Arjuna Breaks the Encirclement; Bhīma Reinforces
अभिद्रवत भद्ठ वो द्रुतं द्रवत कौरवा: । यथा जीवतन्न व: कश्रिन्मुच्येत युधि सृूज्जय:
abhidravata bhadraṁ vo drutaṁ dravata kauravāḥ | yathā jīvann na vaḥ kaścin mucyeta yudhi sṛñjayaḥ ||
桑阇耶说道：“进军吧——愿你们吉祥！快向前冲，俱卢诸人啊，使斯仁阇耶的战士无一能从战斗中活着逃脱。”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the uncompromising momentum of war: commanders urge swift, decisive action aimed at preventing the enemy’s escape. Ethically, it reflects the harsh kṣatriya battlefield logic where victory is pursued through relentless pressure, even as it starkly exposes the moral cost of such ruthlessness.
Sañjaya reports an exhortation to the Kaurava forces to surge forward rapidly and press the attack so thoroughly that the Sṛñjaya fighters (aligned with the Pāṇḍavas) do not get a chance to withdraw or survive the engagement.
