Droṇa’s Rebuke to Duryodhana after Jayadratha’s Fall (द्रोणेन दुर्योधनं प्रति प्रत्युक्तिः)
चण्डवातविभिगन्नानां समुद्राणामिव स्वन: । रणे5भवद् बलौघानामन्योन्यमभिधावताम्,प्रचण्ड वायुके थपेड़े खाकर उद्वेलित हुए समुद्रोंक जलसे जैसा भैरव गर्जन सुनायी देता है, उस रणक्षेत्रमें एक-दूसरेपर धावा करनेवाले सैन्यसमूहोंका कोलाहल भी वैसा ही भयंकर था
caṇḍavātavibhinnānāṃ samudrāṇām iva svanaḥ | raṇe 'bhavad balaughānām anyonyam abhidhāvatām ||
Sañjaya said: In that battle, the roar that arose from the massed armies charging at one another was terrifying—like the thunderous sound of oceans churned and shattered by violent winds. The simile underscores the war’s overwhelming, impersonal force, where collective fury drowns out individual restraint and the ethical weight of conflict becomes palpable through its sheer devastation.
