Duryodhana, Citrasena, Duḥśāsana [and] Viviṃśati, Śakuni and Duḥsaha, young Durmarṣaṇa, Kratha, and many other heroes, armed and unassailable, pursued Sātyaki, riding [ahead], from behind, indignant. Then there arose a great noise of your army, O honored one, like [the] ocean at the full moon, stirred up by the wind.

A whole host of princes chases after one man, "pṛṣṭhataḥ… anvadhāvan": the many pursue the single one. Their noise is "sāgarasya iva parvaṇi," like the sea churned at the full moon. It is telling that the fearsomeness of one has gathered a chase of many. The verse teaches that the greatness of a single man is measured by the number who pursue him: where an entire army rushes after one, that one is the true power before which multitude is powerless.
