प्राक्रोशन् भीमसेन ते धृष्टद्युम्नं च भारत । दृष्टवा द्रोणस्य कर्माणि तथारूपाणि मारिष,माननीय भरतनन्दन! वे द्रोणके वैसे पराक्रमको देखकर भीमसेन तथा धृष्टद्युम्नको पुकारने लगे

prākrośan bhīmasenaṃ te dhṛṣṭadyumnaṃ ca bhārata |
dṛṣṭvā droṇasya karmāṇi tathārūpāṇi mārisa ||
சஞ்சயன் கூறினான்—ஓ பாரதா! துரோணரின் அத்தகைய அச்சமூட்டும், வல்லமைமிக்க செயல்களைப் பார்த்த அவர்கள் அலறி, பீமசேனனையும் த்ருஷ்டத்யும்னனையும் அழைக்கத் தொடங்கினர்।

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how overwhelming power on the battlefield creates moral and strategic urgency: when a great warrior’s actions become devastating, leaders and soldiers instinctively seek those best suited—by strength (Bhīma) and by destined role/command (Dhṛṣṭadyumna)—to restore balance and uphold their side’s duty in war.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that, after witnessing Droṇa’s formidable martial actions, the warriors (implied from context) raise loud cries and urgently call for Bhīmasena and Dhṛṣṭadyumna, signaling a moment of alarm and the need to counter Droṇa’s onslaught.
