Chapter 111
वेग॑ चक्रे महान्तं च राक्षसेन्द्ररथं प्रति
vegaṃ cakre mahāntaṃ ca rākṣasendrarathaṃ prati
Sañjaya dit : Il prit une vitesse prodigieuse et s’élança, fonçant droit sur le char du seigneur des Rākṣasas—image d’une résolution guerrière sans relâche au cœur d’une guerre où le courage et le devoir (dharma) sont éprouvés à chaque instant.
