शल्यपरिघातः (Śalya Under Encirclement) — Mahābhārata, Śalya-parva, Adhyāya 12
प्रययु: सिंहनादेन दुर्योधनपुरोगमान् । उस कौरवदलको धावा करते देख पाण्डव-वीर सिंहके समान गर्जना करके दुर्योधन आदिकी ओर बढ़ चले
prayayuḥ siṃhanādena duryodhanapurogāmān |
সঞ্জয় বললেন—কৌরবসেনাকে ধেয়ে আসতে দেখে পাণ্ডব বীরেরা সিংহনাদের মতো গর্জন করে দুর্যোধন প্রমুখের দিকে অগ্রসর হলেন।

The verse highlights kṣatriya-dharma in its narrative form: when confronted by an advancing enemy, the warriors respond with steadiness and courage, meeting force with disciplined resolve rather than fear—an ethical ideal of duty-bound bravery in battle.
Sañjaya describes the battlefield moment when the Pāṇḍava fighters, roaring like lions, move forward toward Duryodhana and the Kaurava leaders at the front, as both sides close in for combat.
