ते देवसहिताः पार्था न शक्याः प्रतिवीक्षितुम् । मानुषेण नरव्याघ्रा वीर्यवन्तोऽस्त्रपारगाः॥५-५९-११॥

Those Pārthas, accompanied by divine allies, cannot be effectively confronted by a mere human; they are tiger-like men, possessed of vigor and fully proficient in weapons.

english translation

दुरासदं यस्य दिव्यं गाण्डीवं धनुरुत्तमम् । वारुणौ चाक्षयौ दिव्यौ शरपूर्णौ महेषुधी॥५-५९-१२॥

He possesses the unassailable, divine Gāṇḍīva—the finest of bows—and two divine, inexhaustible quivers bestowed by Varuṇa, filled with arrows; he is a great wielder of missiles.

english translation

वानरश्च ध्वजो दिव्यो निःसङ्गो धूमवद्गतिः । रथश्च चतुरन्तायां यस्य नास्ति समस्त्विषा॥५-५९-१३॥

His banner bears a celestial monkey-emblem, unbound and drifting like smoke; and his chariot, within the fourfold array, has no equal in its gathered radiance.

english translation

महामेघनिभश्चापि निर्घोषः श्रूयते जनैः । महाशनिसमः शब्दः शात्रवाणां भयंकरः॥५-५९-१४॥

A roar, like a vast storm-cloud, is heard by the people; its sound is like a mighty thunderbolt, dreadful to adversaries.

english translation

यं चातिमानुषं वीर्ये कृत्स्नो लोको व्यवस्यति । देवानामपि जेतारं यं विदुः पार्थिवा रणे॥५-५९-१५॥

Whom the entire world deems superhuman in prowess—whom kings, in the stratagems of war, know as one able to overcome even the gods.
