Śalya-parva Adhyāya 26 — Duryodhana’s remnant formation and rapid engagements
जयत्सेन: सुजातश्च तथा दुर्विषहोडरिहा । दुर्विमोचननामा च दुष्प्रधर्षस्तथैव च
jayatsenaḥ sujātaś ca tathā durviṣaho ḍarihā | durvimocananāmā ca duṣpradharṣas tathaiva ca
Sanjaya berkata: “Jayatsena, Sujāta, Durviṣaha, Ḍarihā, seorang bernama Durvimocana, dan demikian juga Duṣpradharṣa”—demikianlah dia meneruskan senarai para pahlawan dalam Shalya Parva, menegaskan bahawa perang menarik masuk ramai pejuang bernama, dan keberanian tiap seorang tetap dihitung walau pertikaian besar itu meluncur tanpa dapat dielakkan menuju kebinasaan.

The verse functions as a sober reminder of the war’s vast human scope: many individuals—each with a name and reputation—are drawn into adharma-driven conflict, where personal prowess is recorded even as the collective outcome is ruin.
Sañjaya continues enumerating warriors present in the Shalya Parva’s battle context, listing several fighters by name as part of a larger roll-call describing the forces engaged.
