सह युध्यामहे पार्थम् आगतं युद्धदुर्मदम् ॥
सैन्यास् तिष्ठन्तु संनद्धा व्यूढानीकाः प्रहारिणः ॥
द्रोणो दुर्योधनो भीष्मो भवान् द्रौणिस् तथा वयम् ॥
सर्वे युध्यामहे पार्थं कर्ण मा साहसं कृथाः ॥
वयं व्यवसितं पार्थं वज्रपाणिम् इवोद्यतम् ॥
षड्रथाः प्रतियुध्येम तिष्ठेम यदि संहताः ॥
व्यूढानीकानि सैन्यानि यत्ताः परमधन्विनः ॥
युध्यामहे ऽर्जुनं संख्ये दानवा वासवं यथा ॥
saha yudhyāmahe pārtham āgataṃ yuddhadurmadam ||
sainyās tiṣṭhantu saṃnaddhā vyūḍhānīkāḥ prahāriṇaḥ ||
droṇo duryodhano bhīṣmo bhavān drauṇis tathā vayam ||
sarve yudhyāmahe pārthaṃ karṇa mā sāhasaṃ kṛthāḥ ||
vayaṃ vyavasitaṃ pārthaṃ vajrapāṇim ivodyatam ||
ṣaḍrathāḥ pratiyudhyema tiṣṭhema yadi saṃhatāḥ ||
vyūḍhānīkāni sainyāni yattāḥ paramadhanvinaḥ ||
yudhyāmahe 'rjunaṃ saṃkhye dānavā vāsavaṃ yathā ||
'Let us fight Partha together, come and maddened with battle-fury. Let the troops stand armored, arrayed and ready to strike. Drona, Duryodhana, Bhishma, you, Drauni, and we -- let all of us fight Partha, Karna; do not act rashly. Against Partha, resolute, raised up like the bearer of the thunderbolt, we six charioteers can stand together, if we remain united. Having arrayed our troops, vigilant, the finest archers, let us fight Arjuna in battle, as the danavas fought Vasava.'

Kripa is not counseling cowardice but resolve. Against Arjuna, even great warriors need not bravado but unity.
