Bhagavad Gita Chapter 1 -Arjuna Vishada Yoga - Sloka 4 - 6

The entire content of this mail is from Swami Chidbahavananda's translation of  The Bhagavad Gita, published by Ramakrishna Mission.

Chapter 1 - Sloka 4


Athra shoora maheshvasa bhimarjuna sama yudhi I
yuyudhano viratascha drupadascha maharatha II

Here are the mighty archers, peers in warfare to heroic Bhima and Arjuna; Yuyudhana, Virata and Drupada the chariot warrior.


Chapter 1 - Sloka 5

Drishtaketu chekitanah kasirajas cha viryavan I
purujit kuntibhojas cha saibyas ca narapungavah II

Drishtaketu, Chekitana and the valiant King of Kasi, Purujit, Kuntibhoja and Saibya, the best among men;


Chapter 1 - Sloka 6

Yudhamanyus cha vikranta uttamaujas cha viryavan I
Saubhadro draupadeyas cha sarva eva maharathah II


The courageous Yudhamanyu, the brave Uttamauja, Saubhadra and the sons of Draupadi -  all being great chariot warriors. 

My comments:
Slokas 4, 5 & 6 are names of warriors on the Pandava side - these are being listed out by Duryodhana for the benefit of his acharya Drona. Hence Ive taken the liberty to put them all together in one mail.
