भीष्मस्य शरवर्षः — Bhīṣma’s Arrow-Storm and Kṛṣṇa’s Impulse to Intervene

rakṣasāṁ puruṣādānāṁ nadatāṁ bhairavān ravān | prajānātha! te sarve vāhanā bhārī-cintāyāṁ patitvā mala-mūtraṁ cakruḥ | bharataśreṣṭha! bhayaṅkara-garjanā-kāriṇāṁ narabhakṣa-rakṣasāṁ mahāśabdāḥ śrūyante sma; parantu teṣāṁ vaktāro 'dṛśyāḥ āsan |
