Śalya–Bhīma Gadāyuddham (मद्रराज-भीमसेन गदायुद्धम्)
तस्य लाघवमाज्ञाय सत्त्वं चामिततेजस: । सहिता: सर्वराजान: सिंहनादमथानदन्,अमिततेजस्वी अभिमन्युकी वह फुर्ती और शक्ति देखकर सब राजा एक साथ सिंहनाद करने लगे
tasya lāghavam ājñāya sattvaṃ cāmitatejasaḥ | sahitāḥ sarvarājānaḥ siṃhanādam athānanadan |
サञ्जयは語った。計り知れぬ光輝を帯びたその戦士の敏捷と勇気を見て、諸王は一斉に獅子の咆哮のごとき鬨の声を上げた――戦場の武勇を讃える喝采であり、戦のただ中で英雄を高く掲げ、味方の意志をも固めるものであった。

The verse highlights how recognized excellence—speed (lāghava) and courage (sattva)—naturally evokes collective affirmation. In a dharmic-ethical frame, such acclaim can strengthen resolve and unity, but it also reminds that war magnifies praise of prowess even amid tragic consequences.
Sañjaya reports that, upon perceiving the warrior’s agility and valor, the assembled kings shout a united lion-roar—an approving war-cry meant to celebrate and encourage martial performance on the battlefield.
