Shloka 11
त॑ हृष्टास्तावका राजन् रथपत्तिसमन्विता: । गजाश्वसादिबहुला: पाण्डवं समुपाद्रवन्
ta hṛṣṭās tāvakā rājan rathapattisamanvitāḥ | gajāśvasādibahulāḥ pāṇḍavaṃ samupādravan ||
サञ्जयは語った。王よ、そのときあなたの軍勢は歓喜に沸き、戦車武者に支えられ、象騎・馬騎・歩兵に満ちて、一斉にパーンダヴァのアルジュナへ襲いかかった。この場面は、戦において集団の熱狂と数の力が、一人の義に立つ敵へ向けられた単一の暴力衝動へと膨れ上がり、戦場の道義的圧迫をいっそう強めることを示している。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the battlefield reality that massed enthusiasm and superior numbers can drive a coordinated assault, testing the steadiness and dharma of the warrior who faces it. It implicitly contrasts external force (many divisions attacking) with inner resolve and righteous purpose.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that the Kaurava forces, jubilant and reinforced by chariots, elephants, cavalry, and infantry, surge forward and attack the Pāṇḍava—specifically Arjuna—converging upon him in battle.
