Shloka 80
घटोत्कचमसम्भान्तं राक्षसैर्बहुभिव॒तम् । सिंहशार्दूलसदृशैर्मत्तमातड्विक्रमै:
ghaṭotkacam asambhrāntaṁ rākṣasair bahubhir vṛtam | siṁhaśārdūlasadṛśair mattamātaṅgavikramaiḥ ||
サンジャヤは言った。ガトートカチャは微動だにせず立ち、数多のラークシャサに取り囲まれていた――その武威は酔い狂う象のごとく、姿は獅子や虎にも似ていた。この光景は夜を徘徊する戦士たちの恐るべき力を示すと同時に、混乱と恐怖の戦場にあってなお揺るがぬ不動の心を際立たせる。

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes steadiness (asambhrānti) in the midst of terror and confusion. Even when surrounded by formidable forces, courage and composure are portrayed as decisive virtues in righteous struggle.
Sañjaya describes Ghaṭotkaca on the battlefield, standing firm while encircled by many rākṣasa fighters. Their strength is compared to frenzied elephants and their ferocity to lions and tigers, intensifying the sense of a fearsome war-scene.
