Devanagari script

पार्श्वतो5भ्यहनत्‌ क्रुद्धो धृष्टद्युम्नस्प वाहिनीम्‌ । उन सबके चले जानेपर सुबलपुत्र शकुनि पुनः कुपित हो पार्श्रभागसे आकर धृष्टद्यम्मकी सेनाका संहार करने लगा

Transliteration

pārśvato 'bhyahanat kruddho dhṛṣṭadyumnas tu vāhinīm |

Translation

Sañjaya disse: Enfurecido, Dhṛṣṭadyumna golpeou o exército adversário pelo flanco, abrindo caminho com um ataque lateral varrente que rasgou as fileiras. No ímpeto brutal da guerra, a fúria tática substitui a contenção, e o campo de batalha torna-se prova de comando, coragem e dos limites da retidão em meio ao morticínio.
