so 'ticchanno mahārāja sūtaputreṇa pāṇḍavaḥ | na cakāra vyathāṃ rājan bhāskaro jaladair yathā ||

সঞ্জয়ে ক’লে—মহাৰাজ! সূতপুত্ৰে অতিশয় আচ্ছাদিত কৰিলেও সেই পাণ্ডৱে কোনো ব্যথা নকৰিলে; যেন মেঘে ঢাকিলেও সূৰ্য ক্ষীণ নহয়।

Educational Q&A

The verse teaches inner steadiness: even when one is outwardly pressured or obscured by a powerful opponent, one should not succumb to mental agitation. Like the sun behind clouds, true strength and clarity remain intact despite temporary concealment.

Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that the Pāṇḍava (understood here as Nakula) was heavily pressed/covered by Karṇa in battle, yet he did not show distress, being compared to the sun hidden by clouds.
