And out of parental love, Dharma and the other celestials, duly invoked, will gather to help the Pandavas. I think that, to save them from Bhishma, Drona, and Kripa, the celestials will be filled with wrath resembling in its effects the stroke of a thunderbolt. Endowed with energy and well versed in arms, these tigers among men, the sons of Pritha, once joined with the celestials, cannot even be looked upon by human warriors. He who has the irresistible, excellent, and celestial Gandiva for his bow; he who possesses a pair of heavenly quivers obtained from Varuna — vast, ever full of arrows, and inexhaustible; he on whose banner, unimpeded as smoke in its motion, is set the image of a monkey of celestial origin; whose chariot has no equal on this earth girdled by the four seas, and whose rumble, heard by men, is like the rumble of clouds, terrifying the enemy like peals of thunder; he whom the whole world regards as superhuman in energy; he whom all the kings of the earth know as the conqueror of the very gods in battle; he who takes up five hundred arrows at once and, in the twinkling of an eye, looses them unseen by others over a great distance; that son of Pritha, a tiger among warriors on chariots and a scourge of enemies, whom Bhishma, Drona, Kripa, the son of Drona, and Shalya, king of the Madras, and indeed all impartial men, deem incapable of being vanquished even by earthly kings of superhuman prowess, when he stands ready for battle, who at one time looses whole five hundred arrows together, and who equals Kartavirya in the power of arms — that great archer Arjuna, equal to Indra or Upendra in valor — I see this great warrior working great destruction in this dreadful battle.
