धृतराष्ट्र-संजय-संवादः — दुर्योधनस्य ह्रदप्रवेशः
Dhṛtarāṣṭra–Saṃjaya Dialogue: Duryodhana’s Entry into the Lake
आससाद रणे यानन््तं सहदेवो5थ सौबलम् । इसके बाद गन्धारदेशके हृष्ट-पुष्ट घोड़ों और घुड़सवारोंसे सुरक्षित तथा विजयके लिये दृढ़संकल्प होकर रणभूमिमें जाते हुए सुबलपुत्र शकुनिपर सहदेवने आक्रमण किया ।।
āsasāda raṇe yāntaṁ sahadevo ’tha saubalam |
三阇耶说道：随后，萨诃提婆逼近正向战场推进的苏婆罗之子沙昆尼。怀着必胜的坚决，萨诃提婆向这位狡黠的犍陀罗统帅发起猛攻；沙昆尼在良种壮马与娴熟骑士的护卫下前行——此番相遇，既由旧怨铭心所驱，也由战争的严酷所迫。

The verse highlights kṣatriya-dharma in its stark form: when injustice and harm have been done, a warrior may be bound to confront the wrongdoer in open battle. Ethical weight falls on resolve, accountability, and facing consequences rather than evasion.
Sañjaya reports that Sahadeva advances and attacks Śakuni (Subala’s son) as Śakuni moves forward on the battlefield with cavalry protection, setting up a direct confrontation between Sahadeva and the architect of many earlier deceptions.
