1.6 Every one a great warrior Sanjaya speaks

युधामन्युश्च विक्रान्त उत्तमौजाश्च वीर्यवान्
सौभद्रो द्रौपदेयाश्च सर्व एव महारथाः

saubhadro draupadeyāśhcha sarva eva mahā-rathāḥ

the son of Subhadra, and the sons of Draupadi — every one of them a great chariot-warrior.

Explanation

And it ends on the youngest.

The son of Subhadra — Abhimanyu, Arjuna's own son — and the sons of Draupadi.

Duryodhana lists them as great chariot-warriors. Every one of them will die in this war, and most of them are children of the men listening. The catalogue is already an obituary.
