ततस्तु सात्वतस्यार्थे भीमसेनो नवं दृढम् । मुमोच परिघं घोरं सोमदत्तस्य वक्षसि,तत्पश्चात् सात्यकिकी ओरसे भीमसेनने सोमदत्तकी छातीको लक्ष्य करके एक नूतन सुदृढ़ एवं भयंकर परिघ छोड़ा
Transliteration
tatastu sātvatasya arthe bhīmaseno navaṁ dṛḍham | mumoca parighaṁ ghoraṁ somadattasya vakṣasi ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: Then, for the sake of the Sātvata (Sātyaki), Bhīmasena hurled a new, firm, and dreadful iron club straight at Somadatta’s chest. The scene underscores the battlefield ethic of protecting one’s ally and acting decisively in defense of a comrade amid the brutal demands of war.
