tat tasya caritaṃ dṛṣṭvā pautras tava viśāmpate | lakṣmaṇo 'bhyapatat tūrṇaṃ sātvati-putram āhave ||
Dijo Sañjaya: Oh señor de los pueblos, al ver aquella proeza del héroe, tu nieto Lakṣmaṇa se precipitó con presteza al combate para hacer frente a Abhimanyu, el hijo de Subhadrā.

The verse highlights the kṣatriya ethos in wartime: witnessing an opponent’s prowess compels an immediate response to uphold honor and perceived duty, even when it draws the young into dangerous escalation.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that, after seeing Abhimanyu’s martial feat, Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s grandson Lakṣmaṇa quickly rushed into the fight to challenge Abhimanyu on the battlefield.
