Shloka 9
भरतनन्दन! उन दोनों रथोंको एक-दूसरेसे सटा देख सब राजा सिंहनाद करने और प्रचुर साधुवाद देने लगे ।। दृष्टवा च द्वैरथं ताभ्यां तत्र योधा: सहस्रश: । चक्रुर्बाहस्वनांश्वैव तथा चैलावधूननम्,उन दोनोंका द्वैरथ युद्ध प्रस्तुत देख वहाँ खड़े हुए सहस्रों योद्धा अपनी भुजाओंपर ताल ठोकने और कपड़े हिलाने लगे
bharatanandana! tau rathau parasparaṃ saṃlagnaṃ dṛṣṭvā sarve rājānaḥ siṃhanādaṃ cakruḥ pracuraṃ ca sādhuvādaṃ vyadadhuḥ || dṛṣṭvā ca dvairathaṃ tābhyāṃ tatra yodhāḥ sahasraśaḥ | cakrur bāhusvanāṃś caiva tathā cailāvadhūnanam ||
Sañjaya said: “O scion of Bharata, seeing those two chariots pressed close against one another, the kings raised lion-like roars and poured out abundant acclaim. And witnessing the duel between the two, thousands of warriors standing there clapped their arms in loud applause and waved their garments—exulting in the spectacle of single combat amid the larger war.”
