Devanagari script
ततः प्रदुद्रुवु: शेषास्तव पुत्रा महाहवे । त॑ कालमिव मन्यन्तो भीमसेनं महाबलम्,तब उस महायुद्धमें आपके शेष पुत्र महाबली भीमसेनको कालके समान समझकर वहाँसे भाग चले
Transliteration
tataḥ pradudruvuḥ śeṣās tava putrā mahāhave | taṁ kālam iva manyanto bhīmasenaṁ mahābalam ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: Then, in that great battle, your remaining sons fled. Taking the mighty Bhīmasena to be like Death itself, they ran from that place—fear overwhelming their resolve and exposing the moral collapse that follows when pride and aggression meet righteous force.
