अध्याय ३१ — द्रोणानीके तुमुलसंग्रामः
The Tumultuous Battle around Droṇa’s Formation
Devanagari script
अचिन्तयंश्न ते सर्वे पाण्डवानां महारथा: । कथं नो वासविस्त्रायाच्छत्रुभ्य इति मारिष,आर्य! उस समय समस्त पाण्डव महारथी यह सोचने लगे कि इन्द्रकुमार अर्जुन शत्रुओंके हाथसे हमारी रक्षा कैसे कर सकते हैं?
Transliteration
acintayaṃś ca te sarve pāṇḍavānāṃ mahārathāḥ | kathaṃ no vāsaviḥ trāyāc chatrubhya iti māriṣa ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: Then all those great chariot-warriors on the Pāṇḍavas’ side fell into anxious reflection: “How can Vāsavi’s son—Arjuna, the son of Indra—protect us from the enemies?” The line conveys a moment of moral and strategic dependence in war, where the righteous party’s confidence rests upon the prowess and responsibility of a single champion.
