Adhyāya 10: Śrutakarmā’s Engagements; Prativindhya–Citra Duel; Drauṇi Advances toward Bhīma
लोकप्रवीरा ये5स्माकं॑ देवकल्पा महारथा:,“हमारे पक्षमें जो देवताओंके समान पराक्रमी, विश्व-विख्यात महारथी वीर, नीतिमान्, साधनसम्पन्न, दक्ष और स्वामीके प्रति अनुरक्त थे, वे सब-के-सब मारे गये, तथापि हमें अपनी विजयके प्रति निराश नहीं होना चाहिये
sañjaya uvāca | loka-pravīrā ye ’smākaṃ deva-kalpā mahā-rathāḥ … te sarve sarveṇa hatāḥ, tathāpi na asmābhiḥ sva-vijaye nirāśā bhavitavyā |
三阇耶说道：“我方那些举世称雄的英雄——伟大的车战勇士，勇力如天神，名闻四方，行事谨慎，资具完备，办事干练，且忠于其主——都已尽数战死。即便如此，我们也不应对自身的胜利陷入绝望。”

Educational Q&A
Even after catastrophic losses of renowned and capable allies, one should not abandon resolve; leadership requires steadiness of mind and refusal to collapse into despair, especially in a dharmic-ethical frame where courage and duty are emphasized.
Sañjaya reports to the Kaurava side that many of their celebrated, godlike great warriors—known for prudence, resources, skill, and loyalty—have been killed, yet he urges that they should not become hopeless about achieving victory.
