'I myself, or the teacher, could go forth against Dhananjaya; there is no third in either army, O king of kings, who, being a ratha, could rise to meet him when he pours down showers of arrows. Like a rain cloud at the end of the hot season, driven by a mighty wind, so equipped is the son of Kunti, having Vasudeva as his helper; he is young and skilled, while we two are already old.' Sanjaya said: Having heard these words of Bhishma, the mighty arms of the kings, adorned with golden bracelets and anointed with sandalwood, then grew weak. Their minds were stirred with agitation as they recalled the ancient might of the Pandavas, witnessed by them with their own eyes.

Bhishma sharply checks Karna, but he does so to preserve the army: before a battle begins, discord within is more dangerous than the enemy without. His subsequent speech about the Pandavas then reads as a sober warning to Duryodhana. He lists not only their strength, stature, and weapons but also the memory of Draupadi's humiliation and the dice game — precisely this memory will fuel their fighting. A special place is given to Arjuna together with Krishna: here the ratha is assessed not merely as a warrior but as an entire fighting reality, in which charioteer, weapons, horses, armor, astras, and inner resolve are joined into a single force.
