Indeed, tell me how that battle took place between the great Pandavas and Bhishma and Karna and Kripa and Drona and Shalya and others, between, in fact, numerous other Kshatriyas well-skilled in arms, differing from one another in conduct and dress and coming from various kingdoms.
यथा तदभवद् युद्धं पाण्डवानां महात्मनाम्। भीष्मकर्णकृपद्रोणशल्यादिभिरनुत्तमम्॥ अन्येषां क्षत्रियाणां च कृतास्त्राणामनेकशः। नानावेषाकृतिमतां नानादेशनिवासिनाम्॥
