သဉ္ဇယက ပြောသည်– «အို ဘာရတ၊ သူသည် အားလုံးကို လှုံ့ဆော်ကာ ‘သူ့ကို ခုတ်ချလိုက်!’ ဟု အော်ဟစ်၍ စစ်သည်တို့ကို ဆုံးဖြတ်ချက်တစ်ချက်သို့ တိုက်တွန်းခဲ့၏»။

The verse highlights how, in war, speech becomes an instrument of action: urging others to violence can shift responsibility and intensify adharma-like impulses, even when framed as battlefield necessity. It invites reflection on accountability for incitement and the ethical weight of commands.
Sañjaya reports that a leader (implied by context) is rallying all the fighters, exhorting them with the command “Kill him!” The line functions as a brief, urgent battlefield cue within the larger Drona-parvan combat narration addressed to Dhṛtarāṣṭra.
