एतेषां बहुसाहस्रा रथा नागा हयास्तथा । योत्स्यन्ते ते तनुं त्यक्त्वा कुन्तीपुत्रप्रियेप्सया॥५-१६७-६॥

For these leaders there are many thousands of chariots, elephants, and horses; they will enter the decisive engagement, even at the cost of their bodies, seeking what is dear to the sons of Kuntī.

english translation

पाण्डवैः सह राजेन्द्र तव सेनासु भारत । अग्निमारुतवद्राजन्नाह्वयन्तः परस्परम्॥५-१६७-७॥

O lord of kings, O Bhārata, within your armies they will challenge one another alongside the Pāṇḍavas, like fire and wind, O king.

english translation

अजेयौ समरे वृद्धौ विराटद्रुपदावुभौ । महारथौ महावीर्यौ मतौ मे पुरुषर्षभौ॥५-१६७-८॥

Virāṭa and Drupada—both advanced in years—are, in my view, unconquerable in battle: mahārathas of great power, preeminent among men.

english translation

वयोवृद्धावपि तु तौ क्षत्रधर्मपरायणौ । यतिष्येते परं शक्त्या स्थितौ वीरगते पथि॥५-१६७-९॥

Though advanced in age, those two are devoted to kṣatriya-dharma; established on the path of heroic conduct, they will strive with their utmost capacity.

english translation

संबन्धकेन राजेन्द्र तौ तु वीर्यबलान्वयात् । आर्यवृत्तौ महेष्वासौ स्नेहपाशसितावुभौ॥५-१६७-१०॥

O best of kings, through ties of relationship—and by virtue of their valor, strength, and lineage—those two great bowmen, of noble conduct, are both bound by bonds of affection.
