Shloka 27
द्रोणानीकाभिमुखगमनम्
Abhimanyu advances toward Droṇa’s host
नाहं पार्थेन जात: स्यां न च जात: सुभद्रया । यदि मे संयुगे कश्चिज्जीवितो नाद्य मुच्यते,यदि आज मेरे साथ युद्ध करके कोई भी सैनिक जीवित बच जाय तो मैं अर्जुनका पुत्र नहीं और सुभद्राकी कोखसे मेरा जन्म नहीं
nāhaṃ pārthena jātaḥ syāṃ na ca jātaḥ subhadrayā | yadi me saṃyuge kaścid jīvito nādya mucyate ||
যদি আজি মোৰ সৈতে যুদ্ধ কৰি কোনো যোদ্ধা জীৱিত ৰক্ষা পায়, তেন্তে মই পাৰ্থ (অৰ্জুন)ৰ পুত্ৰ নহয়, সুভদ্ৰাৰ গৰ্ভজাতো নহয়।
भीम उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes the kṣatriya ideal of steadfastness: a warrior binds himself by a public vow, staking honor and identity on fulfilling a duty in battle. It illustrates how personal reputation and lineage are invoked to intensify commitment to one’s chosen course.
In the midst of the Drona Parva’s fierce fighting, Bhīma makes a thunderous declaration that none who engage him today should escape alive. It functions as a dramatic oath meant to inspire allies, intimidate opponents, and signal his readiness for decisive action.
