Shloka 10
धृतराष्ट्र रवाच तस्मिन् प्रविष्टे संरब्धे मम पुत्रस्य वाहिनीम्
dhṛtarāṣṭra uvāca tasmin praviṣṭe saṃrabdhe mama putrasya vāhinīm
Dhṛtarāṣṭra said: “When he had entered and, inflamed with wrath, fell upon the army of my son…” (The line conveys the blind king’s anxious focus on the fate of the Kaurava host as the battle turns fierce, revealing the moral tension between paternal attachment and the catastrophic consequences of adharma-driven war.)

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how attachment (especially paternal attachment) narrows moral vision: Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s concern centers on “my son’s army,” reflecting the ethical blindness that accompanies partiality and fuels the ruinous momentum of adharma in war.
Dhṛtarāṣṭra begins speaking (within Sañjaya’s report) about a warrior who has entered the Kaurava ranks in a rage and is attacking the Kaurava host; the king’s words frame the scene from the standpoint of fear for Duryodhana’s forces.
