अथात्मजास् ते सहिताभिपेतुर्; अन्ये च योधास् त्वरितास् त्वदीयाः ॥
कृत्वा मुखं भारत योधमुख्यं; दुःशासनं त्वत्सुतम् आजमीढ ॥
ते सर्वतः संपरिवार्य संख्ये; शैनेयम् आजघ्नुर् अनीकसाहाः ॥
स चापि तान् प्रवरः सात्वतानां; न्यवारयद् बाणजालेन वीरः ॥
निवार्य तांस् तूर्णम् अमित्रघाती; नप्ता शिनेः पत्रिभिर् अग्निकल्पैः ॥
दुःशासनस्यापि जघान वाहान्; उद्यम्य बाणासनम् आजमीढ ॥
athātmajās te sahitābhipetur; anye ca yodhās tvaritās tvadīyāḥ ||
kṛtvā mukhaṃ bhārata yodhamukhyaṃ; duḥśāsanaṃ tvatsutam ājamīḍha ||
te sarvataḥ saṃparivārya saṃkhye; śaineyam ājaghnur anīkasāhāḥ ||
sa cāpi tān pravaraḥ sātvatānāṃ; nyavārayad bāṇajālena vīraḥ ||
nivārya tāṃs tūrṇam amitraghātī; naptā śineḥ patribhir agnikalpaiḥ ||

Then your sons rushed at him together, and your other warriors, hastening, having placed, O Bharata, the chief of warriors, Duhshasana your son, O Ajamidha, at the front. Surrounding him on all sides in battle, they struck at the son of Shini [Satyaki], steadfast in the ranks; but he, the foremost of the Satvatas, the hero, repelled them with a net of arrows. Having swiftly repelled them, the slayer of foes, the grandson of Shini, with feathered, fire-like arrows, struck down Duhshasana's horses as well, having raised his bow, O Ajamidha.

Dhritarashtra's sons, en masse, with Duhshasana at their head, surround one man — and the lone hero repels them all with a net of arrows. It is telling that once again a disproportionate multitude falls upon a single man: such disorder of measure is the mark of an unjust cause. The verse teaches that numbers do not overcome undivided valor; and one who stands alone against many, defending a friend, turns back their assault, for behind him stands the firmness of righteousness, while behind them is only the haste of fear.
