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 परीप्सन्चैवै 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.
