धृष्टदय्युम्न॑ ततो विद्ध्वा ननाद सुमहाबल:
dhṛṣṭadyumnam tato viddhvā nanāda sumahābalaḥ
قال سانجيا: ثم لما أصاب دْهْرِشْتَديومنَ، أطلق ذلك المحارب عظيم القوة زئيرًا مدوّيًا—صيحة ابتهاج يقصد بها إعلان البأس، وشحذ همم الحلفاء، وإرهاب الأعداء وسط وطأة الصراع الأخلاقي في ساحة القتال.

The verse highlights the kṣatriya battlefield ethos: after a successful strike, a warrior’s roar functions as a declaration of courage and dominance, shaping morale and fear. Ethically, it reflects how martial duty in the epic often intertwines physical action with psychological assertion.
Sañjaya reports that Dhr̥ṣṭadyumna has been hit by a very powerful warrior, who then roars loudly—signaling triumph and intensifying the combat atmosphere.
