द्रोणकर्णयोः निशि संप्रहारः — Night Engagement with Droṇa and Karṇa
अथैनं कौरवश्रेष्ठा: सर्व एव महारथा:
athainaṁ kauravaśreṣṭhāḥ sarva eva mahārathāḥ
Sañjaya dit : Alors tous ces grands guerriers de char, les premiers parmi les Kaurava, tournèrent leur attention vers lui, se rassemblant comme un seul au cœur de la bataille, où la loyauté envers leur camp et les exigences de la guerre commandent une action collective et rapide.
संजय उवाच
The line highlights the battlefield ethic of coordinated resolve: elite warriors act together when a critical target or situation arises, reflecting the Kshatriya emphasis on solidarity, readiness, and decisive response within the harsh moral pressures of war.
Sañjaya reports that the foremost Kaurava mahārathas collectively focus on a particular person (“him”), implying a coordinated movement or intent—such as surrounding, confronting, or responding to that figure in the ongoing combat.
