भीष्मपर्व — अध्याय ६६: तुमुलसंग्रामवर्णनम्
The Tumult of Battle Described
द्रौपदेयाइभिमन्युश्न शिखण्डी चापराजित: । न प्राजहन् भीमसेनं भये जाते महाबलम्
drauṇḍeyā abhimanyuś ca śikhaṇḍī cāparājitaḥ | na prājahur bhīmasenaṁ bhaye jāte mahābalam ||
三阇耶说道：当那巨大的可怖之惧骤然升起时，德里什塔丢姆那没有离开毗摩塞那；德劳帕蒂的五子没有离开；阿毗曼纽没有离开；那位不败的英雄尸佉ṇḍī也没有离开这位大力的毗摩塞那。

Sañjaya reports that during a terrifying phase of battle, Bhīma’s close allies—Dhṛṣṭadyumna, the Draupadeyas, Abhimanyu, and Śikhaṇḍī—did not leave him; they remained with him despite the fear and turmoil.
