Reckless in their lives, all these warriors have joined with Duryodhana and are filled with eagerness to fight the Pandavas. O hero of the Dasharha race, I would not wish you to enter their midst. How, O destroyer of foes, will you go into the midst of these many enemies of yours, evil-souled men, seated together? O mighty-armed one, you are indeed incapable of being conquered even by the gods themselves, and I know, O slayer of foes, your manliness and your wisdom.
