Arjuna–Bhīṣma Strategic Engagement and Mutual Arrow-Interdiction (भीष्मार्जुनसमागमः)
ततस्ते जातसंरम्भा: परस्परकृतागस: । अन्योन्यस्यर्धया राजन् व्यायच्छन्त महारथा:
tataste jātasaṁrambhāḥ parasparakṛtāgasaḥ | anyonyasyārdhayā rājan vyāyacchanta mahārathāḥ ||
قال سَنْجَيا: ثم إن أولئك المحاربين العظام على العجلات، وقد اشتعلت حميّتهم من جديد، تذكّروا المظالم التي اقترفها بعضُهم في حقّ بعض. يا ملك، وبفعل التنافس بينهم بذلوا جهداً خاصاً في ساحة القتال، وكلٌّ منهم يبتغي الظفر.

Educational Q&A
Unresolved past offenses and mutual resentment can rapidly inflame into destructive rivalry; ethical lapses between people, when remembered in a crisis, intensify conflict and drive extreme exertion for domination rather than restraint.
Sañjaya reports that the elite warriors, stirred by recollection of past mutual wrongs, become enraged and, out of competitive hostility, fight with heightened effort to secure victory.
