यदा शिखण्डी रथिनः प्रचिन्वन्भीष्मं रथेनाभियाता वरूथी । दिव्यैर्हयैरवमृद्नन्रथौघांस्तदा युद्धं धार्तराष्ट्रोऽन्वतप्स्यत्॥५-४७-३६॥
When Śikhaṇḍin, shielded by a chariot-formation, advances by chariot against Bhīṣma, pressing on and crushing through masses of chariots with exceptional steeds, then the Dhārtarāṣṭra will regret this war.
english translation
यदा द्रष्टा सृञ्जयानामनीके धृष्टद्युम्नं प्रमुखे रोचमानम् । अस्त्रं यस्मै गुह्यमुवाच धीमान्द्रोणस्तदा तप्स्यति धार्तराष्ट्रः॥५-४७-३७॥
When he sees Dhṛṣṭadyumna shining at the head of the Sṛñjaya host—he to whom the wise Droṇa imparted a secret teaching of weapons—then the Dhārtarāṣṭra will be stricken with distress.
english translation
यदा स सेनापतिरप्रमेयः पराभवन्निषुभिर्धार्तराष्ट्रान् । द्रोणं रणे शत्रुसहोऽभियाता तदा युद्धं धार्तराष्ट्रोऽन्वतप्स्यत्॥५-४७-३८॥
When that immeasurable commander routs the Dhārtarāṣṭras with volleys of arrows and, enduring the enemy’s pressure, advances in battle against Droṇa, then the Dhārtarāṣṭra will regret this war.
english translation
ह्रीमान्मनीषी बलवान्मनस्वी स लक्ष्मीवान्सोमकानां प्रबर्हः । न जातु तं शत्रवोऽन्ये सहेरन्येषां स स्यादग्रणीर्वृष्णिसिंहः॥५-४७-३९॥
Honorable, wise, strong, and steadfast—prosperous and the foremost champion among the Somakas—no other foe could ever endure him; among all, he would stand in the vanguard, the “lion of the Vṛṣṇis”.
english translation
ब्रूयाच्च मा प्रवृणीष्वेति लोके युद्धेऽद्वितीयं सचिवं रथस्थम् । शिनेर्नप्तारं प्रवृणीम सात्यकिं महाबलं वीतभयं कृतास्त्रम्॥५-४७-४०॥
And though one might say, “Do not choose me,” still, for the world’s sake we choose as our chariot-borne companion—unrivaled in war—Sātyaki, grandson of Śini: of great might, free from fear, and fully trained in arms.
