manobhiḥ saha saṁvegaiḥ saṁsmṛtya ca purātanam | sāmarthya-pāṇḍaveyānāṁ yathā pratyakṣa-darśanāt | vaiśampāyana uvāca |

Translation

Vaiśampāyana berkata: “Wahai Janamejaya, mendengar ucapan Bhishma, para raja—terguncang oleh gejolak batin—mengingat kembali kepahlawanan lama para Pandawa sejelas seakan-akan mereka melihatnya langsung. Kenangan itu melunakkan keberanian mereka dan menenggelamkan mereka dalam cemas dan sangsi.”
