त॑ तथा शरवर्षेण क्षोभयन्तमरिन्दमम् । यथा प्रधाना: सौभद्रमभ्ययू रथसत्तमा:,इस प्रकार बाणोंकी वर्षासे कौरवसेनामें हलचल मचाते हुए शत्रुदमन सुभद्राकुमारपर आपकी सेनाके प्रधान-प्रधान महारथियोंने एक साथ आक्रमण किया
taṁ tathā śaravarṣeṇa kṣobhayantam arindamam | yathā pradhānāḥ saubhadram abhyayū rathasattamāḥ ||
ଶତ୍ରୁଦମନ (ଅଭିମନ୍ୟୁ) ବାଣବୃଷ୍ଟିରେ କୌରବସେନାକୁ ଅସ୍ଥିର କରୁଥିବାବେଳେ, ତୁମ ସେନାର ଅଗ୍ରଗଣ୍ୟ ମହାରଥୀ—ଶ୍ରେଷ୍ଠ ରଥଯୋଦ୍ଧାମାନେ—ଏକାସାଥିରେ ସୌଭଦ୍ରଙ୍କୁ ଆକ୍ରମଣ କରିବାକୁ ଆଗେଇ ଆସିଲେ।

The verse highlights the dharmic tension of war: extraordinary valor can force an opposing side into collective, overwhelming response. It invites reflection on proportionality and fairness in combat versus the strategic imperative to protect an army from a single devastating warrior.
Abhimanyu (Saubhadra) is shaking the Kaurava ranks with a fierce barrage of arrows. In response, the leading chariot-warriors of the Kaurava side move together to attack and restrain him.
