Sauptika Parva, Adhyaya 8 — Dhṛṣṭadyumna-vadha and the Camp’s Nocturnal Rout
तांस्तु दैवहतान् पूर्व पश्चाद् द्रौणिव्यपातयत् । त्रासयन् सर्वभूतानि विनदन् भैरवान् रवान्
tāṁstu daivahatān pūrva paścād drauṇivyapātayat | trāsayan sarvabhūtāni vinadan bhairavān ravān
サञ्जयは言った。「彼らはすでに運命に打たれていたが、そののちドローṇिもまた彼らを斬り伏せた。彼は彼らの前後を行き来しつつ、恐るべき咆哮を轟かせ、あらゆる生きとし生けるものを震え上がらせた。」

Educational Q&A
Even when people are already 'daiva-hata' (doomed by fate), choosing to inflict further violence deepens adharma: it multiplies terror, degrades the agent, and turns warfare into cruelty rather than duty.
Sañjaya describes Drauṇi (Aśvatthāmā) moving through the camp and striking down those already destined to die, while his fearsome roars spread panic among all beings during the night of slaughter.
