Санджая
संजय उवाच
तस्यां निशायां व्युष्टायां द्रोणः शस्त्रभृतां वरः ॥
स्वान्य् अनीकानि सर्वाणि प्राक्रामद् व्यूहितुं ततः ॥
शूराणां गर्जतां राजन् संक्रुद्धानाम् अमर्षिणाम् ॥
श्रूयन्ते स्म गिरश् चित्राः परस्परवधैषिणाम् ॥
विस्फार्य च धनूंष्य् आजौ ज्याः करैः परिमृज्य च ॥
विनिःश्वसन्तः प्राक्रोशन् क्वेदानीं स धनंजयः ॥

When that night had passed, Drona, the best of weapon-bearers, set about arraying all his own troops. Various speeches were heard, O king, of heroes roaring, enraged, impatient, longing to slay one another. And, twanging their bows in battle with a clang, stroking the bowstrings with their hands, breathing heavily, they cried out: "Where now is that Dhananjaya?"

The Kaurava camp greets the day with roars and a challenge: "kva idānīṃ sa dhanaṃjayaḥ" -- "where now is Dhananjaya?" It is telling that this bravado is the reverse side of fear: they summon the one they secretly dread. The day before they trembled like timid deer; now they roar -- but Arjuna's name is on every tongue. The verse teaches that loud boasting often masks anxiety: whoever repeatedly summons an enemy is preoccupied with him beyond measure; and clamorous fury before battle is often born not of fearlessness but of relentless dread of the opponent.
