1.6
युधामन्युश्च विक्रान्त उत्तमौजाश्च वीर्यवान् ।
सौभद्रो द्रौपदेयाश्च सर्व एव महारथाः ॥
yudhāmanyuś ca vikrānta uttamaujāś ca vīryavān
saubhadro draupadeyāś ca sarva eva mahārathāḥ
The Pāṇḍava (पाण्डव) list ends.
The verse
And the daring Yudhāmanyu (युधामन्यु), and the valorous Uttamaujas, the son of Subhadrā (सुभद्रा), and the sons of Draupadī (द्रौपदी) — all of them great chariot-warriors.
नेपालीमा
साहसी युधामन्यु, पराक्रमी उत्तमौजस्, सुभद्राका छोरा, र द्रौपदीका छोराहरू, ती सबै ठूला रथी हुन्।
Where it sits
Duryodhana has now named the enemy down to the sons. Abhimanyu and the Draupadeyas are the generation that would inherit whatever this war decides. He calls them mahārathāḥ (महारथाः) and moves on. He is not grieving. He is counting.
Split: युधामन्युः + च + विक्रान्तः + उत्तमौजाः + च + वीर्यवान् + सौभद्रः + द्रौपदेयाः + च + सर्वे + एव + महारथाः
yudhāmanyuḥ + ca + vikrāntaḥ + uttamaujāḥ + ca + vīryavān + saubhadraḥ + draupadeyāḥ + ca + sarve + eva + mahārathāḥ
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| देवनागरी | Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|---|
| युधामन्युः | yudhāmanyuḥ | nominative | Yudhāmanyu (युधामन्यु), a warrior in this army. |
| विक्रान्तः | vikrāntaḥ | nominative | the daring one. A description, used as a name would be used. |
| उत्तमौजाः | uttamaujāḥ | nominative of uttamaujas (उत्तमौजस्) | Uttamaujas. The stem ends in s (स्), so the nominative is --āḥ (आः). |
| वीर्यवान् | vīryavān | nominative | the valorous one. As in 1.5. |
| सौभद्रः | saubhadraḥ | nominative | the son of Subhadrā (सुभद्रा). Abhimanyu, Arjuna's son. |
| द्रौपदेयाः | draupadeyāḥ | nominative plural | the sons of Draupadī (द्रौपदी). Five of them. |
| सर्वे | sarve | nominative plural of sarva (सर्व) | all. |
| एव | eva | indeclinable | indeed. With sarve (सर्वे), "every one of them." |
| महारथाः | mahārathāḥ | nominative plural | great chariot-warriors. |
The phrases
युधामन्युश् च … उत्तमौजाश् च वीर्यवान् yudhāmanyuś ca … uttamaujāś ca vīryavān finishes the single names.
saubhadro draupadeyāś ca (सौभद्रो द्रौपदेयाश् च) is the younger generation. One son of Arjuna, and the sons of Draupadī (द्रौपदी). saubhadraḥ (सौभद्रः) has become saubhadro (सौभद्रो) before the voiced d (द्). draupadeyāḥ ca (द्रौपदेयाः च) has become draupadeyāś ca (द्रौपदेयाश् च).
sarve eva mahārathāḥ (सर्वे एव महारथाः) closes the whole list from 1.4. All of them, great chariot-warriors. sarve (सर्वे) is plural to match the men. eva (एव) will not let "all" be loose.
Sanskrit in this line
sarve eva (सर्वे एव) is a small phrase worth keeping. sarva (सर्व) alone can be "the whole" or "everyone" in a slack sense. eva (एव) pins it: these ones, all of them, the ones just named. The verb that governs the list is still paśya (पश्य) in 1.3. Epic verse is comfortable leaving a verb in force across several double dandas. Before you decide a verse has no verb, look back.
Say it back
End the Pāṇḍava (पाण्डव) list from memory: the son of Subhadrā (सुभद्रा), the sons of Draupadī (द्रौपदी), and the rank Duryodhana gives them.
