भीमसेनस्य वेगाभिपातः—विशोकसारथिसंवादश्च
Bhīma’s surge and dialogue with charioteer Viśoka
वध्यमाने तत: सैन्ये द्रौपदेया महारथा:,तदनन्तर जब पाण्डव-सेना मारी जाने लगी, तब महारथी द्रौपदीपुत्र और सात्यकि तथा धर्मराज युधिष्ठिर और पांचाल सैनिक संगठित हो घोर मृत्युभयको छोड़कर द्रोणकुमारपर टूट पड़े
vadhyamāne tataḥ sainye draupadeyā mahārathāḥ | tad-anantaraṃ yadā pāṇḍava-senā māryamāṇābhavat tadā mahārathinaḥ draupadī-putrāḥ sātyakiś ca dharmarājo yudhiṣṭhiraḥ pāñcālāś ca sainikāḥ saṅghaṭitāḥ ghora-mṛtyu-bhayaṃ tyaktvā droṇa-kumāraṃ prati pratyapatanta ||
Sañjaya said: When the army was being cut down, and the Pāṇḍava host began to be slain, the great chariot-warriors—the sons of Draupadī, along with Sātyaki, King Yudhiṣṭhira, and the Pāñcāla troops—formed up in a body. Casting aside the dreadful fear of death, they surged upon Droṇa’s son. In the moral atmosphere of the epic, this moment shows disciplined solidarity and resolve: fear is subordinated to duty toward one’s side and to the immediate necessity of checking a devastating foe.
