Śaineya’s Breakthrough and Reunion with Arjuna (शैनेयस्य समागमः)
भीमसेनं तथा दृष्टवा धर्मराजपुरोगमा: । विसृजन्त: शरान् राजन् कृतवर्माणमार्दयन्,राजन! भीमसेनको वैसी अवस्थामें देखकर धर्मराज आदि महारथियोंने बाणोंकी वर्षा करके कृतवर्माको बड़ी पीड़ा दी
bhīmasenaṃ tathā dṛṣṭvā dharmarāja-purogamāḥ | visṛjantaḥ śarān rājan kṛtavarmāṇam ārdayan ||
Sañjaya dit : Voyant Bhīmasena en cet état, ô Roi, les grands guerriers conduits par Dharmarāja (Yudhiṣṭhira) déchaînèrent une pluie de flèches et accablèrent cruellement Kṛtavarmā.

Educational Q&A
In the midst of battle, dharma for kṣatriyas includes protecting comrades and responding to immediate injustice or danger with disciplined force. Leadership (Dharmarāja at the forefront) is shown as responsibility in crisis—mobilizing others to shield the threatened and check the aggressor.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that when Yudhiṣṭhira and other leading Pāṇḍava warriors see Bhīma in a distressed or perilous state, they collectively unleash a rain of arrows and severely harass Kṛtavarmā.
