Shloka 31
अर्जुनागमनम्
Arjuna’s Arrival and Reunion on the Sacred Mountain
स केसरीव चोत्सिक्त: प्रभिन्न इव वारण: । व्यपेतभयसम्मोह: शैलमभ्यपतद् बली,बलवान् भीमसेन मदोन्मत्त सिंह और मदकी धारा बहानेवाले गजराजकी भाँति भय और मोहसे रहित हो उस पर्वतपर चढ़ने लगे
sa kesarīva cotsiktaḥ prabhinna iva vāraṇaḥ | vyapetabhaya-sammohaḥ śailam abhyapatad balī || balavān bhīmasenaḥ madonmatta-siṃhaḥ ca mada-dhārā-vahaneva gajarāja-vat bhaya-moha-rahitaḥ saṃ śailam āroḍhuṃ pravavṛte ||
Vaiśaṃpāyana said: Like an exultant lion, like a rut-maddened elephant in full charge, mighty Bhīmasena—free from fear and delusion—rushed toward the mountain and began to climb it. The verse underscores a warrior’s ideal of resolute action: courage grounded in clarity of mind, not in reckless confusion.
