संजय उवाच
द्रुपदस्यात्मजान् दृष्ट्वा कुन्तिभोजसुतांस् तथा ॥
द्रोणपुत्रेण निहतान् राक्षसांश् च सहस्रशः ॥
युधिष्ठिरो भीमसेनो धृष्टद्युम्नश् च पार्षतः ॥
युयुधानश् च संयत्ता युद्धायैव मनो दधुः ॥
सोमदत्तः पुनः कुर्द्धो दृष्ट्वा सात्यकिम् आहवे ॥
महता शरवर्षेण छादयाम् आस सर्वतः ॥
ततः समभवद् युद्धम् अतीव भयवर्धनम् ॥
त्वदीयानां परेषां च घोरं विजयकाङ्क्षिणाम् ॥

Having seen the sons of Drupada and the sons of Kuntibhoja slain by the son of Drona, and rakshasas by the thousands, Yudhishthira, Bhimasena, Dhrishtadyumna Parshata, and Yuyudhana made ready and turned their minds only to battle. Somadatta, enraged once more upon seeing Satyaki in the fray, showered him with a great rain of arrows from every side. Then a terrible battle arose, one that greatly increased the fear of your men and of the enemy alike, both craving victory.

Grief for the fallen does not break the Pandavas; it gathers them toward the fight, sorrow turning into resolve. Tellingly, the battle "increases fear" for both armies at once — the thirst for victory does not remove the dread. The verse teaches that the loss of loved ones can either break a person or rally the spirit; and one who, having seen the fallen, turns grief into steadiness does not yield to fear, however dreadful the battle before him.
