Shloka 10
व्यूहानां च समारम्भान् दैवगान्धर्वमानुषान् | तैरहं मोहयिष्यामि पाण्डवान् व्येतु ते ज्वर:,“मुझे देवता, गन्धर्व और मनुष्य--तीनोंकी ही व्यूहरचनाका ज्ञान है। उनके द्वारा मैं पाण्डवोंको मोहित कर दूँगा। अतः तुम्हारी मानसिक चिन्ता दूर हो जानी चाहिये
vyūhānāṁ ca samārambhān daivagāndharvamānuṣān | tair ahaṁ mohayīṣyāmi pāṇḍavān vyetu te jvaraḥ ||
Sañjaya sprach: „Ich kenne Beginn und Entfaltung der Schlachtordnungen—der göttlichen, der gandharvischen und der menschlichen. Mit ihnen werde ich die Pāṇḍavas verwirren; darum soll das fiebrige Bangen deines Herzens weichen.“

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how knowledge and technique—especially in warfare—can be used to influence minds. Ethically, it points to the tension between skillful strategy and the intention to delude, reminding readers that competence is morally colored by its purpose.
Sañjaya declares his mastery of various kinds of battle-array deployments (divine, Gandharva, and human) and promises to use them to confound the Pāṇḍavas, urging that the listener’s anxious ‘fever’ should subside.
