स तैः परिवृतः शूरैः शूरो युधि सुदुर्जयैः । न स्म विव्यथते राजन्कृष्णतुल्यपराक्रमः॥६-५१-१६॥

Though surrounded by those heroes—formidable in battle—he, heroic himself, did not waver, O King, possessing prowess comparable to Kṛṣṇa’s.

Then Dhanaṃjaya (Arjuna), seeing Saubhadra closely engaged there, rushed forward in controlled anger, wishing to protect his own son.

Thereafter, the kings—attended by chariots, elephants, and horses, with Bhīṣma and Droṇa at their fore—advanced together against Savyasācin (Arjuna).
