' परैः परिभवे प्राप्ते वयं पञ्चोत्तरं शतम् ।

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?"
