Sauptika Parva, Adhyaya 8 — Dhṛṣṭadyumna-vadha and the Camp’s Nocturnal Rout
ते दृष्टवा धर्षयन्तं तमतिमानुषविक्रमम्
te dṛṣṭvā dharṣayantaṃ tam atimānuṣa-vikramam
သူတို့သည် လူသားထက်လွန်ကဲသော စွမ်းအားဖြင့် ရဲရဲဝံ့ဝံ့ ဖိအားပေးကာ တိုးဝင်လာသူကို မြင်ကြ၍—သူ၏ တိုက်ခိုက်မှုအရှိန်အဟုန် ကြောက်မက်ဖွယ်ကို သတိပြုမိကြလေ၏။

Sañjaya describes onlookers witnessing a warrior’s fierce onslaught—an attacker whose valor seems beyond human—setting the tone of dread and imbalance that characterizes the Sauptika episode’s night-time violence.
