THE MAHABHARATA
 
द्रोणः-
व्यूहयिष्यामि तं व्यूहं यं पार्थो न तरिष्यति ।
तस्माद्युध्यस्व मा भैस्त्वं स्वधर्ममनुपालय ॥ '
 
Drona said to Jayadratha:
 
"I will make an array that Arjuna will
not cross ; therefore fight, and be not
afraid ; keep up your Dharma."
 
एवमाश्वासितो राजा भारद्वाजेन सैन्धवः ।
अपानुदद् भयं पार्थाद् युद्धाय च मनो दधे ॥
 
So consoled by Drona, king Jayadratha
cast off his fear of Arjuna and made up
his mind to fight.
 
तस्यां निशायां व्युष्टायां पारयिष्यन्महाव्रतम् ।
रथप्रवरमास्थाय नरो नारायणानुगः ।
सिन्धुराजं परीप्सन्चै द्रोणानीकमुपाद्रवत् ॥
 
After that night, at day-break, Arjuna,
bent on carrying out his great vow,
mounted his excellent chariot, and, along
with Krishna, rode against Drona's army,
wishing to capture Jayadratha.
