व्यायच्छन्ति च तत्रापि सर्व एवापराजिता: । यदि तावद्ू रणे पार्थो व्यतिक्रान्तो महारथ:
vyāyacchanti ca tatrāpi sarva evāparājitāḥ | yadi tāvad raṇe pārtho vyatikrānto mahārathaḥ ||
সঞ্জয় ক’লে—“তাতোও তেওঁলোক সকলোৱে—এতিয়াও অপৰাজিত—চাপ দি আগবাঢ়ি প্ৰচেষ্টা কৰি আছে। যদি সেই ৰণত পাৰ্থ (অৰ্জুন) সেই মহাৰথী সঁচাকৈয়ে ভেদ কৰি আগবাঢ়ি গৈ থাকে…,”
संजय उवाच
The verse highlights steadfast effort and resilience in the face of conflict: warriors remain ‘unconquered’ not merely by outcome but by continuing disciplined exertion, while a leader’s breakthrough (Arjuna’s) becomes a decisive ethical and strategic turning point in war.
Sañjaya reports that the fighters are still striving intensely, and he introduces a conditional development: if Arjuna, the great warrior, has managed to cross or break through the opposing battle-lines, it signals a significant shift in the unfolding combat.
