Shloka 17
महता रथघोषेण पाण्डव: सत्यविक्रम: । अभ्ययादप्रमेयात्मा निर्जयंस्तव वाहिनीम्,सत्यपराक्रमी पाण्डव अर्जुन अप्रमेय आत्मबलसे सम्पन्न थे। वे महान् रथघोषके द्वारा आपकी सेनाको परास्त करते हुए आगे बढ़े
mahatā rathaghoṣeṇa pāṇḍavaḥ satyavikramaḥ | abhyayād aprameyātmā nirjayan tava vāhinīm ||
Dengan deru menggelegar kereta perangnya, Arjuna—Pāṇḍava yang keberaniannya tidak pernah luntur—maju ke hadapan. Berjiwa dan bertenaga yang tiada terukur, dia terus mendesak, menewaskan dan menundukkan bala tentera tuan; keperkasaannya membuktikan kesetiaan pada janji dan tujuan di tengah tuntutan keras perang dharma yang benar.

The verse highlights kṣatriya resolve in dharma-yuddha: steadfast courage and disciplined advance against overwhelming opposition, where true valor (satya-vikrama) is shown through purposeful action rather than mere aggression.
Arjuna, identified as the Pāṇḍava, moves forward on the battlefield with the loud rumble of his chariot, actively defeating and pushing back the opposing (Kaurava) forces.
