サンジャヤは言った。「ユディシュティラ軍の轟く声を聞いて、大車戦士たるクリタヴァルマン、クリパ、そしてドローナの子（アシュヴァッターマ）は、ドゥルヨーダナ王に次の言葉を告げた。」

Educational Q&A
Even in a war narrative, the verse highlights the ethical weight of counsel and leadership: the collective roar of battle is not merely noise but a summons to decision, responsibility, and discernment. Elders and champions must speak frankly to the ruler, whose choices affect the fate of many.
Sañjaya reports that Kṛtavarmā, Kṛpa, and Aśvatthāmā hear the loud commotion from Yudhiṣṭhira’s forces and then turn to address King Duryodhana, setting up their advice or reaction to the developing situation on the battlefield.
