Śalya-parva Adhyāya 26 — Duryodhana’s remnant formation and rapid engagements
अभ्यद्रवन्त संग्रामे भीमसेनं युयुत्सव: । उस वीरके गिरते ही आपके सैनिक भयसे व्याकुल होनेपर भी संग्राममें जूझनेकी इच्छासे भीमसेनकी ओर दौड़े
abhyadravanta saṅgrāme bhīmasenaṃ yuyutsavaḥ |
三阇耶说道：怀着求战之心，他们在战场上奔向毗摩塞那。纵然那位英雄已然倒下，你的军队也因恐惧而动摇，但投入厮杀的意志仍驱使他们冲向毗摩——显出在战争中，决心有时能暂时压过惊惶与悲恸。

The verse highlights a battlefield ethic of resolve: even when fear arises after a hero’s fall, the warrior’s commitment to combat (kṣatriya-dharma) can compel action. It also subtly shows the tension between human emotion (panic, grief) and the cultivated duty-bound will to fight.
Sañjaya reports that combatants, eager for battle, charge toward Bhīmasena. Despite the fall of a notable hero and the resulting fear among Duryodhana’s troops, they still rush at Bhīma, driven by the desire to continue the fight.
