Shloka 34
Droṇa-parva Adhyāya 94: Sātyaki–Sudarśana Yuddha (सात्यकि–सुदर्शन युद्ध)
अनीकान्यर्दयन् युद्धे त्वरित: श्वेतवाहन:
anīkāny ardayan yuddhe tvaritaḥ śvetavāhanaḥ
サञ्जयは語った。戦のただ中で、白き駿馬に曳かれる戦車の俊敏なる勇士は、敵の陣形を激しく圧し、砕き、急迫の速さで押し返した。骨肉相争う戦の道義的重みの中にあっても、止まぬ武の勢いが描かれる。

The verse highlights the Kṣatriya ideal of decisive action in battle—swiftly confronting and breaking hostile formations—while implicitly reminding the listener that such prowess unfolds within the ethically fraught setting of a civil war, where duty and destruction coexist.
Sañjaya reports that the warrior known as Śvetavāhana—commonly understood as Arjuna, famed for his chariot drawn by white horses—moves rapidly through the battlefield, overpowering and scattering enemy troop-formations.
