The Exploits of Śaineya/Sātyaki amid Encirclement
तद् युद्धमभवत् तीव्र तुमुलं लोमहर्षणम् । कुरूणां पाण्डवानां च व्यूहस्य पुरतो5द्भधुतम्,व्यूहके द्वारपर होनेवाला कौरवों तथा पाण्डवोंका वह अद्भुत युद्ध अत्यन्त तीव्र एवं भयंकर था। उसे देखकर लोगोंके रोंगटे खड़े हो जाते थे
tad yuddham abhavat tīvraṃ tumulaṃ lomaharṣaṇam | kurūṇāṃ pāṇḍavānāṃ ca vyūhasya purato 'dbhūtam ||
ବ୍ୟୂହର ଦ୍ୱାର ସମ୍ମୁଖରେ କୁରୁ ଓ ପାଣ୍ଡବମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ହୋଇଥିବା ସେଇ ଯୁଦ୍ଧ ଅତ୍ୟନ୍ତ ତୀବ୍ର, ତୁମୁଳ ଓ ଲୋମହର୍ଷକ—ଅଦ୍ଭୁତ ଥିଲା। ତାହା ଦେଖିଲେ ଦର୍ଶକମାନଙ୍କର ରୋମାଞ୍ଚ ହେଉଥିଲା।

Sañjaya reports that an extraordinarily intense and chaotic clash erupts between the Kaurava and Pāṇḍava forces at the forefront of the battle formation, so fearsome that it shocks observers.
