Vaiśampāyana nói: Những dũng sĩ trẻ tuổi lừng danh khắp thế gian—dũng mãnh như sư tử, dữ dằn nơi chiến địa—đi sát quanh, hộ vệ chiến xa của Śauri (Śrī Kṛṣṇa), quyết dùng uy lực mình mà thiêu đốt quân thù.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights disciplined guardianship and coordinated strength: capable warriors place themselves around the leader’s chariot, showing that valor is most effective when guided by duty, order, and protective responsibility rather than mere aggression.
A group of famed youthful heroes proceeds while encircling Kṛṣṇa’s chariot, acting as an armed escort. The narration emphasizes their reputation, lion-like prowess, and readiness to strike down opponents as the events of the Udyoga Parva move toward open conflict.
