Translation
Sañjaya said: Thus reassured by Bhāradvāja (Droṇācārya), King Jayadratha of Sindhu cast off his fear of Pārtha (Arjuna) and set his mind again upon fighting. The verse highlights how counsel and authority can steady a wavering warrior, turning fear into renewed resolve within the harsh moral pressures of war.
