Shloka 46
अपक्रम्य तु ते तूर्ण तस्मादायोधनान्नूप । शोकसंविग्नमनसश्रिन्ताध्यानपराभवन्
sañjaya uvāca | apakramya tu te tūrṇaṃ tasmād āyodhanān nṛpa | śokasaṃvignamanasaś cintādhyānaparābhavan ||
三阇耶说道：“大王啊，那些人心为悲痛所震，迅速从战场退去。哀伤压顶，他们沉入惶惶的思虑之中——思量当作何为，亦思量此刻在战争废墟间，义务之法（达摩）究竟要求什么。”

Even in the midst of war, intense grief can force a pause that turns warriors from action to reflection. The verse highlights a moral-psychological moment: withdrawal is not merely tactical, but an ethical and emotional reckoning—cintā and dhyāna about what duty (kartavya) now demands after devastating events.
Sanjaya reports to King Dhṛtarāṣṭra that the (previously mentioned) warriors quickly leave the battlefield. Their minds are shaken by sorrow, and they become absorbed in anxious contemplation, indicating a temporary break in combat driven by grief and deliberation.
