परस्परविरोधे तु वयं पञ्चैव ते शतम् ॥'
 
THE MAHABHARATA
 
"When there is insult from others, we
are a hundred and five; when there is
mutual quarrel, we are only five and
they are hundred."
 
युधिष्ठिरक्चश्श्रुत्वा समनह्यन्त पाण्डवाः ॥
 
Hearing Yudhisthira's words, the Pandavas
got ready for fight.
 
ततस्सुतुमुलं युद्धं गन्धर्वाणां तरस्विनां ।
बभूव भीमवेगानां पाण्डवानां च [भारत
] ॥
 
Then, there was a very thick battle
between the powerful Gandharvas and the
Pandavas of terrible force.
 
ततोऽर्जुनश्चित्रसेनं प्रहसन्निदमब्रवीत् ।
 
' किं ते व्यवसितं वीर कौरवाणां विनिग्रहे ॥
 
Then Arjuna said this to Chitrasena,
laughing : "You warrior, what may be
your intention in capturing the Kauravas?"
