Adhyāya 111 (Book 6): Daśama-dina-saṃgrāma—Bhīṣma’s Counsel to Yudhiṣṭhira and the Śikhaṇḍin-Led Advance
एवं व्यूह्ू महासैन्यं पाण्डवास्तव वाहिनीम् | अभ्यद्रवन्त संग्रामे त्यक्त्वा जीवितमात्मन:
evaṁ vyūhya mahāsainyaṁ pāṇḍavās tava vāhinīm | abhyadravanta saṅgrāme tyaktvā jīvitam ātmanaḥ ||
三阇耶说道：于是，般度五子将浩大的军势布成战阵，在鏖战之中舍却对自身性命的执著，向陛下的军队猛然冲击。
