- vyāsa-nārada-saṁvādo nāma
- When the mendicant teachers who had given me knowledge left, even though I was of young age, I did as they instructed.
- Considering that her death was the mercy of the Lord who is concerned for the welfare of his devotees, I departed immediately for the north.
- Senses and body exhausted, thirsty and hungry, after bathing in a pool of a river, I performed ācamana and took rest.
- In that desolate forest, sitting at the base of a pippala tree, I concentrated by my intelligence on Paramātmā situated within my mind, as I had been taught.
- As I endeavored to see him in that lonely place the Lord, inexpressible by words, then spoke to me with affectionate words, which removed my grief.
- Oh! In this body you will not be able to see me again. But lax practitioners who still have some contamination cannot see me at all.
- By serving the devotees for even a short time, your intelligence became firmly fixed in Me. When you give up this body of low birth, you will become my associate.
- At the end of thousand yuga cycles, Brahmā awoke and Marīci, other sages and I appeared from the senses of Brahmā, who desired to create the universe again.
- With continuous worship of the Lord, by the grace of Mahā-viṣṇu, I travel outside and inside the universe with no obstacles at all.
- When I sing his glories, the Lord who makes any place that he touches holy, and who is attracted to those who sing his glories, quickly appears in my heart, as if being called.
- atha saptamo ’dhyāyaḥ
- Oh Sūta! When Nārada departed, what did the powerful Vyāsa do, having heard the advice of Nārada?
- And Vyāsa saw bhakti-yoga to the Lord which effectively destroys jīva’s saṁsāra. Learned Vyāsa then wrote the Bhāgavatam for ignorant people.
- ukadeva was fixed in the brahman, indifferent to everything, and enjoying in the self. Why did he study this elaborate work?
- After the warriors of both sides had met their end on the battlefield, and Duryodhana had his thigh broken by a blow from the club of Bhīma;
- At that time their mother hearing of the terrible death of her youthful sons, pained, eyes full of tears, began to lament. Arjuna spoke to pacify her.
- Sipping water and concentrating his mind, he released the weapon without knowing how to withdraw it, because his life was in danger.
- O Supreme Lord! What is this? I do not know where it has come from. This most ferocious fire is spread out in all directions.
- Seeing the great fire of their two weapons burning up the three worlds, all the citizens, afflicted by the heat, thought that this was the fire of final destruction.
- Eyes burning with anger, Arjuna quickly caught cruel Aśvatthāmā, and tied him up with rope like a beast.
- The knower of dharma does not kill an enemy who is a drunkard, or who is inattentive, insane, sleeping, young, a female, immobilised, surrendered, without chariot, or afraid.
- Arriving at his camp, Arjuna, whose friend and driver was Kṛṣṇa, offered Aśvatthāmā to his wife who was lamenting for her killed sons.
- Do not make Kṛpī, the mother of Aśvatthāmā and devoted to her husband, cry as I cry constantly with tearful face, pained by the death of my sons.
- Nakula and Sahadeva, Sātyaki, Arjuna, Kṛsṇa, and the women, were also happy with her words.
- You must fulfill your promise to Draupadī so that she is pacified. You must also act to please Bhīma, Draupadī, me and others.
- The method of killing the fallen brāhmaṇa is by shaving his head, taking away his wealth, and taking away his living place. One should not physically kill him.

- I repeatedly offer respects to Kṛṣṇa, the son of Vasudeva, who gave joy to Devakī, who was the child of Nanda and satisfier of the senses of the gopīs.
- I offer respects to you, with lotus navel, wearing a lotus garland, having lotus eyes, and lotus feet.
- O guru of the universe! May we have dangers in such situations continually, because in those dangers we will see you, and by that we will gain release from this material world.
- No one knows the intentions of the Lord who desires to hide himself in human form, who does not show favor or hatred to anyone, and about whom all men have different opinions.
- O soul of the universe! You are unborn and perform no actions, but you take birth and perform activities in the forms of animals, men and aquatics. This is extremely deceptive.
- Some say that you, though unborn, appeared as the son of Vasudeva in Devakī upon their request, in order to protect the world and kill the demons.
- Without your presence who are we, the Pāṇḍavas along with the Yadus with their fame and strength? We are like the senses without the jīva.
- O holder of the club! When you go, this land, marked with the special signs on your feet, will not glow as it does now.
- O brāhmaṇas! Yudhiṣṭhira, thinking of the killing of his friends, overcome with bewilderment arising from affection, due to material thinking, then spoke.
- Because I have killed children, brāhmaṇas, relatives, friends, paternal uncles, cousins, and gurus, I cannot be free from hellish punishments for ten thousand years.
- There is no sin for the king who kills the enemy in a righteous war, protecting the citizens. This rule does not apply to me.
- yudhiṣṭhira-rājya-pralambho nāma
- Having the shelter of brāhmaṇas, dharma and Kṛṣṇa, you should not live your life in suffering since that is dangerous and improper.
- I consider that this, which is unwelcome, has all been done to you by time, which controls the world and its protectors just as the wind controls the clouds.
- O King! No one can understand the plan of Kṛṣṇa because even those engaged in reasoning and scripture are bewildered by that inquiry.
- Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa, the original Nārāyaṇa, the puruṣa, who bewilders the world with his energy, secretly moves in the Yādava family.
- You think of Kṛṣṇa as your cousin, as a dear friend, as your selfless helper, and out of affection made him your counselor, messenger, and charioteer.
- Yudhiṣṭhira, hearing what he had said, then asked Bhīṣma, lying on a bed of arrows, about various dharmas while the sages were listening.
TRANSLATION
Nakula and Sahadeva, Sātyaki, Arjuna, Kṛsṇa, and the women, were also happy with her words.
COMMENTARY
They all agreed with her words. Yuyudhāna means Sātyaki.
|| 1.7.51 ||
tatrāhāmarṣito bhīmas tasya śreyān vadhaḥ smṛtaḥ |
na bhartur nātmanaś cārthe yo ’han suptān śiśūn vṛthā ||
TRANSLATION
At that time angry Bhīma spoke. “He who has killed the sleeping children without purpose, without benefit to his master or to himself, should be killed.”
|| 1.7.52 ||
niśamya bhīma-gaditaṁ draupadyāś ca catur-bhujaḥ |
ālokya vadanaṁ sakhyur idam āha hasann iva ||
TRANSLATION
Hearing the words of Bhīma and Draupadī, Kṛsṇa with four hands looked towards his friend Arjuna while smiling and spoke.
COMMENTARY
Bhīma favored killing Aśvatthāmā and Draupadī favored releasing him. The Lord assumed four arms to keep the two parties apart. Kṛṣna smiled slightly as if saying, „ O friend! Today I will test the sharpness of your intelligence.” He smiled and did not laugh.
|| 1.7.53 ||
śrī-bhagavān uvāca—
brahma-bandhur na hantavya ātatāyī vadhārhaṇaḥ |
mayaivobhayam āmnātaṁ paripāhy anuśāsanam ||
TRANSLATION
The Lord said:
One should not kill a fallen brāhmaṇa. But an aggressor should be killed. Please follow both of these instructions established in scripture made by me.
COMMENTARY
No brāhmaṇa should be killed. But Manu has said that if an aggressor approaches with the desire to kill, he can be killed, even if he is learned in Vedānta. Follow both of these instructions ordered by me, the maker of scriptures. Since Aśvatthāmā is still considered a brāhmaṇa, and since he is not an aggressor since he does not have a weapon in his hands, he should not be killed. That is my opinion. I told you previously to kill the fallen brāhmaṇa, but that was only to test you. Therefore, do not kill the fallen brāhmaṇa, but free him. Then I have said that the knower of dharma does not kill the enemy who is frightened or without a chariot, and also I have said it is best to kill him. But do not be the cause of killing him. His killing should take the form of being bound up. That is the real meaning of my words.
