सर्वे तु प्रतिसंरब्धा हीमन्त: सत्त्वचोदिता: । स्थिरीभूता महात्मान: प्रत्यगच्छन् धनंजयम्,फिर वे लज्जित हुए समस्त महामनस्वी सैनिक धैर्य और साहससे प्रेरित हो युद्धके लिये स्थिरचित्त होकर रोषपूर्वक अर्जुनकी ओर जाने लगे

ಆಗ ಆ ಮಹಾತ್ಮ ಯೋಧರೆಲ್ಲರೂ ಲಜ್ಜೆಯಿಂದ ದಗ್ಧರಾಗಿ, ಧೈರ್ಯ–ಸಾಹಸಗಳಿಂದ ಪ್ರೇರಿತರಾಗಿ, ಮನಸ್ಸನ್ನು ಸ್ಥಿರಪಡಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು ಕ್ರೋಧದಿಂದ ಧನಂಜಯನಾದ ಅರ್ಜುನನ ಕಡೆಗೆ ಮುನ್ನಡೆದರು।

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how inner qualities (sattva as courage/mental strength) can stabilize a person under pressure, yet in a war context that same steadiness may serve anger and the drive to fight. It invites reflection on the ethical ambiguity of martial resolve: firmness of mind is a virtue, but its moral value depends on the intention and the end it serves.
Sanjaya reports that the assembled warriors, stirred up and made fierce, regain composure and battle-readiness and then move forward to confront Arjuna (Dhana f1jaya). It marks a renewed collective advance against him after a moment of hesitation or setback.
