द्रौणिस्तु रभसः शूरस्त्रैगर्तादनु भारत | प्रययौँ सिंहनादेन नादयानो धरातलम्,भारत! त्रिगर्तके पीछे वेगशाली वीर अश्वत्थामा चल रहे थे, जो अपने सिंहनादसे समस्त धरातलको निनादित कर रहे थे

ହେ ଭାରତ! ତ୍ରିଗର୍ତ୍ତମାନଙ୍କ ପଛେ ଦ୍ରୋଣପୁତ୍ର ଅଶ୍ୱତ୍ଥାମା—ବେଗଶାଳୀ ଶୂର—ସିଂହନାଦ କରି ଅଗ୍ରସର ହେଲେ; ତାଙ୍କ ନାଦରେ ଧରାତଳ ଗୁଞ୍ଜିଉଠିଲା।

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores how martial zeal and aggressive display (the lion-roar that shakes the earth) can amplify the violence of war; it invites reflection on the ethical danger of uncontrolled rabhasa (impetuous fury) even in a kṣatriya context where valor is praised.
Sañjaya reports that Aśvatthāmā advances behind the Trigarta contingent, roaring loudly like a lion and making the ground resound, signaling an intensified push in the battle formation.
