Shloka 9
द्रोणपर्व — द्विनवति-तमोऽध्यायः
Sātyaki Pressed by Kauravas; Duryodhana and Kṛtavarmā Engagements
भूर्दिशश्वान्तरिक्षं च शब्देनासीत् समावृतम् । स मुहूर्त प्रतिभयो दारुण: समपद्यत,हाथियोंके घंटोंकी ध्वनि, शंखनाद, धनुषकी टंकार और गजराजोंके चिग्घाड़नेके शब्दसे पृथ्वी, दिशाएँ तथा आकाश--ये सभी गूँज उठे थे। उस समय दुःशासन दो घड़ीके लिये अत्यन्त भयंकर एवं दारुण हो उठा
bhūr diśaś cāntarikṣaṃ ca śabdenāsīt samāvṛtam | sa muhūrta-pratibhayo dāruṇaḥ samapadyata |
Sañjaya said: The earth, the directions, and the mid-sky were all enveloped by a roaring din. For a brief while the scene turned terrifying—harsh and dreadful—swelling with the sounds of war: bells on elephants, conch-calls, the twang of bowstrings, and the trumpeting of great elephants. In that moment, Duhśāsana too became exceedingly fearsome and cruel for a short time.
