Then, too, the ranks of the Sanshaptaka Kshatriya, O subduer of foes, these determined on the destruction of Savyasachin have made this resolution in their mind-Either we shall kill Arjuna or that one having the figure of a monkey on his flag will kill us.
तत्समाश्च महेष्वासा द्रोणद्रौणिकृपा अपि। संशप्तकानां वृन्दानि क्षत्रियाणां परंतप॥ अर्जुनं वयमस्मान् वा निहन्यात् कपिकेतनः। तं चालमिति मन्यन्ते सव्यसाचिवधे धृताः॥
