प्राद्रवंस्ते दिश: सर्वे धार्तराष्ट्रस्य पश्यत: । गन्धर्वोको अस्त्र-शस्त्र लिये तीव्र वेगसे अपनी ओर आते देख वे सभी कौरव सैनिक दुर्योधनके देखते-देखते चारों ओर भागने लगे

ໄວສັມປາຍະນະ ກ່າວວ່າ: ໃນຂະນະທີ່ບຸດຂອງທຣິຕະຣາສະຕຣະກຳລັງເບິ່ງຢູ່ ພວກເຂົາກໍພາກັນແຕກຫນີໄປທຸກທິດ. ເມື່ອເຫັນກອງຄັນທະວະຖືອາວຸດແລະອາວຸດຍິງ ພຸ່ງມາຫາພວກເຂົາດ້ວຍຄວາມໄວອັນດຸເດືອດ ທະຫານກົວຣະວະ—ຕໍ່ໜ້າຕາຂອງທຸຣະໂຢທະນ—ກໍແຕກແຖວ ແລະຫນີກະຈາຍໄປທຸກທິດ.

Educational Q&A
Outer power and boastful confidence are unstable without self-control and dharmic grounding; when confronted by real danger, arrogance can quickly turn into disorder and fear, revealing the weakness of leadership built on pride rather than virtue.
A Gandharva force charges in at great speed, armed with missiles and weapons. The Kaurava troops, with Duryodhana watching, lose courage and scatter in all directions, signaling a sudden collapse of their formation and morale.
