Bhagadattā’s Deployment Against Ghaṭotkaca; Elephant-Corps Escalation
बभूव सर्वसैन्यानां घोररूपो भयानक: । तथैव पाण्डवा हृष्टा: सिंहनादमथानदन्,वे ही युद्धमें भीष्मका सामना करते हुए उनपर अपने बाणोंका प्रहार कर रहे थे। भीष्म और भीमसेनमें युद्ध होते समय सम्पूर्ण सेनाओंमें भयंकर कोलाहल मच गया और पाण्डव हर्षमें भरकर जोर-जोरसे सिंहनाद करने लगे
babhūva sarvasainyānāṃ ghorarūpo bhayānakaḥ | tathaiva pāṇḍavā hṛṣṭāḥ siṃhanādam athānanadan |
Sañjaya said: A dreadful, fearsome tumult arose among all the armies. At the same time, the Pāṇḍavas, filled with exhilaration, roared aloud like lions.

Even amid fearsome chaos, steadfastness and collective courage sustain dharma-oriented action; the Pāṇḍavas’ lion-roar symbolizes resolve and morale in righteous struggle.
Sañjaya reports that a terrifying uproar spreads through all the forces, while the Pāṇḍavas, energized and confident, shout a lion-like battle-cry as the fighting intensifies.
