युधिष्ठिरस्य धनंजय-प्रति गर्हा
Yudhiṣṭhira’s Reproach to Dhanaṃjaya
सिंहनादश्न संजज्ञे क्षेेला: किलकिलास्तथा । पाण्डवानां महाराज दृष्ट्वा राज्ञ: पराक्रमम्,महाराज! राजाका वह पराक्रम देखकर पाण्डव-सैनिकोंमें सिंहनाद, आनन्द, कलरव और किलकिल शब्द होने लगा
siṁhanādaś ca saṁjajñe kṣvelāḥ kilakilās tathā | pāṇḍavānāṁ mahārāja dṛṣṭvā rājñaḥ parākramam ||
サञ्जयは言った。「大王よ、パーンダヴァの戦士たちが王の武勇を目にしたとき、彼らの間に獅子の咆哮のごとき鬨の声が起こり、歓喜の叫び、轟く喧噪、鋭い絶叫が相次いで湧き上がった。」

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how visible courage and effective action on the battlefield can transform collective morale: when warriors witness decisive prowess, their confidence surges and expresses itself as unified, energizing acclamation.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that, after seeing the king’s (i.e., the leading commander’s) heroic prowess, the Pāṇḍava forces erupted in loud battle-cries—lion-roars and various jubilant shouts—signaling heightened enthusiasm and readiness to fight.
