te vadhyamānāḥ samare droṇaputreṇa pārthivāḥ, rājan, samarāṅgaṇe droṇaputrake dvārā māre jate hue samasta rājāoṃ ne usake bhay se bhāgakara sampūrṇa diśāoṃ kī śaraṇa lī

Translation

Sañjaya said: O King, as the earthly rulers were being cut down in battle by Droṇa’s son, they fled the field in fear of him and sought refuge in every direction. The scene underscores how terror and the collapse of courage can scatter even mighty kings when violence becomes overwhelming.
