शल्यपरिघातः (Śalya Under Encirclement) — Mahābhārata, Śalya-parva, Adhyāya 12
प्रययु: सिंहनादेन दुर्योधनपुरोगमान् । उस कौरवदलको धावा करते देख पाण्डव-वीर सिंहके समान गर्जना करके दुर्योधन आदिकी ओर बढ़ चले

サンジャヤは言った。「獅子の咆哮をあげて、パーンダヴァの勇士たちは、先頭に立つドゥルヨーダナらに向かって突進した。クル族の軍勢が突撃するのを見て、彼らは恐れなき獅子の叫びで応え、迎え撃つべく前進したのである。」

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights kṣatriya-dharma in its narrative form: when confronted by an advancing enemy, the warriors respond with steadiness and courage, meeting force with disciplined resolve rather than fear—an ethical ideal of duty-bound bravery in battle.
Sañjaya describes the battlefield moment when the Pāṇḍava fighters, roaring like lions, move forward toward Duryodhana and the Kaurava leaders at the front, as both sides close in for combat.
