तथैव द्रौणिनिर्मुक्तिर्भीम: संनतपर्वभि:

tathaiva drauṇinir-muktir bhīmaḥ saṃnata-parvabhiḥ

Sañjaya dit : De même, Bhīma fut délivré de ce péril, car l’arme lancée par Drauṇi fut arrêtée et rabattue : son élan se plia et fut dompté. Le récit souligne qu’au cœur de la fureur guerrière, même les assauts les plus redoutables peuvent être contenus, et que la survie d’un combattant tient non seulement à la force, mais aussi au retournement du destin et à l’art d’opposer à la violence la maîtrise.

Educational Q&A

Even in war, outcomes are not determined by sheer aggression alone; force can be checked, and survival may come through restraint, counteraction, and the larger moral and fated currents that govern the battlefield.

Sañjaya reports that Bhīma is likewise delivered from danger, with the attack or weapon released by Drauṇi (Aśvatthāman) being brought under control—its momentum effectively bent down or subdued.
