| Dhritaraashtra said: O Sanjaya,
assembled in the holy field of Kurukshetra and eager to fight, what did my people and the Paandavas
do? (1.01)
Sanjaya said: Seeing the battle formation of the
Paandava's army, King Duryodhana approached his guru, Drona, and spoke these words: (1.02)
O master, behold this mighty army of the sons of Paandu,
arranged in battle formation by your talented disciple, the son of Drupada. (1.03)
There are many heroes and mighty archers equal to
Bheema and Arjuna in war such as Yuyudhaana and Viraata; and the great warrior, Drupada; (1.04)
Dhrishtaketu, Chekitaana, and the heroic King of Kaashi;
Purujit, Kuntibhoja, and the great man Saibya; (1.05)
The valiant Yudhaamanyu, the formidable Uttamauja,
the son of Subhadraa, and the sons of Draupadi; all of them are great warriors. (1.06)
