ततः संस्थाप्य समरे तान्यनीकानि सर्वशः । अभिमन्युप्रभूतयस्ते द्वादश महारथा:,महाराज! तत्पश्चात् अपनी सेनाओंको सब प्रकारसे समरभूमिमें स्थापित करके भीमसेनके पद-चिह्लोंपर चलनेवाले उन अभिमन्यु आदि बारह महारथियोंने, जिन्हें धर्मराज युधिष्ठिरने भेजा था, आपके महाबली पुत्रोंपर धावा किया
tataḥ saṃsthāpya samare tāny anīkāni sarvaśaḥ | abhimanyuprabhūtayas te dvādaśa mahārathāḥ, mahārāja! tatpaścāt apnī senāoṃko sab prakār se samarabhūmiṃ sthāpit karke bhīmasenake pada-cihnoṃ par calanevāle un abhimanyu ādi bārah mahārathiyoṃ ne, jinheṃ dharmarāja yudhiṣṭhir ne bhejā thā, āpke mahābalī putroṃ par dhāvā kiyā |
Sanjaya said: Then, having arrayed those divisions on every side in the field of battle, the twelve great chariot-warriors—led by Abhimanyu—who followed in the track of Bhimasena and had been dispatched by Dharmaraja Yudhishthira, thereafter charged upon your mighty sons.
