Sloka:

 

Krishna, who was happily received by all the royals in the court including Bheeshma, respectfully addresses Dhritharashtra who only possesses inner vision.

 

 

Krishna: (Parthivapathe)

 

O king of kings, please listen

I am Krishna, envoy of the Pandavas;

What I am going to say is all on their behalf

 

The evil deeds your sons did in the past

the Pandavas have forgiven,

and are begging you for their share

 

Please understand the import of my mission,

invite the Pandavas here,

then grant them half the kingdom 

 

If you do not, then have no doubt

Arjuna will kill all your sons.

Don’t cry later; they have me on their side
