Shloka 26
Bhīmasena’s Discourse on Kāla, Resolve, and the Feasibility of Ajñātavāsa (भीमसेनस्य कालोपदेशः)
यत् ते भयममित्रघ्न हृदि सम्परिवर्तते । तत् ते5हं नाशयिष्यामि विधिदृष्टेन कर्मणा,शत्रुहन्ता भारत! भीष्म, द्रोण, कृपाचार्य, कर्ण, अश्वत्थामा, धृतराष्ट्रपुत्र दुर्योधन और दुःशासनसे भी जो तुम्हारे मनमें भय समा गया है, उसे मैं शास्त्रीय उपायसे नष्ट कर दूँगा
yat te bhayam amitraghna hṛdi samparivartate | tat te 'haṃ nāśayiṣyāmi vidhidṛṣṭena karmaṇā ||
قال فياسا: «يا قاتل الأعداء، أيّ خوفٍ يضطرب في قلبك، فسأُبيده لك بعملٍ جارٍ على ما تقضي به القاعدة المقدّسة.»

Educational Q&A
Fear that repeatedly agitates the mind should be met with dharmically sanctioned action and guidance; the verse emphasizes that right means (vidhi) can restore inner steadiness and moral confidence, not merely raw power.
Vyāsa addresses the hero who is troubled by fear of formidable opponents and promises to remove that fear through a properly prescribed course of action—implying counsel, ritual, or divinely aligned strategy rather than impulsive reaction.
