Yudhishthira, the son of Kunti, Bhimasena and Arjuna and the two descendants of Pandu-the two sons of Madri followed him as he proceeded along. The powerful Chekitana and Dhrishtaketu, the lord of the Chedis, Drupada, Kashi and the great car-warrior Shikhandi and Dhrishtadyumna and Virata in company with his sons, the Kaikeya princes, all Kshatriyas followed the bull of the Kshatriya race to attain his object.
तं प्रयान्तमनुप्रायात् कुन्तीपुत्रो युधिष्ठिरः। भीमसेनार्जुनौ चोभो माद्रीपुत्रौ च पाण्डवौ।॥ चेकितानश्च विक्रान्तो धृष्टकेतुश्च चेदिपः। दुपदः काशिराजश्च शिखण्डी च महारथः॥ धृष्टद्युम्नः सपुत्रश्च विराटः केकयैः सह। संसाधनार्थ प्रययुः क्षत्रियाः क्षत्रियर्षभ॥
