अभिमन्यु–अलम्बुसयुद्धम् / The Duel of Abhimanyu and Alambusa
with Arjuna’s approach to Bhīṣma
घटोत्कचेन सहिता: सिंहनादान् प्रचक्रिरे । वे इतने डर गये थे कि हम दोनोंकी बातोंपर विश्वास नहीं करते थे। उन्हें भागते देख विजयी पाण्डव घटोत्कचके साथ सिंहनाद करने लगे
ghaṭotkacena sahitāḥ siṃhanādān pracakrire |
桑阇耶说：他们与伽托迦遮并肩，发出凯旋的狮子吼。敌军惊惧至极，竟连眼见耳闻都不再相信；见其溃逃，得胜的般度诸子与伽托迦遮同声长啸，轰然宣告胜利——此乃战场之上士气与心理威势的写照，亦映照战争伦理中的震慑之力。

Educational Q&A
The passage highlights how courage and unity can decisively shape a battle’s outcome: victory is not only physical but also psychological, as fear can break an army’s confidence, while disciplined triumph (expressed as a siṃhanāda) strengthens one’s side.
Sañjaya reports that the Pāṇḍavas, accompanied by Ghaṭotkaca, raise loud victory-cries; the enemy, overwhelmed by fear and confusion, begins to flee, and the victors respond with further triumphant roars.
