Duryodhana-śibira-praveśaḥ — The Pāṇḍavas Enter the Kaurava Camp; The Burning of Arjuna’s Chariot
यातेषु मृगयां चैव तृणबिन्दोरथाश्रमम् | अभिमन्युश्व यद् बाल एको बहुभिराहवे
yāteṣu mṛgayāṃ caiva tṛṇabindor athāśramam | abhimanyuś ca yad bāla eko bahubhir āhave ||
ວາຍຸກ່າວວ່າ: «ເມື່ອພວກເຂົາໄປລ່າສັດ ແລ້ວຕໍ່ມາໄປຫາອາສຣົມຂອງ ຕຣິນະບິນດຸ ຈົ່ງຈື່ຈຳດ້ວຍວ່າ ອະພິມັນຍຸ—ຍັງເປັນເດັກນ້ອຍ—ໄດ້ຢືນຢັນຢູ່ຜູ້ດຽວໃນສົງຄາມ ຕໍ່ສູ້ກັບຫຼາຍຄົນ».

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights exemplary valor and steadfastness: even youth does not excuse abandoning one’s duty in a righteous cause, and true heroism is measured by resolve and adherence to kṣatriya-dharma even when outnumbered.
Vāyu recalls notable episodes as moral and narrative exemplars—mentioning a hunt and a visit to Tṛṇabindu’s hermitage, and especially pointing to the famous scene of Abhimanyu, still young, facing many warriors alone in battle.
