Bhīmasena’s Engagement with Multiple Mahārathas
स चाश्वान् रजतप्रख्यांश्नीदयामास माधव:
sa cāśvān rajataprakhyān snīdayāmāsa mādhavaḥ
Sañjaya dit : Mādhava (Kṛṣṇa), lui aussi, soigna et ranima les chevaux qui brillaient comme l’argent. Même au cœur de la fureur guerrière, il accomplit de ses propres mains ce service humble mais indispensable, qui soutient la vie et le dharma—manifestant constance, sollicitude et sens du devoir plutôt que orgueil.

True dharma includes attentive service to necessary duties, even in crisis. Kṛṣṇa’s willingness to care for the horses highlights humility and responsible leadership—supporting the larger righteous purpose through small, essential acts.
Sañjaya reports that Kṛṣṇa (Mādhava) personally tended the chariot horses—described as silver-bright—refreshing and soothing them after the strain of battle.
