Then Daruka appeared with the great white chariot: it was adorned with ringing bells and a network of gold, light, thundering like a cloud, well-equipped, white, covered with tiger-skin, and fitted with a guard rail, yoked with Sainya and Sugriva. Likewise appeared the hero Kritavarman, Hardikya, esteemed among the Vrishnis, standing upon his own chariot. When Shauri, subduer of foes, was already standing by his ready chariot about to set out, the great King Dhritarashtra addressed him again: "O Janardana, you see what power I have over my sons. All this lies before you; for you, scourge of foes, nothing is hidden."
