भीष्मस्य मण्डलव्यूहः — Bhīṣma’s Maṇḍala Battle-Formation and the Opening Engagements
पाण्डवानां कुरूणां च परस्परसमागमे । ते सेने भृशसंविग्ने ययतु: स्व॑ं निवेशनम्,पाण्डवों और कौरवोंके पारस्परिक संघर्षमें दोनों ही सेनाएँ अत्यन्त उद्विग्न हो उठी थीं। अत: वे अपनी-अपनी छावनीको चली गयीं
pāṇḍavānāṃ kurūṇāṃ ca paraspara-samāgame | te sene bhṛśa-saṃvigne yayatuḥ svaṃ niveśanam ||
သဉ္ဇယက ပြောသည်– ပाण्डဝတို့နှင့် ကုရုတို့ အပြန်အလှန် တိုက်ခိုက်ကြရာတွင် စစ်တပ်နှစ်ဖက်လုံး အလွန်တရာ တုန်လှုပ်ကြောက်ရွံ့လာကြသဖြင့် မိမိတို့၏ စခန်းအသီးသီးသို့ ဆုတ်ခွာသွားကြ၏။

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the human and ethical strain of internecine war: when close kin clash, fear and agitation can overtake even great armies, making withdrawal and regrouping a necessary choice over reckless continuation.
After a direct encounter between the Pāṇḍava and Kuru forces, both sides become highly disturbed; consequently, the two armies disengage and return to their respective encampments.
