Śalya-parva Adhyāya 26 — Duryodhana’s remnant formation and rapid engagements
जयत्सेन: सुजातश्च तथा दुर्विषहोडरिहा । दुर्विमोचननामा च दुष्प्रधर्षस्तथैव च
jayatsenaḥ sujātaś ca tathā durviṣaho ḍarihā | durvimocananāmā ca duṣpradharṣas tathaiva ca
Sinabi ni Sanjaya: “Jayatsena, Sujāta, Durviṣaha, Ḍarihā, ang isa’y nagngangalang Durvimocana, at gayundin si Duṣpradharṣa”—sa gayon ay ipinagpapatuloy niya ang pagtawag sa mga mandirigma sa Shalya Parva, ipinakikitang maraming may pangalang manlalaban ang hinihigop ng digmaan, at ang tapang ng bawat isa’y binibilang kahit ang malaking tunggalian ay di-mapipigilang tumutungo sa pagkapuksa.

The verse functions as a sober reminder of the war’s vast human scope: many individuals—each with a name and reputation—are drawn into adharma-driven conflict, where personal prowess is recorded even as the collective outcome is ruin.
Sañjaya continues enumerating warriors present in the Shalya Parva’s battle context, listing several fighters by name as part of a larger roll-call describing the forces engaged.
