サञ्जयは言った。アビマンニュは燃える松明を振り回して輪を描くがごとく四方に旋回し、ドローナ、カルナ、クリパ、シャリヤ、ドローナの子アシュヴァッターマ、ボージャ族のクリタヴァルマン、ブリハドバラ、ドゥルヨーダナ、サウマダッティ（ブーリシュラヴァス）、そして大力のシャクニ—さらに多くの王や王子、その多様な軍勢—へ矢を浴びせ続けた。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the moral strain of war: extraordinary personal valor can coexist with ethically troubling circumstances when many renowned elders and commanders converge against a single youthful fighter. It invites reflection on kṣatriya-dharma (courage and steadfastness) alongside the limits of fairness in battle.
Sañjaya reports that Abhimanyu is rapidly circling and shooting arrows in all directions, attacking leading Kaurava warriors—Droṇa, Karṇa, Kṛpa, Śalya, Aśvatthāmā, Kṛtavarmā, Bṛhadbala, Duryodhana, Bhūriśravas, and Śakuni—along with many other kings, princes, and their troops.
