Shloka 41
सेनावशेषं तं दृष्टवा तव सैन्यस्य पाण्डव:,विश्रुतं त्रिषु लोकेषु व्याक्षिपद् गाण्डिवं धनु: । नरेश्वर! उस समय वहाँ खड़े हुए बलवान् पराक्रमी सव्यसाची पाण्डुपुत्र अर्जुन आपकी सेनाका कुछ भाग अवशिष्ट देखकर कुपित हो उठे और अपने त्रिलोकविख्यात गाण्डीवधनुषकी टंकार करते हुए आपकी रथसेनापर जा चढ़े
senāvaśeṣaṃ taṃ dṛṣṭvā tava sainyasya pāṇḍavaḥ, viśrutaṃ triṣu lokeṣu vyākṣipad gāṇḍivaṃ dhanuḥ |
Sañjaya said: Seeing that only a remnant of your army remained, the Pāṇḍava (Arjuna)—renowned in the three worlds—seized up his bow Gāṇḍīva and, with its famed twang, surged forward against your chariot-forces. The moment underscores how, in the pressure of war, resolve hardens into decisive action when one perceives the enemy’s weakening—yet the ethical weight of such momentum remains bound to the larger dharmic aim of the conflict.
