न चैतद्विद्मः कतरन्नो गरीयो यद्वा जयेम यदि वा नो जयेयुः | यानेव हत्वा न जिजीविषामस्- तेऽवस्थिताः प्रमुखे धार्तराष्ट्राः

我们也不知道哪种对我们更好,是我们获胜,还是他们战胜我们。那些德里塔拉施特拉(Dhrtarastra)的儿子们,我们不愿杀死他们而活下去,但他们却正站在我们面前。
We do not know this as well as to which is the better for us, (and) whether we shall win, or whether they shall coner us. Those very sons of Dhrtarastra, by killing whom we do not wish to live, stand in confrontation.
我们不知道哪种情况对我们更好——是我们获胜,还是他们战胜我们。因为那些我们不愿杀死他们而活下去的人,正是德里塔拉施特拉(Dhrtarastra)的子孙,他们正站在我们面前。
. Whether we should coner [in the battle], or they should coner us-we do not know this viz., 'which [of those two] is better for us'. [For], having killed whom, we would not wish to live at all, the same persons stand before us as Dhrtarastra's men.
