VerseBhagavad Gita
Bhagavad Gita 1.5
More Pandava allies are named: Dhrishtaketu, Chekitana, the king of Kashi, Purujit, Kuntibhoja and Shaibya.
धृष्टकेतुश्चेकितानः काशिराजश्च वीर्यवान्।
पुरुजित्कुन्तिभोजश्च शैब्यश्च नरपुङ्गवः॥
dhṛṣṭaketuś cekitānaḥ kāśirājaś ca vīryavān
purujit kuntibhojaś ca śaibyaś ca nara-puṅgavaḥ
Translation
Dhrishtaketu, Chekitana, and the valiant king of Kashi; Purujit, Kuntibhoja, and Shaibya, the finest of men.
Hindi
धृष्टकेतु, चेकितान और पराक्रमी काशिराज; पुरुजित्, कुन्तिभोज और मनुष्यों में श्रेष्ठ शैब्य।
Commentary
The roll call goes on. Kuntibhoja was the foster father of Kunti, so he is the Pandavas' own grandfather by adoption, yet he fights beside them. Duryodhana is counting every name to take the measure of the opposing army. The list resumes in 1.6.
