कर्णभीमसेनयुद्धम् | Karṇa–Bhīmasena Engagement

Chapter 111

Devanagari script

अलम्बुषं राक्षसेन्द्रं दृष्टवाक्रुध्यन्त पाण्डवा: | मायायुद्धविशारद राक्षसराज अलम्बुषको इस प्रकार युद्ध करते देख समस्त पाण्डव कुपित हो उठे

Transliteration

alambuṣaṃ rākṣasendraṃ dṛṣṭvā kruddhyanta pāṇḍavāḥ | māyāyuddhaviśāradaṃ rākṣasarājam alambuṣam ||

Translation

Sañjaya said: Seeing Alambuṣa, the lord of the Rākṣasas—skilled in warfare by illusion—fighting in that manner, all the Pāṇḍavas were stirred to anger. The verse highlights how deceptive, māyā-driven combat provokes righteous indignation in those committed to straightforward kṣatriya conduct on the battlefield.
