कर्णभीमसेनयुद्धम् | Karṇa–Bhīmasena Engagement

Chapter 111

अभ्यद्रवन्त संक्रुद्धा भीमसेनादयो नृप । राजन! वे अत्यन्त उद्विग्न हुए भीमसेन आदि श्रेष्ठ वीर क्रोधमें भरकर रथोंद्वारा सब ओरसे अलम्बुषपर टूट पड़े

sañjaya uvāca | abhyadravanta saṅkruddhā bhīmasenādayo nṛpa | rājan, te atyanta udvignā bhīmasenādayaḥ śreṣṭha-vīrāḥ krodhena bharitā rathair alambuṣaṃ sarvataḥ pratyapatanta |

Sanjaya said: O king, Bhimasena and the other warriors, inflamed with anger, charged forward. Great heroes though they were, they had become intensely agitated; mounting their chariots, they rushed at Alambusha from every side. The scene shows how, in the pressure of war, righteous fighters can be driven by wrath and urgency, turning their strength into a coordinated assault against a feared foe.

Educational Q&A

The verse highlights how even noble warriors can be overtaken by agitation and anger in battle; ethically, it warns that krodha can drive action and intensify violence, so inner restraint remains a dharmic ideal even amid justified combat.

Sanjaya reports to the king that Bhima and allied heroes, highly disturbed and furious, mount their chariots and converge from all directions to attack Alambusha, signaling a coordinated counterstrike against a dangerous opponent.
