Dhrishtaketu, Chekitan and the valiant king of Kashi; Purujit, Kuntibhoj and Shaibya, the finest of men;
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
धृष्टकेतु, चेकितान और पराक्रमी काशिराज; पुरुजित, कुन्तिभोज और नरश्रेष्ठ शैब्य;
Commentary
The roll-call continues with allied kings. Kuntibhoj is the king who adopted Kunti, the Pandavas' mother, and Purujit is his relative — so these are family ties as much as alliances. Duryodhan keeps adding names, each with an admiring epithet, as if trying to measure a danger he cannot quite size up.
