Shloka 92
शरतल्पे महेष्वासं शयानं पुरुषर्षभम् | रथात् प्रपतितं चैनं दिव्यो भाव: समाविशत्,रथसे गिरकर बाणशय्यापर सोये हुए पुरुषप्रवर महाधनुर्धर भीष्मके भीतर दिव्यभावका आवेश हुआ
śarat-talpe maheṣvāsaṃ śayānaṃ puruṣarṣabham | rathāt prapatitaṃ cainaṃ divyo bhāvaḥ samāviśat ||
قال سنجيا: لما اضطجع بهيشما، الرامي العظيم—ثورَ الرجال—على سرير السهام بعد أن سقط من عربته، دخلته حالةٌ من السموّ الإلهي. ففي قلب عنف الحرب وانهيار الجسد، يَسِمُ السردُ ارتقاءً باطنيًّا: إذ تغدو الهزيمة الظاهرة للمحارب عتبةً إلى مقامٍ أعلى وأثبت.

Even amid the harsh consequences of battle, the epic highlights the possibility of inner elevation: a righteous, steadfast person may be touched by a higher, divine composure when worldly supports fall away.
Bhīṣma has been struck down in battle and has fallen from his chariot. He lies on a bed formed by arrows, and Sañjaya reports that a ‘divine bhāva’—an exalted, transcendent state—enters and pervades him.
