Bhīṣma’s Appraisal of Kaurava Champions (भीष्मकृतः रथिनां गुणनिरूपणम्)
सेनाकर्मण्यभिज्ञो5स्मि व्यूहेषु विविधेषु च । कर्म कारयितुं चैव भृतानप्यभृतांस्तथा,“मुझे सेनासम्बन्धी प्रत्येक कर्मका ज्ञान है। मैं नाना प्रकारके व्यूहोंके निर्माणमें भी कुशल हूँ। तुम्हारी सेनामें जो वेतनभोगी अथवा वेतन न लेनेवाले मित्रसेनाके सैनिक हैं, उन सबसे यथायोग्य काम करा लेनेकी भी कला मुझे ज्ञात है
senākarmāṇy abhijño 'smi vyūheṣu vividheṣu ca | karma kārayituṃ caiva bhṛtān apy abhṛtāṃs tathā ||
ସେନାସମ୍ବନ୍ଧୀୟ ପ୍ରତ୍ୟେକ କାର୍ଯ୍ୟରେ ମୁଁ ପାରଙ୍ଗତ, ଏବଂ ବିଭିନ୍ନ ପ୍ରକାର ବ୍ୟୂହ ରଚନାରେ ମଧ୍ୟ କୁଶଳ। ବେତନଭୋଗୀ ସେନା ହେଉ କି ବେତନ ନ ନେଇଥିବା ମିତ୍ର-ସହାୟ—ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କୁ ଯଥାଯୋଗ୍ୟ କାମ କରାଇବା ମୋତେ ଜଣା।
