Droṇa-parva Adhyāya 25 — Bhīma’s Disruption of Elephant Formations and Bhagadatta’s Shock Advance

स सम्प्रहारस्तुमुलस्तयो: पुरुषसिंहयो: । सैनिकानां च सर्वेषां तयोश्ष प्रीतिवर्धन:,उन दोनों पुरुषसिंहोंमें बड़ा भयंकर युद्ध छिड़ गया। वह संग्राम समस्त सैनिकोंकी तथा उन दोनोंकी भी प्रसन्नताको बढ़ा रहा था

sa samprahāras tumulas tayoḥ puruṣasiṁhayoḥ | sainikānāṁ ca sarveṣāṁ tayoś ca prītivardhanaḥ ||

Sañjaya dit : Entre ces deux héros pareils à des lions éclata un affrontement farouche et tumultueux. Cette bataille accroissait l’ardeur et l’ivresse de tous les soldats—et des deux champions eux-mêmes—révélant comment, dans la fournaise de la guerre, la prouesse et le goût de la victoire peuvent enfler tandis que la ruine se répand.
