I have not come for war

English

I have not come for war. I have come as the protector of the sacrificial horse.

My elder brother is conducting a Yaga, and as per his directive I am following this horse.

Please tell me, who killed your son. I shall take revenge on him.

 

My beloved Abhimanyu

English

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.

 

O! Respected King of Sindhu

English

Sloka:
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.

Darling, you were created (by Brahma) with all lovely things

English

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

 

 

Please come near, my dear

English

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.
