tataḥ sañcukruśuḥ pārthā ye ca teṣāṃ padānugāḥ

Sañjaya said: Then the sons of Pṛthā (the Pāṇḍavas), with those who followed in their train, raised a mighty cry of triumph. Having subdued the enemy on the battlefield, Nakula—afflicter of foes, his wrath still blazing—addressed his charioteer: “O sūta, drive me toward the army of Droṇācārya.”
