पाण्डवपरिचयः—विराटसभायां प्रकाशनम्
Identification of the Pāṇḍavas in Virāṭa’s Court
लब्ध्वा हि संज्ञां तु कुरुप्रवीरा: पार्थ निरीक्ष्याथ सुरेन्द्रकल्पम् । रणे विमुक्तं स्थितमेकमाजौ स धार्तराष्ट्रस्त्वरितं बभाषे
labdhvā hi saṁjñāṁ tu kurupravīrāḥ pārtha nirīkṣyātha surendrakalpam | raṇe vimuktaṁ sthitam ekam ājau sa dhārtarāṣṭras tvaritaṁ babhāṣe ||
当俱卢诸雄回过神来，举目便见帕尔塔（阿周那）威猛如因陀罗，已从战车拥塞之中脱身，独立于战场之上。见他如此情状，持国之子（难敌）立刻急声开口——由此牵动了交锋的下一转折。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the battlefield ethic of kṣatriya-dharma: even after being stunned and recovering, warriors must reassess the situation and respond decisively. It also underscores how true prowess (Arjuna standing firm and free) compels immediate strategic reaction from opponents.
After a setback that left them senseless, the Kaurava heroes recover and notice Arjuna standing alone, having broken out from the surrounding chariots. Duryodhana, seeing this, immediately begins to speak—introducing the next command or challenge in the battle episode.
