हन्यामहं द्रोणमृते हि लोकं न ते भयं विद्यते पाण्डवेभ्यः । ततो हि ते लब्धतमं च राज्यं क्षयं गताः पाण्डवाश्चेति भावः॥५-१६०-११॥
You think: ‘If Droṇa were absent, I could subdue the whole world; I have no fear of the Pāṇḍavas. Then I would gain the kingdom in full, and the Pāṇḍavas would go to ruin.’ Such is your assumption.
english translation
स दर्पपूर्णो न समीक्षसे त्वमनर्थमात्मन्यपि वर्तमानम् । तस्मादहं ते प्रथमं समूहे हन्ता समक्षं कुरुवृद्धमेव॥५-१६०-१२॥
Filled with pride, you do not examine the harm already dwelling within yourself. Therefore, in the very first engagement, before your eyes, I will be the one to bring down the Kuru elder.

सूर्योदये युक्तसेनः प्रतीक्ष्य ध्वजी रथी रक्ष च सत्यसंधम् । अहं हि वः पश्यतां द्वीपमेनं रथाद्भीष्मं पातयितास्मि बाणैः॥५-१६०-१३॥
At sunrise, with the forces arrayed, wait—standard raised, mounted on your chariot—and protect the one true to his vow. For I, while you watch, will with arrows make that ‘island,’ Bhīṣma, fall from his chariot.
english translation
श्वोभूते कत्थनावाक्यं विज्ञास्यति सुयोधनः । अर्दितं शरजालेन मया दृष्ट्वा पितामहम्॥५-१६०-१४॥
Tomorrow Suyodhana will learn what boastful speech amounts to, when he sees the Grandfather hard-pressed by me beneath a net of arrows.
english translation
यदुक्तश्च सभामध्ये पुरुषो ह्रस्वदर्शनः । क्रुद्धेन भीमसेनेन भ्राता दुःशासनस्तव॥५-१६०-१५॥
And what your brother Duḥśāsana said in the assembly—calling the enraged Bhīmasena ‘a man of insignificant appearance’—will also be answered.
