Translation

Sañjaya said: Seeing your vast army being held back by Bhīma, he spoke to Dhṛṣṭadyumna: “Hero, restrain Kumbhayoni (Droṇa) from advancing.” The line underscores the urgency of command in battle and the moral tension of confronting a revered teacher who has become a principal instrument of war.
