"Valiant, he thunders with the roar of chariots like a great storm-cloud; built like a lion, with a lion's stride, lion's chest, mighty arms, a lion's breast, great strength, a lion's roar, lion-like shoulders, and great splendor. He has beautiful brows, teeth, jaw, arms, face, a sturdy body, fair collarbones, wide eyes, fine feet, and a firm stance. Invulnerable to every weapon, like a furious elephant, he was born for the destruction of Drona, truthful and master of his senses. I think that Dhrishtadyumna will withstand the arrows of Bhishma, like the vajra and thunderbolt, blazing-mouthed, like serpents."

In this chapter the peace negotiations finally give way to the organizing of war. The Pandavas choose their military leader not out of pride but through counsel, experience, and trust in Krishna; their advance toward Kurukshetra is then described as orderly, sacrificially prepared, and surrounded by allies. Dharma shows itself here not as a refusal to act but as the right ordering of an inevitable duty.
