O Shalya, keeping either death or victory before me, I will fight with Dhananjaya today. There is none else but me who can fight on a single car with that Pandava resembling Death himself.
योत्स्याम्येनं शल्य धनंजयं वै मृत्युं पुरस्कृत्य रणे जयं वा॥ अन्यो हि न ह्येकरथेन मयों युध्येत यः पाण्डवमिन्द्रकल्पम्।
