Purport
Some ācāryas include the following two verses in the text of this chapter, and Śrīla Prabhupāda has also translated them in Kṛṣṇa:
evaṁ tayor mahā-rāja yudhyatoḥ sapta-viṁśatiḥ dināni niragaṁs tatra suhṛd-van niśi tiṣṭhatoḥ
ekadā mātuleyaṁ vai prāha rājan vṛkodaraḥ na śakto ’haṁ jarāsandhaṁ nirjetuṁ yudhi mādhava
“At the end of each day’s fighting, they lived at night as friends in Jarāsandha’s palace, and the next day they fought again. In this way they passed twenty-seven days in fighting. On the twenty-eighth day, Bhīmasena told Kṛṣṇa, ‘My dear Kṛṣṇa, must frankly admit that I cannot conquer Jarāsandha.’”
