I will take revenge on Jayadratha,
I will take revenge on Jayadratha, who cheated in warm.
Tomorrow before sunset, I shall kill him.. I swear!
And if I am not able kill him, I shall immolate myself with my bow the Gandiva.

Don’t do that. Have you forgotten all my earlier advices (Bhagavath Geetha).
Be courageous, you are a warrior, a Kshatriya.
O! Brother of Bheema, those who killed your valiant son treacherously, they too should meet their end soon.
O! Son of Nanda! How can I return home without my son? How shall I face your sister (and my wife) Subhadra now that her son is dead?
For what, this war ? For what, the kingdom ? Death is better than this woe.
Our loss may be irreparable, but such wailing does not become a warrior like you
You have to avenge his death in war, and that victory shall earn you glroy
My beloved Abhimanyu ! My dear son! Why did you take such a risk?
O! Such a great tragedy! You are the bud that we have nurtured so lovingly. And today your neck is shattered by the greed of our enemies.
Dear Krishna ! Are you not aware of this tragic end to our dear Abhimanyu.
Intervening verse
While progressing by fighting vigorously with Kauravas, smashing their lotus shaped formation , Abhimanyu was treacherously killed by act the of deceit of Jayadratha. Hearing this news Arjuna fell unconscious on ground and then uttered these words in deep remorse.
O! Arjuna. your brothers, Dharmaja etc will not have any mishap in this war.
No doubt, today’s war which you led was matchless and you did it without any break.
With the grace of Lord Siva, you were able to kill all those suicide squads.
Exhaustion from the incessant battle is causing your worries. Let us go to the camp and take rest.
Sloka:
After slaying the suicide-squads called Samsapthakas , the Arjuna who returned happily in his chariot driven by Lord Krishna, suddenly started feeling uneasy for unknown reasons. He then asks Lord Krishna thus
Dear Keshava, who always has compassion to devotees, my mind is restless and worried for no reason.
My left eye-brow is twitching incessantly (a bad omen according to Indian belief), my voice is shattering, I am losing my courage. (I am seeing bad omens)
This scene opens with Arjuna and Lord Krishna returning from the battlefield after winning a hectic war with 'samsapthakas' (suicide squads) on the thirteenth day of the war. The enemies had strategically isolated Arjuna far away to the southern side of the main battlefield in order to facilitate Dronacharya to form a 'Padma Vyuha' (an army formation as a lotus flower) to capture Yudhisthira in the absence of Arjuna . No one except Arjuna had the knowledge to break this formation (Vyuha) and come out of it.
O! Beloved, I now have to leave for the war. You stay here unperturbed (with our son Suradha).
I shall kill our enemies in the war, and shall soon return victorious. Have no doubt.
