgeous coronation of Idsture and the death of the proud and boisterous Sisupal. The
• 6:15:00
  fatal game of dice and the scornful wrath of Droopody against our insulters, The
• 6:15:06
  calm beauty of the forest life of the Pandebs, the capital lifting in muchie
• 6:15:11
  Land, in which the gallant Urchin threw off his disguise and stood forth as
• 6:15:15
  warrior and conqueror. And the Homeric speeches of the warriors in the Council of
• 6:15:18
  War on the eve of the great contest. Each scene of this venerable old
• 6:15:23
  epic impresses itself on the mind of the hushed and astonished reader. Then follows
• 6:15:29
  the War of eighteen days. The first few days are more or less uneventful
• 6:15:33
  and have been condensed in this translation, often into few couplets, but the
• 6:15:37
  interest of the reader increases as he approaches the final battle and fall of the
• 6:15:41
  grand old fighter of Vishma. Then follows the steering story of the death of
• 6:15:45
  Virgin's gallant boy and Urchin's fierce revenge, and the death of the priest and
• 6:15:51
  warrior Dothy Drona. Last comes the crowning event of the epic, the final
• 6:15:56
  contest between Djune and Kern, the heroes of the epic, and the war
• 6:16:00
  ends in a midnight slaughter and the death of Dirudan. The rest of the
• 6:16:03
  story is told in this translation in two books describing the funerals of the deceased
• 6:16:08
  warriors, and it is to sacrifice. The poems of Homer, says mister
• 6:16:15
  Gladstone, differ from all other known poetry in this that they constituting themselves an
• 6:16:19
  encyclopedia of life and knowledge at the time when knowledge, indeed, such as
• 6:16:25
  lies beyond the bounds of actual experience, was extremely limited, and when life
• 6:16:30
  was singularly fresh, vivid, and expansive. This remark applies with even greater
• 6:16:34
  force to the Mahaward. It is an encyclopedia of the life and knowledge of
• 6:16:38
  ancient India, and it discloses to us an ancient and forgotten world, a
• 6:16:44
  proud and noble civilization which has passed away. Northern India was then parceled among
• 6:16:49
  warlike races, living side by side under their warlike kings, speaking the same
• 6:16:53
  language, performing the same religious rites, and ceremonies, rejoicing in a common
• 6:16:59
  literature, rivaling each other in their schools of philosophy and learning, as in
• 6:17:03
  the arts of peace and civilization, and forming a confederation of Hindu nations,
• 6:17:07
  unknown to and unknowing the outside world. What this confederation of nations has done
• 6:17:12
  for the cause of human knowledge and human civilization is a matter of history.
• 6:17:18
  Their inquiries into the hidden truths of religion, embombed in the ancient puniciats,
• 6:17:22
  have never been excelled within the last three thousand years. Their inquiries into philosophy,
• 6:17:29
  preserved in the Psychia and the Bedanda systems, were the first systems of
• 6:17:33
  true philosophy which the world produced, and their great works of imagination, the
• 6:17:37
  Mahvar and the Ramayan, will be paid without hesitation by the side of Homer
• 6:17:42
  by critics who surveyed the Ward's literatures from a lofty standpoint and just impartially of
• 6:17:48
  the waystrnd out by the hands of man in all parts of the globe.
• 6:17:52
  It is coarsely necessary to add that the discoveries of the ancient Hindus in science
• 6:17:57
  and especially in mathematics, are heritage of the modern world, and that the
• 6:18:02
  lofty religion of Buddha, proclaimed in India five centuries before Christ, is not
• 6:18:06
  the religion of a third of the human race. For the rest, the
• 6:18:11
  people of modern India know how to appreciate their ancient heritage. It is not
• 6:18:15
  an exaggeration to state that the two hundred millions of windows of the present day
• 6:18:19
  cherish in their hearts the story of their ancient epics. The Hindus Kursi leaves
• 6:18:25
  Man or Roman, high or low, educated or ignorant, whose earliest recollections
• 6:18:29
  do not cling around the story and the characters of the great epics. The
• 6:18:33
  almost illiterate oil manufacturer or confectioner of Bengal spells out some modern translation of the
• 6:18:37
  mahavard to while away his lisure hour. The tall and stalwart peasantry of the
• 6:18:42
  Northwest know of the five Banda brothers and of their friend the Artyus Krishna.
• 6:18:48
  The people of Bombay and Madras cherish with equal order the story of the righteous
• 6:18:52
  war. And when the traditions entails interspersed in the epic, and which spoil
• 6:18:59
  the war Kazan Epic, have themselves a charm and an attraction. And the
• 6:19:03
  morals inculcated in These tails sink into the hearts of a naturally religious people and
• 6:19:08
  form the basis of their moral education. Mothers in India know no bettered him
• 6:19:14
  for importing wisdom and instruction to their daughters, and elderly men know no rich
• 6:19:18
  a storehouse for narting tales to children than these stories preserved in the epics.
• 6:19:23
  No work in Europe, not Homer in Greece, or Virgil in Italy,
• 6:19:26
  not Sixpeare or Milton in English speaking lands, is the national property of the
• 6:19:30
  nations to the same extent as the epics of India art of the Hindus.
• 6:19:36
  No single work except the Bible has such influence in affording moral instruction in Christian
• 6:19:41
  lands as the Mahwarat and the Ramaan. In India. There have been the
• 6:19:45
  cherished heritage of the Hindus for three thousand years. They are to the present
• 6:19:49
  day interwoven with the thoughts and beliefs and the moral ideas of a nation numbering

  two hundred millions. Rameshdad University College in London, thirteen Augusts, eighteen ninety
