Bhagavad Gita Chapter 1 -Arjuna Vishada Yoga - Sloka 8 & 9

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

Chapter 1 - Sloka 8

Bhavaan Bhishmascha karnascha Kripascha samitinjayah I

Aswatthama Vikarnascha Saumadittas thathaiva cha II

Your venerable self, Bhishma, Karna, Kripa, the  victorious in fight, Aswatthama, Vikarna and Saumadatti as well.

Duryodhana now feels that, in his excitement, he has transgressed the limit in censuring the preceptor, As if in atonement for it he places Drona first in the list of heroes on his side, relegating Bhishma, the Field Marshall himself, to the second place. Further he designates, Kripa, Drona's brother-in-law. as foerce in fight. The thoughtful prince now quickly resorts to flattery, the last infirmity of even great men, to square up the awkward situation created by himself.

Chapter 1 - Sloka 9

Anyai cha bahavah shura madh arthe tyaktha jivithah I

Nana shastranah sarve yuddha visharadhah II

And there are yet other heroes well trained in warfare who equipped with manifold weapons and missiles are ready to lay down their lives for my sake.
