I shall frustrate the valour of our enemies
I shall frustrate the valour of our enemies, the Pandavas. My sword shall sever their five heads, for sure. I am starting now with a huge army.

Efforts by Lord Sri Krishna to avert the war failed.. War was imminent and both sides were preparing for it. A messenger from King Duryodhana came to King Jayadratha’s court to request him to participate in the war.
O! Respected King of Sindhu, I am bowing before thee, who are the abode of valour and strength. I am a messenger sent by your brother-in-law, King Duryodhana.
The cunning Yadava (Krishna) came as an envoy from the son of Kunthi (Yudhishtira).
He requested that Duryidhana hand over half of his kingdom as a condition for peace.
As the sea rolls out a beautiful carpet of waves to welcome her
Blushing with love, she nears the Moon
Jasmine flowers with blossoming smiles welcomes her
And the gentle breeze fans her
The birds nesting with sweet songs
Act as a good omen for her
Darling, you were created (by Brahma) with all lovely things in the world like beautiful flowers, fragrant sandal paste mixed with the moon rays (according to mythology moon-light contains the essence of 'Amurth' - nectar).
Darling, the swans are bewitched by your exquisite incomparable gait and they try to imitage you.
The beautiful autumn night arrives in its chariot.
Wearing a beautiful necklace of stars
Do you think that me , this mighty King of Sindhu,
Will be enamored by the worthless Draupadi who is wed to five men
Loathe for her husbands, and not lust for her, bid me do it
And after my fight with them, I went to the deep forest
Where I prayed to Lord Shiva and received boons from him
So powerful that those enemies now are trivial grass to me
You are fond of that Draupadi ,
You are cheating me and all these are gestures are just 'drama'.
All around us, people are narrating your ill deeds
Yet you are shameless; as if these are feathers to your cap
Of your misdeeds in the Kamakya forest, I have learned from my maids.
You abducted Draupadi when she was alone
Her husbands came and rescued her
They fought with you and you were vanquished.
Oh! King ! and how they then humiliated you !
Sloka:
In the lovely evening as parrots and cuckoos sang sweetly, the beautiful Queen Dussala was sitting in the garden in grief. Her husband, Jayadratha, the valorous king appeared and told her thus in a sweet, romantic mood;
Please come near, my dear, oh! one with honeyed lips.
Dear (you are the) embodiment all fine qualities, why are you annoyed?
Your face, always like the bright morning sky.
Now for what reason, is it disturbed and cloudy?
This is the (evening) time to enjoy in the majestic garden with sweet love talk.
After bowing and saluting the Lotus feet of Sri Parameswra, the deity of Sri Vaikom Temple, with much reverence and devotion, the story depicting the ‘Remorse of Arjuna’, is now being presented before this learned audience; Let that Lord Nataraja, who is fond of dancing bestow all blessings.
