Every day the venerable grandfather of the Kuru (Bhishma) and the son of Bharadvaja (Drona) when they rose in the morning with concentrated mind, said “Victory to the Pandavas". Those chastisers of foes fought for your sake only because they had given the pledge.
अहन्यहनि पार्थानां वृद्धः कुरुपितामहः। भरद्वाजात्मजश्चैव प्रातरुत्थाय संयतौ॥ जयोऽस्तु पाण्डुपुत्राणामित्यूचतुररिंदम। युयुधाते तवार्थाय यथा स समयः कृतः॥
