अहं चैनं प्रत्युदियामाचार्यो वा धनंजयम् । न तृतीयोऽस्ति राजेन्द्र सेनयोरुभयोरपि । य एनं शरवर्षाणि वर्षन्तमुदियाद्रथी॥५-१६६-३६॥
Either I or the Ācārya (Droṇa) could advance to meet Dhanaṃjaya; there is no third, O lord of kings, in either of the two armies who could confront him as he pours forth volleys of arrows.

जीमूत इव घर्मान्ते महावातसमीरितः । समायुक्तस्तु कौन्तेयो वासुदेवसहायवान् । तरुणश्च कृती चैव जीर्णावावामुभावपि॥५-१६६-३७॥
The son of Kuntī, fully equipped and supported by Vāsudeva, is like a rain-cloud at summer’s end driven by a mighty wind. He is young and supremely capable, while we both are aged.

मनोभिः सह सावेगैः संस्मृत्य च पुरातनम् । सामर्थ्यं पाण्डवेयानां यथाप्रत्यक्षदर्शनात्॥५-१६६-३९॥
With minds stirred by turmoil, they recalled the past and—based on what they had witnessed firsthand—reflected on the power and prowess of the sons of Pāṇḍu.
