Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 1.6.119:

किन्त्व् इदानीम् अपि भवान् यदि तान् नानुकम्पते ।
यम एव तदा सर्वान् वेगेनानुग्रहीष्यति ॥ ११९ ॥

kintv idānīm api bhavān yadi tān nānukampate |
yama eva tadā sarvān vegenānugrahīṣyati || 119 ||

However, now if You do not show mercy to the present folks, then Yamarāja will quickly show mercy upon them, because only by his mercy will their distress and lamentation be alleviated, which has arisen from separation from friends and relatives.
