3.252.10

jayadratha uvāca |
jānāmi kṛṣṇe viditaṃ mamaitadyathāvidhāste naradevaputrāḥ |
na tvevametena vibhīṣaṇena śakyā vayaṃ trāsayituṃ tvayādya || 10 ||

Jayadratha replied, 'I know all this, O Krishna, and I am well aware of the prowess of those princes. But thou canst not frighten us now with these threats. We, too, O Krishna, belong by birth to the seventeen high clans, and are endowed with the six royal qualities. We, therefore, look down upon the Pandavas as inferior men! Therefore, do thou, O daughter of Drupada, ride this elephant or this chariot quickly, for thou canst not baffle us with thy words alone; or, speaking less boastfully, seek thou the mercy of the king of the Sauviras!'
