sañjaya uvāca tataḥ sarvāṇi sainyāni hataśiṣṭāni yāni vai | senāgoptṝn athādiśya punarvyūham akalpayat ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: Then, gathering whatever troops still remained after the slaughter, he appointed protectors and commanders for the army and once again arranged the forces into a fresh battle-formation. The verse underscores the grim persistence of war: even after heavy loss, leadership reorganizes what is left, prioritizing order and control amid devastation.
