वेगं चक्रे महाबाहुर्भीमसेनरथं प्रति । महामना पाण्डुपुत्रने उसे गहरी चोट पहुँचायी थी। अतः महाबाहु अभश्वत्थामाने भीमसेनके रथपर ही बड़े वेगसे आक्रमण किया ।। ९९ $ ।। तत आकर्णपूर्णानां शराणां तिग्मतेजसाम्

সঞ্জয় ক’লে—মহাবাহু অশ্বত্থামা ভীমসেনৰ ৰথৰ প্ৰতি মহাবেগে ধাৱিত হ’ল। তাৰ পাছত কানলৈকে টানি ছোড়া, তীক্ষ্ণ তেজস্বী শৰসমূহৰ বৰ্ষা নামিল।

The verse highlights the kshatriya ethos in war: when challenged or injured, a warrior is expected to respond with resolve and directness, channeling anger into disciplined action rather than fear or indecision.
Sanjaya reports that a mighty warrior suddenly accelerates and charges toward Bhima’s chariot, indicating a focused attempt to engage Bhima in close combat and turn the tide through a decisive strike.
