अलायुधस्य भीमवधसंकल्पः
Alāyudha’s Resolve to Confront Bhīma
दिष्ट्या पश्यामि संग्रामे तीर्णभारी महारथौ । दिष्ट्या विनिहतः पाप: सैन्धव: पुरुषाधम:,“आज सौभाग्यवश संग्रामभूमिमें मैं आप दोनों महारथियोंको प्रतिज्ञाके भारसे मुक्त हुआ देखता हूँ। यह बड़े हर्षकी बात है कि पापी नराधम सिंधुराज जयद्रथ मारा गया

قال سانجيا: «بحسن الطالع أرى في ساحة القتال أنكما، أيها الفارسان العظيمان على المركبتين، قد تحررتما من ثقل نذركما. وبذلك الطالع نفسه قُتل السِّيندهافي الآثم—جايادراثا، أحطّ الناس.»

Educational Q&A
The verse frames the outcome of a vow-bound crisis as resolved through providence: righteous resolve is vindicated, and a grievous wrongdoer (Jayadratha) meets retributive justice. It highlights the ethical weight of vows in dharma and the moral evaluation of actions even amid war.
Sañjaya reports that Jayadratha has been killed and that, as a result, two principal warriors addressed as “you two” are now released from the heavy burden of their pledged undertaking connected with Jayadratha’s death.
