अथाक्रन्दद् भीमसेनो धृष्टद्युम्नश् च मारिष ॥
नकुलः सहदेवश् च धर्मराजश् च पाण्डवः ॥
आगच्छत प्रहरत बलवत् परिधावत ॥
प्रविष्टाव् अरिसेनां हि वीरौ माधवपाण्डवौ ॥
यथा सुखेन गच्छेतां जयद्रथवधं प्रति ॥
तथा प्रकुरुत क्षिप्रम् इति सैन्यान्य् अचोदयत् ॥
तयोर् अभावे कुरवः कृतार्थाः स्युर् वयं जिताः ॥
ते यूयं सहिता भूत्वा तूर्णम् एव बलार्णवम् ॥
क्षोभयध्वं महावेगाः पवनाः सागरं यथा ॥
athākrandad bhīmaseno dhṛṣṭadyumnaś ca māriṣa ||
nakulaḥ sahadevaś ca dharmarājaś ca pāṇḍavaḥ ||
āgacchata praharata balavat paridhāvata ||
praviṣṭāv arisenāṃ hi vīrau mādhavapāṇḍavau ||
yathā sukhena gacchetāṃ jayadrathavadhaṃ prati ||
tathā prakuruta kṣipram iti sainyāny acodayat ||
tayor abhāve kuravaḥ kṛtārthāḥ syur vayaṃ jitāḥ ||
te yūyaṃ sahitā bhūtvā tūrṇam eva balārṇavam ||
kṣobhayadhvaṃ mahāvegāḥ pavanāḥ sāgaraṃ yathā ||
"Then Bhimasena, and Dhrishtadyumna, O venerable one, Nakula and Sahadeva, and the King of Righteousness, the Pandava, cried out: 'Come forward, strike, spread out mightily around, for the two heroes, Madhava and the Pandava, have entered the enemy host. So that they may pass easily toward the slaying of Jayadratha -- do this quickly!' Thus they urged on the troops. 'Having joined together, swiftly stir up the ocean of the army, you of great swiftness, as winds stir the ocean.'"

All the leaders unite to clear the way for the two Krishnas: the task of Arjuna and Krishna becomes the concern of the whole camp. It is telling that the brothers spend their strength so that those dear to them may pass "sukhena gacchetām", easily. The verse teaches that the feat of a few rests on the self-giving of many: where brotherhood is real, all together clear the path for those entrusted with the essential task, and shared effort makes up for solitary valor.
