तरुणौ सुकुमारौ च राजपुत्रौ तरस्विनौ | युद्धानां च विशेषज्ञौ प्रणेतारी च सर्वश:,ये दोनों तरुण और सुकुमार राजपुत्र बड़े वेगशाली हैं, अनेक युद्धोंके विशेषज्ञ हैं और सब प्रकारसे सेनानायक होनेयोग्य हैं
taruṇau sukumārau ca rājaputrau tarasvinau | yuddhānāṃ ca viśeṣajñau praṇetārī ca sarvaśaḥ ||
毗湿摩说道：“这两位王子年少，外貌柔和，却充满劲力；精通诸般战阵之艺，且在各方面都堪为统军之将，足以率领大军。”

Educational Q&A
Competence and fitness for responsibility are judged by capability and training, not merely by youth or outward delicacy; true leadership in a dharmic war requires expertise and the ability to guide others effectively.
Bhishma is describing two young princes, emphasizing that although they are youthful and seemingly tender, they possess great vigor, are well-versed in warfare, and are suitable to act as army leaders.
