Adhyāya 108 — Nimitta-darśana and Drona’s counsel amid Arjuna’s advance (निमित्तदर्शनं द्रोणोपदेशश्च)
पाण्डवाश्व महाराज जित्वा शत्रून् महामृथे
pāṇḍavāśva mahārāja jitvā śatrūn mahāmṛdhe
سنجے نے کہا—اے مہاراج! اُس عظیم معرکۂ جنگ میں دشمنوں کو فتح کرکے (پانڈوؤں کا گھوڑا…)۔
संजय उवाच

The line foregrounds the epic’s war-ethos: victory in battle is presented as a concrete outcome of kṣatriya action, while Sañjaya’s role frames events as moral-political reportage to the king, reminding the listener that consequences in war arise from resolve, strategy, and dharma-bound duty.
Sañjaya addresses the king and begins describing a battlefield moment: in a great fight, the Pāṇḍava side’s horse (or a Pāṇḍava’s horse) is said to have ‘conquered the enemies,’ introducing or continuing a report of combat success.
