Mahabharata 7.188.57 — Drona Parva, Adhyaya 188, Shloka 57
आससादरणे द्रोणं तदा55सीत् तुमुलं महत् । इसी प्रकार पांचालराजकुमार धृष्टद्युम्नने भी आपकी विशाल सेनामें घुसकर रणभूमिमें द्रोणाचार्यपर चढ़ाई की। उस समय बड़ा भयंकर युद्ध होने लगा ।।
āsasāda raṇe droṇaṃ tadā āsīt tumulaṃ mahat | naiva nas tādṛśaṃ yuddhaṃ dṛṣṭapūrvaṃ na ca śrutam ||
Bhīmasena nói: “Rồi trên chiến địa, chàng xông thẳng vào Droṇa; ngay lúc ấy, một cuộc giao tranh lớn lao và cuồng loạn bùng lên. Chưa bao giờ chúng ta từng thấy, hay thậm chí từng nghe, một trận chiến như thế.”

The verse highlights the ethical gravity of war: even seasoned warriors recognize when conflict becomes unprecedented in ferocity, reminding the listener that dharma in battle can be overshadowed by escalating violence and its moral cost.
Bhīmasena reports that a direct assault was made upon Droṇa on the battlefield, triggering a massive, chaotic engagement—so extraordinary that the warriors claim they had neither seen nor heard of anything comparable.
