Arjuna, my friend, don’t be angry

you are dying for no reason

I am going to accomplish

whatever you have set your mind on

Don’t be sad, all the Brahmin’s

blessed boys are safe and

living with no distress at all,

let’s go and bring them

Enough of what you said, enough of this disgrace

I have had enough; I dropped your

name and boasted about it

enough is enough, I have decided!

A Brahmin weighed down with the loss of his son

heaped abuses on you

and yet you didn’t utter a single word in reply

what a disgrace this!

For a Kshatriya on this earth

it's better to embrace death

than see subjects being insulted

Don't be rash! Don't be reckless!

Am I not here for you?

Isn’t it known the world over that

you have no problem achieving anything?

All the help I gave you earlier

have you already forgotten?

What did I do to make you

even forget me, my friend?

Sloka:

After building a pyre with his arrows, and setting fire to it, Arjuna was about to jump into it when Krishna, the personification of generosity, reached there, stopped Arjuna and spoke thus.

Sloka:

After hearing his wife’s sobbing words from inside the labour room, the Brahmin was devastated and fainted. Just as a fire stoked by wind, the Brahmin rose up blinded by fury and condemned Arjuna in the strongest of terms.

O chaste woman, do not feel sad
do not make me worried, my beauty
to bring Arjuna the great archer
I am leaving now and will be back soon.
 
My dearest, be bold, O well-mannered.

Sloka:

Listening to mother’s words, that proud one, approached the noble Brahmin and and spoke thus, thinking that he would end his own starvation by the food and the demon with his hand.
 

Hey the crown of Brahmin, Listen to my words

The offerings for the demon – to take them quickly – and by the instructions of my mother – For sure I have come here
Without wasting any more time – send me with the foodstuff of the strong demon, in full

As and when you desire in your mind, I shall present myself before you, without delay
