धर्मराजस्य चिन्ता, भीमसेनप्रेषणम्, द्रोणानीकप्रवेशप्रयत्नः
Yudhiṣṭhira’s Anxiety and the Dispatch of Bhīma; Attempted Breakthrough into Droṇa’s Formation
अदृष्टपूर्व तद् दृष्टवा साधुवादों महानभूत् । सिद्धचारणसंघानां सैनिकानां च सर्वश:,यह अदृष्टपूर्व कार्य देखकर सिद्ध, चारण तथा सैनिकोंके मुखसे निकला हुआ महान् साधुवाद सब ओर गूँज उठा
adṛṣṭapūrvaṃ tad dṛṣṭvā sādhuvādo mahān abhūt | siddhacāraṇasaṃghānāṃ sainikānāṃ ca sarvaśaḥ ||
Sañjaya dit : «À la vue de cet acte sans précédent, un grand cri d’acclamation—“Bravo !”—s’éleva de toutes parts, lancé par les assemblées de Siddhas et de Cāraṇas, ainsi que par les soldats de toute l’armée.»

The verse highlights how extraordinary action (especially martial prowess) naturally elicits collective admiration, even from celestial witnesses; it invites reflection on the tension between celebrating skill and remembering the ethical weight of violence in war.
Sañjaya reports that after an unprecedented feat is witnessed on the battlefield, loud praise erupts everywhere—from Siddhas and Cāraṇas as well as from the soldiers across the army.
