अहं पश्चादर्जुनमभ्यरक्षं माद्रीपुत्रौ भीमसेनश्च चक्रे । गाण्डीवभृच्छत्रुसंघानुदस्य स्वस्त्यागमत्कच्चिदेनं स्मरन्ति॥५-२३-२६॥

I guarded Arjuna from the rear; Bhīmasena protected the two sons of Mādrī. The bearer of Gāṇḍīva, having driven back hostile formations, returned safely—do they still remember him?

english translation

न कर्मणा साधुनैकेन नूनं कर्तुं शक्यं भवतीह संजय । सर्वात्मना परिजेतुं वयं चेन्न शक्नुमो धृतराष्ट्रस्य पुत्रम्॥५-२३-२७॥

Surely, O Sañjaya, nothing can be accomplished here by a single good act alone, if we are unable, with full commitment, to decisively prevail over Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s son.
