अथ दुर्योधन दृष्टवा भीमसेनो महाबल: । विधित्सु: कलहस्यान्तं गदां जग्राह पाण्डव:,तदनन्तर महाबली पाण्डुपुत्र भीमसेनने दुर्योधनको देखकर झगड़ेका अन्त कर डालनेकी इच्छासे गदा उठा ली
Transliteration
atha duryodhanaṁ dṛṣṭvā bhīmaseno mahābalaḥ | vidhitsuḥ kalahasyāntaṁ gadāṁ jagrāha pāṇḍavaḥ ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: Then, seeing Duryodhana, the mighty Bhīmasena—intent on bringing the quarrel to its end—took up his mace. The moment signals a decisive turn in the conflict: personal enmity and long-standing injustice are about to be settled through the harsh, duty-bound logic of war, where resolution comes not by words but by force.
