युगान्ताग्निसमः क्रोधे सिंहग्रीवो महामतिः । एष भारत युद्धस्य पृष्ठं संशमयिष्यति॥५-१६४-११॥

In anger he is like the end-of-age fire—lion-necked and of mighty intellect. This man, O Bhārata, will bring the rear of the battle under control.

His father is of great radiance; though aged, he surpasses the young. In battle he will accomplish mighty work—of this I have no doubt.

Driven by the wind of weapon-impetus, like a fire rising from the fuel of army-formations, he—resolved upon victory—will consume the forces of the son of Pāṇḍu.

That bull among men—the son of Bhāradvāja—will be the leader of leaders of chariot-squadrons; he will undertake intense action for your advantage.

Among all the consecrated kings, he is the ācārya—an elder and a teacher. Yet for the Sṛñjayas, Dhanaṃjaya (Arjuna) is especially dear to him.
