Pāṇḍava-senā-niryāṇa and Vyūha-vibhāga (पाण्डवसेनानिर्याण तथा व्यूहविभाग)
यच्चापि भीमसेनस्य मन्यसे मोघभाषितम् । दुःशासनस्य रुधिरं पीतमद्यावधारय,“इसके सिवा, तू जो भीमसेनकी कही हुई बातोंको व्यर्थ मानने लगा है, यह ठीक नहीं है। तू आज ही निश्चितरूपसे समझ ले कि भीमसेनने दुःशासनका रक्त पी लिया
yaccāpi bhīmasenasya manyase moghabhāṣitam | duḥśāsanasya rudhiraṃ pītam adyāvadhāraya ||
Und was deine Meinung betrifft, Bhīmasenas Worte seien leeres Prahlen gewesen—urteile nicht so. Wisse es heute mit Gewissheit: Bhīma hat tatsächlich Duḥśāsanas Blut getrunken.
श्रीकृष्ण उवाच
Educational Q&A
Words spoken as solemn vows in response to wrongdoing are not to be dismissed as mere bravado; in the Mahābhārata’s ethical world, such commitments bind the speaker and shape the moral momentum toward inevitable consequences.
Kṛṣṇa rebukes the listener for treating Bhīma’s earlier declaration as empty talk and insists that it has been (or will be) fulfilled—Bhīma drinking Duḥśāsana’s blood—thereby emphasizing the certainty of retribution tied to the Kauravas’ offenses.
