Seeing the immaculate Bhishma and Drona equal to Indra and Vishnu, the grinders of the best of cars, elephants and horses and who are not to be killed by any, slain by the enemy I do not feel any fear in battle today.
महेन्द्रविष्णुप्रतिमावनिन्दतौ रथाश्वनागप्रवरप्रमाथिनौ। स्ततो न मेऽप्यस्ति रणे साध्वसम्॥
