भीष्मपर्व — अध्याय ११०: पार्थभीमयोः प्रहारः तथा भीष्माभिमुखं संग्रामविस्तारः
Arjuna and Bhima’s pressure; escalation toward Bhishma
आत्मनि:श्रेयसं सर्वे प्राप्तकालं महाबला: । मन्त्रयामासुरव्यग्रा मन्त्रनिश्चयकोविदा:
ātmaniḥśreyasaṁ sarve prāptakālaṁ mahābalāḥ | mantrayāmāsur avyagrā mantraniścayakovidāḥ ||
তখন সেই সকল মহাবলী বীর সময়কে উপযুক্ত জেনে, অচঞ্চলচিত্তে নিজেদের কল্যাণের বিষয়ে পরামর্শ করতে লাগল; তারা পরামর্শে দৃঢ় সিদ্ধান্তে পৌঁছতে পারদর্শী ছিল।
