Droṇotpattiḥ, Astralābhaḥ, Drupada-vairasya bījaṃ ca
The Birth of Droṇa, Acquisition of Weapons, and the Seed of Enmity with Drupada
अथवाप्यहमेवैनं हनिष्यामि वृकोदर । कृतकर्मा परिश्रान्त: साधु तावदुपारम,वृकोदर! अथवा मैं ही इसे मार डालूँगा। तुम अधिक युद्ध करके थक गये हो। अतः कुछ देर अच्छी तरह विश्राम कर लो
athavāpy aham evainaṃ haniṣyāmi vṛkodara | kṛtakarmā pariśrāntaḥ sādhu tāvad upārama vṛkodara ||
قال أرجونا: «وإلا فسأقتله أنا بنفسي، يا فِرْكودَرا. لقد أديتَ ما عليك وأرهقك جهد القتال؛ فاسترحْ حسنًا قليلًا.»

Educational Q&A
Even amid warfare, dharma includes measured action and care for one’s companions: Arjuna combines resolve to complete the necessary task with concern for Bhīma’s exhaustion, urging rest rather than needless overstrain.
Arjuna addresses Bhīma (Vṛkodara), noting that Bhīma has fought hard and is fatigued. Arjuna proposes that he himself will take over and kill the opponent, while Bhīma should pause and rest for a time.
