Bhagvad gita
[04:18.33] Dhåtaräñöra said: O Saïjaya, after assembling in the place of pilgrimage at Kurukñetra, what did my sons and the sons of Päëòu do, being desirous to fight?
[04:31.87] Saïjaya said: O King, after looking over the army gathered by the sons of Päëòu, King Duryodhana went to his teacher and began to speak the following words:
[04:41.43] Here in this army there are many heroic bowmen equal in fighting to Bhéma and Arjuna; there are also great fighters like Yuyudhäna, Viräöa and Drupada.
[05:04.29] There are also great, heroic, powerful fighters like Dhåñöaketu, Cekitäna, Käçiräja, Purujit, Kuntibhoja and Çaibya.
[05:12.51] There are the mighty Yudhämanyu, the very powerful Uttamaujä, the son of Subhadrä and the sons of Draupadé. All these warriors are great chariot fighters.
[05:21.55] O best of the brähmaëas, for your information, let me tell you about the captains who are especially qualified to lead my military force.
[05:31.38] There are personalities like yourself, Bhéñma, Karëa, Kåpa, Açvatthämä, Vikarëa and the son of Somadatta called Bhuriçravä, who are always victorious in battle.
[05:42.80] There are many other heroes who are prepared to lay down their lives for my sake. All of them are well equipped with different kinds of weapons, and all are experienced in military science.
[05:55.02] Our strength is immeasurable, and we are perfectly protected by Grandfather Bhéñma, whereas the strength of the Päëòavas, carefully protected by Bhéma, is limited.
[06:04.31] Now all of you must give full support to Grandfather Bhéñma, standing at your respective strategic points in the phalanx of the army.
[06:13.07] Then Bhéñma, the great valiant grandsire of the Kuru dynasty, the grandfather of the fighters, blew his conchshell very loudly like the sound of a lion, giving Duryodhana joy.
[06:25.82] After that, the conchshells, bugles, trumpets, drums and horns were all suddenly sounded, and the combined sound was tumultuous.
[06:35.12] On the other side, both Lord Kåñëa and Arjuna, stationed on a great chariot drawn by white horses, sounded their transcendental conchshells.
[06:45.48] Then, Lord Kåñëa blew His conchshell, called Päïcajanya; Arjuna blew his, the Devadatta; and Bhéma, the voracious eater and performer of Herculean tasks, blew his terrific conchshell called Pauëòram.
