Shloka 37
क्षिप्रं संनद्धकवचौ सखडूगावात्तकार्मुकौ | मामास्थाय प्रतीक्षेतां रथवर्यो परंतपौ,“आप दोनों रथियोंमें श्रेष्ठ और शत्रुओंको संताप देनेवाले वीर हैं। शीघ्र ही कवच बाँधकर खड्ग और धनुष लेकर रथपर बैठ जाइये तथा मेरी प्रतीक्षा कीजिये”
kṣipraṃ saṃnaddha-kavacau sa-khaḍgau ātta-kārmukau | mām āsthāya pratīkṣetāṃ ratha-varyau paraṃtapau ||
Wika ni Sañjaya: “Kayong dalawa—pinakamahuhusay sa mga mandirigmang nakasakay sa karwahe at nagpapahirap sa kaaway—magmadaling magsuot ng baluti, humawak ng tabak at pana, sumakay sa karwahe, at maghintay sa akin.”

Sañjaya issues a direct instruction to two eminent chariot-warriors: arm themselves immediately (armor, sword, bow), mount the chariot, and remain ready while awaiting his arrival or further direction.
