Shloka 47
बलवत् प्रतिविद्धस्य नस्त: शोणितमावहत् | तदप्राप्तं महीं पार्थ: पाणिश्यां प्रत्यगृह्नत
balavat pratividdhasya nastaḥ śoṇitam āvahat | tad aprāptaṃ mahīṃ pārthaḥ pāṇibhyāṃ pratyagṛhṇat |
قال فايشَمبايانا: ولما ضُرب ضربةً شديدة سال الدم من أنفه. غير أن بارثا التقيّ (يودهيشثيرا) تلقّاه بكفّيه قبل أن يقع على الأرض.

Even when injured or humiliated, a dhārmika person maintains restraint and propriety; Yudhiṣṭhira’s act of preventing blood from falling to the ground reflects disciplined conduct and reverence for order and cleanliness amid adversity.
After being struck forcefully, blood flows from Yudhiṣṭhira’s nose; before it can drip onto the earth, he catches it in his hands, showing composure and ethical mindfulness in a tense situation.
