एतच्छ्रुत्वा ततो राजा धृष्टद्युम्नं महारथम् । अब्रवीत्समितौ तस्यां वासुदेवस्य शृण्वतः॥६-४६-३१॥

Having heard this, the king then addressed Dhṛṣṭadyumna, the great chariot-warrior, in that assembly, while Vāsudeva listened.

english translation

धृष्टद्युम्न निबोधेदं यत्त्वा वक्ष्यामि मारिष । नातिक्रम्यं भवेत्तच्च वचनं मम भाषितम्॥६-४६-३२॥

Dhṛṣṭadyumna, understand this which I shall tell you, dear sir; and let not my spoken instruction be transgressed.

english translation

भवान्सेनापतिर्मह्यं वासुदेवेन संमतः । कार्त्तिकेयो यथा नित्यं देवानामभवत्पुरा । तथा त्वमपि पाण्डूनां सेनानीः पुरुषर्षभ॥६-४६-३३॥

You are my commander, approved by Vāsudeva. As Kārttikeya formerly became the constant general of the gods, so you too are the commander of the Pāṇḍavas, O bull among men.

english translation

स त्वं पुरुषशार्दूल विक्रम्य जहि कौरवान् । अहं च त्वानुयास्यामि भीमः कृष्णश्च मारिष॥६-४६-३४॥

Therefore you, O tiger among men, advance with valor and strike down the Kauravas in battle. I too shall follow you—Bhīma and Kṛṣṇa as well, revered sir.

english translation

माद्रीपुत्रौ च सहितौ द्रौपदेयाश्च दंशिताः । ये चान्ये पृथिवीपालाः प्रधानाः पुरुषर्षभ॥६-४६-३५॥

And the two sons of Mādrī together, and the sons of Draupadī clad in armor; and those other foremost rulers of the earth as well, O best of men.
