Karṇa-parva Adhyāya 58 — Arjuna’s Arrow-Storm and Relief of Bhīmasena
Devanagari script
एतस्मिन्नन्तरे वीर: सहदेवो जनाधिप । अपोवाह रथेनाजोौ पार्षत॑ शत्रुतापनम्,नरेश्वर! इसी बीचमें वीर सहदेव शत्रुओंको संताप देनेवाले धृष्टद्युम्नको अपने रथके द्वारा रणभूमिमें अन्यत्र हटा ले गये
Transliteration
etasminn antare vīraḥ sahadevo janādhipa | apovāha rathenājau pārṣataṃ śatrutāpanam ||
Translation
Sanjaya said: In the midst of that encounter, the valiant Sahadeva, O king, drew away from the battlefield by his chariot the Pārṣata hero—Dhrishtadyumna—who was a scourge to his foes. The act signals tactical prudence amid the fury of war: preserving a key commander and repositioning him rather than letting valor harden into needless loss.
