Adhyāya 65: Dawn Assembly, Makara–Śyena Vyūhas, and Commander Engagements
तमुद्यतगद दृष्टवा कैलासमिव शृज्िणम् । भीमसेनं महाबाहें पुत्रास्ते प्राद्रवन्ू भयात्,गदा उठाये हुए महाबाहु भीमसेनको एक शिखरसे युक्त कैलास पर्वतके समान उपस्थित देख आपके सभी पुत्र भयके मारे भाग गये
tam udyatagadāṃ dṛṣṭvā kailāsam iva śṛṅgiṇam | bhīmasenaṃ mahābāho putrās te prādravan bhayāt ||
સંજય બોલ્યો—ગદા ઉંચી કરીને ઉભેલા મહાબાહુ ભીમસેનને શિખરોથી શોભિત કૈલાસ પર્વત સમાન જોઈ તમારા પુત્રો ભયથી ભાગી ગયા.
संजय उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how true martial prowess and resolute courage can dissolve the confidence of opponents; in the ethical frame of kṣatriya-dharma, valor grounded in purpose becomes a force that exposes fear and instability in those driven by arrogance or mere advantage.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Bhīma, holding his mace aloft and appearing as formidable as peak-crowned Mount Kailāsa, advances in battle; seeing him, Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s sons panic and flee.
