MBh 6 129.2
यदि नाम ह्ययं युद्धे वरयेत् त्वां युधिष्ठिर। अर्जुनं नकुलं चैव सहदेवमथापि वा॥ किमिदं साहसं राजंस्त्वया व्याहृतमीदृशम्। एकमेव निहत्याजौ भव राजा कुरुष्विति॥
yadi nāma hyayaṃ yuddhe varayet tvāṃ yudhiṣṭhira| arjunaṃ nakulaṃ caiva sahadevamathāpi vā|| kimidaṃ sāhasaṃ rājaṃstvayā vyāhṛtamīdṛśam| ekameva nihatyājau bhava rājā kuruṣviti||
What indiscreet words have you given vent to, O king, saying that killing one amongst us be you the king of Kurus. If, indeed, O Yudhishthira, Duryodhana selects you for battle or Arjuna or Nakula or Sahadeva, (what will be the consequence?

MBh 6 129.3
न समर्थानहं मन्ये गदाहस्तस्य संयुगे। एतेन हि कृता योग्या वर्षाणीह त्रयोदश॥ आयसे पुरुषे राजन् भीमसेनजिघांसया।

कथं नाम भवेत् कार्यमस्याभिर्भरतर्षभ॥ साहसं कृतवास्त्वं तु ह्यनुक्रोशानृपोत्तम।
kathaṃ nāma bhavet kāryamasyābhirbharatarṣabha|| sāhasaṃ kṛtavāstvaṃ tu hyanukrośānṛpottama|
How then, O best of Bharata's race will our object be accomplished? From pity, O best of kings, you have acted very indiscreetly.

नान्यमस्यानुपश्यामि प्रतियोद्धारमाहवे॥ ऋते वृकोदरात् पार्थात् स च नातिकृतश्रमः।
nānyamasyānupaśyāmi pratiyoddhāramāhave|| ṛte vṛkodarāt pārthāt sa ca nātikṛtaśramaḥ|
I do not at this moment see any match for Duryodhana except Pritha's son Vrikodara. His practice again, with the mace, is not so great.

balī bhīmaḥ samarthaśca kṛtī rājā suyodhanaḥ|| balavān vā kṛtī veti kṛtī rājan viśiṣyate|
Bhima is endued with might and prowess, King Duryodhana, however, is skillful. In a fight between might and skill, he, that is skillful, O king, always becomes successful.

सोऽयं राजंस्त्वया शत्रुः समे पथि निवेशितः॥ न्यस्तश्चात्मा सुविषमे कृच्छ्रमापादिता वयम्।
so'yaṃ rājaṃstvayā śatruḥ same pathi niveśitaḥ|| nyastaścātmā suviṣame kṛcchramāpāditā vayam|
Such an enemy, O king, you have, by your words placed in a comfortable and secure position. You have placed your oneself, however, in a difficult position. We have, for this, been placed in great peril.

गदाहस्तं विजेतुं वै शक्तः स्यादमरोऽपि हि॥ न त्वं भीमो न नकुलः सहदेवोऽथ फाल्गुनः। जेतुं न्यायेन शक्तोः वै कृती राजा सुयोधनः॥
gadāhastaṃ vijetuṃ vai śaktaḥ syādamaro'pi hi|| na tvaṃ bhīmo na nakulaḥ sahadevo'tha phālgunaḥ| jetuṃ nyāyena śaktoḥ vai kṛtī rājā suyodhanaḥ||
Neither you, nor Bhima, nor Nakula nor Sahadeva, nor Phalguna is capable of defeating Duryodhana in fair fight. King Duryodhana is endued with great skill.

sa kathaṃ vadase śatru yudhyasva gadayeti hi| ekaṃ ca no nihatyājau bhava rājeti bhārata||
How then, O Bharata, can you address to such a foe words such as these viz.,., "Fight, selecting the mace as the weapon and if you can kill one amongst us, you shall then be the king."

वृकोदरं समासाद्य संशयो वै जये हि नः। न्यायतो युध्यमानानां कृती ह्येष महाबलः॥
vṛkodaraṃ samāsādya saṃśayo vai jaye hi naḥ| nyāyato yudhyamānānāṃ kṛtī hyeṣa mahābalaḥ||
If Duryodhana meets Vrikodara amongst us wishing to fight fairly with him, even then our victory will hang in the balance. Duryodhana is highly powerful and skillful.

MBh 6 129.14
एकं वास्मान् निहत्य त्वं भव राजेति वै पुनः। नूनं न राज्यभागेषा पाण्डोः कुन्त्याश्च संततिः॥ अत्यन्तवनवासाय सृष्टा भैक्ष्याय वा पुनः।
ekaṃ vāsmān nihatya tvaṃ bhava rājeti vai punaḥ| nūnaṃ na rājyabhāgeṣā pāṇḍoḥ kuntyāśca saṃtatiḥ|| atyantavanavāsāya sṛṣṭā bhaikṣyāya vā punaḥ|
How could you say to him-"Killing only one amongst us be you the king." Forsooth the children of Pandu and Kunti are not destined to enjoy kingdom. They have been born for passing their lives in continued exile in the forest or in mendicancy.

गदिनं कोऽध मां पाप हन्तुमुत्सहते रिपुः। न्यायतो युद्ध्यमानश्च देवेष्वपि पुरन्दरः॥
gadinaṃ ko'dha māṃ pāpa hantumutsahate ripuḥ| nyāyato yuddhyamānaśca deveṣvapi purandaraḥ||
What enemy is there, O wretch, that would dare defeat me armed with this weapon? If it be a fair fight, Purandara himself, amongst the celestials, is not capable of doing it.

मा वृथा गर्ज कौन्तेय शारदाभ्रमिवाजलम्। दर्शयस्व बलं युद्धे यावत् तत् तेऽद्य विद्यते॥
mā vṛthā garja kaunteya śāradābhramivājalam| darśayasva balaṃ yuddhe yāvat tat te'dya vidyate||
Do not, O son of Kunti, roar uselessly in this way like autumnal clouds shorn of water. Display all the strength you posses in battle now.

bṛṃhanti kuñjarāstatra hayā dveṣanti cāsakṛt| śastrāṇi sampradīpyante pāṇḍavānāṃ jayaiṣiṇām||
The elephants began to grunt and the horses to neigh repeatedly. The weapons of the Pandavas who were filled with the desire of victory shone there. The elephants began to grunt and the horses to neigh repeatedly. The weapons of the Pandavas who were filled with the desire of victory shone there.
