Shloka 7
Karma-Yoga, Yajña-Cakra, and the Governance of Desire (कर्मयोग–यज्ञचक्र–कामनिग्रह)
अस्माकं तु विशिष्टा ये तान् निबोध द्विजोत्तम | नायका मम सैन्यस्य संज्ञार्थ तान् ब्रवीमि ते
asmākaṁ tu viśiṣṭā ye tān nibodha dvijottama | nāyakā mama sainyasya saṁjñārthaṁ tān bravīmi te ||
サンジャヤは言った。「だが今、ああ二度生まれし者の中の最上よ、我らの側で抜きん出た者たちをも知ってください。あなたが明確に見分けられるよう、我が軍の将帥と主要な指揮官たちの名を告げましょう。」

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical and practical need for clear discernment in conflict: knowing who the principal leaders are is essential for understanding responsibility, strategy, and the unfolding consequences of war.
Sanjaya transitions from describing one side’s notable warriors to identifying the eminent leaders on ‘our’ side, announcing that he will list the commanders of his army for the listener’s clear recognition.
