इत्यासीत् तुमुल: शब्द: शोणाश्चस्य रथं प्रति । लाल घोड़ोंवाले द्रोणाचार्यके रथके समीप मार डालो, निर्भय होकर प्रहार करो, बाणोंसे बींध डालो, टुकड़े-टुकड़े कर दो” इत्यादि भयंकर शब्द सुनायी पड़ता था

A tumultuous, terrifying roar was heard: cries urging the warriors to close in on his chariot—"Strike down the charioteer with the red horses near Droa01c01rya's car; attack without fear; pierce him with arrows; cut him to pieces!" Such brutal commands filled the battlefield, revealing how war inflames speech and intention, pushing men toward violence that tests the boundaries of dharma.

The verse highlights how the frenzy of battle turns speech into incitement, normalizing extreme violence. In the Mah01bh01rata's ethical frame, such moments expose the strain placed on dharma in war: even when fighting is sanctioned, cruelty and dehumanizing commands signal moral danger.
On the battlefield in Droa Parva, a loud uproar rises as warriors shout orders to rush toward a chariot associated with Droa01c01rya and strike fiercely. The line functions as a soundscape of war, conveying panic, aggression, and coordinated assault.
