Droṇa-parva Adhyāya 45: Saubhadra–Lakṣmaṇa-saṃyoga and Kaurava Counter-Encirclement
सत्यश्रवसि चाक्षिप्ते त्वरमाणा महारथा: । प्रगृह्य विपुलं शस्त्रमभिमन्युमुपाद्रवन्,सत्यश्रवाके मारे जानेपर उन सभी महारथियोंने प्रचुर अस्त्र-शस्त्र लेकर बड़ी उतावलीके साथ अभिमन्युपर आक्रमण किया
satyśravasi cākṣipte tvaramāṇā mahārathāḥ | pragṛhya vipulaṃ śastram abhimanyum upādravan |
サンジャヤは言った。「サティヤーシュラヴァスが討たれるや、大車戦士たちは焦りと怒りに駆られ、数多の武器を手にしてアビマンニュへ襲いかかった。」

The verse highlights how quickly warfare turns into retaliatory frenzy: the fall of one warrior provokes an urgent collective assault. It invites reflection on dharma in battle—whether grief and anger justify abandoning restraint and fair conduct.
After Satyśravas is struck down, the leading warriors rapidly arm themselves and converge to attack Abhimanyu, intensifying the pressure on him in the ongoing battle episode of Droṇa Parva.
