Shloka 35
अभ्यधावन्त वेगेन ततो युद्धमवर्तत,राजन! इसी प्रकार भीष्म, द्रोण आदि कौरव योद्धा भी बड़े वेगसे पाण्डव-सेनापर टूट पड़े; फिर तो दोनों दलोंमें भयंकर युद्ध होने लगा
abhyadhāvanta vegena tato yuddham avartata, rājan! īsī prakāra bhīṣma, droṇa ādi kaurava yoddhā bhī baṛe vegase pāṇḍava-senāpar ṭūṭ paṛe; phir to donoṃ dalom̐ meṃ bhayaṅkara yuddha hone lagā
ત્યારે તેઓ ભારે વેગથી ધાવ્યા અને પછી યુદ્ધ પ્રચંડ રીતે શરૂ થયું।

The verse underscores the inexorable momentum of war once leaders commit their forces: personal prowess and command decisions rapidly draw entire armies into a fearful clash, highlighting the grave ethical weight borne by rulers and commanders.
Sañjaya reports to King Dhṛtarāṣṭra that both sides surge forward; Bhīṣma, Droṇa, and other Kaurava champions rush upon the Pāṇḍava host, and a terrifying battle breaks out between the two armies.
