Bhagavad Gita 1.5
धृष्टकेतुश्चेकितानः काशिराजश्च वीर्यवान्। पुरुजित्कुन्तिभोजश्च शैब्यश्च नरपुङ्गवः॥
dhṛṣṭaketuścekitānaḥ kāśirājaśca vīryavān purujitkuntibhojaśca śaibyaśca narapuṅgavaḥ
Translation
Drishtaketu, Chekitâna and the valiant King of Kâshi, Purujit and Kuntibhoja, and Shaivya, bull among men;
What it means
The roll of heroes continues: Drishtaketu, Chekitana, the king of Kashi, Purujit, Kuntibhoja, Shaivya. Each name carries a kingdom and a grievance. War is never abstract; it is a web of loyalties, and every name on the list is a life staked on Duryodhana's quarrel.

Something to reflect on
Whose names are on the list my quarrel has written - and did they choose to be?
