धृष्टद्युम्नश्च पाञ्चाल्यः शिखण्डी च महारथः । युयुधानश्च विक्रान्तो देवैरपि दुरासदः॥५-१५०-६॥

And Dhṛṣṭadyumna of Pāñcāla, and Śikhaṇḍin the great chariot-warrior, and the valiant Yuyudhāna—difficult to withstand even for the gods—(were there).

english translation

एतदिच्छाम्यहं श्रोतुं विस्तरेण तपोधन । कुरूणां पाण्डवानां च यद्यदासीद्विचेष्टितम्॥५-१५०-७॥

“This I wish to hear in detail, O ascetic rich in austerity: whatever actions were undertaken by the Kurus and by the Pāṇḍavas.”

english translation

वैशंपायन उवाच । प्रतियाते तु दाशार्हे राजा दुर्योधनस्तदा । कर्णं दुःशासनं चैव शकुनिं चाब्रवीदिदम्॥५-१५०-८॥

Vaiśaṃpāyana said: “When the Dāśārha (Kṛṣṇa) had departed, King Duryodhana then addressed Karṇa, Duḥśāsana, and also Śakuni as follows.”

english translation

अकृतेनैव कार्येण गतः पार्थानधोक्षजः । स एनान्मन्युनाविष्टो ध्रुवं वक्ष्यत्यसंशयम्॥५-१५०-९॥

“Adhokṣaja (Kṛṣṇa) has gone to the sons of Pṛthā with the matter still unresolved; and, impelled by indignation, he will certainly speak against us—without doubt.”

english translation

इष्टो हि वासुदेवस्य पाण्डवैर्मम विग्रहः । भीमसेनार्जुनौ चैव दाशार्हस्य मते स्थितौ॥५-१५०-१०॥

Indeed, Vāsudeva favors that I be drawn into conflict with the Pāṇḍavas; and Bhīmasena and Arjuna, too, stand aligned with the counsel of the Dāśārha.
