व्यूहेष्व् आलोड्यमानेषु पाण्डवानां ततस् ततः ॥
सुदूरम् अन्वयुः पार्थाः पाञ्चालाः सह सोमकैः ॥
वर्तमाने तथा रौद्रे संग्रामे लोमहर्षणे ॥
प्रक्षये जगतस् तीव्रे युगान्त इव भारत ॥
द्रोणे युधि पराक्रान्ते नर्दमाने मुहुर् मुहुः ॥
पाञ्चालेषु च क्षीणेषु वध्यमानेषु पाण्डुषु ॥
नापश्यच् छरणं किं चिद् धर्मराजो युधिष्ठिरः ॥
चिन्तयाम् आस राजेन्द्र कथम् एतद् भविष्यति ॥

When the ranks of the Pandavas were being thrown into confusion here and there, the Parthas, the Panchalas together with the Somakas, advanced far forward. While such a dreadful, hair-raising battle raged, amid the fierce destruction of the world, like the end of the age, O Bharata — while Drona was valorous in battle, roaring again and again, and the Panchalas were dwindling, while the sons of Pandu were being struck down — the King of Dharma, Yudhishthira, saw no refuge anywhere and fell into thought, O lord of kings: "How will this turn out?"

The King of Dharma "na apaśyat śaraṇaṃ kiṃcit", finds no refuge: even the righteous know the hour when nothing gives support. It is telling that his anxiety is not for himself, but for the course of events. The verse teaches that even the steadfast come to a moment of bewilderment when the outcome is unclear; but the very question "how will this turn out?" is not despair but the beginning of a search for a way forward — for the wise, seeing no way out, do not fold their hands but keep searching.
