arjunayudhiṣṭhirayoḥ vākhye
In the sentence between Arjuna and Yudhiṣṭhira;
arjuna uvāca॥
Arjuna said.
bhīma jyeṣṭho gurur me tvaṁ nāto'nya dvaktum utsahe। dhṛtarāṣṭro hi rājarṣiḥ sarvathā mānam arhati॥15-18-1॥
O Bhīma, you are my elder and venerable one; therefore, I am not able to say anything else. Dhṛtarāṣṭra, indeed, as a royal sage, in every way deserves honor. (15-18-1)
na smaranti aparāddhāni smaranti sukṛtāni ca। asambhinnārtha-maryādāḥ sādhavaḥ puruṣottamāḥ॥15-18-2॥
The excellent and virtuous men, who never transgress proper bounds, do not remember others’ offenses, but do remember good deeds. (15-18-2)
idaṃ mad-vacanāt kṣattaḥ kauravaṃ brūhi pārthivam। yāvad icchati putrāṇāṃ dātuṃ tāvad dadāmy aham ॥15-18-3॥
O Kṣatta, speak this from my side to the Kaurava, O king: I will give as much share of the sons as he desires. (15-18-3)
bhīṣmādīnāṃ ca sarveṣāṃ suhṛdām upakāriṇām। mama kośād iti vibho mā bhūd bhīmaḥ sudurmanāḥ॥15-18-4॥
O lord, let Bhīma not be very dejected in mind thinking, "Of Bhīṣma and others, and of all benefactors and friends, (gifts have been given) from my treasury." (15-18-4)
vaiśampāyana uvāca॥
Vaiśampāyana said.
ityukte dharmarājastam arjunaṃ pratyapūjayat। bhīmasenaḥ kaṭākṣeṇa vīkṣāṃ cakre dhanañjayam ॥15-18-5॥
When these words were spoken, Dharmarāja (Yudhiṣṭhira) honored Arjuna in return. Bhīmasena cast a sidelong glance at Dhanañjaya (Arjuna). (15-18-5)
tataḥ sa viduraṃ dhīmān vākyam āha yudhiṣṭhiraḥ। na bhīmasene kopaṃ sa nṛpatiḥ kartum arhati॥15-18-6॥
Then the wise Yudhishthira said to Vidura: "The king should not become angry with Bhimasena." (15-18-6)
parikliṣṭo hi bhīmo'yaṃ himavṛṣṭyātapādibhiḥ. duḥkhairbahuvidhairdhīmānaranye viditaṃ tava ॥15-18-7॥
This Bhīma is indeed much afflicted by cold, rain, heat, and other such sufferings of many kinds in the forest, as is well known to you. (15-18-7)
kiṁ tu mad-vachanād brūhi rājānaṁ bharatarṣabham। yady adicchasi yāvat ca gṛhyatām mad-gṛhād iti ॥15-18-8॥
But, tell the king, the foremost of the Bharatas, on my behalf: 'Whatever you wish, take as much as you like from my house.' (15-18-8)
yanmātsaryamayaṃ bhīmaḥ karoti bhṛśaduḥkhitaḥ। na tanmanasi kartavyamiti vācyaḥ sa pārthivaḥ ॥15-18-9॥
One should tell that king: "That which Bhīma does out of envy and great distress, do not let it be held in your mind or followed." (15-18-9)
yanm amāsti dhanaṃ kiñcid arjunasya ca veśmani। tasya svāmī mahārāja iti vācyaḥ sa pārthivaḥ ॥15-18-10॥
Whatever little wealth I possess in the house of Arjuna, its master should be addressed as 'great king'; he is the king. (15-18-10)
dadātu rājā viprebhyo yatheṣṭaṃ kriyatāṃ vyayaḥ. putrāṇāṃ suhṛdāṃ caiva gacchatvānṛṇyamadya saḥ ॥15-18-11॥
Let the king give to the brāhmaṇas as is desired and let the necessary expenditure be made; as for his sons and friends, let him ensure today that he is free from debt. (15-18-11)
idaṁ cāpi śarīraṁ me tavāyattaṁ janādhipa. dhanāni ceti viddhi tvaṁ kṣattar nāsty atra saṁśayaḥ ॥15-18-12॥
This body of mine is also dependent on you, O lord of men. Know, O Kshatta, that my wealths are also so; there is no doubt about this. (15-18-12)
