Can destroy the army of the Pandavas, O most excellent of kings, in the twinkling of an eye. And O best of the Kurus, O mighty armed one, they too can destroy the army of the Kauravas within the twinkling of an eye, if we are not present in battle. We are fighting with Pandavas putting forth our utmost prowess and they too are battling with us to the best of their might.
निमेषात् पाण्डवीं सेनां क्षपयेम नृपोत्तम॥ ते चापि कौरवीं सेनां निमेषार्धात् कुरूद्वह। क्षपयेयुर्महाबाहो न स्याम यदि संयुगे॥ युध्यतां पाण्डवाञ्छक्त्या तेषां चास्मान् युयुत्सताम्।
