द्रोणेन केकय-चेदि-वीरवधः
Droṇa’s engagements with the Kekayas and Cedis
तत्र पार्थस्य भुजयोर्महद्धलमदृश्यत । यत् क्रुद्धो बहुला: सेना: सर्वतः समवारयत्,उस समय वहाँ अर्जुनकी दोनों भुजाओंका महान् बल देखनेमें आया। उन्होंने कुपित होकर उन विशाल सेनाओंको सब ओर जहाँ-की-तहाँ रोक दिया
tatra pārthasya bhujayor mahad balam adṛśyata | yat kruddho bahulāḥ senāḥ sarvataḥ samavārayat ||
Là, la puissance immense des deux bras de Pārtha se révéla : dans sa colère, il contint de toutes parts les nombreuses et vastes armées, les retenant partout où elles cherchaient à s’avancer.

Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Arjuna’s extraordinary arm-strength became evident on the battlefield as, angered, he halted and held back numerous enemy forces pressing in from all directions.
