There where remain Vrikodara and Arjuna and the Vrishni hero Satyaki and Uttamaujas of thie Panchala race and the indomitable Yudhamanyu and the invincible Dhristadyumna and the ever-victorious Sikhandin and the Ashmakas, Kekayas and Kshatradharinan of the Somaka clan, the ruler of the Chedis and Chekitana and Abhibhu the son of the Kasi king, the sons of Draupadi and Virata and the mighty car-warrior Drupada and those foremost of men the twins Nakula and Sahadeva and the slayer of Madhu as the counsellor. What man in this world desirous of living would venture to fight with these?
वृकोदरार्जुनौ यत्र वृष्णिवीरश्च सात्यकिः। उत्तमौजाश्च पाञ्चाल्यो युधामन्युश्च दुर्जयः॥ धृष्टद्युम्नश्च दुर्धर्षः शिखण्डी चापराजितः। अश्मकाः केकयाश्चैव क्षत्रधर्मा च सौमकिः॥ चैद्यश्च चेकितानश्च पुत्रः काश्यस्य चाभिभूः। द्रौपदेया विराटश्च दुपदश्च महारथः॥ यमो च पुरुषव्याघ्रौ मन्त्री च मधुसूदनः। क एताजातु युध्येत लोकेऽस्मिन् वै जिजीविषुः॥४२
