That son of Kunti is now allied with Vasudeva of great intelligence. I think that he is competent to destroy the three worlds including the very gods. All remedial measures have been adopted. Cars and steeds have been arranged. Drona will form an array half of which will be a Sakata and half a lotus. In the middle of the leaves of that lotus will be a needle-mouthed array.
The Bengal texts omit it. Ekayangatas is lit. "intently." Literally, "hence his thoughts were so." Suchimukha is literally "needle-mouthed." It is a wedge-like column with the thin or pointed end turned towards the side of the enemy. The Bombay reading, which I adopt, is visravat in the beginning of the 2nd line.
In encounters of the few with the many, the array to be formed should be the needle-mouthed one. Our troops compared with the enemy's are few.
