वसुदेव–अर्जुन संवादः
Vasudeva–Arjuna Dialogue in the Aftermath of Dvārakā
वैकृतं तन्महद् दृष्टवा भुजवीर्ये तथा युधि । दिव्यानां च महास्त्राणां विनाशाद् व्रीडितो5भवत्,युद्धके अवसरपर अपने बाहुबलमें यह महान् विकार आया देख और महान् दिव्यास्त्रोंका विस्मरण हुआ जान वे लज्जित हो गये
vaikṛtaṁ tan mahad dṛṣṭvā bhujavīrye tathā yudhi | divyānāṁ ca mahāstrāṇāṁ vināśād vrīḍito 'bhavat ||
Dijo Vaiśampāyana: Al ver que, en pleno combate, surgía aquella gran perversión en la fuerza de sus propios brazos—y al comprender la pérdida y el fracaso de sus poderosas armas divinas—se sintió avergonzado.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even celebrated strength and sacred martial skill can fail when inner order collapses; the ethical sting is shame—recognition that one’s power, once governed by discipline and dharma, has become distorted and unreliable.
In the midst of fighting, a warrior witnesses a great abnormal change in his own arm-strength and the ruin/ineffectiveness of mighty divine weapons; realizing this reversal, he is overcome by shame.
