भैमसेनिर्महाराज हैडिम्बो राक्षसेश्वरः । मतो मे बहुमायावी रथयूथपयूथपः॥५-१६९-६॥

O great king, Haiḍimba, lord of the Rākṣasas and allied with Bhīmasena, is, in my view, highly adept in stratagems and a commander of chariot-squadrons.

english translation

योत्स्यते समरे तात मायाभिः समरप्रियः । ये चास्य राक्षसाः शूराः सचिवा वशवर्तिनः॥५-१६९-७॥

Dear one, fond of battle, he will fight in the conflict by means of wiles and stratagems; and his courageous Rākṣasa warriors—attendants and advisers—act under his command.

english translation

एते चान्ये च बहवो नानाजनपदेश्वराः । समेताः पाण्डवस्यार्थे वासुदेवपुरोगमाः॥५-१६९-८॥

These, and many other rulers of diverse realms, have assembled for the Pāṇḍava’s cause, with Vāsudeva at their forefront.

english translation

एते प्राधान्यतो राजन्पाण्डवस्य महात्मनः । रथाश्चातिरथाश्चैव ये चाप्यर्धरथा मताः॥५-१६९-९॥

O king, these are, in particular, the principal chariot-warriors of the great-souled Pāṇḍava—those classed as rathas, atirathas, and also those regarded as ardha-rathas.

english translation

नेष्यन्ति समरे सेनां भीमां यौधिष्ठिरीं नृप । महेन्द्रेणेव वीरेण पाल्यमानां किरीटिना॥५-१६९-१०॥

O king, in the engagement they will lead the formidable army of Yudhiṣṭhira—protected by the hero Kirīṭin (Arjuna), like an army guarded by Mahendra (Indra).
