Mahabharat

I will certainly emerge victorious in this battle.

I will become the emperor of all the kingdoms.

After me, my son Laxman...* *"Auspicious."

After him, his son will become the emperor.

If the last survivor of the Pandavas' lineage

is being nurtured in anyone's womb

he will be killed, before he is even born.

Listen carefully, mother.

I will die and the five Pandavas will survive...

Don't you even think of such a scenario.

Until I receive the news of the death

of those five brothers

my soul will not leave my body.

It won't.

I take that vow!

The King of Panchal Dhrupad, Commander Shikhandini

and Prince Dhrishtadyumna are entering!

Stay blessed.

Stay blessed.

Father

where are my sons?

Can a child stay away from his mother's love?

Mother, my life revolves around the inspiration

of my father Yudhisthir's righteousness.

Bless me that in the coming battle

I am able to live up to everyone's expectations.

Prativindhya *Prativindya means Drupadi's son. Other name: Shrutavindha "related to the Buddhi (righteousness)."

may you have a very long life.

Greetings, mother.

I am the heir to my father Bheem's strength.

Bless me, mother

so that I am able to crush the heads of my enemies.

So be it, Sutasom.* "Manifestation of the mind", because he was born after Bhima had performed a thousand Soma** sacrifices.)**A Vedic ritual drink, juice extract of Ephedra sinica stalk.

Mother, bless me so that I can make my father Arjun's powers

my achievements.

Every arrow you shoot

will be reinforced with my blessings, Sutakarma.* *Action taken by his son.

May you have a very long life.

Mother, bless me so that I become as effective

as the sharp sword of my father Nakul

against our enemies.

Satanika* *Named after a famous king in the Kuru lineage who had that name and he was considered to be an avatar of Visvadevas (various Vedic gods).

all your ambitions will be fulfilled.

You have my blessings.

Mother, bless me

so that like my father Sahadev

even my insight always helps our side.

Srutasena,* it will certainly be so. *With a famous army.

You will always have my blessings.

Mother

we will face every attack meant for our fathers.

You are my sons.

You are impossible to defeat on the battlefield.

And I will act as my brothers' shield.

Give me such a blessing.
