धर्मराजस्य चिन्ता, भीमसेनप्रेषणम्, द्रोणानीकप्रवेशप्रयत्नः
Yudhiṣṭhira’s Anxiety and the Dispatch of Bhīma; Attempted Breakthrough into Droṇa’s Formation
रथं रथवरस्याजोौ युक्त लब्धोदकैर्हयै: । दृष्टवा कुरुबलश्रेष्ठा: पुनर्विमनसो5भवन्,रथियोंमें श्रेष्ठ अर्जुनके उस रथको समरांगणमें पानी पीकर सुस्ताये हुए घोड़ोंसे जुता हुआ देख कौरव-सेनाके श्रेष्ठ वीर फिर उदास हो गये
sañjaya uvāca | rathaṁ rathavarasyārjau yuktam labdhodakair hayaiḥ | dṛṣṭvā kurubalāśreṣṭhāḥ punar vimanaso 'bhavan |
Sañjaya said: Seeing Arjuna’s chariot—the finest of charioteers—yoked with horses that had obtained water and were refreshed on the battlefield, the foremost warriors of the Kuru host once again became downcast. The sight signaled that Arjuna’s strength and readiness had returned, unsettling their hopes in the midst of war.
