Garuḍa Array and the Ardhacandra Counter-Formation
प्रहर्ष पाण्डवा जग्मु: पुत्रस्ते विमना5भवत् | तदनन्तर पितामह भीष्मको श्वैतके द्वारा युद्धसे विमुख किया हुआ देख समस्त पाण्डवोंको बड़ा हर्ष हुआ; परंतु आपके पुत्र दुर्योधनका मन उदास हो गया | ४४ ई ।।
sañjaya uvāca | praharṣaṃ pāṇḍavā jagmuḥ putras te vimanābhavat | tato duryodhanaḥ kruddhaḥ pārthivaiḥ parivāritaḥ |
Sinabi ni Sañjaya: “Napuno ng galak ang mga Pāṇḍava, samantalang ang iyong anak ay nanlumo. Pagkaraan, si Duryodhana, nagngangalit at napaliligiran ng mga hari, ay tumugon sa poot—nasugatan ang kanyang pagmamataas habang ang agos ng labanan ay bumaling laban sa kanyang panig. Ipinakikita ng siping ito kung paanong ang tagumpay at kabiguan sa digmaan ay mabilis na nagpapaliyab ng tuwa, panghihina ng loob, at galit, sinusubok ang katatagan at paghatol sa gitna ng mga hinihingi ng dharma.”

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores how quickly the mind swings between elation and despair in war, and how wounded pride can harden into anger. Ethically, it points to the need for steadiness (self-mastery) and discernment, since reactive emotions can drive leaders toward further adharma and escalation.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that the Pāṇḍava side becomes joyful at a favorable turn, while Duryodhana grows dejected. Immediately afterward, Duryodhana, surrounded by allied kings, becomes angry—setting up his next response or command in the battle narrative.
