अभिमन्यु-परिवेष्टनम्
Encirclement and Counterassault of Abhimanyu
प्रवर्तमाने संग्रामे तस्मिन्नतिभयंकरे । द्रोणस्य मिषतो व्यूहं भित्वा प्राविशदार्जुनि:,वह अति भयंकर संग्राम चल ही रहा था कि द्रोणाचार्यके देखते-देखते अर्जुनकुमार अभिमन्यु व्यूह तोड़कर भीतर घुस गया
pravartamāne saṅgrāme tasminn atibhayaṅkare | droṇasya miṣato vyūhaṃ bhitvā prāviśad arjuniḥ ||
সঞ্জয় ক’লে—সেই অতিভয়ংকৰ সংগ্ৰাম চলি থাকোঁতেই, দ্ৰোণাচাৰ্য দেখোঁতে দেখোঁতে অৰ্জুনপুত্ৰ অভিমন্যু ব্যূহ ভেদ কৰি তাৰ ভিতৰত প্ৰৱেশ কৰিলে।

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical tension of war: valor and resolve can be admirable, yet they unfold within a terrifying conflict where strategic formations and commanders’ oversight intensify risk. It invites reflection on how courage operates amid dharma’s complexities on the battlefield.
During a fierce battle, Abhimanyu (identified as Arjuna’s son) breaks through a military formation (vyūha) and enters it, doing so in Droṇa’s very sight—signaling a bold penetration of the enemy’s strategic array.
