Adhyāya 14: Śalya’s Missile-Pressure and the Pāṇḍava Convergence (शल्यस्य शरवर्षम्)
यादृशं तत्र पार्थस्य तावका: सम्प्रचक्रिरे राजन! वहाँ आपके योद्धाओंने अर्जुनकी जैसी अवस्था कर दी थी, वैसी पहले कभी न तो देखी गयी और न सुनी ही गयी थी
yādṛśaṁ tatra pārthasya tāvakāḥ sampracakrire rājan, tathā pūrvaṁ kadācid api na dṛṣṭaṁ na śrutaṁ ca
ସଞ୍ଜୟ କହିଲେ—ରାଜନ୍! ସେଠାରେ ଆପଣଙ୍କ ଯୋଦ୍ଧାମାନେ ପାର୍ଥ (ଅର୍ଜୁନ)ଙ୍କୁ ଯେପରି ଅବସ୍ଥାକୁ ନେଇଥିଲେ, ସେପରି ଆଗରୁ କେବେ ଦେଖାଯାଇନଥିଲା, ଶୁଣାଯାଇନଥିଲା ମଧ୍ୟ।
