Then, heartening them all, Dhṛṣṭadyumna spoke: “O Pārtha, long ago Śambhu ordained me as the one who would bring about Droṇa’s end.”

रणे भीष्मं तथा द्रोणं कृपं शल्यं जयद्रथम् । सर्वानद्य रणे दृप्तान्प्रतियोत्स्यामि पार्थिव॥६-४६-३७॥
In battle I shall confront Bhīṣma, and also Droṇa, Kṛpa, Śalya, and Jayadratha—indeed all who today are proud and confident in war, O king.
english translation
अथोत्क्रुष्टं महेष्वासैः पाण्डवैर्युद्धदुर्मदैः । समुद्यते पार्थिवेन्द्रे पार्षते शत्रुसूदने॥६-४६-३८॥
Then a mighty acclaim rose from the Pāṇḍavas—great archers, exultant for battle—when the Pārṣata, subduer of foes, stood ready for the fight.

तमब्रवीत्ततः पार्थः पार्षतं पृतनापतिम् । व्यूहः क्रौञ्चारुणो नाम सर्वशत्रुनिबर्हणः॥६-४६-३९॥
Then Pārtha addressed Pārṣata (Dhṛṣṭadyumna), commander of the host: “The battle formation is called Krauñcāruṇa, a disposition meant to subdue all opposing forces.”
english translation
यं बृहस्पतिरिन्द्राय तदा देवासुरेऽब्रवीत् । तं यथावत्प्रतिव्यूह परानीकविनाशनम् । अदृष्टपूर्वं राजानः पश्यन्तु कुरुभिः सह॥६-४६-४०॥
“That very formation which Bṛhaspati once taught to Indra in the war between devas and asuras—counter-array it properly, for it is designed to destroy the enemy divisions. Let the kings, together with the Kurus, behold what they have never seen before.”
