Then the soldiers also filled with delight and desirous of earning fame, began to extol that foremost of regenerate ones, with Duryodhana at their head. Thereupon, O monarch, Drona spoke these words of Duryodhana.
सैनिकाच मुदा युक्ता वर्धयन्ति द्विजोत्तमम्। दुर्योधनं पुरस्कृत्य प्रार्थयन्तो महद् यशः। दुर्योधनं ततो राजन् द्रोणो वचनमब्रवीत्॥
