कर्णवधार्थं धनञ्जयस्य प्रतिज्ञा — Arjuna’s resolve for Karṇa’s defeat
ननाद सुमहानादं भीषयाणो जगर्ज च । मान्यवर! तदनन्तर दूसरे भललसे उनकी ध्वजाको बींध डाला। राजन! उस समय विश्वकर्माका बनाया हुआ वह महान् वानर सबको भयभीत करता हुआ बड़े जोर-जोरसे गर्जना करने लगा
sañjaya uvāca | nanāda sumahānādaṃ bhīṣayāṇo jagarja ca |
三阇耶说道：他发出震天巨吼，令四方胆寒，又如雷霆般一再咆哮。随后，又以一支锐箭洞穿其旗幡；就在那一刻，那由毗湿瓦羯磨所造的伟大猿猴徽记，随着雄浑的怒吼，使众人尽皆惊惧。

Educational Q&A
Even amid warfare, the epic highlights how fear and morale are shaped not only by weapons but by symbols and sound—roars, standards, and emblems become instruments that test steadiness (dhairya) and the warrior’s discipline under terror.
Sanjaya describes a moment on the battlefield where a combatant’s tremendous roar terrifies the troops; then a banner is pierced by a sharp arrow, and the great monkey-emblem—said to be crafted by Viśvakarman—appears fearsome as it roars, intensifying the atmosphere of dread and martial spectacle.
