एतस्य तद्रथानीकं कथयन्ति रणप्रियाः । बहुत्वात्सागरप्रख्यं देवानामिव संयुगे॥५-१६८-६॥
Those devoted to warfare describe his chariot-division as vast—ocean-like in magnitude—like that of the gods in their legendary engagements.
english translation
क्षत्रधर्मा तु राजेन्द्र मतो मेऽर्धरथो नृप । धृष्टद्युम्नस्य तनयो बाल्यान्नातिकृतश्रमः॥५-१६८-७॥
O king, in my assessment he is devoted to kṣatriya-dharma and is regarded as an ‘ardha-ratha’, a chariot-warrior of middle rank. He is the son of Dhṛṣṭadyumna, and because of his youth he has not yet undergone great exertions.
english translation
शिशुपालसुतो वीरश्चेदिराजो महारथः । धृष्टकेतुर्महेष्वासः संबन्धी पाण्डवस्य ह॥५-१६८-८॥
Dhṛṣṭaketu, the heroic son of Śiśupāla—the king of Cedi—is a mahā-ratha and a great archer; he is indeed a kinsman of the Pāṇḍavas.
english translation
एष चेदिपतिः शूरः सह पुत्रेण भारत । महारथेनासुकरं महत्कर्म करिष्यति॥५-१६८-९॥
O Bhārata, this valiant lord of Cedi, together with his son—both mahā-rathas—will undertake a great deed that is difficult to accomplish.
english translation
क्षत्रधर्मरतो मह्यं मतः परपुरंजयः । क्षत्रदेवस्तु राजेन्द्र पाण्डवेषु रथोत्तमः । जयन्तश्चामितौजाश्च सत्यजिच्च महारथः॥५-१६८-१०॥
Parapuraṃjaya is, in my view, devoted to kṣatriya-dharma. O best of kings, Kṣatradeva on the Pāṇḍavas’ side is an excellent chariot-warrior; and Jayanta, Amitaujas, and Satyajit are mahā-rathas.
