भरतश्रेष्ठ)] वह शब्द सम्पूर्ण दसों दिशाओंमें व्याप्त होकर वहीं कौरव-पाण्डव सेनाओंमें प्रतिध्वनित होता रहा ।। तावका रथिनस्तत्र दृष्टवा कृष्णधनंजयौ । सम्भ्रमं परमं प्राप्तास्त्वरमाणा महारथा:
bharataśreṣṭha, sa śabdaḥ samasta-daśa-diśaḥ vyāptvā tatraiva kaurava-pāṇḍava-senāsu pratidhvanita eva abhavat. tāvakā rathinaḥ tatra dṛṣṭvā kṛṣṇa-dhanañjayau, sambhramaṁ paramaṁ prāptāḥ, tvaramāṇā mahārathāḥ.
يا خيرَ آلِ بهاراتا، لقد انتشر ذلك الصوت في الجهات العشر كلّها، وظلّ يتردّد صداه في صفوف جيشي الكورَڤا والباندَڤا. فلمّا رأى فرسانُ العربات من الكورَڤا—أولئك الأبطال العظام—كريشنا ودهانَنْجَيا (أرجونا) هناك، استولى عليهم فزعٌ بالغ، فاندفعوا مسرعين إلى الأمام في اضطراب.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how the moral and strategic weight of righteous leadership can affect an entire battlefield: the mere presence of Kṛṣṇa with Arjuna unsettles opponents, showing that courage and clarity on one side can generate fear and confusion on the other.
A powerful sound spreads and reverberates across the battlefield. In that charged moment, Kaurava chariot-warriors notice Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna and, struck by intense alarm, rush forward in agitation—signaling a sudden escalation and reaction to their appearance.
