Transliteration

tato 'bhavan mahāśabdo rājan yauḍhiṣṭhire bale | hato rājeti yodhānāṃ samīpasth(e) yatavrate ||

Translation

Sañjaya said: Then, O King, a great uproar arose in Yudhiṣṭhira’s army. The warriors nearby cried out, “The king has been slain!”—for the self-restrained, vow-observing Droṇācārya had come very close to Yudhiṣṭhira, and fear and confusion swept through the ranks.
