अभिमन्यु–अलम्बुसयुद्धम् / The Duel of Abhimanyu and Alambusa
with Arjuna’s approach to Bhīṣma
संजातरुधिरोत्पीडो द्रौणि: क्रोधसमन्वित: । नीलके छोड़े हुए उस पंखयुक्त बाणसे विदीर्ण होकर अश्व॒त्थामाके शरीरसे रक्तका प्रवाह बह चला। इससे अश्वत्थामाको बड़ा क्रोध हुआ
sañjāta-rudhirotpīḍo drauṇiḥ krodha-samanvitaḥ | nīlakenābhyutsṛṣṭena pakṣavatā śareṇa vidīrṇaḥ aśvatthāmanaḥ śarīrāt rudhira-pravāho bahu calat | tataḥ aśvatthāmanaḥ mahān krodho 'bhavat |
Sañjaya said: Struck and torn by the winged arrow released by Nīlaka, Droṇa’s son Aśvatthāman began to bleed profusely. As the stream of blood flowed from his body, his anger flared up greatly—showing how, in the heat of war, pain and injury can swiftly harden the mind into wrath and further violence.
