तांश्वातिभग्नान् सम्प्रेक्ष्य पुत्रो द:ःशासनस्तव । पाषाणयोधिन: शूरान् पर्वतीयानचोदयत्,इतनेपर भी उन्हें चोर-जोरसे भागते देख आपके पुत्र दुःशासनने पत्थरोंद्वारा युद्ध करनेवाले शूरवीर पर्वतीयोंको आज्ञा दी--
tāñ śvātibhagnān samprekṣya putro duḥśāsanas tava | pāṣāṇayodhinaḥ śūrān parvatīyān acodayat ||
三阇耶说道:见那些战士彻底溃散、乱作一团而奔逃,你的儿子杜赫沙萨那便催动山地战士——以投石作战的勇士——命他们加紧进攻,向前压迫。
संजय उवाच
The verse highlights a recurring ethical tension in the epic: when defeat and panic spread, leaders may respond by inciting further violence rather than seeking restraint or right conduct. It implicitly warns how attachment to victory and anger can push commanders toward escalation, often at the cost of dharma.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that the Kaurava side has been badly shaken and is fleeing. Seeing this, Duḥśāsana orders/urges the mountain warriors—fighters known for using stones—to engage and counter the rout.
