Dhṛtarāṣṭra–Sañjaya-saṃvādaḥ; madhyāhna-saṅgrāma-pravṛttiḥ
Dhritarashtra–Sanjaya dialogue and the midday battle escalation
तमजेय राक्षसेन्द्रं संख्ये मघवता अपि । शैनेय: प्राणदज्जित्वा योधानां तव पश्यताम्
tam ajeyaṁ rākṣasendraṁ saṅkhye maghavatā api | śaineyaḥ prāṇadad jitvā yodhānāṁ tava paśyatām ||
যাক মঘবান ইন্দ্ৰও যুদ্ধত জয় কৰিব নোৱাৰিলেহেঁতেন, সেই ৰাক্ষসৰাজ আলম্বুষক শৈনেয় (সাত্যকি) প্ৰাণ পণ কৰি, তোমাৰ যোদ্ধাসকলৰ চকুৰ সন্মুখতে পৰাস্ত কৰিলে।

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights kṣātra-dharma in its battlefield form: steadfast courage and skill must be joined with readiness to risk one’s life for one’s cause. It also shows how public victory and the lion-roar function ethically and socially as affirmation of valor and as morale for one’s allies.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Sātyaki (Śaineya) defeats the formidable Rākṣasa-king Alambuṣa—so mighty that even Indra is invoked as a benchmark of power—doing so in full view of the Kaurava fighters, and then gives a triumphant lion-like roar.
