Sañjaya said: “Having arranged everything in accordance with the prescriptions of the martial manuals, take the chariot and proceed with restraint and care. Place upon it the divine Kaumodakī mace, the spear, the discus, the bow, the arrows, and all other necessary equipment; and also make room at the rear for the banner bearing the emblem of Vainateya (Garuḍa), so that the warrior’s chariot may shine in the battlefield.”
