अध्याय  1, श्लोक 7,

asmākaṃ tu viśiṣṭā ye
tānnibodha dvijottama |
nāyakā mama sainyasya
sañjñārthaṃ tānbravīmi te ||

tān nibodha dvijottama |
nāyakāḥ mama sainyasya
sañjñārtham tān bravīmi te ||)

Meaning :
O best among the dvija / twice-born! For your information, kind attention and consideration, I will now tell you the names of those distinguished generals of my army, who are ready for the battle on our side.

Note :
'dvija' means 'twice-born'. On one hand, this word is a synonym for birds that are born as eggs and then again as fledglings, while humans who though born as uninitiated are initiated afterwards and then 'become' dvija, an aspirant fit for learning veda and other scriptural knowledge after some vedik ritual ceremony.
