Udyoga Parva, Adhyaya 31 — Yudhiṣṭhira’s Instructions to Sañjaya
Peace Appeal and Five-Village Proposal
Devanagari script
स त्वां गहें भारतानां विरोधा- दन्तो नूनं भवितायं प्रजानाम् । नो चेदिदं तव कर्मापराधात् कुरून् दहेत् कृष्णवर्त्मेव कक्षम्
Transliteration
sa tvāṃ garhe bhāratānāṃ virodhād anto nūnaṃ bhavitāyaṃ prajānām | no ced idaṃ tava karmāparādhāt kurūn dahet kṛṣṇavartmeva kakṣam ||
Translation
Sañjaya dit : «Je te blâme de semer la discorde parmi les Bhārata, car de cette hostilité viendra sûrement la ruine du peuple. Et si tu n’agis pas comme je t’y exhorte, alors, par la faute de tes actes, Arjuna brûlera les Kuru — comme le feu, suivant sa trace assombrie, dévore un fourré d’herbes sèches.»
