Having forsaken the sons of his own sister, the Pandavas, with the desire of making good his words, that son of Artayana, who never trembles in battle, who is the head of all the warriors and the first of those on your side, who is possessed of immense activity and who has promised before Ajatasatru that he would destroy the energy of the son of Suta in battle, who is Shakra's peer in prowess, that hero Shalya is still staying in the field desirous of fighting for your sake.
