ततो दुर्योधनो राजा कृपश् च रथिनां वरः ॥
अश्वत्थामा ततः शल्यः काम्बोजश् च सुदक्षिणः ॥
विन्दानुविन्दाव् आवन्त्यौ बाह्लिकश् च सबाह्लिकः ॥
महता रथवंशेन पार्थस्यावारयन् दिशः ॥
तथैव भगदत्तश् च श्रुतायुश् च महाबलः ॥
गजानीकेन भीमस्य ताव् अवारयतां दिशः ॥
भूरिश्रवाः शलश् चैव सौबलश् च विशां पते ॥
शरौघैर् विविधैस् तूर्णं माद्रीपुत्राव् अवारयन् ॥
भीष्मस् तु सहितः सर्वैर् धार्तराष्ट्रस्य सैनिकैः ॥
युधिष्ठिरं समासाद्य सर्वतः पर्यवारयत् ॥
tato duryodhano rājā kṛpaś ca rathināṃ varaḥ ||
aśvatthāmā tataḥ śalyaḥ kāmbojaś ca sudakṣiṇaḥ ||

Then King Duryodhana, and Kripa, the best of charioteers, Ashvatthaman, Shalya, Sudakshina the Kamboja, the Avantis Vinda and Anuvinda, and Bahlika with his own Bahlikas, barred every direction to Partha with a great array of chariots. In the same way Bhagadatta and the mighty Shrutayus, with a force of elephants, barred every direction to Bhima. Bhurishravas, Shala, and Saubala -- Shakuni, lord of the people -- swiftly held back the sons of Madri with manifold streams of arrows. Bhishma, together with all the soldiers of Dhritarashtra's son, came upon Yudhishthira and surrounded him on every side.

The Kauravas strive to keep the Pandavas from acting as one body: Arjuna, Bhima, the twins, and Yudhishthira are each blocked by a separate force. This shows how dangerous their unity would be, if it were not torn apart.
