Bhīṣma’s Fall, the Arrow-bed (śara-talpa), and the Establishment of Guard
हाहाकिलकिलाशब्दा: श्रूयन्ते च चमूमुखे । याहि पाञ्चालदायादमहं यास्ये युधिछ्िरम्
hāhākilakilāśabdāḥ śrūyante ca camūmukhe | yāhi pāñcāladāyāda ahaṃ yāsye yudhiṣṭhiram ||
Sinabi ni Sañjaya: “Naririnig sa unahan ng hukbo ang mga sigaw na ‘hā hā!’ at ang matinis na kaguluhan. Humayo ka, O tagapagmana ng Pāñcāla; ako’y pupunta kay Yudhiṣṭhira.”

Educational Q&A
Even amid the moral confusion of war, one must respond to crisis with disciplined duty: investigate the disturbance, communicate clearly, and coordinate action with rightful leadership rather than acting blindly.
Sañjaya reports that alarming cries and uproar are heard at the army’s front. He instructs a Pāñcāla heir to go toward the disturbance, while he himself goes to inform or meet Yudhiṣṭhira.
