Also know, O best among the twice born, the
distinguished ones on our side. I name the commanders of my army for your information. (1.07)
Yourself, Bheeshma, Karna, and the victorious
Kripa; Ashvatthaamaa, Vikarna, and the son of Somadatta. (1.08)
And many other heroes who have risked their lives for
me. They are armed with various weapons, and all are skilled in warfare. (1.09)
Our army, commanded by Bheeshma, is invincible; while
their army, protected by Bheema, is easy to conquer. (1.10)
Therefore all of you, occupying your respective positions
on all fronts, protect Bheeshma only. (1.11)
The mighty Bheeshma, the eldest man of the Kuru
dynasty, roared as a lion and blew his conch loudly bringing joy to Duryodhana. (1.12)
