पत्तिमच्छूरवीरौघं द्रुतमर्जुनमार्दयत् | संशप्तकोंकी सेनामें पैदल मनुष्यों और घुड़सवारोंकी संख्या बहुत अधिक थी। मतवाले हाथी और रथ भी भरे हुए थे। पैदलोंसहित शूरवीरोंके उस समुदायने तुरंत ही अर्जुनको पीड़ा देना आरम्भ किया

三阇耶说道：一支密集的步兵与勇士之众迅速逼压阿周那，开始对他纠缠骚扰。三誓军的兵力浩大——步卒与骑兵拥塞其间，又有狂暴战象与战车充斥——于是整片战士洪流连同步兵，立刻在战场上使阿周那备受困扰。

The verse highlights the pressure and intensity of righteous warfare (kṣatriya-dharma): even a foremost warrior like Arjuna must endure coordinated assaults. Ethically, it underscores steadfastness and composure under overwhelming force, a recurring Mahābhārata ideal for those bound to duty in conflict.
Sañjaya reports that a large, tightly packed formation—especially the Saṃśaptakas—rushes Arjuna. With abundant infantry and cavalry, and with elephants and chariots filling the field, they collectively begin to press and trouble him immediately in battle.
