भीष्म–रामजामदग्न्ययुद्धप्रस्थानवर्णनम्
Bhishma’s Account of Parashurama’s Challenge and the March to Kurukshetra
ततो दिवि महान् नाद: प्रादुरासीत्ू समन्ततः
tato divi mahān nādaḥ prādurāsīt samantataḥ | tasminn eva kāle mayā jamadagnikumāre vāyavyāstrasya prayogaḥ kṛtaḥ | bhārata paraśurāmaḥ guhūkāstreṇa mama tad astram upaśamayāmāsa |
তেতিয়া আকাশত চাৰিওফালে এক মহা নাদ উঠিল। সেই মুহূর্ততে মই জামদগ্ন্যৰ ওপৰত বায়ব্য অস্ত্ৰ প্ৰয়োগ কৰিলোঁ। হে ভাৰত! পৰশুৰামে গুহূক অস্ত্ৰেৰে মোৰ সেই অস্ত্ৰক শান্ত কৰি দিলে।
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even in extreme conflict, power must be governed by dharma: divine weapons are deployed with discipline and are countered without indiscriminate destruction, reflecting restraint and responsibility in warfare.
A great celestial tumult arises; Bhishma discharges the Vāyavya weapon at Parashurama, and Parashurama neutralizes it using the Guhūka weapon, showing parity of martial-spiritual prowess and the use of counter-astras.
