तथेमे पुरुषव्याघ्राः सहायास्तव पार्थिव । सर्वे दिव्यास्त्रविदुषः सर्वे युद्धाभिनन्दिनः॥५-१९५-१६॥

Likewise, O king, these tiger-like men are your allies—each learned in celestial weapons, and each one who delights in battle guided by strategy.

english translation

वेदान्तावभृथस्नाताः सर्व एतेऽपराजिताः । निहन्युः समरे सेनां देवानामपि पाण्डव॥५-१९५-१७॥

These men are purified by the completion of Vedic study and the concluding bath-rite; all of them are unconquered. In battle, O Pāṇḍava, they could rout even an army of the gods.

english translation

शिखण्डी युयुधानश्च धृष्टद्युम्नश्च पार्षतः । भीमसेनो यमौ चोभौ युधामन्यूत्तमौजसौ॥५-१९५-१८॥

Śikhaṇḍin, Yuyudhāna, and Dhṛṣṭadyumna the son of Pārṣata; Bhīmasena; both twins; and Yudhāmanyu and Uttamaujā—these are among your foremost supporters.

english translation

विराटद्रुपदौ चोभौ भीष्मद्रोणसमौ युधि । स्वयं चापि समर्थोऽसि त्रैलोक्योत्सादने अपि॥५-१९५-१९॥

Both Virāṭa and Drupada are, in combat, comparable to Bhīṣma and Droṇa. And you yourself are capable—even of laying the three worlds to ruin.

english translation

क्रोधाद्यं पुरुषं पश्येस्त्वं वासवसमद्युते । क्षिप्रं न स भवेद्व्यक्तमिति त्वां वेद्मि कौरव॥५-१९५-२०॥

O Kaurava, radiant like Vāsava (Indra): if you were to fix your gaze on a man in anger, he would not long remain composed and self-possessed—thus I understand you.
