5.56.44

jānāti hi sadā bhīṣmaḥ pāṇḍavānāṃ yaśasvinām |
balavattāṃ saputrāṇāṃ dharmajñānāṃ mahātmanām || 44 ||

"Dhritarashtra said, 'O Sanjaya, this my son speaketh like a mad man, for he is incapable of vanquishing in battle Yudhishthira the just. This Bhishma truly knoweth the might of the famous, powerful, virtuous, and high-souled Pandavas and their sons, for he doth not wish a battle with those illustrious ones. But tell me again O Sanjaya, of their movements. Tell me, who are inciting those illustrious and mighty bowmen endued with great activity, like priests enkindling (Homa) fires with libations of clarified butter?'
