Let our army, clad in coats of mail, stand here in battle array ready to strike. Let Drona, Duryodhana, Bhishma, yourself, Drona's son and ourselves all fight with Partha. Do not, O Karna, act rashly. If we six are united and set forth our energy we may fight with or stand before Partha, fierce like the wielder of thunderbolt. With our soldiers in battle array, we, great bowmen as we are, will fight carefully with Arjuna as the Danavas fought with Vasava.
सैन्यास्तिष्ठन्तु संनद्धा व्यूढानीकाः प्रहारिणः॥ द्रोणो दुर्योधनो भीष्मो भवान् द्रौणिस्तथा वयम्। सर्वे युध्यामहे पार्थं कर्ण मा साहसं कृथाः॥ वयं व्यवसितं पार्थं वज्रपाणिमिवोद्यतम्। षड्रथाः प्रतियुध्येम तिष्ठेम यदि संहताः॥ व्यूढानीकानि सैन्यानि यत्ताः परमधन्विनः। युध्यामहेऽर्जुनं संख्ये दानवा इव वासवम्॥
