Arjuna Breaks the Encirclement; Bhīma Reinforces
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्ााभारत कर्णपर्वमें अश्वत्थामाका पलायनविषयक उनसठवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ ॥/ ५९ ॥। हि 7 छा हर षष्टितमो< ध्याय: श्रीकृष्णका अर्जुनसे दुर्योधन और कर्णके पराक्रमका वर्णन करके कर्णको मारनेके लिये अर्जुनको उत्साहित करना तथा भीमसेनके दुष्कर पराक्रमका वर्णन करना संजय उवाच एतस्मिन्नन्तरे कृष्ण: पार्थ वचनमत्रवीत् । दर्शयन्निव कौन्तेयं धर्मराजं युधिष्ठिरम्
sañjaya uvāca | etasminn antare kṛṣṇaḥ pārtha vacanam abravīt | darśayann iva kaunteyaṃ dharmarājaṃ yudhiṣṭhiram |
Sañjaya dijo: «Oh rey, en ese mismo instante Kṛṣṇa habló así a Pārtha (Arjuna), como si le hiciera contemplar a Dharmarāja Yudhiṣṭhira: recordándole el deber justo y lo que estaba vivo y en juego en aquella guerra, para afirmar su resolución ante lo que debía hacerse.»
संजय उवाच
Educational Q&A
Kṛṣṇa’s counsel frames action in war as accountable to dharma: Arjuna is reminded—by the implied ‘vision’ of Dharmarāja Yudhiṣṭhira—that his choices must protect righteous order and the legitimate king, not merely pursue personal victory.
Sanjaya narrates that, in the midst of events, Kṛṣṇa begins speaking to Arjuna. The phrase ‘as though showing him Yudhiṣṭhira’ signals that Kṛṣṇa is directing Arjuna’s attention to Yudhiṣṭhira’s presence and cause, preparing to urge decisive action in the ongoing battle.
