भीमसेनस्य आत्मबलप्रशंसा — Bhīmasena’s Assertion of Strength
Udyoga Parva, Adhyāya 74
न च स्वपिषि जागर्षि न्युब्ज: शेषे परंतप । घोरामशान्तां रुषतीं सदा वाचं प्रभाषसे
na ca svapiṣi jāgarṣi nyubjaḥ śeṣe paraṃtapa | ghorām aśāntāṃ ruṣatīṃ sadā vācaṃ prabhāṣase, paraṃtapa ||
হে পরন্তপ! শুয়ে পড়লেও তুমি ঘুমোতে না, জেগেই থাকতে। আর কখনও শুতে হলে উপুড় হয়ে শুতে; তোমার মুখ থেকে সর্বদা ভয়ংকর, অশান্ত ও ক্রোধময় বাক্যই বেরোত।
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Uncontrolled anger and inner agitation manifest outwardly as sleeplessness, harsh speech, and loss of composure—signs that one’s mind is not governed by dharma and self-restraint.
The narrator Vaiśampāyana describes a warrior addressed as ‘paraṃtapa’ as being so consumed by distress and wrath that he cannot sleep; even when he lies down, he lies prone, and his speech remains continually fierce and unsettled.
