三阇耶说道：大王啊，被诸多强大的阿底罗陀（atiratha）从四面围困，那英勇的持军（Dhṛṣṭadyumna）仍在战场上纵横驰走，显出运使兵刃的迅捷娴熟——在战阵挤压之中，纪律与武艺并存的形象。

The verse highlights kṣatriya-dharma in practice: even when encircled by elite opponents, a warrior is expected to maintain composure, skill, and disciplined action. Ethical emphasis lies on steadfastness and trained restraint—prowess used with purpose in the ordered duties of war.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Dhṛṣṭadyumna, hemmed in on all sides by great chariot-warriors, continues to range across the battlefield, demonstrating remarkable speed and dexterity in weapon-use despite the surrounding pressure.
