Duryodhana said Amongst all this numerous host of kings, there is none who can be as good a protector as you, owing to the superiority of the order to which you belong, to the nobility of your birth, to your knowledge of the Shastras, your age, your intelligence, prowess, skillfulness, invincibility, perfect acquaintance with worldly matters, moral purity, self-control, asceticism, seniority and gratefulness, as also owing to your being endued with all desirable qualities. Like Indra protecting the celestials, do you protect ourselves, O foremost of the twice born ones, being led by yourself, we desire to obtain victory over our enemies.
