नीतिमन्तो महेष्वासाः सर्वे युद्धविशारदाः। सैन्धवस्य विधायैवं रक्षां युयुधिरे ततः॥
nītimanto maheṣvāsāḥ sarve yuddhaviśāradāḥ| saindhavasya vidhāyaivaṃ rakṣāṃ yuyudhire tataḥ||
Thus many warriors accomplished in the art of fighting and conversant with the rules of policy, having arranged for the safety of the Sindhu king, went on fighting with the Pandavas.
