sañjaya uvāca | dṛḍhaḥ suhasto virajāḥ pramāthī ugro 'nuyāyy api |
قال سنجيا: وكان فيهم أيضًا محاربون بأسماء دِرِڍها، سُهَسْتَ، فيراجا، برَماثي، أُغرا، وأنُيَايِي. وهكذا أخذ الراوي يَعُدّ أسماء المقاتلين واحدًا بعد واحد، مثبتًا ذكرهم في السرد.

Educational Q&A
The verse functions as a war-catalogue: it preserves personal identity through naming, while implicitly underscoring the ethical weight of battle—many lives and lineages are drawn into conflict, and remembrance through narration becomes a moral counterpoint to the anonymity of slaughter.
Sañjaya continues listing notable fighters present in the Drona Parva battle context, naming Dṛḍha, Suhasta, Virajā, Pramāthī, Ugra, and Anuyāyī (with the accompanying tradition also supplying additional names in the same list).
