サンジャヤは言った。サーティヤキが進みゆくと、クル族の武者たちは憤りに燃え、背後から追いすがった。ドゥルヨーダナ、チトラセーナ、ドゥフシャーサナ、ヴィヴィンシャティ、シャクニ、ドゥフサハ、若き勇者ドゥルダルシャ、クラタ、そしてなお多くの難敵たる豪勇が、武器を取り、怒りに駆られて前へ躍り出て、サーティヤキの後を追って走った。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how amarṣa (resentful anger) can override judgment and propel groups into reckless escalation. In the Mahābhārata’s ethical frame, such krodha-driven action clouds dharma-based discernment and intensifies adharma on the battlefield.
Sātyaki is moving ahead, and a cluster of prominent Kaurava fighters—named individually—rush after him from behind with weapons in hand, motivated by indignation and the urge to strike him down.
