Shloka 35
अभ्यधावन्त वेगेन ततो युद्धमवर्तत,राजन! इसी प्रकार भीष्म, द्रोण आदि कौरव योद्धा भी बड़े वेगसे पाण्डव-सेनापर टूट पड़े; फिर तो दोनों दलोंमें भयंकर युद्ध होने लगा
abhyadhāvanta vegena tato yuddham avartata, rājan! īsī prakāra bhīṣma, droṇa ādi kaurava yoddhā bhī baṛe vegase pāṇḍava-senāpar ṭūṭ paṛe; phir to donoṃ dalom̐ meṃ bhayaṅkara yuddha hone lagā
Sinabi ni Sañjaya: “Pagkaraan, sumugod sila nang ubod ng bilis, at ganap nang nagtagpo ang labanan, O Hari. Gayundin, sina Bhīṣma, Droṇa, at ang iba pang mandirigmang Kaurava ay rumagasa nang napakalakas laban sa hukbong Pāṇḍava; at di naglaon, sumiklab ang isang kakila-kilabot na sagupaan sa pagitan ng dalawang hukbo.”

The verse underscores the inexorable momentum of war once leaders commit their forces: personal prowess and command decisions rapidly draw entire armies into a fearful clash, highlighting the grave ethical weight borne by rulers and commanders.
Sañjaya reports to King Dhṛtarāṣṭra that both sides surge forward; Bhīṣma, Droṇa, and other Kaurava champions rush upon the Pāṇḍava host, and a terrifying battle breaks out between the two armies.
