Shloka 11
तवैष भाग: समरे राजमध्ये मया कृत: । तवैवानुमते वीर तं विक्रम्य निबर्हय,“वीर! तुम्हारी अनुमतिसे ही समरांगणमें सम्पूर्ण राजाओंके बीच इस घटोत्कचको मैंने तुम्हारा भाग नियत किया है, अतः तुम पराक्रम करके इसे मार डालो
tavaiṣa bhāgaḥ samare rājamadhye mayā kṛtaḥ | tavaivānumate vīra taṃ vikramya nibarhaya ||
Sañjaya berkata: “Di medan perang, di tengah para raja, aku telah menetapkan ini sebagai bagianmu. Dengan persetujuanmu sendiri, wahai pahlawan—tunjukkan keberanianmu dan tewaskan dia.”
संजय उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse presents warfare as an ordered sphere of duty: a task is formally allotted (“bhāgaḥ”), accepted by consent (“anumati”), and then must be carried out with valor. Ethically, it highlights responsibility and accountability within a collective martial enterprise, rather than impulsive violence.
Sañjaya reports that a particular enemy has been designated as the addressed warrior’s assigned target amid the assembled kings. He urges the warrior, with prior approval, to display prowess and kill that opponent (identified in the accompanying gloss as Ghaṭotkaca).
