Beholding that superhuman array invincible in battle by the enemies, king Yudhishthira spoke these words to the son of Prishata, “O mighty warrior, O you who own steeds white as the pigeons, do you adopt such measures so that I may not this day be subjugated by the Brahmana (Drona)."
ततो युधिष्ठिरः प्रेक्ष्य व्यूहं तमतिमानुषम्॥ अजय्यमरिभिः संख्ये पार्षतं वाक्यमब्रवीत्। ब्राह्मणस्य वशं नाहमियामद्य यथा प्रभो। पारावतसवर्णाश्व तथा नीतिर्विधीयताम्॥
