Protected by the Kaikeyas and the Srinjayas and the great Panchalas, behold you with all these leading kings, seated together, this encounter that is about to take place between me and Bhima!-Hearing these words of Duryodhana, they did as requested. Then those kings sat down and shone like celestials in heaven.
केकयैः सृञ्जयैर्दृप्तं पञ्चालैश्च महात्मभिः । इदं व्यवसितं युद्धं मम भीमस्य चोभयोः॥ उपोपविष्टाः पश्यध्वं सहितैनूपपुङ्गवैः। श्रुत्वा दुर्योधनवचः प्रत्यपद्यन्त तत्तथा॥ ततः समुपविष्टं तत् सुमहद्रजमण्डलम्। विराजमानं ददृशे दिवीवादित्यमण्डलम्॥
