Brave warriors of Mahabharata war

In the previous quiz, we saw that Duryodhana told Dronacharya to remain impartial and fight the war properly. In the shloka of Gita, Duryodhana called Dronacharya “Dwijottama”. A Brahmin is called Dwija i.e. twice born (first birth – from mother’s womb, second – Upanayana).

Dwijottama means – the best of the Brahmins.

Duryodhana told Dronacharya that the warriors of both sides are –

1. Shoora: – powerful;
2. Mahesvaasa: – great archers;
3. Maharatha: – Maharathis, who can face ten thousand ordinary warriors alone in the war.
4. “Nanaashastrapraharana: Sarve Yudhvisharada:” All the warriors are equipped with various types of weapons and are proficient in war skills.

Duryodhana said that although kauravas had unlimited strength due to Bhishma Pitamah, he still requested all the warriors of the Kaurava army to remain firm on their front and help Bhishma Pitamah fully.

In the shloka of Gita, Bhishma Pitamah has been called - “Kuruvriddha” and “Pratapavaan”.

Kuruvriddhaha - Grand old man of the Kuru dynasty
Pratapavaan - Most glorious great warrior.
