Adhyāya 10: Śrutakarmā’s Engagements; Prativindhya–Citra Duel; Drauṇi Advances toward Bhīma
द्रवमाणे महाराज कौरवाणां बलार्णवे । व्यूह पार्थ: स्वकं सैन्यमतिष्ठद् भ्रातृभिर्वृतः,संजयने कहा--भरतनन्दन महाराज! उस दिन जब महाथनुर्धर द्रोणाचार्य मारे गये, महारथी द्रोणपुत्रका संकल्प व्यर्थ हो गया और समुद्रके समान विशाल कौरव-सेना भागने लगी, उस समय कुन्तीकुमार अर्जुन अपनी सेनाका व्यूह बनाकर अपने भाइयोंके साथ रणभूमिमें डटे रहे

dravamāṇe mahārāja kauravāṇāṁ balārṇave |
vyūhaṁ pārthaḥ svakaṁ sainyam atiṣṭhad bhrātṛbhir vṛtaḥ ||
મહારાજ! કૌરવોની બલસેના-સમુદ્ર જ્યારે તૂટી ને ભાગવા લાગ્યો, ત્યારે પાર્થ અર્જુને પોતાની સેના વ્યૂહબદ્ધ કરી, ભાઈઓથી ઘેરાયેલો, રણભૂમિમાં અડગ ઊભો રહ્યો.

Educational Q&A
Even when a larger force collapses in fear, dharmic leadership is shown through steadiness, disciplined organization (vyūha), and refusal to abandon one’s duty; courage is expressed not as rage but as firm, ordered action.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that the Kaurava host, vast like an ocean, is in disarray and fleeing; at that moment Arjuna arranges his troops into a formation and holds his ground, supported by his brothers.
