धृष्टदय्युम्न॑ ततो विद्ध्वा ननाद सुमहाबल:
dhṛṣṭadyumnam tato viddhvā nanāda sumahābalaḥ
Sañjaya berkata: Setelah menimpa Dhr̥ṣṭadyumna, pahlawan yang amat perkasa itu mengaum dengan dahsyat—teriakan kemenangan untuk mengisytiharkan keperwiraan, membangkitkan semangat sekutu, dan menggentarkan musuh di tengah tekanan moral pertempuran.

The verse highlights the kṣatriya battlefield ethos: after a successful strike, a warrior’s roar functions as a declaration of courage and dominance, shaping morale and fear. Ethically, it reflects how martial duty in the epic often intertwines physical action with psychological assertion.
Sañjaya reports that Dhr̥ṣṭadyumna has been hit by a very powerful warrior, who then roars loudly—signaling triumph and intensifying the combat atmosphere.
