भीष्मशिबिरगमनम् — Duryodhana’s Visit to Bhīṣma’s Camp and the Command Appeal
न सम पश्यामहे कंचित् प्राणान् यः परिरक्षति । संग्रामे दैत्यसंकाशे तस्मिन् वीरवरक्षये
na sama paśyāmahe kañcit prāṇān yaḥ parirakṣati | saṅgrāme daityasaṅkāśe tasmin vīravarakṣaye ||
三阇耶说道:“在那场战斗中,凶怖如群魔相撞,足以摧折最伟大的英雄;我们未见一人还想着护全自身性命。众人皆被驱赶着投入屠戮,在武士覆灭之际,宁择勇武与本分,而不顾自保。”

The verse highlights the ethos of the battlefield where warriors, bound by kṣatriya-dharma and honor, do not prioritize self-preservation; it underscores the tragic intensity of war in which even the greatest heroes rush toward death rather than retreat.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that the fighting has become so fierce—like a demonic onslaught—that he observes no combatant acting to save his own life; instead, the battle is characterized by wholesale destruction of eminent warriors.
