Sanjaya said Arjuna reported the promise made by Bhimasena, his brother that he shall face the whole army of chivalrous Samsaptakas alone to Sri Krishna, the god incarnated of Narayana and descendant of Vrishni clan. It was really very tough to materialise. Hence, he immediately inclined to see Yudhishthira for consult. In the meantime, he said to lord Krishna-
संजय उवाच तद् भीमसेनस्य वचो निशम्य सुदुष्करं भ्रातुरमित्रमध्ये। संशप्तकानीकमसामेकः सुदुष्करं धारयामीति पार्थः॥ उवाच नारायणमप्रमेय कपिध्वजः सत्यपराक्रमस्य। स्तदाहवे सत्यवतो महात्मा। द्रष्टुं कुरुश्रेष्ठमभिप्रयास्यन् प्रोवाच वृष्णिप्रवरं तदानीम्॥
