สัญชัยกล่าวว่า—ครั้นเห็นรถศึกของยุยุธาน กองทหารของท่านก็กรูกันเข้าหาเขา ก่อเสียงคำรามแห่งลูกศรปนกับเสียงสังข์กึกก้อง แล้วก็เกิดความอื้ออึงใหญ่พุ่งตรงไปยังรถของยุยุธาน เมื่อกองทัพของโอรสท่านโถมเข้าใส่ กดดันและล้อมรุกเข้ามา

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how collective aggression and fear can rapidly escalate conflict: the troops, stirred by the sight of a formidable warrior, respond with overwhelming force and noise. Ethically, it underscores the momentum of war—once unleashed, it tends to intensify beyond individual restraint, pressing participants into ever-greater violence.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that the Kaurava soldiers, seeing Yuyudhāna (Sātyaki) on his chariot, rush to attack him. Their charge is accompanied by the twang and roar of arrows mixed with conch blasts, creating a great tumult as Duryodhana’s army closes in toward Yuyudhāna’s chariot.
