The Tumult of Battle Described
ततः सर्वाण्यनीकानि तव पुत्रस्य शासनात् । अभ्यद्रवन् भीमसेनं नदन्तं भैरवान् रवान्,तदनन्तर आपके पुत्रकी आज्ञासे समस्त सेनाएँ भैरव गर्जना करती हुई भीमसेनपर टूट पड़ीं
tataḥ sarvāṇy anīkāni tava putrasya śāsanāt | abhyadravan bhīmasenaṃ nadantaṃ bhairavān ravān ||
അനന്തരം നിങ്ങളുടെ പുത്രന്റെ ആജ്ഞപ്രകാരം സൈന്യത്തിന്റെ എല്ലാ വിഭാഗങ്ങളും ഭയങ്കരമായ ഘോഷങ്ങൾ മുഴക്കി ഭീമസേനന്റെ മേൽ പാഞ്ഞുകയറി।

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the moral weight of leadership: a single command from a ruler can mobilize many into violence. It implicitly warns that authority amplifies consequences—discipline and power, when directed by anger or fear, can rapidly become destructive.
Sanjaya reports to Dhritarashtra that, on Duryodhana’s order, the Kaurava battle formations collectively charge toward Bhima, while both sides raise terrifying war-cries, intensifying the clash around Bhimasena.
