श्रुतायुश्चित्रसेनश्च पुरुमित्रो विविंशतिः । शलो भूरिश्रवाश्चोभौ विकर्णश्च तवात्मजः॥५-५४-६१॥

Śrutāyu, Citrasena, Purumitra, Viviṃśati; Śala and Bhūriśravas—both; and Vikarṇa, your own son.

english translation

अक्षौहिण्यो हि मे राजन्दशैका च समाहृताः । न्यूनाः परेषां सप्तैव कस्मान्मे स्यात्पराजयः॥५-५४-६२॥

For I have assembled eleven akṣauhiṇīs, O king. The opponents have only seven; why, then, should there be defeat for me?

english translation

बलं त्रिगुणतो हीनं योध्यं प्राह बृहस्पतिः । परेभ्यस्त्रिगुणा चेयं मम राजन्ननीकिनी॥५-५४-६३॥

Bṛhaspati has declared that one should engage even a force threefold inferior. And this army of mine, O king, is threefold greater than that of the opponents.

english translation

गुणहीनं परेषां च बहु पश्यामि भारत । गुणोदयं बहुगुणमात्मनश्च विशां पते॥५-५४-६४॥

O Bhārata, I behold many deficiencies in others; yet, O lord of the people, I also perceive within myself the arising of qualities—indeed, many qualities.

english translation

एतत्सर्वं समाज्ञाय बलाग्र्यं मम भारत । न्यूनतां पाण्डवानां च न मोहं गन्तुमर्हसि॥५-५४-६५॥

Having understood all this—the superiority of my forces, O Bhārata, and the relative deficiency of the Pāṇḍavas—you ought not to fall into confusion.
