भीष्मशिबिरगमनम् — Duryodhana’s Visit to Bhīṣma’s Camp and the Command Appeal

यो5न्वयो मातृकस्तस्य स एनमभिपेदिवान्‌ | संग्राममें पीठ न दिखानेवाला इरावान्‌ जब क्रोधमें भरकर युद्ध कर रहा था, उसी समय उसके मातृकुलके नागोंका समुदाय उसकी सहायताके लिये वहाँ आ पहुँचा

yo 'nvayo mātṛkas tasya sa enam abhipedivān | saṅgrāme pīṭhaṁ na darśayanevāla irāvān yadā krodhena bharan yuddhaṁ karoti sma, tadā tasya mātṛkulasya nāgānāṁ samūhaḥ sahāyatārthaṁ tatra samupāgataḥ ||

Sañjaya dit : Alors, la lignée maternelle qui lui était liée vint à son secours. Au moment même où Irāvān—qui ne tournait jamais le dos au combat—se battait dans un élan de colère, une troupe de Nāgas du clan de sa mère arriva là pour le soutenir.

Educational Q&A

Even in war, social and ethical bonds—especially kinship duties—remain powerful: allies may be compelled to protect their own, and courage is framed as steadfastness (not turning one’s back) despite danger.

As Irāvān fights fiercely and refuses to retreat, a group of Nāgas connected through his mother’s lineage arrives on the battlefield to assist him.
