The Tusharas, the Yavanas, the Khashas, the Darbabhisaras, the Daradas, the Shakas, the Ramathas, the Tanganas, the Andhraks, the Pulindas, all of fierce temperament and awful deeds and the Kiratas of formidable prowess and the Mlechhas, the mountain tribes and the people inhabiting the sea coasts, all of whom are very powerful unflinching in battle and wielders of maces, have gathered round the standard of the Kurus and been fighting hard for Suyodhana. And none else but you, O scorcher of foes, could defeat them in battle.
उग्राश्च भीमकर्माणस्तुषारा यवनाः खशाः। दाभिसारा दरदाः शका माठरतङ्गणाः॥ आन्ध्रकाश्च पुलिन्दाश्च किराताश्चोग्रविक्रमाः। म्लेच्छाश्च पर्वतीयाश्च सागरानूपवासिनः॥ संरम्भिणो युद्धशौण्डा बलिनो दण्डपाणयः। एते सुयोधनस्यार्थे संरब्धाः कुरुभिः सह॥ न शक्या युधि निर्जेतुं त्वदन्येन परंतप।
