Adhyāya 40 (Book 7, Droṇa-parva): Abhimanyu’s Rapid Advance and Battlefield Disruption
प्रावादयन्त संहृष्टा: पाण्डूनां तत्र सैनिका: | अपश्यन् स्मयमानाश्न सौभद्रस्य विचेष्टितम्,पाण्डवोंके सैनिक वहाँ हर्षमें भरकर नाना प्रकारके सभी रणवाद्य बजाने लगे और मुसकराते हुए वे सुभद्राकुमारका पराक्रम देखने लगे
prāvādayanta saṁhṛṣṭāḥ pāṇḍūnāṁ tatra sainikāḥ | apaśyan smayamānāś ca saubhadrasya viceṣṭitam ||
サンジャヤは言った。するとパーンダヴァ軍の兵たちは歓喜に満ち、さまざまな軍楽器を鳴らし始めた。彼らは微笑みつつ、サウバドラ（アビマンニュ）の働きと武勇を見守り、その勇気によって苛烈な戦場のただ中で心を奮い立たせた。

Even within the harshness of war, collective morale and righteous confidence are sustained by witnessing courageous, disciplined action; the verse highlights how exemplary valor can steady a community and renew resolve.
As Abhimanyu (Saubhadra) performs notable feats in battle, the Pāṇḍava troops, delighted, sound their war-instruments and watch him with smiles, encouraged by his prowess.
