Arjuna said: "O king, I shall array for you an array extremely hard to conquer, named Achala and known as Vajra, established by the wielder of the vajra himself. Bhima, the best of strikers, unbearable to foes in battle like a storm, will fight before us. Crushing the strength of the enemy's armies, this best of men, expert in the methods of war, will go as our foremost leader. Seeing him, all the kings led by Duryodhana will retreat in confusion, like small beasts before a lion. We shall all rely upon Bhima, the best of fighters, as upon a fearless wall, just as the immortals rely upon Vajrapani. There is no man in the world who could bear the sight of the enraged Vrikodara, that bull among men, terrible in his deeds. Bearing his firm mace, as if made of the very essence of the vajra, Bhimasena, moving with tremendous speed, could dry up even the ocean. The Kekayas, Dhrishtaketu, and valiant Chekitana stand here with their attendants as witnesses, O lord of men. Such are the heirs of Dhritarashtra" — thus spoke Bibhatsu. When the son of Pritha had spoken so, all the armies honored him in battle with approving words.

Arjuna replies not merely with a plan of formation but by revealing the spiritual and psychological center of that formation: Bhima must go in front. The Vajra-vyuha rests on a strength that does not merely crush the enemy but instills confidence in one's own side. Here the difference between numerical superiority and inner strength becomes visible.
