अभिमन्युं बृहन्तं च द्रौपदेयांश्च सर्वशः । धृष्टद्युम्नमुखानेतान्प्राहिणोत्पाण्डुनन्दनः॥५-१९७-६॥

The son of Pāṇḍu dispatched Abhimanyu and Bṛhanta, and all the sons of Draupadī—these leaders headed by Dhṛṣṭadyumna.

english translation

भीमं च युयुधानं च पाण्डवं च धनंजयम् । द्वितीयं प्रेषयामास बलस्कन्धं युधिष्ठिरः॥५-१९७-७॥

Yudhiṣṭhira dispatched a second division of the host, assigning to it Bhīma, Yuyudhāna, and the Pāṇḍava Dhanañjaya (Arjuna).

english translation

भाण्डं समारोपयतां चरतां संप्रधावताम् । हृष्टानां तत्र योधानां शब्दो दिवमिवास्पृशत्॥५-१९७-८॥

As the gear was loaded and the troops moved about—hurrying and converging—the roar raised there by the exhilarated warriors seemed to reach the very sky.

english translation

स्वयमेव ततः पश्चाद्विराटद्रुपदान्वितः । तथान्यैः पृथिवीपालैः सह प्रायान्महीपतिः॥५-१९७-९॥

After that, the king himself set forth, accompanied by Virāṭa and Drupada, and together with other rulers of the earth.

english translation

भीमधन्वायनी सेना धृष्टद्युम्नपुरस्कृता । गङ्गेव पूर्णा स्तिमिता स्यन्दमाना व्यदृश्यत॥५-१९७-१०॥

The army—abounding in formidable archers and led at the fore by Dhṛṣṭadyumna—appeared like the Gaṅgā: full, steady, and flowing onward.
