Abhimanyu’s assault; Alambusa’s counter-engagement
युध्यते राक्षसो नून॑ धार्तराष्ट्रमहारथै: । यथास्य श्रूयते शब्दो नदतो भैरवं स्वनम्
yudhyate rākṣaso nūnaṃ dhārtarāṣṭra-mahārathaiḥ | yathāsya śrūyate śabdo nadato bhairavaṃ svanam ||
သဉ္ဇယက ပြောသည်။ «ဤ ရာက္ခသသည် ဓာရတရာရှ္ဋရတို့၏ မဟာရထိများနှင့် အမှန်တကယ် တိုက်ခိုက်နေသည်။ ၎င်း၏ ကြောက်မက်ဖွယ် ဟိန်းဟောက်သံကို ကြားရသဖြင့် ပြင်းထန်သော စစ်ပွဲတစ်ရပ် ဖြစ်ပွားနေကြောင်း ထင်ရှားသည်»။

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how the moral and psychological dimension of war is conveyed through sound and presence: a warrior’s terrifying roar can signal intensity, unsettle opponents, and shape the battlefield’s morale, reminding readers that conflict affects minds as much as bodies.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that a rākṣasa warrior—understood in context as Ghaṭotkaca—is actively battling the Kauravas’ foremost chariot-fighters, and his dreadful bellowing is audibly dominating the scene.
