MBh 5 183.1

धृतराष्ट्र उवाच एकवीरवधे मोघा शक्तिः सूतात्मजे यदा। कस्मात् सर्वान् समुत्सृज्य स तां पार्थे न मुक्तवान्॥

dhṛtarāṣṭra uvāca ekavīravadhe moghā śaktiḥ sūtātmaje yadā| kasmāt sarvān samutsṛjya sa tāṃ pārthe na muktavān||

Dhritarashtra said If Suta's son had possessed such a Sakti as was sure to slay one hero, why then excepting all others, did he not hurl it at Pritha's son Arjuna.

MBh 5 183.2

तस्मिन् हते हता हि स्युः सर्वे पाण्डवसृञ्जयाः। एकवीरवधे कस्माद् युद्धे न जयमादधे॥

tasmin hate hatā hi syuḥ sarve pāṇḍavasṛñjayāḥ| ekavīravadhe kasmād yuddhe na jayamādadhe||

Had Arjuna been slain by that Sakti, then all the Srinjayas and Pandavas also would have be slain. Indeed, if Phalguna could have been slain, then victory certainly would have been ours.

MBh 5 183.3

आहूतो न निवर्तेयमिति तस्य महाव्रतम्। स्वयं मार्गयितव्यः स सूतपुत्रेण फाल्गुनः॥

āhūto na nivarteyamiti tasya mahāvratam| svayaṃ mārgayitavyaḥ sa sūtaputreṇa phālgunaḥ||

"Challenged, I would never turn back" even this was the vow taken by Arjuna. The son of Suta should therefore have summoned Arjuna in battle.

— tr. M.N. Dutt (1891–96) (public domain)

MBh 5 183.4

ततो द्वैरथमानीय फाल्गुनं शक्रदत्तया। जघान न वृषः कस्मात् तन्ममाचक्ष्व संजय॥

tato dvairathamānīya phālgunaṃ śakradattayā| jaghāna na vṛṣaḥ kasmāt tanmamācakṣva saṃjaya||

Tell me, O Sanjaya, why then Vrisha, summoning Arjuna to a single combat, did not slay the latter by means of the Sakti given him by Indra.

— tr. M.N. Dutt (1891–96) (public domain)

MBh 5 183.5

नूनं बुद्धिविहीनश्चाप्यसहायश्च ते सुतः। शत्रुभिर्व्यसितः पापः कथं नु स जयेदरीन्॥

nūnaṃ buddhivihīnaścāpyasahāyaśca te sutaḥ| śatrubhirvyasitaḥ pāpaḥ kathaṃ nu sa jayedarīn||

Surely my son is a fool and has not good counsellors also to guide him; that wretch is ever outwitted by the foe, how then can be hope to obtain victory over them?

MBh 5 183.6

या ह्यस्य परमा शक्तिर्जयस्य च परायणम्। सा शक्तिर्वासुदेवेन व्यंसिता च घटोत्कचे॥

yā hyasya paramā śaktirjayasya ca parāyaṇam| sā śaktirvāsudevena vyaṃsitā ca ghaṭotkace||

That Sakti which was such a powerful weapon and on which rested his hopes of victory, also even that Sakti had been made futile by Vasudeva's son through Ghatotkacha.

— tr. M.N. Dutt (1891–96) (public domain)

MBh 5 183.7

कुणेर्यथा हस्तगतं ह्रियेत् फलं बलीयसा। तथा शक्तिरमोघा सा मोघीभूता घटोत्कचे॥

kuṇeryathā hastagataṃ hriyet phalaṃ balīyasā| tathā śaktiramoghā sā moghībhūtā ghaṭotkace||

As a fruit is snatched away from the hands of a cripple with withered arms by a powerful man, even so had that mortal Sakti, of Karna, been made futile by Krishna, through Ghatotkacha.

MBh 5 183.8

स्तयोरभावे श्वपचस्य लाभ:। मन्ये विद्वन् वासुदेवस्य तद्वद् युद्धे लाभः कर्णहैडिम्बयोवै॥

stayorabhāve śvapacasya lābha:| manye vidvan vāsudevasya tadvad yuddhe lābhaḥ karṇahaiḍimbayovai||

Just as in a battle between a boar and a dog, the huntsman is the party to forfeit when either is slain, so, I think, O intelligent one, Vasudeva's son is to be party benefitted in that battle between Karna and Hidimva's son.

MBh 5 183.9

घटोत्कचो यदि हन्याद्धि कर्ण परोलाभः स भवेत् पाण्डवानाम्। वैकर्तनो वा यदि तं निहन्यात् तथापि कृत्यं शक्तिनाशात् कृतं स्यात्॥

ghaṭotkaco yadi hanyāddhi karṇa parolābhaḥ sa bhavet pāṇḍavānām| vaikartano vā yadi taṃ nihanyāt tathāpi kṛtyaṃ śaktināśāt kṛtaṃ syāt||

"If Ghatotkacha slays Karna in battle the Pandavas will be greatly benefitted; on the other hand, if Karna slay Ghatotkacha in battle there will be a great gain to the Pandavas because then Karna's Sakti will be useless."

— tr. M.N. Dutt (1891–96) (public domain)

MBh 5 183.10

इति प्राज्ञः प्रज्ञयैतद् विचिन्त्य घटोत्कचं सूतपुत्रेण युद्धे। अधातयद् वासुदेवो नृसिंहः प्रियं कुर्वन् पाण्डवानाहितं च॥

iti prājñaḥ prajñayaitad vicintya ghaṭotkacaṃ sūtaputreṇa yuddhe| adhātayad vāsudevo nṛsiṃhaḥ priyaṃ kurvan pāṇḍavānāhitaṃ ca||

Thinking in this way and for doing what was agreeable to the Pandavas that foremost of men Vasudeva, endued with great wisdom, had caused Ghatotkacha to be slain by Karna in battle.

MBh 5 183.11

संजय उवाच एतचिकीर्षित ज्ञात्वा कर्णस्य मधुसूदनः। नियोजयामास तदा द्वैरथे राक्षसेश्वरम्॥ घटोत्कचं महावीर्यं महाबुद्धिर्जनार्दनः। अमोघाया विघातार्थं राजन् दुर्मन्त्रिते तव॥

saṃjaya uvāca etacikīrṣita jñātvā karṇasya madhusūdanaḥ| niyojayāmāsa tadā dvairathe rākṣaseśvaram|| ghaṭotkacaṃ mahāvīryaṃ mahābuddhirjanārdanaḥ| amoghāyā vighātārthaṃ rājan durmantrite tava||

Sanjaya said Knowing perfectly well what Karna desired to do, the slayer of Madhu, the mighty armed Janaradana, O monarch ordered the foremost of the Rakshasas, viz., Ghatotkacha of puissant might to engage in a duel with Karna for rendering, O king, the latter's death-dealing Sakti fruitless. All this, O monarch, is the outcome of your wicked policy.

MBh 5 183.12

तदैव कृतकार्या हि वयं स्याम कुरूद्वह। न रक्षेद् यदि कृष्णस्तं पार्थं कर्णान्महारणात्॥

tadaiva kṛtakāryā hi vayaṃ syāma kurūdvaha| na rakṣed yadi kṛṣṇastaṃ pārthaṃ karṇānmahāraṇāt||

Operpetuator of Kuru's race, we could then have surely been successful had not Karna.

साश्वध्वजरथः संख्ये धृतराष्ट्र पतेद् भुवि। विना जनार्दनं पार्थो योगानीमीश्वरं प्रभूम्॥

sāśvadhvajarathaḥ saṃkhye dhṛtarāṣṭra pated bhuvi| vinā janārdanaṃ pārtho yogānīmīśvaraṃ prabhūm||

O Dhritarashtra, Partha, with his horse, charioteer and standard, would have been completely destroyed in battle, had he been deprived of the aid of Jannardana, that lord of all yoga prowess.

— tr. M.N. Dutt (1891–96) (public domain)

MBh 5 183.14

तैस्तैरुपायैर्बहुभी रक्ष्यमाणः च पार्थिवा जयत्यभिमुखः शत्रून् पार्थः कृष्णेन पालितः॥

Protected with various means and always defended by Krishna, Partha ever defeats his foes, encountering them.

स विशेषात् त्वमोघायाः कृष्णोऽरक्षत पाण्डवम्। हन्यात् क्षिप्रं हि कौन्तेयं शक्तिर्वृक्षमिवाशनिः॥

sa viśeṣāt tvamoghāyāḥ kṛṣṇo'rakṣata pāṇḍavam| hanyāt kṣipraṃ hi kaunteyaṃ śaktirvṛkṣamivāśaniḥ||

Indeed, it was Krishna that rescued Pritha's son from that death dealing Sakti otherwise that weapon would have quickly consumed the son of Kunti like the bolt of Heaven destroying a tree.

Dhritarashtra said My son in quarrelsome; his counsellors are so many fools. He is proud of his wisdom. He has thus overlooked the certain means that have given him victory.

sa vā karṇo mahābuddhiḥ sarvaśastrabhṛtāṃ varaḥ| na muktavān kathaṃ sūta tāmamoghāṃ dhanaṃjaye| 18||

Why, O Suta, did not Karna of high intelligence that foremost of all wielders of weapons discharge that fatal Sakti at Dhananjaya?

Or it may be that upon the fall of Pritha's son, he, of Vrishni's race, will appoint another among the Pandavas to act as the leader of them. Therefore let Krishna be slain.
