Vāsudeva-Māhātmya: Duryodhana’s Inquiry and Bhīṣma’s Theological Account of Keśava
अभज्यत महाराज न च द्वौ सह धावत: । महाराज! महेन्द्रके समान पराक्रमी भीष्मकी मार खाकर वह विशाल सेना इस प्रकार तितर-बितर हुई कि उसके दो-दो सैनिक भी एक साथ नहीं भाग सकते थे
abhajyata mahārāja na ca dvau saha dhāvataḥ |
三阇耶说道：大王啊，那支军队已被击得粉碎；溃逃之时，竟连两人也不能并肩而走。遭毗湿摩重创——其勇力如摩诃因陀罗（因陀罗）——大军在惊惶中四散崩离，各自只顾求生；战阵之中的道义秩序，在压倒性的力量下让位于恐惧。

The verse highlights how overwhelming valor and disciplined force can collapse an army’s cohesion: when courage and order fail, even comrades cannot remain united. Ethically, it underscores the fragility of collective resolve in war and the responsibility of leaders and warriors to uphold steadiness (dhairya) and duty (dharma) amid terror.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Bhīṣma, compared in might to Indra, has struck the opposing forces so powerfully that the great army breaks and scatters. The rout is so complete that soldiers cannot even flee in pairs; they disperse individually in panic.
