दुर्योधनः-
'नाहं राज्यं प्रदास्यामि पाण्डवेभ्यः पितामह ।
ग्राम सेनां च दासांश्च स्वल्पं द्रव्यमपि प्रभो ।
युद्धोपचारिकं यत्तु तत्सर्व संविधीयताम् ॥'
 
Duryodhana-

Grandfather, I will not give the Pandavas
the kingdom, a village, army, or servants ;
or even the smallest thing. Let all that
is necessary for war be done."

सेनामुख्यान्ध्यवस्थाप्य व्यूहितुं संप्रचक्रमे ॥

the army.
