वेत्सि दाशार्ह सत्यं मे दीर्घकालं सहोषितः। उत वा मां न जानासि प्लवन् ह्रद इवाप्लवे॥
vetsi dāśārha satyaṃ me dīrghakālaṃ sahoṣitaḥ| uta vā māṃ na jānāsi plavan hrada ivāplave||
You know the truth of this, you of the Dasharha race, owing to your living for a long time with me; or it is possible that you do not know me like one swimming in a lake not knowing its depth.

For this reason you find fault with me in words that I dot deserve. Who, knowing me to be Bhimasena.

आत्मनः पौरुषं चैव बलं च न समं परैः। सर्वथानार्यकमैतत् प्रशंसा स्वयमात्मनः॥
ātmanaḥ pauruṣaṃ caiva balaṃ ca na samaṃ paraiḥ| sarvathānāryakamaitat praśaṃsā svayamātmanaḥ||
Regarding the manly strength of myself and the might, which are not equalled by my enemies. At all times this is a dishonourable act for a man to praise himself.

अतिवादापविद्धस्तु वक्ष्यामि बलमात्मनः। पश्यमे रोदसी कृष्ण ययोरासन्निमाः प्रजाः॥
ativādāpaviddhastu vakṣyāmi balamātmanaḥ| paśyame rodasī kṛṣṇa yayorāsannimāḥ prajāḥ||
Yet being pierced with excessive blame, I speak out of my own strength. Look at these two, O Krishna, the earth and the heaven, from which have proceeded all creatures.

अहमेते निगृह्णीयां बाहुभ्यां सचराचरे। पश्यैतदन्तरं बाह्वोर्महापरिघयोरिवा॥
ahamete nigṛhṇīyāṃ bāhubhyāṃ sacarācare| paśyaitadantaraṃ bāhvormahāparighayorivā||
Then I could by my two arms keep them apart with all their mobile and immobile beings. Behold the distance between the two arms, which coming together are like a great circle.

य एतत् प्राप्य मुच्येत न तं पश्यामि पूरुषम्। हिमवांश्च समुद्रश्च वज्री वा बलभित् स्वयम्॥
ya etat prāpya mucyeta na taṃ paśyāmi pūruṣam| himavāṃśca samudraśca vajrī vā balabhit svayam||

यथा मया विनिर्जित्य राजानो वशगाः कृताः। अथ चेन्मा न जानासि सूर्यस्येवोद्यतः प्रभाम्॥ विगाढे युधि सम्बाधे वेत्स्यसे मां जनार्दन। परुपैराक्षिपसि किं व्रणं पूतिमिवोन्नयन्॥
yathā mayā vinirjitya rājāno vaśagāḥ kṛtāḥ| atha cenmā na jānāsi sūryasyevodyataḥ prabhām|| vigāḍhe yudhi sambādhe vetsyase māṃ janārdana| parupairākṣipasi kiṃ vraṇaṃ pūtimivonnayan||
And the manner in which after conquering the kings, brought them under subjection. If it is a fact that you do not know my strength, which is like the resplendent sun, you will know then me in the fierce turmoil of battle, O Janardana. You cause me pain by your harsh words like the pain felt in opening a long standing boil.

draṣṭā māṃ tvaṃ ca lokaśca vikarṣantaṃ varān varān| na me sīdanti majjāno na mamodvepate manaḥ||

MBh 3 146.17
सर्वलोकादभिक्रुद्धान्न भयं विद्यते मम। किं तु सौहृदमेवैतत् कृपया मधुसूदन। सर्वास्तितिक्षे संक्लेशान् मा स्म नो भरता नशन्।।१८
sarvalokādabhikruddhānna bhayaṃ vidyate mama| kiṃ tu sauhṛdamevaitat kṛpayā madhusūdana| sarvāstitikṣe saṃkleśān mā sma no bharatā naśan||18
I have no fear from all the worlds moved with wrath against me. But I am evincing these good wishes only out of mercy, O destroyer of Madhu. I can bear all sorts of troubles, if the Bharatas are not annihilated.
