भीष्मस्य शरशय्या-प्राप्तिः
Bhīṣma’s Fall to the Arrow-Bed
उरःस्थेन बभौ तेन भीमसेन: प्रतापवान्
uraḥsthena babhau tena bhīmasenaḥ pratāpavān
Sañjaya sprach: Mit jenem (Waffenstoß/Aufprall) in der Brust steckend, strahlte der mächtige und tapfere Bhīmasena noch immer — sein Mut blieb ungeschmälert selbst unter direktem Angriff, ein Sinnbild der Standhaftigkeit in den brutalen Forderungen des Krieges.
