Saubhadra under Concentrated Assault; Pārṣata’s Intervention and Escalation
तत्राद्भुतमपश्याम धृष्टद्युम्नस्य पौरुषम् । यदेक: समरे वीरस्तस्थौ गिरिरिवाचल:
tatrādbhutam apaśyāma dhṛṣṭadyumnasya pauruṣam | yad ekaḥ samare vīras tasthau girir ivācalaḥ ||
Sañjaya berkata: Di sana kami menyaksikan sesuatu yang menakjubkan—keperkasaan Dhṛṣṭadyumna; sang pahlawan, seorang diri di medan laga, berdiri teguh laksana gunung yang tak tergoyahkan.

Educational Q&A
Heroism in dharmic warfare is portrayed as steadiness and fearlessness under pressure—remaining firm in one’s duty even when isolated, without losing composure or resolve.
Sanjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that he and others witnessed Dhṛṣṭadyumna’s extraordinary prowess: he stood alone in battle, unshaken, compared to an immovable mountain.
