Arjun vishaad yog (chapter : 1 - shloka 9 )

श्लोक ९

अन्ये च बहवः शूरा मदर्थे त्यक्तजीविताः ।
नानाशस्त्रप्रहरणाः सर्वे युद्धविशारदाः ।।

और भी मेरे लिये जीवन की आशा त्याग देने वाले बहुत - से शूरवीर अनेक प्रकार के शस्त्रास्त्रों से सुसज्जित और सब- के - सब युद्ध में चतुर हैं ।

Sanjaya continues :

" There are many other heroes who are prepared to lay down their lives for my sake. All of them are well equipped with different kinds of weapons, and all are experienced in military science. "

" As far as others are concerned - like Jayadratha, Krtavarma, Shailya, etc - all are determined to lay down their lives for Duryodhana's sake. In other words, it is already concluded that all of them would die in the Battle of Kurukshetra for joining the party of the sinful Duryodhana. Duryodhana was, of course, confident of his victory on account of the above - mentioned combined strength of his friends. "
