Adhyāya 110: Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Lament on Fate; Saṃjaya’s Reproof and the Princes’ Assault on Bhīma (द्रोणपर्व, अध्याय ११०)
तस्मिंस्तु निर्जिते राजन् राक्षसेन्द्रे महात्मना । अनादयन् सिंहनादै: पाण्डवा: सर्वतो दिशम्,राजन! महामना भीमसेनके द्वारा राक्षसराज अलम्बुषके पराजित हो जानेपर पाण्डव- सैनिकोंने सम्पूर्ण दिशाओंको अपने सिंहनादोंसे निनादित कर दिया
tasmiṁstu nirjite rājan rākṣasendre mahātmanā | anādayan siṁhanādaiḥ pāṇḍavāḥ sarvato diśam ||
Sañjaya sprach: O König, als jener Herr der Rākṣasas von dem großherzigen Helden überwunden war, ließen die Pāṇḍavas mit Löwengebrüll alle Himmelsrichtungen widerhallen.

Educational Q&A
Even within the harshness of battle, disciplined courage and collective morale matter: the righteous side sustains itself through unity and steadfastness, expressing confidence after overcoming a formidable threat.
After the rākṣasa-chief (Alambuṣa) is defeated by the great hero (understood as Bhīmasena in this context), the Pāṇḍava forces raise lion-like victory shouts that echo in all directions.
