प्रसंख्याय च सौक्ष्म्येण गुणदोषान् विचक्षणः। यथावन्मतितत्त्वेन जयकामः सुतान् प्रति॥ बलाबलं विनिश्चित्य याथातथ्येन बुद्धिमान्। शक्ति संख्यातुमारेभे तदा वै मनुजाधिपः॥

दुर्योधनेयं चिन्ता मे शश्वन्न व्युपशाम्यति। सत्यं ह्येतदहं मन्ये प्रत्यक्षं नानुमानतः॥

आत्मजेषु पुरं स्नेहं सर्वभूतानि कुर्वते। प्रियाणि चैषां कुर्वन्ति यथाशक्ति हितानि च॥

दुरासदं यस्य दिव्यं गाण्डीवं धनुरुत्तमम्। वारुणौ चाक्षयौ दिव्यौ शरपूर्णी महेषुधी॥ वानस्श्च ध्वजो दिव्यो निःसङ्गो धूमवद्गतिः। रथश्च चतुरन्तायां यस्य नास्ति समः क्षितौ।॥ महामेघनिभश्चापि निर्घोषः श्रूयते जनैः। महाशनिसमः शब्दः शात्रवाणां भयंकरः॥ यं चातिमानुषं वीर्ये कृत्स्नो लोको व्यवस्यति। देवानामपि जेतारं यं विदुः पार्थिवा रणे॥ शतानि पञ्च चैवेषून् यो गृह्णन् नैव दृश्यते। निमेषान्तरमात्रेण मुञ्चन् दूरं च पातयन्॥ यमाह भीष्मो द्रोणश्च कृपो द्रौणिस्तथैव च। मद्रराजस्तथा शल्यो मध्यस्था ये च मानवाः॥ युद्धायावस्थितं पार्थं पार्थिवैरतिमानुषैः। अशक्यं नरशार्दूलं पराजेतुमरिंदमम्॥ क्षिपत्येकेन वेगेन पञ्च बाणशतानि यः। सदृशं बाहुवीर्येण कार्तवीर्यस्य पाण्डवम्॥ तमर्जुनं महेष्वासं महेन्द्रोपेन्द्रविक्रमम्। निघ्नन्तमिव पश्यामि विमर्देऽस्मिन् महाहवे॥
durāsadaṃ yasya divyaṃ gāṇḍīvaṃ dhanuruttamam| vāruṇau cākṣayau divyau śarapūrṇī maheṣudhī|| vānasśca dhvajo divyo niḥsaṅgo dhūmavadgatiḥ| rathaśca caturantāyāṃ yasya nāsti samaḥ kṣitau||| mahāmeghanibhaścāpi nirghoṣaḥ śrūyate janaiḥ| mahāśanisamaḥ śabdaḥ śātravāṇāṃ bhayaṃkaraḥ|| yaṃ cātimānuṣaṃ vīrye kṛtsno loko vyavasyati| devānāmapi jetāraṃ yaṃ viduḥ pārthivā raṇe|| śatāni pañca caiveṣūn yo gṛhṇan naiva dṛśyate| nimeṣāntaramātreṇa muñcan dūraṃ ca pātayan|| yamāha bhīṣmo droṇaśca kṛpo drauṇistathaiva ca| madrarājastathā śalyo madhyasthā ye ca mānavāḥ|| yuddhāyāvasthitaṃ pārthaṃ pārthivairatimānuṣaiḥ| aśakyaṃ naraśārdūlaṃ parājetumariṃdamam|| kṣipatyekena vegena pañca bāṇaśatāni yaḥ| sadṛśaṃ bāhuvīryeṇa kārtavīryasya pāṇḍavam|| tamarjunaṃ maheṣvāsaṃ mahendropendravikramam| nighnantamiva paśyāmi vimarde'smin mahāhave||
He who has the excellent and invincible Gandiva bow and two inexhaustible arrow holders of heavenly make and always filled with shafts, he who has the figure of a monkey on his heavenly banner which can proceed as smoothly as a column of smoke and whose car has no equal in the earth, bounded by the four seas and the sound of which is heard by men, similar to the roaring of a large mass of clouds and which, like death itself, frightens the enemy. He who is known in this world as of superhuman strength and he who is known by the rulers of the earth as the victor over the gods even in battle, he, who unnoticed by others takes up five hundred arrows and but in a moment shoots them and makes them fall at a distance, he, who is said by Bhishma, Drona, Kripa and the son of Drona and by Shalya the king of Madras and by all disinterested persons, to be invisible by superhuman rulers of the earth when standing on the field of battle, as a tiger arnong car-warriors and a subduer of enemies, he at one effort shoots five hundred arrows and in strength of arms is equal to Kartavirya. In this great battle do I see that great bowmen Arjuna equal in might to Indra united with Upendra working havoc.

इत्येवं चिन्तयत् कृत्स्नमहोरात्राणि भारत। अनिद्रो निःसुखश्चास्मि कुरूणां शमचिन्तया॥
ityevaṃ cintayat kṛtsnamahorātrāṇi bhārata| anidro niḥsukhaścāsmi kurūṇāṃ śamacintayā||
Thinking this day and night, O Bharata, am I sleepless and unhappy through anxiety for the good of the Kurus.

MBh 3 132.13
क्षयोदयोऽयं सुमहान् कुरूणां प्रत्युपस्थितः। अस्त चेत् कलहस्यान्तः शमादन्यो न विद्यते॥ शमो मे रोचते नित्यं पार्थस्तात न विग्रहः। कुरुभ्यो हि सदा मन्ये पाण्डवान् शक्तिमत्तरान्॥
kṣayodayo'yaṃ sumahān kurūṇāṃ pratyupasthitaḥ| asta cet kalahasyāntaḥ śamādanyo na vidyate|| śamo me rocate nityaṃ pārthastāta na vigrahaḥ| kurubhyo hi sadā manye pāṇḍavān śaktimattarān||
A great cause of the destruction of the Kurus is now come. If there is no other means of an end to this quarrel, than peace, peace seems desirable to me and not war with the sons of Pritha. I have ever been of opinion that the Pandavas are possessed of greater strength than the Kurus.
