Shloka 10
धृतराष्ट्र-संजय-संवादः — सैन्यप्रशंसा, भेदनवृत्तान्त-प्रश्नः
Dhṛtarāṣṭra–Sañjaya Dialogue: Praise of the Host and Inquiry after the Breach
तत: शड्खमुपाध्माय त्वरयन् वाजिन: स्वयम् | इतस्ततस्तान् रचयन् द्रोणश्चरति वेगित:,तदनन्तर द्रोणाचार्य शंख बजाकर स्वयं ही अपने घोड़ोंको उतावलीके साथ हाँकते और उन सैनिकोंका व्यूह-निर्माण करते हुए इधर-उधर बड़े वेगसे विचर रहे थे
tataḥ śaṅkham upādhmāya tvarayan vājinaḥ svayam | itas tatas tān racayan droṇaś carati vegitaḥ ||
Sañjaya said: Then, having sounded his conch, Droṇa himself hurriedly urged on his horses; moving swiftly here and there, he kept arranging those troops into formation. The scene underscores the disciplined, strategic face of war—where a commander’s urgency and control over men and mounts drives the battle’s momentum, even as the larger conflict remains morally fraught.
