दुर्योधन उवाच । उभौ स्व एकजातीयौ तथोभौ भूमिगोचरौ । अथ कस्मात्पाण्डवानामेकतो मन्यसे जयम्॥५-५६-३६॥
Duryodhana said: “Both sides are our own kinsmen, and both are warriors who tread upon this earth. Why then do you think victory will belong to the Pāṇḍavas alone?”
english translation
पितामहं च द्रोणं च कृपं कर्णं च दुर्जयम् । जयद्रथं सोमदत्तमश्वत्थामानमेव च॥५-५६-३७॥
And Bhīṣma the grandsire, and Droṇa, and Kṛpa, and Karṇa—hard to overcome—along with Jayadratha, Somadatta, and Aśvatthāman as well.
english translation
सुचेतसो महेष्वासानिन्द्रोऽपि सहितोऽमरैः । अशक्तः समरे जेतुं किं पुनस्तात पाण्डवाः॥५-५६-३८॥
Even Indra, accompanied by the immortals, is unable to conquer those noble-minded great archers in battle; how much less then, O dear one, the Pāṇḍavas?
english translation
सर्वा च पृथिवी सृष्टा मदर्थे तात पाण्डवान् । आर्यान्धृतिमतः शूरानग्निकल्पान्प्रबाधितुम्॥५-५६-३९॥
Indeed, O dear one, the whole earth was created for my sake—so as to crush the Pāṇḍavas: those noble, steadfast heroes, blazing like fire.
english translation
न मामकान्पाण्डवास्ते समर्थाः प्रतिवीक्षितुम् । पराक्रान्तो ह्यहं पाण्डून्सपुत्रान्योद्धुमाहवे॥५-५६-४०॥
Those Pāṇḍavas are not capable of even facing my men. For I am full of valor, and I will fight Pāṇḍu’s sons—together with their followers—in battle.
