भीष्मपर्व — अध्याय ६६: तुमुलसंग्रामवर्णनम्
The Tumult of Battle Described
तस्मिन् सुतुमुले घोरे काले परमदारुणे । भ्रातरश्ैव पुत्राश्न धृष्टय्रुम्नश्व पार्षत:
tasmin sutumule ghore kāle paramadāruṇe | bhrātaraś caiva putrāś ca dhṛṣṭadyumnaś ca pārṣataḥ |
संजय म्हणाला—त्या अत्यंत गोंधळलेल्या, घोर व परम दारुण काळात त्यांच्या भावांनी, पुत्रांनी आणि पार्षत (द्रुपद)पुत्र धृष्टद्युम्नानेही महाबली भीमसेनाला सोडले नाही.

Educational Q&A
In the most frightening moments of conflict, dharma is expressed as steadfastness—standing by one’s kin and allies, not deserting a righteous cause or a comrade when fear is greatest.
Sañjaya describes a terrifying phase of the battle and emphasizes that Bhīma is not deserted: his brothers, his sons, and Dhṛṣṭadyumna (Drupada’s son) remain with him amid the chaos.
