श्रुत्वा गृहीतं वार्ष्णेयं पाण्डवा हतचेतसः । निरुत्साहा भविष्यन्ति भग्नदंष्ट्रा इवोरगाः॥५-१२८-६॥
Hearing that the Vārṣṇeya has been detained, the Pāṇḍavas will lose heart and initiative, like serpents with broken fangs.

For that purpose, stepping out and standing together with Hārdikya, he said to Kṛtavarmā: “Quickly deploy the force.”
