Dijo Sañjaya: «Oh Rey, el caudillo pañcala Dhṛṣṭadyumna, Sātyaki y los dos Pāṇḍavas hijos de Mādrī (Nakula y Sahadeva) se cerraron desde todos los flancos sobre los héroes encabezados por Śakuni.»

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights coordinated action and steadfastness in a righteous cause: allies act together, surrounding a dangerous opponent (Śakuni’s group). Ethically, it reflects the kṣatriya obligation to confront adharma-supporting forces with courage and disciplined strategy rather than isolated impulse.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Dhṛṣṭadyumna, Sātyaki, and the twin Pāṇḍavas (Nakula and Sahadeva) engage the warriors led by Śakuni, attacking them from all directions as the battle intensifies.
