ते हन्यमाना वीरेण योधा राजन्‌ रणे तव । प्रजहु: सैन्धवं भीता द्वौ सम॑ नाप्यधावताम्‌,राजन! उस समय रणभूमिमें वीर अर्जुनकी मार खानेवाले योद्धा भयभीत हो सिंधुराजको छोड़ भाग चले। वे इतने डर गये थे कि दो सैनिक भी एक साथ नहीं भागते थे

te hanyamānā vīreṇa yodhā rājan raṇe tava | prajahus saindhavaṃ bhītā dvau samaṃ nāpyadhāvatām ||

Sañjaya said: O King, as your warriors were being cut down in battle by the heroic Arjuna, they fled in fear, abandoning Jayadratha. Terror so seized them that not even two soldiers ran together side by side.
