"O Radheya, so long as you have not yet met in battle with Partha, who wields arrows, sword and bow, going forth on his chariot together with Vasudeva, the Unfallen One, you think of yourself in this way. Therefore you may speak thus, and even more, as much as you wish."

This chapter returns the conversation to a military assessment of strength before the battle. Duryodhana wants to measure the Pandava army in number of days, but the answers of the senior warriors reveal differing measures of realism and self-confidence. Bhishma speaks as a commander bound by the dharma of battle: an honest fight against an honest foe, a deceitful one against a deceiver. Drona admits his age but not any loss of strength. Karna, meanwhile, promises the impossible -- before he has met Arjuna and Krishna -- and Bhishma's laughter exposes the gap between boasting and true battle knowledge.
