သဉ္ဇယက ပြောသည်– စစ်ပွဲ၏ အလယ်ဗဟို၌ ပाण्डဝတို့၏ စစ်တန်းများသည် တိုက်ခိုက်ဖျက်ဆီးခံနေရ၏။ ထို့နောက် ဂာဍိ၏ သား ဆွေတကို သင်၏ သား၏ စစ်တပ်အပေါ် လွှတ်တင်၍ သူတို့သည် တိုက်ပွဲကို ဆက်လက်တိုးမြှင့်ခဲ့ကြသဖြင့် ကౌရဝတပ်တွင်း၌ သတ်ဖြတ်မှုနှင့် ပြိုကွဲမှုသည် ပျံ့နှံ့သွားလေ၏။

Educational Q&A
Even within kṣatriya-dharma, war is shown as a realm where strategy and momentum decide outcomes, yet the narration keeps the ethical gravity visible: armies are ‘being slain’ as a consequence of choices and leadership, reminding the listener that victory is purchased through suffering.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that the Pāṇḍava battle-divisions are being heavily attacked in the fight; in response, they deploy the warrior Śveta (called Gāḍeya) against Duryodhana’s forces, intensifying the clash and contributing to the Kaurava army’s distress.
