Devanagari script

अभ्यद्रवन्त संग्रामे भीमसेनं युयुत्सव: । उस वीरके गिरते ही आपके सैनिक भयसे व्याकुल होनेपर भी संग्राममें जूझनेकी इच्छासे भीमसेनकी ओर दौड़े

Transliteration

abhyadravanta saṅgrāme bhīmasenaṃ yuyutsavaḥ |

Translation

Sañjaya said: Eager to fight, they rushed toward Bhīmasena on the battlefield. Even as that hero fell and your troops were shaken with fear, their will to engage in combat drove them forward toward Bhīma—showing how, in war, resolve can momentarily override panic and grief.
