Wika ni Vaiśampāyana: Pagkaraan, nang sila’y ganap nang nakasuot ng baluti at handa sa sandata, si Yajñasena (Drupada) at ang kanyang mga kapatid ay sabay-sabay na nagpaulan ng mga palaso at umatungal nang malakas, O hari.

The verse highlights the kṣatriya ethic of readiness and resolve: before battle, warriors must be disciplined, equipped, and united. The loud roar and arrow-volley function as a public declaration of intent, underscoring responsibility and courage in the face of conflict.
Drupada (Yajñasena) and his brothers put on armor and complete their battle preparations. They then begin the engagement by releasing volleys of arrows and raising a loud war-cry, indicating that hostilities are actively underway.
