Droṇa’s Defensive Stand and Abhimanyu Commissioned to Breach the Cakravyūha (द्रोणानीक-प्रतिरोधः; सौभद्र-नियोजनम्)
ये च कृष्णे गुणा: स्फीता: पाण्डवेषु च ये गुणा: । अभिमन्यौ किलैकस्था दृश्यन्ते गुणसंचया:,भगवान् श्रीकृष्णमें जो उज्ज्वल गुण हैं तथा पाण्डवोंमें जो उज्ज्वल गुण विद्यमान हैं, वे समस्त गुणसमुदाय अभिमन्युमें निश्चय ही एकत्र हुए दिखायी देते थे
ye ca kṛṣṇe guṇāḥ sphītāḥ pāṇḍaveṣu ca ye guṇāḥ | abhimanyau kilaikāsthā dṛśyante guṇasañcayāḥ ||
Sañjaya said: “All the splendid virtues that shine in Kṛṣṇa, and all the splendid virtues found among the Pāṇḍavas—those very accumulations of excellence were seen, as it were, gathered together in one place in Abhimanyu.”
