एतस्मिन्न् एव काले तु भीष्मः शांतनवः पुनः ॥
व्यहनत् पाण्डवीं सेनाम् आसुरीम् इव वृत्रहा ॥
ते वध्यमाना भीष्मेण पाञ्चालाः सोमकैः सह ॥
आर्यां युद्धे मतिं कृत्वा भीष्मम् एवाभिदुद्रुवुः ॥
धृष्टद्युम्नमुखाश् चापि पार्थाः शांतनवं रणे ॥
अभ्यधावञ् जिगीषन्तस् तव पुत्रस्य वाहिनीम् ॥
तथैव तावका राजन् भीष्मद्रोणमुखाः परान् ॥
अभ्यधावन्त वेगेन ततो युद्धम् अवर्तत ॥
etasminn eva kāle tu bhīṣmaḥ śāṃtanavaḥ punaḥ ||

At this very time, Bhishma, son of Shantanu, was once again smiting the Pandava army, like the slayer of Vritra smiting the host of demons. The Panchalas, together with the Somakas, being cut down by Bhishma, made a noble resolve in battle and rushed straight upon him. The Parthas, led by Dhrishtadyumna, charged against the son of Shantanu in battle, desiring to overcome the army of your son. Likewise your warriors, O king, led by Bhishma and Drona, charged swiftly against the enemy. Then the battle raged on."

The Panchalas and Somakas answer Bhishma's onslaught not with flight but with a decision to go straight at the source of destruction. The war gathers again around Bhishma: both sides understand that while he stands, the outcome of the day cannot be turned.
