द्रोणविक्रमदर्शनम् / The Display of Droṇa’s Onslaught and the Debate on Pāṇḍava Regrouping
तावकाश्न महाराज जयं लब्ध्वा महाहवे । पाण्डवेयान् रणे जष्नुर्द्रवमाणान् समन््ततः,महाराज! आपके पुत्रोंने उस महासमरमें विजय प्राप्त करके सब ओर भागते हुए पाण्डव-योद्धाओंको मारना आरम्भ किया
tāvakāś ca mahārāja jayaṁ labdhvā mahāhave | pāṇḍaveyān raṇe jaghnur dravamāṇān samantataḥ ||
サンジャヤは言った。「大王よ、御子らはその大合戦で優勢を得るや、四方へ乱れて逃げ散るパーンダヴァ軍の戦士たちを討ち始めた。」

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the moral strain of warfare: victory can quickly become ruthless pursuit. It invites reflection on kṣatriya-dharma—whether force used against a retreating enemy remains within righteous conduct or slips into excess driven by triumph and anger.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that the Kaurava side has gained an advantage in the fighting, and that Kaurava warriors begin killing Pāṇḍava fighters who are scattering and fleeing in all directions.
