"And that mighty one who stands on his chariot beneath a blue, five-starred banner, hand guarded in leather, bow in hand; on whose chariot stands the finest banner, adorned with stars and sun; over whose head stands this white, spotless parasol; who stands at the head of a great line of chariots with various banners and flags, like the sun before a cloud; whose golden armor is seen, resembling the moon and sun, and golden helmet, as though frightening my mind -- this is Shantanava Bhishma, grandfather of us all. He is bound by royal glory and follows the will of Duryodhana. He must be approached later; let him not become an obstacle for me. When I fight with him, hold my horses carefully." After this, Vairati, undisturbed, drove Savyasachin to where Kripa the king stood, ready to fight with Dhananjaya.
