अस्माकं तु विशिष्टा ये तान्निबोध द्विजोत्तम ।नायका मम सैन्यस्य संज्ञार्थं तान्ब्रवीमि ते ॥
asmākaṃ tu viśiṣṭā ye tānnibodha dvijottama |nāyakā mama sainyasya saṃjñārthaṃ tānbravīmi te ||
Now also take note, best of the twice-born, of those who stand out on our side, the leaders of my army. I will name them for you, so that you know them.
Explanation
Sanjaya is reporting the words of Duryodhana, who is speaking to his teacher Drona. Having listed the Pandava warriors, he now turns to the leaders on his own side. "Twice-born" (dvija) is a respectful title for a learned brahmin like Drona. Some readers see Duryodhana's tone as confident, and others see it as the anxious reassurance of a king who feels uneasy.
