Adhyāya 110: Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Lament on Fate; Saṃjaya’s Reproof and the Princes’ Assault on Bhīma (द्रोणपर्व, अध्याय ११०)
विकृष्य कार्मुकं घोरं भारसाधनमुत्तमम् । अलम्बुषं शरैस्ती&णैरदयामास सर्वतः,तदनन्तर पुन: होशमें आकर क्रोधसे व्याकुल हुए वायुपुत्र भीमने भार वहन करनेमें समर्थ, उत्तम तथा भयंकर धनुष तानकर पैने बाणोंद्वारा सब ओरसे अलम्बुषको पीड़ित कर दिया
sañjaya uvāca |
vikṛṣya kārmukaṃ ghoraṃ bhārasādhanam uttamam |
alambuṣaṃ śarais tīkṣṇair adayāmāsa sarvataḥ ||
Sañjaya said: Regaining his composure and shaken with wrath, Bhīma—the son of the Wind—drew his formidable, excellent bow, capable of bearing great strain, and from every side tormented Alambuṣa with sharp arrows. The scene underscores the relentless momentum of battle, where anger and duty drive warriors to decisive, even merciless, action.
