Adhyāya 108 — Nimitta-darśana and Drona’s counsel amid Arjuna’s advance (निमित्तदर्शनं द्रोणोपदेशश्च)
तदापतद् वै सहसा शल्यस्य सुमहद् बलम्,उस समय सहसा अपनी ओर आती हुई राजा शल्यकी उस विशाल वाहिनी तथा स्वयं मद्रराजको भी पाण्डुपुत्र महारथी धर्मराज युधिष्ठिरने महान् जल-प्रवाहके समान समरभूमिमें रोक दिया
tadāpatad vai sahasā śalyasya sumahad balam |
三阇耶说道：就在那一刻，沙利耶王那支雄伟大军忽然齐涌而进，却被般度之子、伟大的车战勇士法王优提施提罗在战场上拦住，仿佛以沉着之力遏止滔天洪流。
