Droṇa’s Rebuke to Duryodhana after Jayadratha’s Fall (द्रोणेन दुर्योधनं प्रति प्रत्युक्तिः)
संरब्धानां प्रवीराणां समरे दृढकर्मणाम् | तत्रासीत् सुमहाशब्दस्तुमुलो लोमहर्षण:,वे सभी प्रमुख वीर रोषावेशसे परिपूर्ण हो समरभूमिमें सुदृढ़ पराक्रम कर दिखानेवाले थे। वहाँ उन सबका महान् एवं तुमुल कोलाहल रोंगटे खड़े कर देनेवाला था
saṃrabdhānāṃ pravīrāṇāṃ samare dṛḍhakarmaṇām | tatrāsīt sumahāśabdas tumulo lomaharṣaṇaḥ ||
Sañjaya berkata: Ketika para wira terkemuka, menyala oleh amarah dan teguh dalam tindakan, mara dalam pertempuran, maka bangkitlah di situ suatu hiruk-pikuk yang amat besar—memekakkan dan bergelora—hingga membuat bulu roma berdiri. Rangkap ini menegaskan bahawa apabila amarah dan tekad perang dilepaskan serentak, keganasan serta ketakutan psikologi perang menjadi berlipat ganda.

The verse highlights the moral-psychological dimension of war: when warriors are driven by anger yet remain resolute in action, the battlefield becomes not only physically violent but also mentally overwhelming—creating fear and shock that spreads beyond the immediate combatants.
Sañjaya describes the scene as the leading warriors, filled with rage and determined to display firm valor, clash in combat; their collective shouting, weapon-noise, and commotion swell into a massive, terrifying din.
