Shloka 53
नाज्ञायत ततः किंचित् पुनरेव विशाम्पते । प्रवृत्ते तुमुले युद्धे द्रोणपाण्डवरयोर्मुथे,प्रजानाथ! रणभूमिमें द्रोणाचार्य और अर्जुनमें घमासान युद्ध छिड़ जानेपर फिर किसीको कुछ सूझ नहीं रहा था
sañjaya uvāca | nājñāyata tataḥ kiñcit punar eva viśāmpate | pravṛtte tumule yuddhe droṇa-pāṇḍavayor mṛdhe prajānātha |
नाज्ञायत ततः किंचित् पुनरेव विशाम्पते । प्रवृत्ते तुमुले युद्धे द्रोणपाण्डवरयोर्मृधे ॥

The verse underscores how, once violence escalates into a full-scale clash, clarity and discernment collapse; war generates confusion that obscures truth and makes ethical judgment difficult, even for observers.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that a fierce, tumultuous duel has broken out between Droṇa and the Pāṇḍava side (specifically Arjuna), and the battlefield has become so chaotic that nothing can be clearly made out.
