Bhīṣma’s Retrospective of the Jāmadagnya Rāma Encounter
Divyāstra-Pratiyuddha and Twilight Cessation
ततोअश्रान्ते रथे तिष्ठन् राम: प्रहरतां वर: । ववर्ष शरजालानि मयि मेघ इवाचले
tato 'śrānte rathe tiṣṭhan rāmaḥ praharatāṁ varaḥ | vavarṣa śarajālāni mayi megha ivācale ||
তাৰ পিছত যোদ্ধাসকলৰ শ্ৰেষ্ঠ ৰাম (পৰশুৰাম) অশ্ৰান্ত ৰথত থিয় হৈ, মোৰ ওপৰত শৰজাল বৰ্ষণ কৰিবলৈ ধৰিলে—যেনেকৈ পৰ্বতৰ ওপৰত মেঘে বৰষুণ ঢালে।

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights steadfast martial discipline: a great warrior maintains composure and sustained effort, expressing kṣatriya-dharma through direct, skillful engagement rather than hesitation or disorder.
Bhīṣma describes Paraśurāma standing firm on his chariot and unleashing continuous volleys of arrows at him, compared to a raincloud pouring upon a mountain—signaling the intensity of their duel.
