sahitau draupadeyāś ca karṇaṃ yāntu mahārathāḥ | dhṛṣṭadyumnaḥ śikhaṇḍī ca yudhāmanyuś ca uttamaujāḥ ca draupadyāḥ pañca putrāḥ—ete sarve mahārathāḥ saṃhatāḥ karṇam abhidravantu ||
Sañjaya dit : «Que les grands guerriers de char marchent ensemble contre Karṇa : Dhṛṣṭadyumna, Śikhaṇḍin, et les alliés Yudhāmanyu et Uttamaujas, ainsi que les cinq fils de Draupadī. Unis comme un seul corps, que tous ces combattants d’élite se ruent sur Karṇa.»

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical and practical force of unity in a righteous cause: when confronting an exceptionally powerful adversary, coordinated effort and disciplined solidarity are presented as the appropriate response rather than isolated heroics.
Sañjaya reports a battlefield directive: Dhṛṣṭadyumna, Śikhaṇḍin, Yudhāmanyu, Uttamaujas, and Draupadī’s five sons are to act together and launch a combined assault on Karṇa, indicating Karṇa’s formidable threat and the need for a concentrated counterattack.
