ददृशे पाण्डुपुत्रस्य सैन्यमार्तस्वरं तदा । उस समय पाण्डुनन्दन युधिष्ठटिरकी सारी सेना (सिंहसे डरी हुई) गौओंके समुदायकी भाँति घबराहटमें पड़ गयी थी। रथके कूबर उलट-पलट हो गये थे और समस्त सैनिक आर्तनाद कर रहे थे

Transliteration

sañjaya uvāca | dadṛśe pāṇḍuputrasya sainyam ārta-svaraṃ tadā |

Translation

Sañjaya said: At that moment he beheld the army of the son of Pāṇḍu raising cries of distress. The Pāṇḍava host, shaken with fear like a herd of cattle, fell into confusion; chariot-yokes slipped out of true, and the soldiers wailed aloud.
