ते5पि वै विद्रुता राम दिशो दश भयात् तदा | दुर्योधने हते शल्ये विद्रुतेषु कृपादिषु

قال نارادا: «يا راما، إنهم هم أيضًا فرّوا حينئذٍ خوفًا، وتفرّقوا إلى الجهات العشر—حين قُتل دوريودhana، وحين سقط شاليا، وحين ولّى كِرِپا ومن معه هاربين.»
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
When unrighteous leadership collapses, fear and disintegration follow: the fall of key figures (Duryodhana and Śalya) triggers the rout of their supporters, illustrating the moral and practical consequences of adharma in war.
Nārada reports to Paraśurāma that after Duryodhana and Śalya were killed, the remaining Kaurava-aligned warriors—named by Kṛpa and others—panicked and fled in all directions.
