Shloka 10
भारत! महाधनुर्धर अर्जुनको आते देख समस्त प्राणियोंको यह विश्वास हो गया कि अब कर्ण महामनस्वी पाण्डुपुत्र अर्जुनके हाथसे अवश्य मारा जायगा,प्रयाहि शीघ्र॑ गोविन्द सूतपुत्रजिघांसया । “गोविन्द! अब मेरा रथ तैयार हो। उसमें पुनः उत्तम घोड़े जोते जायँ और मेरे उस विशाल रथमें सब प्रकारके अस्त्र-शस्त्र सजाकर रख दिये जायाँ। अअभ्वारोहियोंद्वारा सिखलाये और टहलाये गये घोड़े रथसम्बन्धी उपकरणोंसे सुसज्जित हो शीघ्र यहाँ आवें और आप सूतपुत्रके वधकी इच्छासे जल्दी ही यहाँसे प्रस्थान कीजिये”
sañjaya uvāca | bhārata! mahā-dhanurdharaṃ arjunaṃ āyāntaṃ dṛṣṭvā samasta-prāṇināṃ idaṃ viśvāsaḥ samajāyata—idānīṃ karṇaḥ mahāmanāḥ pāṇḍuputreṇa arjunena hastād avaśyaṃ haniṣyate | prayāhi śīghraṃ govinda sūtaputra-jighāṃsayā | “govinda! adhunā mama rathaḥ sajjīyatām; tasmin punaḥ uttamā aśvā yujyantām; mama tasmin viśāle rathe sarva-prakārāṇi astrāṇi śastrāṇi ca sajjīkṛtya nidhīyantām | aśvārūḍhaiḥ śikṣitāḥ paricāritāś ca aśvā ratha-sambandhi-upakaraṇaiḥ susajjitāḥ śīghram iha āgacchantu; bhavān ca sūtaputrasya vadha-icchayā kṣipram ito niṣkrāmatu”
Sañjaya said: “O Bhārata! Seeing the great bowman Arjuna advancing, all beings became convinced: ‘Now Karṇa, the high-minded one, will surely be slain by Pāṇḍu’s son Arjuna.’ ‘Go quickly, Govinda, with the intent to kill the charioteer’s son. Govinda, have my chariot made ready again; yoke the finest horses to it; and in that vast chariot arrange and place every kind of missile and weapon. Let the horses—trained and exercised by skilled riders—come here at once, fully equipped with the chariot’s gear. And you, with the desire to bring down the sūta’s son, depart from here without delay.’
