विविन्ध्यं निहतं दृष्ट्वा तां च विक्षोभितां चमूम् ॥
कामगेन स सौभेन शाल्वः पुनर् उपागमत् ॥
ततो व्याकुलितं सर्वं द्वारकावासि तद् बलम् ॥
दृष्ट्वा शाल्वं महाबाहो सौभस्थं पृथिवीगतम् ॥
ततो निर्याय कौन्तेय व्यवस्थाप्य च तद् बलम् ॥
आनर्तानां महाराज प्रद्युम्नो वाक्यम् अब्रवीत् ॥
सर्वे भवन्तस् तिष्ठन्तु सर्वे पश्यन्तु मां युधि ॥

अहं सौभपतेः सेनाम् आयसैर् भुजगैर् इव ॥
धनुर्भुजविनिर्मुक्तैर् नाशयाम्य् अद्य यादवाः ॥

Having seen Vivindhya slain and their army shaken, Shalva again approached on the Saubha, which moved as it willed. The army of Dvaraka's people was thrown into confusion, seeing him low over the earth in the Saubha. Then Pradyumna went forth, arrayed the army, and said to the Anartas: 'Stand fast, all of you, and watch me in battle as I by force check the Saubha together with its king. Today I shall destroy the army of the lord of Saubha with iron arrows like serpents loosed from my bow-arm, O Yadavas. Take heart, have no fear: the king of Saubha shall perish today. Attacked by me, this evil-souled one shall perish together with his Saubha.' When the joyful Pradyumna spoke thus, the army stood firm once more and fought at ease.

One clear word from a righteous warrior restores order to many hearts. Pradyumna does not merely promise personal glory; he takes the community's fear upon himself and turns it into resolve.
