Kashinath Trimbak Telang, 1882
and O king of the earth! spake these words to Hṛṣīkeśa: 'O undegraded one! station my chariot between the two armies while I observe those who stand here desirous to engage in battle and with whom in the labours of this struggle I must do battle. I will observe those who are assembled here and who are about to engage in battle, wishing to do service in battle to the evil-minded son of Dhṛtarāṣṭra.' Thus addressed by Guḍākeśa, O descendant of Bharata!
