"Yourself, the son of Somadatta, the mighty car-warrior Karna, Ashvatthaman, Shalya, Vrishasena and Kripa supported with hundred thousand horses, sixty thousand chariots, fourteen thousand elephants with rent temples, twenty-one thousand foot-soldiers cased in armour, take up your stand behind me at a distance of twelve miles.
त्वं चैव सौमदत्तिश्च कर्णश्चैव महारथः। अश्वत्थामा च शल्यश्च वृषसेनः कृपस्तथा॥ शतं चाश्वसहस्राणां रथानामयुतानि षट्। द्विरदानां प्रभिन्नानां सहस्राणि चतुर्दश॥ पदातीनां सहस्राणि दंशितान्येकविंशतिः। गव्यूतिषु त्रिमात्रासु मामनासाद्य तिष्ठत॥
