yasyāḥ netārau keśavaḥ ca arjunaḥ ca,
tām eva bṛhatīm duṣpradhṛṣyām tu manye.
20. O King (narendra), your army is formidable and boasts diverse formations, but this is not true of the Pandavas' army. However, that (the Pandava army) I consider to be truly vast and unconquerable, because its two leaders are Krishna (keśava) and Arjuna.
