वृद्धी च तौ महेष्वासौ सापेक्षौ च धनंजये । मानितौ च मया वीरौ राधेय वचनात् तव,वे दोनों महाधनुर्धर होते हुए भी बूढ़े थे और अर्जुनके प्रति उनके मनमें पक्षपात था। राधानन्दन! मैंने तुम्हारे कहनेसे ही उन दोनों वीरोंको सेनापति बनाकर सम्मानित किया था

Sañjaya said: “Those two great bowmen were already advanced in age, and they also showed partiality toward Dhanañjaya (Arjuna). O Rādheya, it was only at your urging that I appointed and honored those two heroes as commanders.”
