युधिष्ठिरस्य कृष्णार्जुनादि-समाश्वासनम्
Yudhiṣṭhira’s reassurance and praise of Kṛṣṇa, Arjuna, Bhīma, and Sātyaki
सैन्येन महता युक्तो म्लेच्छानामनिवर्तिनाम् । आसाद्य च रणे यत्तो युयुधानमयोधयत्,उसने युद्धसे पीछे न हटनेवाले म्लेच्छोंकी विशाल सेनाके साथ समरांगणमें सात्यकिके पास पहुँचकर उनके साथ प्रयत्नपूर्वक युद्ध आरम्भ किया
sainyena mahatā yukto mlecchānām anivartinām | āsādya ca raṇe yatto yuyudhānam ayodhayat ||
Sanjaya said: Armed with a vast host of Mleccha warriors who would not turn back, he advanced with determination into the battlefield, reached Yuyudhāna (Sātyaki), and engaged him in strenuous combat. The scene underscores the relentless escalation of war, where resolve and martial duty drive opponents into direct confrontation despite the grave moral cost of continued bloodshed.
