uvācha

भीष्मद्रोणप्रमुखतः सर्वेषां च महीक्षिताम्

uvācha — said

in full view of Bhishma and Drona and all the kings of the earth, and said: Son of Pritha, look at these Kurus gathered here.

तं तथा कृपयाऽविष्टमश्रुपूर्णाकुलेक्षणम्

uvācha — said

To him in that state — overcome with pity, his eyes brimming and troubled, sunk in grief — Krishna spoke these words.

तमुवाच हृषीकेशः प्रहसन्निव भारत

uvācha — said

And Krishna, as if smiling, said this to him — grieving there between the two armies.

सहयज्ञाः प्रजाः सृष्ट्वा पुरोवाच प्रजापतिः

uvācha — said

In the beginning the Lord of creatures brought forth beings together with sacrifice, and said: by this, flourish; let this be what grants your wishes.
