Abhimanyu’s assault; Alambusa’s counter-engagement
रथिनो रथिभश्रि: सार्ध कुलपुत्रास्तनुत्यज: । परां शक्ति समास्थाय चक्कु: कर्माण्यभीतवत्
rathino rathibhaśriḥ sārdhaṃ kulaputrās tanutyajāḥ | parāṃ śaktiṃ samāsthāya cakruḥ karmāṇy abhītavat ||
Wika ni Sañjaya: Ang mga mandirigmang nasa karwahe, maningning sa dangal ng pakikidigma, kasama ang mga kabataang maharlika na handang ialay ang sariling katawan, ay tumindig sa sukdulang paninindigan at ginampanan ang tungkulin nang walang takot.

Educational Q&A
That steadfastness in one’s duty (karma) requires inner strength and fearlessness; true valor is disciplined resolve—acting without panic even when life may be sacrificed.
Sañjaya describes the warriors on the battlefield: chariot-fighters and noble youths, prepared to give up their lives, take up supreme resolve and proceed to perform their martial tasks without fear.
