युधिष्ठिरस्य धनंजय-प्रति गर्हा
Yudhiṣṭhira’s Reproach to Dhanaṃjaya
पुत्राणां ते महासैन्यमासीद् राजन् पराड्मुखम् | राजन्! उन आक्रमणकारी वीरोंके असह् वेगको देखकर आपके पुत्रोंकी विशाल सेना युद्धसे विमुख होकर भाग चली
sañjaya uvāca | putrāṇāṃ te mahāsainyam āsīd rājan parāṅmukham | rājan, tān ākramaṇakārī-vīrāṇām asahya-vegaṃ dṛṣṭvā tava putrāṇāṃ viśālā senā yuddhāt vimukhībhūya palāyitā |
Wika ni Sañjaya: O Hari, ang napakalaking hukbo ng iyong mga anak ay tumalikod. Nang makita nila ang di-matiis na bugso ng mga bayani na sumasalakay, nawalan ng loob ang malaking hukbo ng iyong mga anak, tumalikod sa labanan, at nagsitakas.

Educational Q&A
Numerical strength alone does not sustain a cause; when resolve collapses, an army can break. The verse highlights the ethical and practical importance of steadiness (dhairya) and leadership in upholding kshatriya-duty under pressure.
Sanjaya reports to Dhritarashtra that the Kaurava forces, seeing the fierce and irresistible charge of the attacking heroes, turned away from the fight and fled, indicating a sudden rout driven by fear and loss of morale.
