Wika ni Sañjaya: “O Hari, ang pinunong Pāñcāla na si Dhṛṣṭadyumna, si Sātyaki, at ang dalawang anak ni Mādrī sa hanay ng Pāṇḍava (Nakula at Sahadeva) ay sumalakay at pumaligid mula sa lahat ng panig sa mga bayaning pinangungunahan ni Śakuni.”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights coordinated action and steadfastness in a righteous cause: allies act together, surrounding a dangerous opponent (Śakuni’s group). Ethically, it reflects the kṣatriya obligation to confront adharma-supporting forces with courage and disciplined strategy rather than isolated impulse.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Dhṛṣṭadyumna, Sātyaki, and the twin Pāṇḍavas (Nakula and Sahadeva) engage the warriors led by Śakuni, attacking them from all directions as the battle intensifies.
