Shloka 33
ततस्तौ पुरुषव्याप्रावुभी माधवपाण्डवौ | द्रोणकर्णो समासाद्य धिष्ठितौ रणमूर्धनि,तदनन्तर वे दोनों पुरुषसिंह श्रीकृष्ण और अर्जुन युद्धके मुहानेपर द्रोणाचार्य और कर्णके सामने जाकर खड़े हो गये
tatas tau puruṣavyāprāv ubhau mādhava-pāṇḍavau | droṇa-karṇau samāsādya dhiṣṭhitau raṇamūrdhani ||
Kemudian kedua harimau di antara manusia itu—Mādhava Śrī Kṛṣṇa dan Pāṇḍava Arjuna—maju menghadapi Droṇa dan Karṇa, lalu berdiri tegak di garis terdepan medan laga.

The verse highlights steadfast resolve in the face of daunting opposition: rightful action in war is not mere aggression but a deliberate assumption of responsibility—leaders step forward to meet the strongest adversaries, embodying courage and commitment to their chosen duty.
