Dhṛtarāṣṭra–Saṃjaya Dialogue; Account of Sātyaki vs Alambusa
न्यवारयन्त संदहृष्टा: पाण्डुसैन्ये बृहत्तमा: । इस प्रकार उन्हें युयुधानके पीछे दौड़ते देख पाण्डव-सेनाके प्रमुख वीर हर्षमें भरकर द्रोणाचार्यको रोकनेका प्रयत्न करने लगे ।। ६३ $ ।। समासाद्य तु हार्दिक्यं रथानां प्रवरं रथम्
nyavārayanta saṃdahṛṣṭāḥ pāṇḍusainye bṛhattamāḥ | samāsādya tu hārdikyaṃ rathānāṃ pravaraṃ ratham ||
Sañjaya dit : Les plus grands héros de l’armée des Pāṇḍava, transportés d’ardeur, tentèrent d’arrêter Droṇācārya lorsqu’ils le virent poursuivre Yuyudhāna. Puis, s’approchant de Hārdikya (Kṛtavarmā), ils affrontèrent ce char d’exception parmi les chars, afin de contenir l’assaut et de maintenir le devoir de leur camp dans le tumulte du combat.

Educational Q&A
Even amid exhilaration and fury, warriors act within the frame of kṣatriya-dharma: protecting comrades, checking an overwhelming foe, and meeting force with disciplined resistance rather than panic.
Droṇa is seen charging after Yuyudhāna (Sātyaki). The leading Pāṇḍava fighters, heartened by the moment, attempt to block Droṇa’s advance; they also close in upon Hārdikya (Kṛtavarman), confronting his renowned chariot in the press of battle.
