Chapter 45
व्याकुलीकृतमत्यर्थ पश्य सैन्यं किरीटिना । नानामृगसहस्राणां यूथं केसरिणा यथा
sañjaya uvāca | vyākulīkṛtam atyarthaṃ paśya sainyaṃ kirīṭinā | nānāmṛga-sahasrāṇāṃ yūthaṃ kesariṇā yathā ||
សញ្ជ័យបាននិយាយថា៖ ចូរមើលទៅ—អរជុន អ្នកពាក់មកុដ បានធ្វើឲ្យកងទ័ពនោះច្របូកច្របល់យ៉ាងខ្លាំង ដូចសត្វសិង្ហដែលធ្វើឲ្យហ្វូងសត្វក្តាន់ជាច្រើនពាន់ប្រភេទភ័យរត់ខ្ចាត់ខ្ចាយ។

Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Arjuna has severely unsettled the Kaurava forces, comparing their panic to a herd of many thousands of deer scattering before a lion.
