Transliteration
pañcālān eva tu droṇo dhṛṣṭadyumnapurogamān | mamarda ustarasā vīrāḥ pañcame 'hani bhārata ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: Drona, however, bore down upon the Pāñcālas—led in the van by Dhṛṣṭadyumna. On that fifth day of battle, O Bhārata, the heroes, driven by fierce momentum, crushed and trampled one another in the press of war—an image of how martial duty, once unleashed, turns into mutual devastation.
